I've come to the conclusion that Airbnb simply isn't worth the hastle. Just give me a hotel that does things professionally. There's always something. Last place I stayed at was showing off a nice hifi system in the photos - turns out there are no cables and it's all just for show, like an Ikea display.


Same. At this point I look to hotels first, and then AirBnB if I can't find anything that meets requirements for price / location / quality.

I generally don't have to question if my sheets have been washed, and don't get bamboozled with extra cleaning or BS. If there is a problem I can go straight to Marriott or Hilton corporate and they'll usually handle it.

To be clear, I've had a lot of good experiences with BnB's... but also a lot of meh, and a few bad ones. A few 100s, but also a few 60s and a couple of 10s. Pretty much all of my hotel stays were solidly 70-80 out of 100 and at this point I prefer the predictability.


News of any kind should not be pushed by an OS.


Perhaps the magic of stumbleupon was the stuff you would stumble upon at that time.


Except information is never really "consumed", more like "copied and integrated".


By that rationale, entertainment media is not consumed.


And that's accurate, and why entertainment media can drive things like fashion trends


The generated music didn't match my specification. Style wrong, instruments wrong.


I heard that was near impossible, because the tooling was destroyed.


The tooling exists and was carefully packed away. The problem is the stuff that wasn't F-22 specific, and we can't make anymore, because the company that makes them doesn't anymore. Or doesn't even exist.


This is true.


Is that true?


Spoiler alert would have been nice.


Wow, that's impressive. The tones are remarkably clear, I wouldn't have guessed it was a Sid (apart from the 3 voices)

Edit: on second listen, it sounds like it has a bit of reverb applied? I wonder if it was recorded from real hardware.


i don't hear the reverb, but...it helps to remember the SID ADSR envelopes are a mix of linear and exponential...can't remember which is which. i believe AD are linear and rel is exp? but since reverb decay is more linear than exp, a linear env can sound a bit like 'verb.

one thing im noticing in this is skipped ticks in the player... mysterious brief random pauses in the sequencer, ouch, heh.
