Home self hosted stuff is definitely the only time I usually get to have fun with this stuff. Work can sometimes involve fun problem solving but by the time you cut through all the red tape to get it anywhere the thrill is gone.

Modular synthesizer. Modulating the white noise generator with a slow LFO to create a nice ocean wave background kinda sound.

Those were truly wonderful times. I remember even around 2000 campus network security was minimal to non-existent and we were all just going wild and I learned so much.

If Michael Angelo Batio had 4 arms he’d have to up his game to an Octa-Guitar.

I went to school with a girl who never wore the same outfit ever until like her junior or senior year when she got in trouble for something and got cut off. The word was she said something like “What am I going to do!?!?”

That’s far more fucked to and sick than just having kids wear a uniform. Granted most kids aren’t rich enough to have that situation even happen but still.

No but I sure have dealt with a lot a stupid decisions for years because somebody thought it would and used that as an excuse to be wildly insecure to save time.

My apartment complex has a battery recycling center at least. Best Buy near me had a bunch of bins for various electronics so at least some areas in the US have convenient places for it.

Now do they actually recycle them vs toss them in the dump? No clue lol

1966 Fender Princeton guitar amplifier. Me likey

I posted a quote from Ghostbusters lol.

But yes it isn’t too hard to game the system and get rewarded for minimal work. I had to put a shit ton of hard work in to get to that point but if I felt like it I could do minimal most days.

They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.

My $200 bluetooth earbuds are adequate at best but in no way compare to my Sony wired studio monitors that cost half the price. I paid for wireless for work calls hands free.

They wireless is nice for a quick walk to the grocery store or something outside, but if I am wanting to really listen to music I plug in.

Resistance is futile.

Also didn’t the two big subreddits permanently shut down and move to the fediverse?

One reason why I will keep buying Mazda as they have said they will stick with this idea. Physician controls please I don’t want to have to fuck with a touchscreen to crank the AC or Heat

This. I was the last member of my family on Android and made the fam text chain a mess to the point there was a separate one with everyone but me and I would have to look at it on my wife’s phone.

I finally got an iPhone partly because of this. Also because the mini is just a much better size than anything that was available android wise that I liked.

Mission of Burma

Diiv (Although they just toured with Depeche Mode so they may be more known now)

A Minor Forest

I have a key ring that at its core has remained the same for at least 20 years. Keys have come and gone and some extra rings have as well but the original ring is the same.

Same here. I love having fun making music. Being in a band trying to make money was miserable. I do miss having access to a dedicated practice space and recording studio though.

My brother’s car got vandalized because it was one of the models this stupid video claimed was easy to steal.

Hmm tough call, go to work or fold laundry. I think I shall require 2 robots.

And not only do the laundry, but fold it and put it away as well.
