Back to my acoustic bike for a while.

With boomers entering their twilight years, there is just so much eschatology to choose from.

"Wintery mix" sounds so much better than cold regret falling from the sky.

The New United Airlines Policy That Could Get You Kicked Off a Flight The airline cited the expansion of Starlink as the reason for the new rule.

United requires headphones when playing audio on your portable device. Let's roll this out at the federal level. Let's amend the Constitution.

LIST.GROUP - Redirect

yes. I use list.group because it is consistent with rnbo

LIST.GROUP - Redirect

I prefer list.group as it avoids timing problems associated with thresh. You can use an bang to send the collected output, or use an argument to set how many items you want to collect.

IT tried to hand me a 16" on Friday and I was like, no. You can configure a 16/14 the same and the discount between the base models (around $600) disappears. So they just bought everyone 16s. Argh I bike to work.

Configuring a laptop with RAM and SSD inflicts psychic damage.

Phase B is putting [tool] into the service of an idea you want to express. If you have an idea you want to express, but you lack the skills attained in Phase A, you will be frustrated.

It is entirely ok to exist within Phase A, as long as that is what your goal is. But, rarely does work produced in Phase A have any lasting artistic merit. It is fun, but hollow.

Learning electronic music takes two phases and they both have to occur.

Phase A: You're not making a musical statement, you're just enjoying using [tool]. It is in this phase that personal artistic vocabulary is developed.

You don't need to buy a bunch of synths to make electronic music. Do you have a laptop? That'll do. You don't need to buy a bunch of things. What you need will reveal itself to you iteratively. Trying to anticipate what direction you're going in advance is throwing away money.

The 'single flawed human comes to control a weapon of unimaginable power' is such a common trope. It's like we've learned nothing from Anime.

I did the 'large size' before for similar thrifty reasons and I remember the battery life being AMAZING. Small tax. This 'large' one is definitely larger than that older one.

Using stem separation on the original and superbowl versions would quickly provide a definitive answer, but I don't want to subject myself to his music.
