  • Arch. I had some tinkering with other distros in the past but wanted to configure pretty much everything. Running it with Cinnamon. I love pacman and AUR and have been able to not break it so far after a year of being installed which is a new record for me 😂

  • Transformers don’t deal much with resistance though…reluctance I was referring to magnetic reluctance which is the magnetic analog…more applicable to the transformer in this case. Thanks for the interesting exchange 🙃

  • This makes me glad I chose to replace my leatherman with a Swiss Army knife lol. I have the orange juice s2 and the only issue is a chip in the small screwdriver from trying to turn a different screwhead type. I keep it in my work bag but wanted something for personal use and decided on the deluxe tinker and am happy with it. The leatherman tools I looked at just didn’t vibe with me.

  • I have been very happy with my Canon RP. Mirrorless is a lot more common now and the range of lenses offered by Canon at a variety of focal lengths and price points is substantial. I use an adapter so I can use EOS EF mount lenses which helps a lot with the cost as you can buy older lenses if you want. Also you would have less of a learning curve with the logic behind the menus since you are familiar already with a Canon camera.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • I just want to see the day where as a pedestrian I don’t feel like my retinas are fried every time a car passes at night or has their brights on during the day (ugh). I know it is wishful thinking because apparently politicians don’t give a shit about pedestrians (or cyclists).

  • I was thinking this is actually thinner than sock yarn. Looks very similar to the lacy doilies that my grandmothers made of something more like 0 or 1. The connecting bits are actually braided or single crochet…so from a distance it looks like thicker yarn than it is. Either way…I love this and kinda want one now.

  • Oh I know. It is just a ridiculous oversight. Compatibility could have easily been hidden for the page and it would have made more sense lol. This is just poor website implementation. Harmless but also makes them look dumb and pretentious 🤣

  • I appreciate the randomness and the fact that the polishing cloth is only backwards compatible to the iPhone 5 and iPad 4th gen. No mention of any other devices prior to like 2012 which is kinda funny honestly. It is a polishing cloth. I could use it to dust the display of my Philco Predicta and it would do just fine 😂 (not that I have one…just providing a ridiculous example).

  • Two things for me… pomodoro method and the mantra “Don’t put it down. Put it away.” Pomodoro got me through college and made hyperfocusing on assignments seem like more of a choice. The mantra? It is part of my inner dialogue all the time lol. I tend to put things where ever and wouldn’t you know it? In a day my home is a mess. So once I heard the suggestion I took it to heart and it does actually really help me remember WHY to put things away. Because the “oh I will grab it and put it away later” is a lie.

    Traded my MIM tele for my dream strat…

    1998 US with fender lace golds in neck and middle…Seymour Duncan of some sort in the bridge. Plays and sounds a dream! Color is Plum Purple Metallic. Here it is next to my Jazzmaster.

    New synth…JD-XI

    Found a great deal at a used gear shop…actually a new unit open box. Digging the workflow and vibe. Already recorded a few tracks with it!

    Yamaha Pacifica - The Underrated Superstrat

    I haven’t touched my Tele or Les Paul since I got this. So versatile and sexy to boot!

    New Gear Day

    Upgraded from a Squier. Lucked out with a used AC4 combo too. It is just a MIM but perfect for me. Plays well, very sweet Tele tone, and hopefully inspires me to get past the basic skills I have at the moment on guitar.

    Looks like an interesting idea. I like the daisy chain option. Analog, portable, and $500. Not bad. Curious what you all think?

    Stellar edition of Microfreak

    Picked up this little guy last week and have already cleared the presets and started making my own. Any tips or fun stories about Microfreaks?

    I’ve used this on the Switch and it is pretty neat. It would be pretty awesome if the VR implementation is good enough!

    itchick2014 [Ohio] @midwest.social

    Wonder how this idea will be long term? Losing come cables would be awfully convenient for those who perform or have smaller spaces especially.

    If you could only keep one synthesizer…

    Which one? For the sake of theoretical questions …let’s assume you could have any synth…not just what you already own.

    Sounds like they are goners. Hope they didn’t have your favorite plug-in or at least you have the installer still!

    Korg Intros opsix SEe, opsix SE Platinum FM Synthesizers

    Oh shiny new FM synths! Who has an original opsix? I hear good things.

    Fascinating how this developed! I hadn't even thought about the history of it.

    Another Moog knock off! Behringer is bringing in the heat.

    Now this is fascinating! Wonder who will use this one a hit album?

    Finally hung the guitars above the Wavestate.

    So much more floor space! Also thinking about a Jaspers stand…anyone have opinions on them?

    Anukari Synthesizer: Sound through the laws of physics

    This looks intriguing. Wonder what sort of graphics card will be needed to run this when it hits production?

    More acquisitions. Curious if they will integrate the different systems.

    Curious if this is good or bad. What do you think?
