Ehh theres good and bad
I’m personally not a fan of brostep, but I will admit that skrillex was an early pioneer of the scene, and a lot of modern edm is shaped around that era (which is moreso around the start of mainstream edm imo). A lot of the first exposure of edm for people was through early internet culture, which a major portion was mlg memes and a lot of brostep. For me, if it wasn’t for brostep, I wouldn’t have color bass (one of my favorites atm along with just good ol dnb). Even brostep brought a resurgence in traditional (-ish) dubstep in the form of teardown and riddim (not much 2 step though)
Example of color bass that I like youtu.be/2mInwGLfEaI

Brine can be from industrial waste
Technically, brine just means a high concentration of salt in a fluid. It doesn’t necessarily have to be sodium chloride like we know, it can be other salts, like calcium chloride. Though the most common case for industrial brine is just desalination plants, other industries can still create brine, like mining/oil drilling. It also depends on how it’s released. Large amounts dumped at once is the reason for manmade brine pools.

Solid post, froge approved.
- Comment on Give us your craziest ocean facts. 🦑 1 week ago:
There are lakes in the ocean called brine lakes/pools. Brine is essentially concentrated saltwater; its high salinity means it’s denser than water. On rare occasions, brine doesn’t mix enough with the existing saltwater around it, sinking to the bottom of the ocean and forming these lakes. The lake itself is usually devoid of life; brine itself is so salty that animals go into toxic shock if exposed for too long. However, the edges usually are full of life, where usually things like mussels and other extremophile organisms thrive.
Side note, subnautica’s lost river is based off of this. No big leviathans in real life though, at least none observed yet…

I mean debtor prisons are basically just involuntary prison labor, which the US already has. Not really a leap, considering you can get arrested for legitimately anything.

Look at youtube for guides on customizing your mouse
You’d prob want to sand the mouse to let the primer adhere better, and go with small coats.
A outer protective coat after would prob work wonders since your finger oils will mess up raw paint fast
Disassembly is actually really easy for mouses so you can spray paint pieces individually, or at least just the shell

- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 3 weeks ago:
Shoes are pretty easy to guesstimate for US sizes if you have average feet (width being the biggest reason this fails). Men size is basically women size plus 1.5. This doesn’t work if you have a large foot size though, since women’s dont go up to the same max as men’s
Clothes are 100% a pain. Especially online shopping

Hmm might just be an unlucky design. Either that or the fan motor is squeaking from lack of lubricant.

You should check the thermal pads/paste
My gpu used to overheat and turn my pc off until I opened it and realized the paste was legit hardened clay
Gave it a cleaning and replaced all the paste and pads and it works pretty nice now

Mothers always pass the X chromosome due to how the egg works from what I remember. The sperm determines whether you get x or y for the second part.
There is a rare event where you can have multiple sex chromosomes, like XYY, but the X is always present (at least for humans). Considering the genes in an X chromosome are vital to life, even if we could artificially create YY, it would probably end up nonviable

- Comment on Anon fixes their games 5 weeks ago:
Depth of field and chromatic aberration are pretty cool if done right.
Depth of field is a really important framing tool for photography and film. The same applies to games in that sense. If you have cinematics/cutscenes in your games, they prob utilize depth of field in some sense. Action and dialogue scenes usually emphasize the characters, in which a narrow depth of field can be used to put focus towards just the characters. Meanwhile things like discovering a new region puts emphasis on the landscape, meaning they can use a large depth of field (no background blur essentially)
Chromatic aberration is cool if done right. It makes a little bit of an out of place feel to things, which makes sense in certain games and not so much in others. Signalis and dredge are a few games which chromatic aberration adds to the artstyle imo. Though obviously if it hurts your eyes then it still plays just as fine without it on.
- Comment on The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever 1 month ago:
When you can’t trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it’s hard to interact within the internet.
Sure, you can find real human connections by “touching grass”, but the internet shouldn’t be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn’t ever be.
