Dealing with 6 different media companies is exhausting. You have no idea. When they finally merge my staff will only need to pay one of them. More time for everyone to play golf. Win-win.

Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.

My guess is it depends on the damage this attack will cause. If the missiles are all shot down or hit desert, it will be some punitive F-35 strike on an Iranian airfield somewhere. But if there's significant damage and casualties it could escalate.

I don't think Iran is going to risk all out war with Israel and the US. I suspect they expect most of their missiles (like the drones) to be shot down. Perhaps that's wishful thinking though...

Who considers Patrick a trusted source of information? He’s basically doing comedy news with a focus on finance. Entertaining, interesting, but not like a full-on serious reporter.

It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.

Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

I’m doing my part!

That’s an article from 1950, perhaps not so relevant anymore today.

Not to say socialism isn’t a strong influence in many European countries, though I wouldn’t go so far as to call a European country as being primarily economically and politically “socialist”. Democratic socialism / Social democratic maybe, but that is much more of a centrist set of policies than the outright goal of a workers-owning-the-means-of-production economy. Just my 2c.

I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?
