They could have run the actual orange fruit and I would have voted for that over the orange cry baby.

We need more than 2 parties. fml.

I was still growing and wasn’t aware of how tall I had gotten and jumped over a box in a doorway, I hit my head on the doorframe, woke up on the ground with a busted doorframe.

I went looking at every state I’ve lived in and the one with the most restrictions was Texas, obviously states like New York or California will be more restrictive, but the only real restrictions that I found outside of new england / California, were switchblades or “automatic opening knives”, and carrying in locations like schools and government buildings, which I expected. I used to carry a 8” hunting knife (13” overall) when I did a bunch of outdoor work, now I carry a smaller 3” folding pocketknife (6” overall).

The US has strong knife laws? I carry a knife almost everyday and this is the first I’m hearing of this. The only time I can’t take my knife somewhere is if no weapons at all are allowed there, like government buildings.

Those go on every machine that I use, then you have your more specialized programs depending on industry.

I’ve had European BK it’s still not good, passable maybe, but not good.

It’s no wonder that American’s are fat.

Backblaze, it’s a personal cloud backup solution that just works in the background. I don’t have to manage a backup protocol, I get an offsite backup, and it’s cheaper than trying to let a file sharing service like Dropbox or Google do my backups.

It’s display port vs HDMI, easy to adapt either direction, both have their merits, and downsides. Pointless to argue just use the one you like / have.

Just message me, you’ll get some!

So a lot of people are aware of active noise cancellation that you find in headphones nowadays, that works in large scale as well. The first time that type of technology was used was in the greatful dead’s wall of sound. The problem is it’s expensive to do large scale.

Acoustic propagation. I design large format PA systems and as a result need to know both how to make sound and stop sound at a large scale. It is entirely possible and actually relatively easy to be super precise with where sound goes or doesn’t go. The problem is cost.

Old country music has been replaced by the genre folk, with a lot of crossover with modern day blues and americana.

I’m just going to leave this here

using molten lithium as a rocket fuel

Tuesday’s for me because my optimism for the week was crushed on Monday but I have the rest of the week to go.

That’s the advantage of taking your car to the dealership, the dealership in my area gives you one of their brand new cars from the lot to drive around while you wait for your car to be fixed. It’s a sly trick that eventually works and gets you into a new car.

You know you messed up when you get eastern asian countries working alongside Japan willingly.

Knew a real estate agent who needed photos, took some and they were good, so I kept taking photos.

Real estate photographer. Very predictable and easy to squeeze in, in my spare time. It also pays for all my camera toys.

Well I’m in my 30’s and it hasn’t happened yet.

Definitely, it is extremely rare though, and usually has a good reason for it. Had one guy I worked with who used to be Rihanna’s sound engineer, I asked him why he stopped doing that and started working for a local corporate AV company. His simple response was that it wasn’t worth the stress, and he got to stay home and see his kids.

Dude was easily one of the best sound engineers I’ve ever heard, he could make anything sound way better than it had any right to be, and yet he was the local guy pushing cases, running cable, and basically playing second chair to all the corporate AV guys thinking they were sound engineers, including myself for a while. All because it meant he could see his kids and not be stressed about it.

I ended up making him my go to audio guy anytime I needed someone, and stepped back so I could learn.
