I always assume most of these Republicans we've lost would be fighting for Trump brand kneepads and space in front of him like almost all of them do, but there have been some pretty surprising and notable examples of the exact opposite happening (George Will & Bill Kristol immediately come to mind). It's surprising some of the people who you think of from back in the day that support Trump. We had a poster here many years ago who used to really appreciate Victor Davis Hanson and while I didn't know tons about him I would have thought he wouldn't be a Trumper but he's all in. Same with this prior poster here.

Lol @ Ohio. If you're not first you're last!

Hilarious that he loves a socialist country more than America

Sorry Cas I should have been more clear. They have very rickety tables with very rickety privacy dividers where you fill out the scantron, then take it to the tabulation machine and feed it in using the privacy envelope. There's only 1 machine involved. I am bad at following directions and accidentally submitted a spoiled ballot (voted for too many candidates in one section) and the tabulation machine knew it and notified me. I thought that was cool and interesting, the machine is applying some quality rules and thresholds on ingestion.

Everywhere I've ever voted is basically scantron and you walk it over to tabulation machine but you get a manilla folder like cover to conceal the ballot and they have you hold that envelope while you feed it into the machine. If you give a **** about hiding your vote that is. I personally don't give a rats ass if the world knows I vote against the republic party

It is so great. I've been consuming a but of that content. There's one by Mic Tyson on twitter that kilt me

So if tue election was fraudulent in Ohio, then maybe we can't trust the Republic Party to get rid of election fraud, given they dominate state gov in the nation's armpit er Ohio and just administered a fraudulent election.

I think it is a bit heartening to see his slight bump in the polls corresponding to him turning up the heat toward Trump. This could encourage other republic candidates to so the same maybe

6% for Pence? Seems like he's rising in the polls then.

Thinking this is for Tigerbomb and Romad:

Another what now? Grand jury you say?

Could any band member get a personalized mix in their ear like no click but ill take that voice reminder for the change?

That video was informative thanks for posting. I've never heard the sound from iem like that before! I'm thinking the person talking to the band at the beginning and end was a live person but the voice alerting them to chorus/Verse etc is pre programmed based on measure count ot something like that?

There are local level bands making extensive use of midi and backing tracks. Midi is awesome. Hope Biff can stop buy and share his experience with it I think his group uses it a lot

I think there's a ton of this stuff going on in live performances these days. I also think there's a lot less outrage over fakers these days I mean any Solo singer is basically singing to perfected backing tracks. I think almost all big time acts rely on at minimum MIDI guardrails. I went to a concert last week where literally every vocal the lead singer sang appeared on the screen. No way you're doing that accurately without having a universal tempo being set for the entire band.

Here's another one that blew my mind when I first saw it. For vocals on a lot of records, the way it works now is the vocalist will just run thought X number of takes, beginning to end. Don't stop just because you messed up. So you wind up with let's say 10 saved takes of the lead vocals. Then they go through it syllable by syllable and meld/splice the final product out of the best syllable for each syllable out of the ten takes. Guitar solos are pretty similar. Lol

Unsolicited weird opinion of the day: I unabashedly love auto-tune. I think its awesome as an instrument/effect itself on people's voices and adds another dimension to a recording studio as an instrument itself. As a paying studio customer regularly I love when a the producer can fix a note with 2 clicks of a mouse instead of multiple people having to redo a Take when time is money. It liberates! I can understand people thinking it's cheating/covering up absence of talent and whatnot.... but that happens in recording in hundreds of different ways. For instance, On a recent record I played on one of the songs is 2 separate takes copy/pasted together half way through. Or... many people don't even know who actually played an instrument on a record. Netflix documentary Hired Guns is incredible.

This is really quite an interview. I just heard it on the podcast version of the show.

In the E Jean Carroll trial, Trump basically didn't mount a defense. He just took the L.

yep, he's already floated the idea that his first term was stolen because of impeachment.
