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?

Mission of Burma

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

Spot

A Minor Forest

I guess as long as they are making money they don’t care.

Ahahahahah oh god you’re killing me…

The Chuck Taylor All Stars you wore to school are cool, and the douche who made fun of you for not having Nike Airs is a loser. In general, care less about what other people think and be yourself. And finally, join the band or orchestra instead of play football and learn a skill you can take with you for the rest of your life instead of getting your bell wrung for nothing.

Part of this is also just the fact that simpler = broader appeal to a lot of companies which translates to more money.

I think Worms is the ultimate version of this type of game, but I celebrate the entire genre and love them all.

I started a job a while back where Perl was heavily used and I hadn’t had much exposure to it. I spent some time just doing the same thing in Perl and Python and I really enjoyed working with Perl for the reasons you listed. I was just somehow very easy to use and be productive.

I haven’t touched it since I left and Perl is completely unused and almost alien where I am now.

This is mine for sure. Never gets old.

I really enjoy my Eurorack system, but 3.5mm just is not nearly as satisfying and easy to plug and unplug.
