Maybe if I could find a recipe for a simple corn bread without a trilogy worth of lore about the writer’s grandmother, they wouldn’t be in such a predicament. In terms of AI strengths, informational efficiency is paramount. I can think of fewer things I can search for with more worthless gunk tacked to it than a recipe.

That did it! Thank you so much!

Ill definitely look into this.

I’m installing Mint for the first time at this very moment. So far, it’s easier than I anticipated. Fuck You Microsoft.

Edit: bro, firstly, what the fuck and where did all this performance come from?!?! I vastly underestimated how many resources windows was hogging. I downloaded Steam (easy-peasy) and then Project Zomboid just as a test. This game runs like butter now. I was having major problems with it before. To the point I basically stopped playing. I know its just one example but I haven’t had my machine run this well in several years, I feel. Also, got Spotify running. Super easy. I need to figure out how to get my VPN set up (ProtonVPN) but so far, I’m kind of in shock. I can’t wait to actually dig in and see what I can do with this new setup.

It’s true. Im 40 now but i never had kids and chased my dreams from age 14. I dont tell any stories irl very much anymore because some people think I’m showing out or making shit up. Examples:

• Had coffee with Pierce Broznan… at his house in Malibu. Wild story.
• Avengers Endgame spoiler crew sound guy. Wild story.
• I was at Derek Rose’s house, doing an interview when he got traded from the Bulls the first time. Wild story. And so much other random shit like that.

So, back in 2009, I lived in a tour bus touring with big acts like Linkin Park, Pearl Jam and guys like that. Well, we did a little stint with Madonna and we went from LA, straight to NYC, down to Miami and straight back to LA in I think about a week. It was one of the most brutal on road experiences I’ve ever had to endure for 4 shows. I was on a really sweet fully decked out tour bus too, so it was the best case scenario. It gave me a new appreciation for how motherfucking vast my country is. However, I would NOT recommend the experience.

I did get to meet Spike Lee and Chris Cornell in Miami tho and even had birthday cake with Justin Timberlake while in NYC. It was his birthday and he was doing a music thing inside our bus. He sat right next to me at the front of the bus and we talked about Pink Floyd. Super nice guy. It was a pretty wild week.

So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.

The only thing it proves is that I’ll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

I misread your post at first. I edit this to simply “Weed and video games, fuck yeah!”

I remember asking my dad why he didn’t watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn’t like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.

Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.

If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.

let’s get you back inside, grandpa. Rub some liniment on those bunions and put you on one of your favorite spaghetti westerns.

I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.

Just couple of geriatrics now.

Fear Inoculum is over 6 years old already. That still feels brand new to me. Especially since we had to wait over 13 years between 10,000 Days and their “New” Fear Inoculum.

Google wasn’t Google back then. Same name, different devil.

My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that’s entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It’s so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.

it’s not me. I have been carrying around that resentment towards them for many years now. Front line get the spear, or so it’s said.

Vibes only. High margin of error when it comes to actual numbers but it still feels that way to me. I was only informed of the actual stats in this very thread. Can’t mark this as the first time I’m been way off the mark. Ive kinda made a habit of it which is fine with enough beer.

112k AkChuUhLee. (I had to look it back up) I’ve been a career Tool fan but that’s as far as I’ve ever gotten. I’m where I want to be tho. And this way, I won’t need to make a fake crying apology video.
