I love it when I notice similarities in languages I have no fluency in.

Ik ben duidelijk niet op de hoogte van de laatste mode in Nederlandse memen.
Wat in de neuk is een cuckstoel? Vraag het voor een vriend.
Yeah, I don't get it either, everybody seems to think that this change makes it impossible to hide posts from blocked users. But this just gets rid of the weird quirk where if you called JK Rowling a terfy ghoul and she blocked you, you had to log out to hate-watch her shitty tweets.
Joke's on them, I never had an account in the first place.
Even those tend to end up more like giant volcanoes of fire, than actual percussive explosions as seen in some of the videos. Making those deliberately catch fire is also harder than you'd think. These pagers went off pretty much all simultaneously. I think the overall consensus is that they were very likely rigged with actual explosives.
Ah, thanks, I didn't realize it wasn't a text post.
Turns out the version I have only has Japanese and Russian audio. Both are silent during this scene.
What scene exactly?
Isn't part of that just due to the fact that it's a war economy?
The USSYa?
A conductor performs a number of essential functions for an orchestra:
- Offering a pulse. You may think this is trivial if your experience with music is through rock bands and smaller ensembles, where the musicians can just listen to eachother. But keep in mind that a large orchestra takes up a lot of space, to the point where the speed of sound becomes a major barrier. A symphony orchestra easily spans an area of more than 30 meters, meaning people on the left hear what people on the right play 0.1s late. The 'beat' shown by the conductor arrives with the speed of light, keeping the musicians more together.
- Setting the tempo. Orchestral music tends to have more deliberate tempo changes and fermatas (points where a note is held longer than the implied beat would require).
- Controlling the dynamics and timbre that people play with. A lot of that tends to get ironed down during rehearsals, and sometimes it will be explicitly mentioned in the score, but it can be really helpful for players to reminded that, hey, perform this bit light and playful, and over here, be loud and solid. Especially in longer pieces.
- Cueing players when they have to start playing. In orchestral music, some instrument groups may have large swaths of time where they don't have to play anything (especially percussionists).
Generally the conductor is also responsible for the interpretation of the music. Orchestral scores don't tend to be black&white, and there are a lot of decisions to be made in how to approach a piece. The conductor is the one who makes those decisions.
I'm assuming you own these machines and are forced to pick them open because you lost the key
That definitely would be my assumption. Otherwise it would be stealing from the land-lord, hoo boy, we wouldn't want that would we?
Gottem!
