Congrats to this great idea! Love it.

The ones around my place all use EDH, which also has a map feature, but not as intuitive as this! Reminds me of vici.org

I just bought a $25 chinese 2x Oculink card and two Minis Forum DEG1, had some spare PSUs lying around, and just installed two cards on each. It works. I saw that there is also a 4x Oculink card, but i don't know it that will work, too.

How? Why couldn't it be a shot down isreali missile that landed in an urban area? Or a misfired iranian counter-missile? Why bomb only one school if Isreal's MOD is killing children? And why is farsi state media the only one reporting on it?

Why can't i just shake the feeling that Steam Machines will Valve's gateway to release Half-Life 3 as a Steam Machine title exclusive? Furthermore, HL will only be Linux exclusive, at least for the first few months to put pressure on Sony, MS and Nintendo and the GTA6 launch.

Egypt is a sovereign state with complete control over their side of the Gaza border.[0]

They do consult IDF and Israeli government, but the narrative, that Israel is 100% controlling all borders to Gaza is not factual and untrue.

Just to add, the german speaking version of the Cookie Monster is called Crumb Monster (Krümelmonster).

This was the only point I also disagreed! And i also share the same sentiment you observed.

But thinking about it, it highly depends on the situation and the way someone phrases it. The example used in the article is exaggerated. Relation creates a sense of shared feelings only if you are trying to approximate the other person's feeling and thoughts and if you disengaged directly after you said "i also stubbed my toe once". Most of the time, people don't stop there and keep on telling THEIR story and how they felt, instead of just being an interjection. This is not the fault of people, but a normal way of most people doing conversation. I guess the author is thinking about these persons.

Unbelievable! I use WebODM for a few projects and was wondering when the team might consider incorporating NeRFs in their porduct. Seeing this done in UE4 and maybe some work i see great potential for construction work, farms or archeological digs in problematic areas for fast and only basic information-gathering needs.

Not an amen. I noticed a lot of people refer to breakbeats in general as "amen". The "correct" term for drum breaks and solos of old funk and soul records is "Breakbeat" as defined by a lot of Hip Hop Artists. A dead and flagged comment in this thread mentioned the "Ultimate Beats & Breaks" records, which are the basis for HipHop from 1988 onwards and of course UK Hardcore/Jungle/DnB.

Yeah, it's one of the Classic DnB/Jungle breaks. Like on this one:

Deep Blue - The Helicopter Tune (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vbnxrccBQQ)

classic Jungle and Drum & Bass Breaks are

Lyn Collins - Think

Bobby Byrd - Hot Pants (I'm Coming)

Incredible Bongo Band - Apache

Blowfly - Sesame Street

James Brown - Soul Pride

James Brown - Funky Drummer

I recommend Tim Cant's "A Beginner's Guide To Jungle Breakbeats" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuaKtIjSY_A]

The track is by Lyn Collins, not James Brown.

But JB produced the track and can even be heard on the track in the section you posted! The "Yeah", the faint "Come on" and the "Ya bad" has his unmistakable voice.

> The so called 'jungle music' is defined by the amen - it is not jungle unless it has it. Period.

This is definitely NOT TRUE! Plenty of jungle has no amens in it: DJ Hype - Roll Da Beats (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNo9NR3F7KA)

DJ Dextrous (Da Kings Of The Jungle) - Time To Move (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhXUEetPY6E)

Tom & Jerry - Maximum Style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVukhJ1acSc)

Dillinja - Tear Down Da Whole Place (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEVGJGR5maI)

THE MOST WELL KNOWN JUNGLE TUNE OF ALL TIME HAS Z E R O AMENS IN IT:

M-Beat - Incredible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL2Bgj-za5k)

It's the Blowfly - Sesame's Treat break.

I think someone didn't get the joke, or took OP too seriously. No offense to you though.

I'm confused by GP's comment. I think there should be a distinction, as people generally think of influence on music artistically, rather than technical. The NeXTCube might have been influential on the technical and academic side, but as you mentioned the Amiga and Atari were responsible for an artistic revolution by progressing and even creating whole genres.

Aphex Twin used Amigas, not NeXTCubes.

Is your lived experience from flu or the cold? I'm asking because a lot of people can't differentiate both and assume the common cold = influenza and conclude that everything is not as bad as medical professionals paint it.
