Specifically, the jury found that their plea of not guilty was based on the fact that they were preventing a greater harm by their actions to be right

Maybe they should try macrodosing

China, Britain agree to develop long-term, consistent comprehensive strategic partnership in Xi-Starmer meeting in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works -1 points 6 days ago

Coz pandering to an increasingly unstable dictator is always a good plan. The guy’s just eliminated the entirety of the military’s top brass after a coup attempt, so now it’s literally just him and one young staffer in command of the whole Chinese military. Perfect timing Keith.

I nearly scrolled past these, thinking they were just more photos from the storm on the north Cornish coast over the last few days, they’re phenomenal

Very different to the austere monastic surroundings of western religion

Awesome, that made me chuckle

Dabbla is one of the best rappers, period

I'm severely underweight and it's starting to get to me in c/goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I started gaining muscle when I changed how much protein I was eating. Basically, I doubled the size of the portion of chicken or whatever that I have for lunch, and cut most carbs out of that meal, so I basically have one meal with lots of protein and a salad or veg, and that really helped. There are calculators online to tell you how much protein someone of your weight needs, either at a maintenance level, or to put on muscle, and it’s way more than most people expect, but it’s not hard to achieve once you know that. I hope you find a path to feeling healthy, it sucks permanently feeling malnourished.

Well reminded, I have a brain like a sieve. It’s called Blind Drunk Reads / / Boris Johnson’s Seventy Two Virgins, and there’s a video version in a few parts on YouTube

I’ve used them as work knives for years, best bang for buck of almost any tool I own

I’ll try to find it

Mac software suggestions (sh.itjust.works)
 

So, I’ve been trying to find a specific bit of Mac software for a while, and keep coming up blank (any site suggestions?). It’s a pretty common program, and I can find no end of the most recent windows versions, but if there is any for Mac they’re about 10 generations behind, and hardly seeded. I’ve trawled the megathread, to no avail. Any suggestions on where to look?

Barbarian Hermit - The Battle of Kompromat (2025) (open.spotify.com)
 

As is often the case with me, I don’t know what you’d really call this, but there are definite big fat sludgy doomy characteristics in there. This album is one of my favourites recently, and one of the ones I listen to in its entirety.

Gain staging question (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I have a weird thing going on with my pedal board. First, my signal chain - Guitar into Bogner Harlow (light compression, always on) -> 4 channel switcher -> TC Mimiq (splits signal)

SW Ch 1 - TC Nether sub octaver SW Ch 2 - DOD Carcosa fuzz SW Ch 3 -Digitech Bad Monkey SW Ch 4 - Joyo Ultimate Drive (OCD clone)

Mimiq L out -> modded Jet City 22w head -> passive attenuator -> old Laney 2x12” cab (dark as all hell, sounds awesome)

Mimiq R out -> reverb/delay/trem -> Laney Cub 10” 15w input (hemp cone, different valves, again sounds awesome, cleans up well)

I’ve spent a while balancing everything, getting the gains to all play nicely, except… the Ultimate Drive for some reason is really quiet through the Jet City. The Carcosa fuzz sounds brutal through both amps, but really drives the Jet City hard. I switch to the UD, and the volume of the Laney stays pretty high, but the Jet City shuts right up. I’ve fiddled every way I can think of, to no avail. The UD is a loud pedal, with huge amounts of volume and gain on tap, but it’s just not doing much for the JC amp. Any ideas?

Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition (www.nhm.ac.uk)
 

I’m very much looking forward to going to this again, past years have been jaw-dropping

Beast - Stormbringer (open.spotify.com)
 

Fuck knows if this counts as thrash, heavy metal, or death, but whatever it is, it absolutely rocks.

Truth be told, the vocals are a bit heavier than I generally lean towards, but the riffs are top notch. Anyone have any suggestions that sound like this, but with a bit more singing thrown in?

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

Gangs often get chased across the high plains by a posse, no?

Site for workshop/technical manuals? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

Recommend me a simple hub (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?
