As the title goes, what is your usual request to the hairdresser? Do you have a specific style you ask for? Or do you keep a set of images so that you can show them what you want?

I meant this sound from this Youtube short clip from Chewkz . I am not going to rewatch the whole LOTR and cut the clip and post it here...

I also dont know what the actual sound is called. Luckily this short shows that sound. There are many other videos but i just dont remember which.

Anyway, you can hear right at the end where the guy screams because he doesnt know how to take his Tesla down.

In LOTR movies, you hear this sound A LOT. Especially in big battle, a random Orc gets killed and screams like this. It happens in all 3 movies lol, so I wonder if this is a Peter Jackson thing ...

I noticed almost everybody here agrees that all AI is bad, and anything produced by AI is slop. and refuse to use any software made in part or in whole with AI or help of AI? Please mention your background and usage of AI with your answer.

I also posted it here.

Looking for foods to try and share a bit of my own culture. My family is cantonese viet and I grew up eating in a lot of traditional banquet hall restaurants. Usually these are dim sum menu for lunch and traditional shared foods for dinner. Most people have tried the common ones like siu mai (pork wrapper dumpling) and haw gow (shrimp rice dumpling) but my favorites are the uncommon ones like ngau zaap (beef offal) and baak wan fung zaau (pickled chicken feet).

Ngau zaap is basically braised brown sauce using off cuts, usually stomach and whatnot, with chinese radish. Its very savory, kinda like if you made an asian gravy.

Baak wan fung zaau is just chicken feet pickled in white vinegar. If you had pickled radish it's essentially the same pickling and the chicken feet is gelatinous and a bit crunchy. You can also get them sometimes boneless since eating around the bones is kinda a pain. I really like pickled foods so this is one of my faves

My wife keeps singing music from Into the Woods. It's a fine musical, and I'm a fan of it, but she's getting the songs such in my head.

I need ammunition to fight back with.

What's a good song to play that I can't get stuck in her head?

Feel free to be loose with your definitions. "Not usually considered a drug" is fine to qualify as "non-drug", for instance. I'm not really thinking so much of "foods", though, but maybe "food ingredients" and substances found in food ingredients are fine, especially if they're quasi-drug-like or if you'd get a lot of the same benefits/enjoyment from it consuming it straight rather than in food.

Also ITT, tell other users why their substances actually are drugs actually.

Mine:

• Chamomile - good for my mood and gives me vivid dreams.
• Capsaicin - I and Wilbur Scoville are well acquainted.
• Cacao - I don't really do cacao any more because I've quit caffeine, but I include it here because I still miss sucking on unsweetend baker's chocolate daily.

• Most outrageous / unbelievable lies
• Most offensive / dangerous lies
• Most "adult meant it as genuine advice but it's laughably out of touch" lies
• Lies you wish you still believed
• Lies you took as truth and didn't question it until you were way too old

Should motorbikes and cars share lanes? How to deal with left turns (the dangerous ones) in junctions? Should motorbikes and bikes have to do two-step left turn?

There's an idea that we should categorize vehicles as human-poweres or not. Is this a good idea? How about paddle-assist-only ebikes?

When there's not enough space for lanes, which type of vehicle get compromised?

Today I was looking for music by Jean Sibelius (just learned about him on a trip to finland a few months ago).

I go to his Spotify page (i know, i know....) and there are literally 50 new releases this year... most of them i assume are the musical equivalent of shovelware.... lame compilations like, "classical music for focusing", "50 best classical songs for summer", "epic classics!"... album covers with clearly AI slop.....

even adding the name of a reputable orchestra doesnt do much...

How do you sort through the trash? What reputable labels should i search along with the composer name?

I pretty much filter out everything before after 2000 just to be sure...

i'm looking to switch to qobuz... not sure if they have better quality control...

(Yes, i still buy physical CDs... my question is about online discovery)

I live on the border of Missouri and Kansas. While most of Missouri is Midwestern, the southern part is definitely southern. And while Kansas is Midwestern the western part of the state is well western. So what state to you is the most Midwestern?

Did you all noticed from recently that youtube is giving only lov quality opcion (360p) in mozilla firefox, despite youtuber uploaded that video in high quality (1080p)..?

I think this is another move where they are using monopoly to ruin firefox and leave only chrome as only webbrowser..

First time i thought hm this is strange why is this video in so poor quality and i saw that only 360p opcion iz awailable. This youtuber for sure wouldnt upload video in this bad quality so i copied the link and pasted it in another browser chrome and it showed in 1080p and good quality and everything was normal. So i think its must be on purpose to ruin firefox.

Up to you whether you want to limit your answer to software that is possible/realistic

Are bots scrapping lemmy the same way they are scrapping reddit? Or is this place safer from scrapping?

For me definitely The world ends with you. It completely shaped my modern taste in funk, pop, rap and hip hop. That and Jet set radio.

FFX back in the PS2 day's was when I discovered I really love heavy metal.

@asklemmy@lemmy.world @asklemmy@lemmy.ml what are the likely impacts of datacenters on water and on energy supply ? Can someone please enlighten me on this ?

#datacenter #water #energy #environment

1. Why does everyone drive 10-15 miles above the speed limit?

2. Why don't we raise the speed limit if that's how fast everyone wants to go?

3. Why is traffic enforcement given to very expensive and ineffective police instead of cheaper and more automated traffic cameras?

4. Why do we refuse to ever use ANY traffic calming measures? Yes, than you flashing digital sign for telling me I'm going 10 miles above the limit on this incredibly wide and straight and flat road with high curbs and perfect visibility.

It's a serious confusion I have about how society is supposed to operate because it seems like a complete and total breakdown of logic and sense.

And, yes, I know there's some thing people did long ago to set the speed limit at some percentile of what people were already traveling at, but that's obviously a stupid way to do it and we did it anyway. So why?

I'll go first.

PS: I'm having a hard time categorizing these as real bottle episodes since they don't feel cheap or "fillery" at all, but they are at least spatially and plot wise confined.

I’ve actually just started getting involved in the scene the "right" way. I’ve been practicing MIPS assembly and C coding for a while now, and I was really looking forward to finally understanding how my favorite games work under the hood. But now I’m genuinely concerned I’ve shown up too late.

Between the influx of AI slop and seeing central hubs like decomp.dev shut down, the sentiment on Lemmy makes it sound like the community aspect of decomp is completely dead. Then I go over to Reddit's /r/decomps and see people celebrating AI because it’s speeding up port releases.

I actually want to write the code. I want to understand the architecture, learn how these games function, and help build cool mods that are only possible when you have clean, human-readable source code. But I'm worried the whole space is getting flooded by people who just know how to prompt an LLM to spit out a barely functional port.

What is actually going to happen to the decomp scene? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for people who care about the craftsmanship, or are we watching a truly amazing community face an extinction event?

Do you think any/all individual medical information should be completely private? Should public servants need to publicly disclose health issue?
