Crazy that the world’s history was almost changed by some deranged idiot with bad aim. Makes you wonder if he was a time traveler trying to save the ww3 timeline and got brain damaged by the time travel machine or smt. Idk would make a good movie.
tbh despite the idiotic intentions the name does make more sense than “the gulf of mexico”
They’re a bit worse overall. The tongued ones are easier to manufacture and tune but somehow that also means the quality is just worse in general. It also has a bit of this metalic tone which is harder to play nicely but you can hand cover the holes to manipulate the sound as an advanced technique. Also tongued ones are better played with sticks rather than hands so the instrument just feels different overall and smacking the handpan with your hands (thus the name) is much more fun.
That being said, tongued handpands are still cool and can be very flexible though for first handpan I’d go with the traditional one.

Honestly, not going to continue with this as clearly we’re not going to find any value in this comment thread so have a good day and I hope you feel better :)
it never goes out of tune either so you can just store it somewhere and keep it for special ocassions with no hassle!
Whatever makes you feel better about your flavor of brain wash my friend. At the end of the day I’d rather have flawed democracy and capitalism than whatever else is on the table. At least there’s a path forward here.
You can buy a good handpan on Temu for like 100$. Incredibly easy to learn and very satisfying to play!
Look for Kurd tuning and around 45cm size and avoid tongue ones (one with holes) and you’ll have a blast, especially if you have an edible or some acid.
not an american, I grew up in the Soviet empire, don’t care about your dumb walls of propaganda. Try again.
Nope, grew up in Soviet occupied eastern europe. Fuck that, I’ll take flawed capitalism over whatever torture and misery was that thanks. You are free to disagree more politely tho.
Survivors bias. People in Russia or China don’t appear to complain about their systems because… they can’t.
Better yet do it from your phone on mobile network in a clear browser instance - almost impossible to match the fingerprint to your desktop.
The system is not that advanced. Just clear your browser data, restart your router and use a new email address.
The inability to function under duress would be one
That Europe is not ready for many future challenges.
Nah dude you said it’s the same ethical issue when it’s clearly not. Machine deciding whether who lives or dies vs what exactly? What’s the other issue that is the same “ethical issue” here with image generating AI? Which part is the same or even remotely similar?
Maybe you mean that both technologies are problematic? But that’s really not all that useful because ALL technology is problematic by the very nature of it being a force of change.
Clearly you don’t even know what AI means and just parrot whatever meme you hear. What ethical issues? You’re comparing copyright theft to what? Using machine learning to decide whether insurance claim should be accepted? These aren’t even the same realm of computing and as close as a calculator is to Candy Crush.
This is such a stretch. AI used to deny claims and video animation AI are so far apart that you might as well be complaining that both of these two things are using the same electrons 🙄
It’s incredible how successfully the AI topic has been hijacked by copyright propaganda.
Copyright is bad, period. Barking at AI for using copyrighted shit for training just makes it less accessible to train for anyone BUT the mega rich.
Let’s say we do ban copyright data for training. Then only Google, Microsoft and Apple can releastically source data for training. That and countries that don’t respect this like China and Iran right? Ok, so now they hired farms of people to produce training material and release their models that NOBODY can compete with. Everything is literally worse in every possible way now and AI is fully owned by corporate overlords.
I genuinely don’t understand the though process of these people. We want information to be free and accessible to everyone, no?
You’ll definitely have fun with either one!
