Last Notes npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens I kind of like the old-school energy of the big RE20 or RCA ribbon mic (plus there are very few things in the whole universe that sound better on some voices). I've got a few Shure ribbons that are decent and much less obtrusive in the frame. They do need a good preamp, though. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Handy bit of audio engineering trivia to support this point: Decent quality lapel (lavalier) mics have a special EQ curve designed into them to cancel out the resonance of the human chest cavity, so they sound best clipped on your front. Handheld mics, OTOH, are made to be held in front of your face. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Dear French left: Thank you for rescuing the country as it stood on the precipice of fascist takeover! Whew! That was close. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Does this factor in the health benefits from not being exposed to pathogens in the workplace? npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Just in case you missed it: Microsoft is pimping its weaponised bullshit generation to oil companies in order to help them find new places to drill. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Willow water is a good, cheap way to stimulate rooting. Just mash a bundle of twigs and let them soak in some water, then use that to keep your cuttings damp. Make a new batch every few days as it gets whiffy. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens I see the Tobacco & Petroleum Union has come out swinging at Hipkins' renewed talk of wealth taxes. They are trotting out the "envy" line yet again. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens We are seeing this in Aotearoa. The loss of 75% of our native forest has interrupted the hydrological cycle and deepened summer dryness. When the rains do come, they're far more intense and they fall on unstable hillsides no longer held in place by intact forest. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens "What Millan fears most are the feedbacks. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens They've changed over the years and it looks like the present-day cans all have boring vegetables on them. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Bait and switch by Waka Kotahi. The replacement for the defunct Manawatū Gorge route was built with public funding, promised from the get-go that it would not be tolled. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens On an entirely tangential note, one of my favourite brands of Mexican salsa (when we lived close to the border) was El Pato. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens I wonder if there were chinampas that long before the city was built. Seems like the ideal place for a duck character. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens I wonder if there were chinampas that long before the city was built. Seems like the ideal place for a duck character. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens We went from economic vandalism to economic terrorism (and these were the exact words I used in an oral submission not too long ago). This govt only knows how to immiserate 90% of the population in order to line the pockets of the 10%. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Nek minnit, a bill to define pi = 3. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Vale @npub1k65…pc0u npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Bernard HIckey asks those getting tax cuts if they're really ok with what's being done to achieve them. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Neoliberalism is why the climate is spinning out of control. It's why we have a global extinction event underway. It's why marginalised people are being driven from their homelands, only to meet with hatred and violence where they land. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens There's some truly brilliant technology being developed to use "waste" biomass, such as sawdust and chip, and turn it to useful energy efficiently and safely. It's next-gen steam power, proven under tough conditions, and it's Aotearoa made. But they need capital to ramp up development and production to get this installed in mills. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens So far this morning I've had three separate conversations with colleagues about timber mills wanting to solve their energy woes. The list of opportunities is getting longer by the day. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens It's somewhere in the fuzzy region between malignant cult and mass formation psychosis. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Still getting my head around the torpedo attack on Whaikaha. Folding the bulk of the ministry's services provision into MSD is not only a massive setback for the community, but also a negative human rights move. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens A refresher for those following along at home: Karen Chhour is the far-right authoritarian extremist ideologue in charge of enacting forced indoctrination camps for troubled youth. She also gets upset when challenged about her radical policies and really wishes those mean MPs from TPM would stop making her cry. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens The coalition of cruelty is also carefully avoiding any accounting for all the ticking time bombs it has laid at the feet of the next generation, most notable the $20-30B of emissions abatement liabilities under our Paris Agreement commitments, coming due in just a few years. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Of course Loser Luxo and his minions are taking credit. But let's be honest about what they're patting themselves on the back for: npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens This is sublime. Thank you. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens Neoliberalism has ruined this country and the younger generations know it. Since successive govts do bugger all about the problem, everyone with the means to leave is doing just that. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens TIL that a growth sector in the crypto world is hiring hackers to crack wallets, then hiring hitmen to punish them if they fail to deliver the goods. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens We lost a capable prime minister here in NZ thanks to vicious misogyny stoked by far right conspiracy peddlers and overseas trolls. It is another face of fascism and we will stop it dead in its tracks. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens I noticed something during my submission this morning that seemed a bit off at the time, and now I realise why. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens PEASANTS! npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens To be fair, the latter becomes the former given time. Even better if you add wood chips. npub1zqszsqys7lh4rqy9snz8slxz2gyw67zap0f0g9acm25rlz2rprus7xcrve Phil Stevens So close and yet sofa.
