Push It to the Limit (Corbin Bleu song) Puns

I just finished recording my first album, and given I’m a broke college student, the amount of gear that I have is very very limited in the context of a full length album (in my opinion at least) In total, the gear I used for this record was a MIM Telecaster, a Seagull Acoustic, a Vox Ac4, and digitechs obscura and polara. Misc gear that I used includes an Alesis HR-16 for drums and a shure sm57.

The problem solving aspect of the recording process was by far the most challenging part of the endeavor, but the most rewarding. There’s a quote by Keith Richards that’s along the lines of “give me any guitar, and I can eventually make it sound how I want it to” and I’d like to think I really understand that now. There are so many things you can do to drastically change the sound of your guitar to the point where you’d think it was an entirely different guitar, from chicken picken, to strumming over the 12th fret, and so much more, that I can’t honestly say I feel a NEED to buy anything more than what I already have (but I definitely feel a desire...)

While I can’t say that other people will share my feelings, I at least feel that what I ended up with is professional sounding, and for having done that with the tools I have at my hands is very surprising, with credit being to me or to the advancement and availability of good sounding equipment I’m not quite sure. YouTube and the music based subreddits here are some of the best free resources you can find, and hopefully my work can show at least a few people that you don’t need a full studio and 20 guitars to pull of something worthwhile.

It is time for users and miners to understand the role that mining plays in the protocol. When transactions fill the mempool, miners make a decision as to what transactions they will put into the next block that they mine. This decision is an independent one made by the individual miners. Miners have the freedom to not include any transaction they want in the next block - they have no obligation to you as a user making transactions. This is an uncomfortable fact many don't understand, but understanding it is essential to understanding the security model of Bitcoin.

The fact of the matter is that miners are simply economically incentivized to include your transaction in the next block, assuming there is a fee associated with the transaction. If I am a miner, I would rather have an extra penny than not, so I will include every transaction I can into my block. I, however, have the right to not include whatever transactions I want. I then lose out on profit to my competitors (other miners).

When I mine a block, I get to choose the size of the block. I am competing with other miners to determine the most efficient use of my resources in crafting a block with X transactions in Y bytes. This, in essence, is very similar to the process of Price Discovery in a free market of supply and demand. When a blocksize limit is imposed by the protocol, we have interrupted and centrally planned the previously free market of mining to impose restrictions on the number/size of transactions miners can place in the next block.

"But God_Emperor_of_Dune, right now someone is flooding the network with 1 sat/byte transactions. We must put a limit to ensure that no one can flood the network."

It costs over $30,000 daily to continue the behavior we have been seeing since yesterday. We have no idea who or what is behind the sudden increase in transactions on the network. What if it is a new product that is testing the ability to use SMS to send 1 sat/byte transactions? What if it is an individual stress testing the network (and willing to pay for it)? What if it is an "attacker"? Who cares? Are we really going to stifle the network because of some perceived attack vector that carries with it a huge cost? If our aim is to prevent this kind of attack, shouldn't we make the attack as expensive as possible by removing the blocksize limit entirely?

What we are already seeing are individual mining pools who chose to only mine 2MB blocks, which didn't clear the mempool. *That i

I’m curious about games that push the hardware for the Xbox 360. Even games that will put it at risk of RRODing.

My Elite gets really loud when playing Def Jam Icon. So many load times!

My thought process is that instead of wasting fuel landing on Phobos, you slow its velocity enough to get ripped apart by Mars, then you take in the dust and rocks from the rings that would form. With that method, you needn't orbit, land, take off, then land, you just orbit Mars then land.
