Look, I said I was sorry! What do you want from me!?!

No they aren’t!

Nobody, except you, tried to pretend I didn’t know my grandmother was a whole person with an entire life before I came along. I thought we were just out here wildly jumping to conclusions and insulting each other based on imagined bullshit because someone hurt our feelings by trying to be helpful. If that’s not what we’re doing please let me know and we can shift gears.

I made no judgement. I read your rant and you seemed to miss the point. I assumed it was an innocent miss so I was trying to help. I don’t care if you spank it to your mom’s dirty pictures, it don’t make me no nevermind. My hangups are wide and deep, but do not include you beating the shit out of your genitals to everyone in your family.

The issue isn’t that she’s being sexual. It’s that she was reading about an exciting part of her grandmother’s erotic journal.

I want to speak to this a bit because I enjoy a lot of flawed things, SNW included. I also don’t spend time complaining about entertainment I don’t like because if I don’t like it I just don’t talk about it at all. I used to spend that energy but it got old.

Side story: A friend of mine is a huge Wheel of Time fan. He has reread the books dozens of times. He started a book club where we worked at the time just to have someone to discuss them with (which i joined). This was in the days leading up to the final 3 coming out, so quite a while ago. It’s flawed. 90% of the plot could have been fixed by saying “then they actually talked to each other”. Women characters weren’t generally treated with care. Hell, dudes weren’t either in a lot of cases. When Brandon Sanderson took over the character voices changed. And I have bitched about all the issues with the books. But only because I really enjoyed them.

So when I come out and complain about yet another Spock romance, how the women aren’t being treated right, reversing the polarity of the jammy dodger flow (oh, that’s Doctor Who), Trelane vs Q, or whatever else it’s because I genuinely like Trek. I don’t talk about DS9 or the later seasons of Discovery because they’re just not my cup of tea. I’m going to let the people who like them have their own conversation without my negative opinion tainting the conversation.

In Futurama, Zapp Brannigan was slapped with 3 paternity suits when their holo-shed malfunctioned.

A tinker tailor soldier spy?

I didn’t even know these sorts of mini racks existed. now I’m going to have to get one for all my half sized preamps if they’ll fit. That would solve like half the problems with my studio room and may help bring back some of my spark for making music.

I have no recs. Just want to say I’m so excited to see this. I can probably build an audio patch panel.

My buddy likes to say when he’s medicated his train of thought is like grand central station. When he’s unmedicated it’s the same, but all the trains are running full speed, no one is driving them, they’re crashing into each other and still going, there’s a fight on one of the platforms where someone is trying to throw someone else on the tracks, all the food at the restaurants is burning, and there’s a small army of guys with signs warning things like “The End is Near”.

You’d never know it by looking at him.

No, no, this time Star Trek will be woke. I can tell by the trailer. It’s never been woke before.

My buddy still has one of those in his garage.

My detailed explanation at my old job is that the dev team was full of idiots who hardcoded ipv4 addresses into their fucking code. Seriously. When we migrated from data center to cloud they had to go patch everything. The CTO wouldn’t do shit about it and the director was just there riding things out until retirement.

I do audio mixing and having another scroll wheel is very nice up to a certain point. Per track volume, master volume, send volume, panning, scrubbing, jogging and fine jogging, track height, nudge…

I’d have to go look but I have something like 12 rotational devices programmed (it’s a macro pad with a bunch of layers and 3 wheels). Some of them I don’t use very often. Some get used every time I sit down. Because of them and way too many hours planning and setting my macros I rarely touch my mouse or keyboard anymore. It’s either done at the mixer or on the macropad.

ETA: I just looked again. The way it works would be incredibly cool for jogging the play head a single tick at a time. I already have a solution for that, but if I didn’t I would totally give this a try.

You didn’t hear it from me, though.

Woobaca the Cookie.

But many years before it’s set. Checkmate!

Actually, that is a fun fact. I have no idea if I’ll ever use it but I feel happier knowing it.

Music project 6 (final) (actual final) (for real this time) (demo).wav

Says you. I call it a great way to kickstart Tuesday.

I thought Junior just meant they only had 3 or 4 pair of programming socks.
