Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.
There’s solid points in the comments, but I feel like we’re talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there’s really only one answer in that context :)
Wildly untenable concept in modern society…
I’m sure it would work great in a video game or something, but In the real world, this shit goes crony AF guaranteed.
We don’t measure aptitude or ability in our society, we absolutely suck at it. A person’s ability is measured by what pedigree they purchased at degrees R us, or worse, by how articulate and verbose they were when typing a resume. Occasionally, ability is measured by how well someone likes a person even…
Competence is valued in a very select few enterprises. Trades, IT, and at higher echelons, math nerds… That’s about it…
Well that’s a fun way to find out my client is borked :)
I use liftoff… Are these others better? There weren’t but a couple options when I first got on lemmy…
Well that’s not I typed lol
Jelly of the month club?
Is it weird that I just grossed myself out?
Dafuq is that supposed to be in that jar?!?
You need way more details here…
Basement or crawlspace? Do you have piers already? What’s under the wood, and is the wood above or below grade?
Yeah, it’s funny and nobody had mentioned it, so I did ;)
Basically a girdle? Flattens out anatomy you don’t want showing? I think I understood the context…
I think I’m misreading the article… I’m under the impression, based on how this is written, that they don’t have any binders in the store, and the context of my entire comment was based on that :)
It’s not all binders are secret squirrel mode I take it? It’s just an alternative option and they have some there?
Why the discretion about binders? Do people get hung up over them? It’s basically a girdle… Is it the 1800’s up in this bitch or something? Do we gotta hide the sears catalog from the kids?
Get some with nipples on em and wear em in public, you’re males, it’s legal. Should be legal for everyone anyway, or illegal for everybody…
A couple quotes…
Be who you are and say what you mean, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Both are difficult in terms of original source, but the best quotes usually are ;)
Point is, there’s three classes of problems. Most are type one - not my fucking problem.
Type two is what you’re talking about here, your problem, but you didn’t cause it. I’ve found that like 90% of these require serenity, because you can’t fix stupid… You kinda just gotta consider that until the light bulb comes on I guess? I’ve never had any issue with this one personally, it just always seemed self evident.
I’ve always struggled with type three, the things that are my problem and I caused them. That’s the shit I dwell on, because you can’t take it back, and sometimes, you can’t fix those either. You gotta swallow the pill on the fact that you did a stupid…
You weren’t the guy doing the stupid, ya know?
This is a ridiculously well authored article, and it makes it harder to read than the typical “just say what the audience wants to hear” clickbait that news has become, but it’s well worth the effort :)
Primary extraction (of rare earth metals) in the US is limited; only one active mine, the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility in California, produces rare earth elements domestically.
That stood out for me :) I’d expect California to have more stringent mining requirements than anywhere else and be less likely to have a mine looking for these very contemporary materials… Dafuq is going on here Oregon? New England? Both have rare earth reserves, let’s go…
There’s no context to the question?
At face value, no, there’s no technical reason you can’t run a Plex server and a lemmy instance on one computer :)
I’ll object to their tequila, but everything else I’m totally on board :)
Socialism is left/liberal as a concept (and so is capitalism, in actual fact)… It’s not left/liberal when implemented at scale…
The arbiter of resources, whatever or whoever that may be, invariably becomes right/authoritarian. The simple nature of the arbitration causes it, and a truly left/liberal society would, by necessity, require a lack of said arbitration.
Such a society cannot exist at scale. History has proven that repeatedly. A left/liberal society could arguably only exist as anarchy, and frankly, capitalism is far closer to that than communism is. The “every man for himself” nature of capitalism is inherently more capable of providing individual liberty and equal opportunity than the “to each according to his needs”, very simply because of the inherent requirement of having an entity judge that need… Said judging entity is inherently authoritarian in nature…
There were others who changed sports as well… Fosbury didn’t cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes…
He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.
Jimi wasn’t even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys…
Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I’d argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).
I get what you mean and don’t disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)
