5SF: Sheet Ghost

BSR says...

The sheet slipped its corner under the crack in the door, inching through with a mind of its own. She froze staring at it, her leg half out the window. Max stopped screaming. They just watched as the fabric kept pooling inside, about to take human shape again.

Calmly, Max turned to her and spoke deeper than he ever had before, somehow knowing it was the end. As the sheet rose behind him, he intoned to her: “Why couldn’t you save me, Mom?”

Liked, but solemnly intoning "and hardly no cavitation" spoils the overarching impression of competence.

What's Going On?

This story, believe it or not, is the very familiar fable of Little Red Riding Hood. This curious version was written in 1940 by a professor of French named H. L. Chace, who wanted to show his students that intonation - that is, the melody of a language - is an integral part of its meaning. The words here are all common English words, but not the ones you'd expect to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

minuephysics - Why it's Impossible to Tune a Piano

Zawash says...

You can easily tune a piano in just temperement (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation), but for one key only - it would sound rubbish in all other keys (some more than others), and thus you wouldn't be able to change keys during the song. The advent of equal temperement meant that you can change the key as you play, which is a major advantage.

Tuning a piano in equal temperement is to tune each string "absolutely", each being slightly off. If you want a just intonation in all keys absolutely in many different keys at once, you'd have to change the tuning or the strings every time you change the key during the song.

The problem is not a lack of technology, the problem is rather that it is a mathematical impossibility.

draak13 said:

More like, why piano tuning methods need to be brought into the modern level of technology. Slap a spectrum analyzer on it, and tune each string absolutely.

The Down-Tuning Experiment

SquidCap says...

C or B, that's the lowest you can go with 22/24 fret guitar.. After that you need to start extending neck to get intonation right and you lose more attack the lower you go. Not to mention that B is ~60Hz, pretty much everything below that don't form decent chords specially with heavy distortion. I have drop B tuning (B-F#-B-E-A-C#) on same looking sunburst Fender strato '80 and i've already run out of room fix intonation (thank goodness for my Rockinger Tremolo bridge circa '81 and it's flexibility..)

Look! Up In the Sky! - We're Everywhere,You're Fucked UK!

chingalera says...

Wasn't saying any of this above panty-knotters, merely an intonation of things to come already in place,innocently served to the masses to remind us all that we're watching you,no where to run or hide from total real-time surveillance.

Also, a serious waste of technology for the sake of advertisement, misappropriation of funds with a view to instilling in the poopulation the reality of technology as a means of identification and eye-in-the-sky,one very goddamn light-post for your....safety. Bullshit.

You could use a $30,000 pair of bi-noc-u-lars that will tell you what type of plane you're focusing on with real-time heads-up of tail numbers ,points of origin and destination,etc....You can't buy one a gadget shop though now can ya??

No chaos, it's a serious problem that money is wasted on advertising when it could be used to oust assholes from power though....

Dad Pulls Water Balloon Trampoline Prank on Kids

bareboards2 says...

Kids can love to be teased....

One of my favorite memories is being at a potluck where I didn't know many people. There was a little girl, maybe 4 years old, running around in a big circle throughout the house, who kept running near me as I lounged on a bean bag chair. As she ran past, I would try to grab her. (I was a 30 year old woman, not a man, by the way.) She would shriek and run away from me.

Every time she came by, her shrieks got to be more and more terrified, it seemed to me. That the fun was going out of it. So I thought -- you'd better back off, this isn't fun anymore, you don't know this kid.

So she circles back again, but this time I don't go for her. She stops a few feet away from me. Her eyes are HUGE as she stares at me. I'm getting seriously worried that I have scarred this unknown kid for life. She takes a tiny step forward. I do nothing. She takes another step forward. I do nothing.

She takes one more step forward, her eyes locked on mine with complete focus. In a deep unnatural voice, thrumming with energy, drawn out in anticipation, she intones -- "Scaaaaare me."

That happened 30 years ago and it still tickles the holy heck out of me.

Gibson guitars now tune themselves robotically

overdude jokingly says...

Because there is truly nothing to be gained by actually learning how to properly tune a guitar yourself.... No side benefits like, oh I don't know, ear training, relative pitch, proper intonation, or even the ability to recognize that you happen to own a shitty guitar that never stays in tune (how could you when it's always staying in tune).

That's right folks... You saw and heard it first with the oldest instrument in the world, the voice. Now you can have that same lazy approach applied toward your favorite stringed instrument. Introducing Auto-Tune... for your guitar. Now you'll never hear - OR PLAY - music the same way ever again!!!

Candidate Obama vs President Obama on Government Surveillanc

dystopianfuturetoday says...

@choggie

We are great at throwing tomatoes from the mezzanine, but what would we do if we found ourselves on stage when the lights come up. Who knows? Who cares? Let's throw more tomatoes! ....and I say this as one who has thrown many a tomato at Bush, Hillary, McCain and Mitt Romney.

If the way we do national security is a problem, then it's systemic, because the NSA pretty much done nothing else but collect intelligence 24-7 for the last 60 years.. They've used the system as it was intended to be used, yes, but they've also abused the system.

I'm sure there will be much caterwauling in 2016 about invasion of privacy, but once the dust settles, the crown will still weigh heavy with the burden of national security, and President Hillary, or Ryan, or Rubio, or Paul will find themselves backsliding into old way out of sheer necessity.

Same as it ever was.

If there is a problem with the way we do national security, we aren't going to fix it by calling people cunts and dramatically intoning high school level literary allusions. If we are going to fix it, it will require thought, discussion and hard choices.

Let the rest of them throw tomatoes while you and I fix this fucking system. What do you say, old sport?

President Choggie, how would you restructure the NSA in such a way that it can remain effective at it's job whilst minimizing potential for abuse?

Mitt Romney's Vietnam

>> ^shuac:

And just what was Barack Obama doing during 1966-1970?
Note that I've tagged this comment with the sarcasm tag, because Obama was 5 years old in 1966, making the above question kind of ridiculous. However, had I not opted to write this extra comment pointing out the sarcasm, I'm quite sure the tag would have gone unnoticed and someone here would have undoubtedly come to Obama's defense in a frothy, picayune fashion. How do I know this? Because it's happened many times before: the sarcasm tag is too subtle.

See, to me the whole point of sarcasm is that the subtext isn't obvious, or at least isn't obvious to everybody. If you'd made that post without explanation or "intonation" I still would have got it. Its like an inside joke. You have to risk excluding people to make others feel included in the joke.


Although, it did just dawn on me that you might be using the sarcasm tag and explanation ironically. Thats really some next level meta-sarcasm right there.

Is Doctor Who a Religion? | Idea Channel | PBS

oritteropo says...

I reject Clifford Geertz's definition of Religion. I would argue that the fact that you can use this definition to argue that Dr. Who is a religion, even though the majority of fans would not, counts against it.

Also, I have heard Who fans intone wibbly wobbly timey winey... their research was incomplete

Romney debates himself

volumptuous jokingly says...

Most people got his intonations completely wrong.

He wasn't saying "God, please damn America". He was saying "god DAMN, America! You's the rootinest, tootinest most awesome place evah!"

So really, you agree with him. And therefor should vote for Obama.
>> ^lantern53:

Evoking Jeremiah Wright is not a scare tactic. It is a legitimate question to be answered for 2008 or 2012.
Of course, after Obama threw him under the bus, all those questions went away. No man whose pastor and spiritual mentor preached 'God damn America' should ever inhabit the White House.
If you disagree, then you don't really see how America is the greatest country in the world, and you should vote for someone who feels the same way...Obama.
