if a translator is owned by a commercial entity and its parent station is a non for profit. do the translator financial support rules allow for the second owner to allow ads on its translator that the parent cannot run directly itself?
You can tune into any radio station like a normal radio would and listen to music, news, etc. as long as you are in range. Itβs played in your head so obviously only you can hear it.
Journalist Lefteris Danovasilis interviewed Maksim Tsigalko for gazzetta.gr back in 2018 (source in Greek). I've never played FM myself, but I found the story fascinating, so I spent an hour this morning translating the article for others to read.
It's the biggest "fraud" in Football Manager history. The biggest "lie", the biggest mystery, the biggest legend, the biggest revelation. An unknown man who's known in the entire planet. The player everyone bought for a few hundred thousand euros and had a few thousand goals guaranteed.
The world knew him as Maksim Tsigalko, his real name is Maksim Tsygalka or Tsyhalka. The first is the Russian pronunciation (which remains the dominant language in his homeland), the second is the Belarusian one.
This double name is reminiscent of his double life. The real one and the "digital" one. It's confused even himself by now. How things could have turned out and how they eventually did.
Gazzetta.gr travelled all the way to Minsk to find the truth behind the myth of the most famous player in Football Manager history. Meeting him was not the easiest thing in the world. The [then] 35 year old Tsigalko does not want to talk about the things he never lived. At least not through the phone. "I appreciate you coming all this way. I always avoid talking about my life through the phone. I want to look the other in the eyes when I talk about the things I've been and I'm going through. This is important to me".
From his first words you can understand that what's going to follow, isn't a story about a life filled with glory, money or great moments, a life you might have imagined when you took off Ronaldo or Raul and threw in the most prolific scorer in the game.
In Belarus the heat is surprisingly unbearable. He orders a cold, black stout and he's ready to talk about everything. The game that made him famous everywhere in the world apart from his own country, his real life football career, the struggles he's been through and the effort to get back on his feet.
The stories surrounding his achievements on Football Manager are truly infinite. In the best of them Tsigalko has scored 2216 goals in 1522 matches. How then did he find himself making such a name for himself on a game that was starting to gain traction amongst football fans from all over the world?

I like to cook, but I've always struggled with this. That was until I found out it was because I was doing it all wrong.
TLDR; Use a real pan (Cast Iron is usually best), get it real hot first, add oil if needed, don't touch it. In other words: You can cook perfect, easy over, eggs in a cast iron without ever having anything stick.
Why food sticks (and why you don't need non-stick) Metal is porous (it has tiny holes/dimples in the surface). Food sticks when parts of your food get inside those pores, effectively welding it in place in the pan. Non-stick coatings are a cheap (usually terrible, can be bad for you in extreme scenarios, and easily damaged) way to fill these pores and make your skillet surface as smooth as possible.
Now all metal is different, and cast iron has much larger pores than metals such as stainless steel. You'd think that would make it worse, but when you heat metal up it expands. As the pan heats up the pores open wider, allowing oil to fill them, stopping them from grabbing on to your food. So an up-to-temperature cast iron skillet is significantly less "sticky" than cold. Even so, cast iron still doesn't get "smooth enough" on its own. That's why it's so important for cast iron skillets to be seasoned. The "seasoning" is really just you filling in those pores to create the smooth surface we need.
What's the point of oil? Even with heat, and seasoning, your pan still won't be perfectly smooth. We use oil to act as a physical barrier between your food and the pan. This helps stop the food from getting a foothold on the pan. Any physical barrier will do this, but oil is the best when you consider all other factors as well.
Heat comes first This is the first, and biggest, mistake most people make. It's the mistake I made every single time I tried to sear something. If you put oil in a cold pan, then start heating it up, your oil will start smoking away before the pan reaches the searing temperature you need. If you put in oil first you will always have a sub-par sear. Simple as that.
Hot hot hot The goal in searing is to give your food a crust. A beautiful, crispy, flavorful, outside. Brown food tastes good. To get the maillard reaction happening, and to not seriously overcook your food, you need that pan hot. In some cases as hot as it can literally get (such as searing a steak). In most cases I'm using a medium-high setting on my burner.
Note: Never heat cast iron (or any empty pan) over max temp. You will

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Compression can be daunting to beginners: compression is everywhere when producing popular music (all genres, really), and is even present on classical music to a minor extent, but dialing in that compression is really done on a case-by-case basis. It depends on the genre, it depends on the sound you want to achieve, and also the kind of track you're processing (is it a drum? A guitar? A bass guitar? Vocals? Is it a bus or a single track? etc.). This post has the aim to provide some very general pointers to compression in a way that many articles on the matter seem to overlook.
Compression levels
For starters, how much should you compress? Of course it depends, but generally speaking, in the context of compression (so let's say, at 4:1 ratios and below, over which I'd tend to talk about limiting, since 8:1 ratios are quite aggressive already):
0-3dB compression (peak meters): light compression*.* When should you use light compression? When compression isn't all that needed, simply put :D for example on electric guitars, especially on crunch sounds and over, you rarely need lots of compression, if any at all, since the amp or the stompbox is already doing a lot of compression. Buses, generally speaking, benefit from light compression to glue stuff together (true both of the master bus and sub-buses). Or maybe you might use a compressor set lightly at the end of an FX chain that also includes other compressors just to level the track a touch (and letting you use less compression before, for a more natural sound). You'll also often find yourself using longer attack and release times with light compression, as the purpose is just to make things that little bit smoother and make tracks or buses sit better in the mix.
3-7dB compression (peak meters): medium compression. When should you use medium compression? On uneven tracks that need to be made a bit more homogenous and fatter. An uncompressed snare or kick drum might sound a bit clicky and weak in the mix, and they might benefit from squashing those transients and lifting the body a bit. A bass guitar, especially when played with a pick or slapped, might drop in and out of the mix when uncompressed, being too loud and too quiet at the same time (or rather, at different times in their envelope). Vocals in louder mixes might need to be a bit more "in your face" (vocals are sort of a different matter, they usually need a lot of work for modern-sounding productions, whether you like it or

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
