Incredibly impressed with that sear considering the middle didn’t get above room temperature

Here I am on my zenphone 10 wishing it was a little smaller

The initial investment can be steep, but if you stick with buying second hand modules and look for deals, it’s easier. Plus the spending only really goes down over time, at a certain point you realize you have all the modules you need, and you find yourself only buying a module or 2 a year.

Also modular stuff holds its value really well. If you buy second hand, you can basically sell a piece of gear for what you paid for it, so if you get something you don’t love, you don’t lose much.

Having said that, cardinal and vcv rack is great, vcv rack is where I started and I used that for a few years before taking the plunge

My modular synthesizer.

I love it and I’ve poured far to much money into it for something that doesn’t come close to the power of making music in a DAW. But I do love it, and it can do some cool stuff that I’ve not been able to reproduce in a DAW - like random triggers and probability. It’s also nice to get away from my computer.

If you think an AI can do those things almost as good as a human, you should find more capable humans to hang out with

The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

Madly jealous that you have grocery stores open this late. Where I am they close at 9pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends

This is fascinating because I got a BRI of 1.9 and it’s saying I’m in the healthy zone. So I don’t really know what to believe here

Our just play games on Linux. Wine/proton is shockingly good. I’ve never had an issue

Reaper works great on mint. Plus yabridge to use your windows plugins.

A John Digweed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes

• No lyrics
• Lasts for hours
• Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
• No starting/stopping between songs.

I’ve done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix

Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they’re good people and treat you with love and respect.

Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn’t make sense to support them.

There is no single answer to your question other than “it depends”

Around $400 a month in winter, $100 a month in summer. Australia has the most expensive power in the world

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

I think having a single app that does that would be very inefficient compared to having an app like the one you’re probably using, that can be configured to do exactly what you want.

My never-purchase-anything-from-amazon lifestyle is vindicated on a daily basis at this point

Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

This way you get to know the person’s tastes in art and you can judge if you’re compatible. If they don’t like the art you like it’s probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it’s not gonna work.

I think a person’s taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they’re not really into art or music then they’re not a good match

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

Sasha and Digweed, that must have been a hell of a show

Depends on what you classify as an ad.

Ive started watching the series Long Way Round, which is essentially an ad for BMW.

I click on steam sale ads for video games.

When local stores have sales, they have ads for those sales on their websites which I click on from time to time - recently I was shopping for a soundbar and a local store was having a sale on soundbars so I clicked that ad on their website.

When ads aren’t too intrusive, and they’re relevant, and they’re not peddling garbage I don’t have too much of a problem with them
