Gas station pumps that are super slow
1.2 gallons............................. 1.25 ................... 1.3..................
You get bored so you go clean the window. When that's finished...
7.4.................... 7.5.......................
If that happens more than once I flag the gas station in my mind and make a point of not going there anymore.

TIL Rice-A-Roni is marketed as "the San Francisco treat" but actually has its roots in Middle East cuisine. It was developed by an Armenian immigrant working at a Bay Area pasta company, and is based on a Levantine pilaf dish.

Do any VST plugins exist that do something similar to the old Optimod?
What is out there that does a comparable job to the analog Optimod units from the old days of radio? The idea is to get a sound comparable to FM studio (vocals only). I did a search of this subreddit for Optimod but there's not very much there.
So far I've set up a VST audio chain that includes a 100 Hz shelf, then Kotelnikov and COMPER FET/OPTO compression at 3:1 with several gentle passes, then a limiter at the end. It's good but I know it can be improved.
I have read that phase rotation was used in Optimod but I'm not really clear on which VSTs are effective or appropriate.

TIL the fastest ocean liner ever built was the SS United States, which operated from 1952 to 1969. Its first voyage from New York City to the UK took three days, averaging 41 mph (66 km/h), and the record has not been broken since.
