This is a link post Sitcom 'Laugh Track' Expert of 1980s
A behind the scenes look at a "laugh track" session with audio engineer Carroll Pratt for TV sitcom "Webster" in 1983

This is a normal post Interesting
There's a piece in this BBC Christmas tape where every attempted take of a musical number has the same 'spontaneous' canned round of applause.
/edit
or at least I could have sworn there was, plenty of canned laughter as well

NSFW for nudity(frequent) and swearing(very frequent but well pronounced).

This is a normal post Zappa said “Touring can make you crazy”
But I think not touring, after you have been doing it regularly for 45/50 years, probably has a similar effect.

I just wish the music was either bit better, or a lot worse as at the moment it’s just Not That Good. Fripp can obviously get a decent tone as per that instrumental in the above video, but I guess they want to keep the spontaneity. Toyah really should practice the lyrics a few more times though, sometimes it feels like she’s reading them for the first ever time.

The boobs I can take or leave - it’s the internet; nudity is not difficult to find.

I don't have an issue with his conclusions as he adds the caveat "for now", but I'd have more time for someone saying their bike has poor range if there wasn't a gaping hole in the frame that could have batteries in it. Maybe weight is the limiting factor.
(, Sun 13 Jun 2021, 22:45, , Reply)
This is a normal post Yes
And, as he pointed out in the video, at high speed your power needs go up literally exponentially. Air resistance goes up with the cube of the speed so for a certain bike and rider trebling the speed from 20 to 60mph requires twenty-seven times as much power to push air out of the way (rolling resistance not included). He quotes 40 miles range around town on that battery which isn't massive so to compete with a petrol bike doing 150 motorway miles at 70+ would need a trailer of batteries.
(, Sun 13 Jun 2021, 23:36, , Reply)
This is a normal post I get the maths behind it
I was more wondering why he hadn't used the available space on that specific bike to maximise the range, and was thinking the strength of the frame/suspension etc. might have been the limiting factor.
The technology will get there - the Triumph TE-1 has a target range of 120 miles which I'd certainly start to consider. It also looks rather nice!
(, Mon 14 Jun 2021, 7:52, , Reply)
This is a normal post I think it's that he can remove the battery easily
Makes it easy to ride somewhere and chain up the bike and take the battery away, stop it getting nicked, maybe recharge it.

And, frankly, for the use he proposes for it the one battery is sufficient. It's a good proof-of-concept.
