Woah buddy, no need to get all political.

Theatrics.

Power Metal in general has a bad rep because of the over the top cheesyness. DF was popular within the genre because they were much faster and had more solos than most other bands in that genre at the time. A lot of people did find them boring after a while since a good amount of their songs sounded pretty similar. But they were considered a solid band, they can for sure play what they wrote.

They blew up during Guitar Hero 3. Now mainstream audiences are exposed to the cheesy lyrics and over the topness of power metal. Gatekeepers gate keeping and now you’re a posers for liking them.

Their band members started living like rock stars in the 80s with their new found fame, showed up to a lot of shows drunk, didn’t perform well. Now people doubt they can actually play their songs.

Fast forward a few years, and they got their professionalism back on track. They investing into better live setups to play even better live than before, things such as in ear setup, timecoded midi changes, etc. They’re solid now and better than their pre-GH3 era, but a lot of damage already done to their name.

Without context of that poll, that doesn’t mean much. Someone who eat fast food or have it often might not have to cut back on eating it.

Thanks for ur account info mate 😎

Kind of will. There are already templates on demand for things like generating unit tests as you code. They’re pretty robust already, and have aside from a few things (or edge cases), I don’t have to do much code refactoring or fixing them.

They already save me several hours a week from manually setting up full ones. Haven’t delved into other stuff they can do, but I’m sure it would only be more useful with time.

I can very easily see companies looking at the time save and thinking “we can downsize”.

Yes, but Tiktok is worth billions. The law also won’t ban it unless it’s sold sold to an American company.

I’m on the conspiracy that Congress reps already have stocks in the companies that would bid for Tiktok, and they’re trying to force a sale.

Ahh, the old crowd sourcing the testing tactic, classic.

If you mean Visual Studio IDE (not VS Code), it’s actually the most robust fully featured IDE I’ve used. Using other IDEs, including other frameworks or languages, don’t come as close.

Easy management for external packages, easy build and project dependency mappings, easy unit test suites, etc. A lot of extensions work great out of the box (DB integrations, code coverage tools, security/vulnerability tools, benchmark testing, etc.).

Seeing as a lot of C#/.NET things are open source now, I wish that they would also work on an IDE for Mac and Linux. They’re about to retire the Mac preview VS, which didn’t compare to the Windows counterpart, but still usable.

I’d imagine he means Varg Vikernes. He’s like the poster child for this whole problem going in the community, specifically the BM community.

DICE is great, but most of these are tied to venues. Most of the bigger stages, stadiums, theaters, etc. all have contracts through LiveNation, so TicketMaster/LiveNation is the only way to enter those venues.

You can sometimes call the box office directly though.

I thought that phone charging was a harmonica, and I was so confused why that was charging.

I have a FiiO Q3, I recommend it too.

I’ve heard good things about the EK10/Olympus2, but haven’t tried it myself.

I would not buy PCI audio stuff. Lots of power goes through the motherboard, which makes these prone to RF interference, especially if you have a rig that has high power draw.

Best to buy a external USB dac/amp. Either make sure that your mobo has a separate USB hub from the main ones (which some mobos might label them DAC), or a USB cable that isn’t rated for high voltage.

Sounds exactly the same for a regular IT help desk job in a company that runs all windows or Mac.

To prevent confusion, I call them “VS Code” and “Visual Studio IDE”, because if you say Visual Studio, people assume you mean Visual Studio Code.

I love MusicBee. Was browsing through this post to see if anyone recommended anything that is similar to it, but still nothing.

Zombie Inc is my favorite track on the album.

They also said in a memo maybe 2 years ago they want WotC to be worth double their value in 5 years. That’s pretty unrealistic standards for an already established company.
