What's happening with Anton's Craft Kitchen?

I saw the building listed on Facebook Marketplace. I tried to add a screenshot, but the automod flagged it as a possible violation.

22 dollar profit or thereabouts

This is a recycled rubber car jack stand pad that is $6.99 at Walmart. An influencer video or two in the drum community has popularized these for use as an inexpensive and easily accessible drum practice pad.

Back Of The Mike (1938, Jam Handy)

I just remembered this and looked it back up on YouTube, and it's been re-uploaded in 4K: an old Jam Handy short subject, Back Of The Mike. I understand from a previous uploading that these were the players at WXYZ in Detroit, at studios of the same.

It's very interesting, in that many if not most of us are familiar with the old Foley techniques, yet each sound or sound image can be accomplished a few different ways. I've seen different methods to get the same effect, for example.

Anyway: Who was the guy doing Junior's voice from 4:43 to about 4:48? Was he a notable actor on other productions? That's simply incredible that he did a convincing "boy's voice" that doesn't sound strained in the least, or cutesy or whatever. I've included a screenshot if he's recognizable.

Interesting short subject on how old time radio was done in one case. Who's the actor doing "Junior"'s voice??

Well that's putting it directly

Whether it was an erroneously posted reply or if the bot said "Great insight! Want to make it its own post?", I hesitate to guess.

Reported for the bad

Braum's, for those outside an immediate area of the southern plains and southwest United States, is a conglomerated dairy bar, fast food restaurant, and corner store, not totally unlike a few such places across the country but which appears to be unique in its own right.

As far as I'm aware, Ellis merely lamented in another dedicated thread the lack of older, experienced employees they once had in abundance, versus the relatively recent, generally standard practice of hiring younger, inexperienced workers over the past twenty years or so, leading to a glut of they and which leads to more than occasional quality control issues and wrong orders, which most people seem to not care about if going by their sheer popularity, almost in a sort of Stockholm Syndrome way to the outside observer. In fact, as depicted here, some will vehemently defend the place.

Alleged door to door salesman—what's he doin'?

The consensus seems to be that he was looking for a key, with some saying that he was trying to elicit a reaction with his sweeping reach-over, a couple suggesting that he was selling pest control and planting vermin (???), and with one asserting he was selling security systems and had the intent to shame the occupant with any found keys upon any discovery.

Any ideas?

Tipping troubles at local upstart French restaurant

If they were simply paid a normal wage, maybe these shenanigans wouldn't have a venue.

TIL competitive crepitation, "farting contests", began in rural Oklahoma c.1870, held among bored surveyors passing the time (not to mention, gas) after a long day of measuring. This is the first known "farting post".

The resultant rush led to little time for such affairs henceforth, and they found their popularity in eastern Canada, where such a competition was recorded for consumption and subsequent posterity by Sidney Brown and Jules Lipton of the CBC.

Is it rip-off, or is it repo??

Do repo guys wear masks?

Lots of folks are suggesting that, rather than a thief, it's probably a repo man hiding his identity.

Help please. How many Equals is, er, 'equal' to the usual amount of liquid sugar in a large iced coffee?

I like to get a large iced coffee every now and then. When I ask for Equal (or Splenda if that's all they have), they ask me how many I'd like. I always respond, "Oh, whatever the equivalent is." This is either met with success or they're flummoxed as to how many to put in, and they ask further. What's the amount, anyone know? Thanks.

What do you Steely Dan's darkest songs are?

I know we love how dark and sarcastic the lyrics can be to Dan songs.

But my question is, what do you think there darkest songs are?

Do you prefer various proteins at different temperatures depending on the cut of the protein, or do you like one temperature across the board?

For example, if I'm having a cut of protein that is more near the rib, I might have it at a lesser temperature so as to experience the inate qualities of that particular protein. Whereas if it's protein of a sirloin sort, I'm amenable to at least medium rare, if not medium or even slightly below well if it's a thinner slice of protein.

Analysis of popular music to determine who played on a recording—is it possible or even already happening?

My question is predicated on the basis that there are many instances of popular tunes or otherwise recorded media that many remember fondly or otherwise have an interest in, while at the same time there is an appreciation for the musicians that have played on these recordings. For example, many studio musicians are held in a regard that is often near or at the level of the recording itself. It is also the case that, while lengthy lists of credits for these musicians are usually available, there are nevertheless many pieces of music that slip through the cracks, as it were, with the entire provenance of the recording being unknown.

Is it possible, or even the case, that analysis could be used in this particular instance? For example: if it is a question that particular drummer played on a recording, but there is no listing of it to prove one way or the other—perhaps the session log is missing or unreachable—could, say, a drummer reasonably known to have always used a consistent set of equipment (e.g., cymbals that they would always use no matter what) be determined to have been present on a certain recording? I choose cymbals in this case as they are generally the instrument used that has the least amount of variables, as drums can be and are constantly tuned to various pitches, and are usually altered via physical or electronic means that would almost certainly cloud analysis.

To summarize: can artificial intelligence be used, or is it presently used beyond my knowledge, to, say, compare the recording of a cymbal from a drums-only, isolated recording where the musician in this case is known to be participating, and then match the characteristics of that cymbal to other tunes where it is present and then determine within a reasonable doubt that this cymbal was also used, and therefore most likely the participation of this musician, especially when other parameters are taken into account such as playing style, the style of music, where it was recorded, and such like?

Synthesizer version of Nuttin' For Christmas—who did it?

Kind of an off-season request—It's probably from the 1970s, this version of the old Barry Gordon tune, covered many times since, and this one sounds like (from what I know today) probably a Moog or Minimoog as the base, and perhaps the entire content of the tune. I only really remember the instrumental cut that we used to sing along with in elementary school, but I'm sure a vocal version of the track exists. Any ideas?
