Let’s not make such sweeping generalisations.

For example, in the UK, the police have the legal power to search you if the have reasonable grounds to suspect that you have something on you in a few categories, like drugs. There are even (yet more controversial) powers to search people just because they’re in a specific area (though there are restrictions on why an area can be so designated). You don’t need to be arrested or handcuffed for this, although you might be.

There is and it’s called The Lord of the Rings…

Leftover food from a catered talk/conference

But jam comes in jars of a minimum size and sometimes it goes mouldy before finishing.

That would essentially mean the only reason to use Linux over Windows is ideological opposition to Microsoft, which is sheer nonsense.

It’s quite easy to produce music on the recorder. Young children often lack the breath control to not overblow and produce a horrible sound, but getting past that stage is seriously not that hard.

Beyond that, I would say that while instruments vary in their inherent difficulty, almost all instruments have music written for them that is designed to stretch the absolute masters of those instruments. The ceiling on musical skill is extremely high because of this.

It’s due to its historical use as an aid to musical composition and writing down music.

Telemann also has a nice recorder concerto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D-y2kJU0lg

I have dual booted since 2004 and this has never happened to me. Since 2016 I also didn’t take any precautions like I used to.

Don’t fuck a cello

I was just thinking so that’s where DRG got the design!

If you want an open source tool, you’re not going to have a proprietary font in it, are you?

But you’re right that I hadn’t thought about the borders.

The image editing part is already solved. The problem is the massive library of templates, which are copyright some unknown person, hence a legal liability. If you need to upload your own template you may as well use GIMP - it’s not like it’s hard to create a few text layers after adding the template. Prepositioning them and scaling them isn’t that big a deal.

In grad school your institution should be paying for fees like that. If the school itself isn’t paying, then doesn’t the supervisor have a grant they can file it under?

All the information I found about the “creative suite” is that it’s Krita, Kdenlive, Darktable, etc.

I’m listening to music. I don’t want to pause the music to listen to something that I could just read.

Other reasons I don’t want to watch a video might include:

• I don’t have headphones with me and can’t play sound because e.g. I’m in public
• Watching moving pictures when I don’t have to is annoying
• Reading is quicker than listening to the exact same text
• I’m just on Lemmy while doing something else and can’t take that much attention away from the something else
• Videos - and articles - often have a load of extra fluff I’m not interested in, which is waayy easier to skip over if it’s written.

Kerosene is still a non-polar solvent, why wouldn’t it dissolve styrofoam?

Take it back. How does the vibrating air equate to all that? It’s not like there’s a drums bit of air and a vocals bit of air - the vibration is all smushed together. Your brain separates it back out again. That’s why it can take training to separately hear some bits of music, or why you can’t usually pick out individual voices in a choir.

But all sounds are vibration. If you capture the vibration, you capture all of the sound. The “different sounds” are all a single pattern of vibration; it’s the brain and inner ear that decodes the vibration into separate sounds. And hence it can also be difficult to do, depending on what the sounds are.

No, because flattening the layers is a lossy operation but this is reversible.
