It's the echo that sings "I want my M-T-Vvvvvvvvvvv" right before the guitar riff kicks in.

Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. in c/lemmyshitpost

Ah-yep that’s what I’m thinking of. Thanks.

I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn't one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

Which of the U.S. national parks in this image do you think is the most worth visiting? There are three exceptions. in c/asklemmy
[–] nuachtan 2 points 6 months ago

If you are considering either sleeping beat dunes or pictured rocks I would suggest taking the MI route instead of Wisconsin. Less traffic through Chicago and Milwaukee. The drive up the coast on US131 or US31 follows Lake Michigan the whole way and has beautiful scenery.

People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] nuachtan 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, but the shell of Christmas is like a gelatinous blob that swallows everything around it. Look at how many perfectly good winter tunes have been corrupted into being slaved to Christmas. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells (written for Thanksgiving), Frosty th Snowman. The list is endless.

It's like Sputnik! Quite spherical but pointy in bits.

Why Are Trump’s Accused Co-Conspirators Smiling for Their Mug Shots? in c/news
[–] nuachtan 53 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Where I live we are allowed to smile for a driver's license, but not a passport photo. I think it's because when you are traveling long distances you are going to look miserable so your passport has to reflect that.

Which way looks more comfortable as you wait for your coffee? in c/fuckcars
[–] nuachtan 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Live in MI. I walk a ton, but the closest dedicated coffee shop (Bigby) is 1.5 miles from me. There are, however, two restaurants that will also serve me coffee within .125 miles.

First, I agree with everything you typed. BUT

Second, "a little fortress of solitude and separates me from the public" is kinda the problem we have that leads to the top part of the picture. We in the West in general and the United States in particular have lost our sense of community. My car by myself listening to what I want in solitude is AWESOME, but stopping to sit and be part of a community is probably better for me.

"dyspeptic liver of a brain"

I didn't know he was a Vogon. It explains so much!

MacBook Use Scenario- what to max out? (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

Hello! I’m trying to figure out what kind of chipset/shared RAM would best suit a given scenario. There are two graphic-intensive things I use my current setup for (late 2019 i9 32GB MBP), and both seriously drive the Activity and CPU/GPU nuts slowing everything down to molasses.

  1. I regularly need to use three screens for work. The built-in retina display, an external monitor, and a 65" Promethean board (a Promethean board is similar to a SmartBoard). All three need different information on them. Currently, I need to downsize the resolution on the external monitor to avoid lag/freezing.

  2. I do a fair amount of video editing using Final Cut Pro. I’m not importing 4K video, but I do regularly need to combine several 3-5GB video files into several multi-cam clips. The background tasks often slow the process down. While scrolling the timeline view to insert titles the audio track preview (waveform) doesn’t render for several minutes.

My questions are how to avoid this on a future laptop. Would the extra GPU cores on the M2 chips do a better job with these tasks or is this a CPU issue? Would there be a noticeable difference between the Pro and Max chips and/or 32GB versus 64GB? Ideally, I would like to be running both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro at the same time.

Thanks in advance for any replies. The new shared RAM has me scratching my head.
