No, Timidity++ is not a soundfont, it's a synthesizer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiMidity++

So, your installation found that Timidity++ was available and used it to synthesize the required sounds, no sound font needed (TiMidity itself can make use of available sound fonts though).

Oh, I do this plenty - walking around, executing 4 different tasks and forgetting items along the way.

Or, while walking, I assign the items to categories and try to carry them with the correct hand currently associated with their category and order the steps of depositing them so I can complete the collection and delivery task, mixing up categories and item order, thereby instantly and reliably forgetting where I put the required items 90 seconds after I've finished my rounds.

It's funny to retrace my steps and find an item in a completely unlikely spot since it was at the wrong position in my delivery stack, or because the sensation of the item in my hand made me think it would be something different while I didn't look at the items any longer after the first, cursory glance.

There is definitely a mechanism that prevents actual, readily available sensory information to be processed. Things can absolute become, for all intents and purposes, invisible. This can range from full blown flower bouquets put up all around the place that I don't notice for weeks, or a 4 feet pile of dirty clothes that I amassed somewhere, but that completely vanished from my field of vision, even though I walked past the thing at least 4 times a day until someone mentions it to me and it's right there, next to my office door. Before we both walked to the pile, I had no idea what they were talking about. Upon seeing it again, I was flabbergasted.

Nowadays, I have developed coping mechanisms that prevent most of these pitfalls though. It probably surprises neurotypical people that so much planning and energy goes into what should be easy, effortless routine tasks, but it's simply a different brain. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Plenty of advantages, too, so once I had a handle on the fundamentals of life without completely exhausting myself, it became mostly amusing. The odd lapse does in fact annoy, though.

There is a centralized, coordinated effort by the Federal Ministry of the Interior to obtain heaters and generators. The GIZ does a lot of the actual acquisition, from all over Germany, THW handles delivery and partially supports installation.

There are also smaller, local organizations such as https://stelp.eu/generatoren/

https://www.bgk-verein.de/stromgeneratoren/

I can't determine if these particular generators come from a private organization, or if they were funded by the government.

The sounds are coming from patch files loaded via PAT_Load_Instruments in libmodplug, which is what's used to generate the sounds.

You are right though that the patch/instrument consists of several pre-generated samples and does not use Timidity "live".

Whatever works for you dude, more power to you. I arrived here trying a lot of things over quite a few decades, and what I have works for me.

No, the law is not ideal, and yes, I do find the implications questionable as well. Some people could end up not being able to drive for multiple weeks.

However, that was the trade off that had to be made. People want weed to be legal, which it absolutely should be. Let's not forget this thread started out with outrage about a guy whon ran over a kid. Now, there are no tests that offer insights into a shorter, more recent time window of consumption, so how are we going to resolve the question if that driver was driving under the influence?

The law made a compromise, that, according to studies, mostly affects heavy users that consume THC daily, and yes, for those people, the law currently does not represent an ideal resolution. But that doesn't even apply to all people who smoke or otherwise consume weed, and it can be resolved by the introduction of better tests without rewriting the law while providing the necessary framework for legalization.

I'd prefer for weed to be legal and not being able to drive for a week than to be arrested, treated like a rapist by cops and then to be dragged to court for the possession of miniscule amounts of THC, which was the previous state.

That's a pretty normal picture if you have regular, social interactions. What's weird is posting that anywhere outside your circle of friends and the picture becoming the topic of public debate after one of the subjects allegedly shot someone.

That being said, and I say this as a married, retired old fuck - that guy definitely fucks.

The cherry on top is the warning about the PowerShell team cooking up their own version of a download command with an incompatible syntax, but still calling it curl.

They actually joke about it in the show, screaming "Aah, a crocodile", and it's just some woman working there. Same with the director being a lion, I believe.

The exhibit has turtles and penguins.

As someone who often lifts a finger, types out the first two sentences of a comment and then just resigns: thanks for the well-written comment.

It's not that they might be correct, it's the fact that it got this bad in the first place, and that people accept it.

Arthur should be equally devastated, pissed, burned out, not dismissive and potentially praising some made up grind while succumbing to survivor bias.

The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.

Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.

The comic highlights the differences in the portrayal of women and men in media, often oversexualizing women in any number of contexts.

A medieval maid milking the cows would probably not have looked (or smelled) like a supermodel.

Jesus Christ.

I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They'll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

I'm a big fan of archive.org and I regularly look for manuals, but they don't show up in common searches as a source, so knowing that now is really helpful. Thanks!

I argued that exact same way with someone very close to me. Their answer was:

But those gods aren't real!

Nothing you can do if that last conclusion isn't there.

Some context:

After Elmo's venture into posting anime stuff on Twitter, this feels rather tame I guess. Or I'm just too jaded to care about this timeline any longer.

I don't care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.

At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions

Jesus fucking Christ...

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.
