I have boxes for that.

I’m a hair older than him.

I hurt pretty often. I get tired more easily. I have hangovers now. If I jump out of the bed of a pickup my knees make noises. I could go on for days about it.

And it’s great. I don’t worry about what people think and I have adventures. I do what I want outside of work. And I have stories and hobbies and old friends.

I have a memory foam Texas King. It only remembers the Alamo.

I’ll second this. I white knuckled my way through life for years. It sucked. Now I kind of get to choose when I don’t need the help. When I want to do some chaotic shit.

If I’m working or working on an important personal project I’m medicated. But I want to explore 50 things and try new riffs on guitar or just go wherever the day takes me? I can do a couple of days unmedicated. And it’s fun! And I have no responsibilities I’m dodging so who cares if the laundry sits on my chair for two extra days? Then it’s back to being focused and calming that trainwreck in my brain.

Like today. I had nothing going on. So I’m out here just freely flowing through life and not giving a shit. Monday I’ll need to get back on it.

That’s pretty fucked up. I always thought of “Teamwork makes the dream work” as something two people working together might say to each other once they finished a task more easily than they could have alone. A boss saying that to an employee is definitely saying “we (management) have a dream that you should turn into a reality for us”.

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.

I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.

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

AFAIK it’s the volume that has associated hearing risks. Mid high frequencies cause damage faster ( I can’t remember the exact range but I do remember drum kits generally sit in that range. Maybe 4k-8k?

Anyone listening at normal volumes shouldn’t have a problem no matter what. They’re also nerds. I also cannot hear a thing they say.

This comment was a distraction from the Epstein files.

Hey, that’s fair! Not everything speaks to everyone. World would be terribly boring if it did.

With the exception of the words “somewhat overrated”, I agree with this 100%. I have probably ~1000 hours in bg3 and just shy of 100 in expedition 33.

I wish I could play Expedition 33 for the first time again. It’s amazing. And it is very much a work of art.

With BG3 I can play it for the first time again by making different choices, adding mods, and choosing different classes. It’s a very fun video game with a lot of choices.

I’d highly recommend both. If someone is searching to fill between 40 and 100 hours (I like side quests, ok?) then Expedition 33 is absolutely amazing. If someone were looking to spend a couple of years before they have the money for another game then I can absolutely recommend BG3.

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.

To me a love note is so much better than trying to recapture the magic of the original. I still have the original and can go watch it right now. It’s one of the few things I have on DVD.

Society has changed in a lot of ways since the 80s so the commentary should change. The fact that the trailers make it look like it’s adding healthcare to the mix of (and possibly more prominently than) critiques of corruption and pollution makes me excited for this.

It is exhausting. I’ve been in a relationship where my partner had no one but me. I don’t consider myself super outgoing but I have plenty of friends that I enjoy spending time with. I like playing music on the weekends. I like going to do things, sometimes last minute. I got fat and depressed because she just wanted to sit at home and for me to sit home with her.

It soured me on relationships for a bit. The next one was the opposite. She wanted to be out every night and didn’t understand I had to work. She never ever wanted to just hang at the house. It was also exhausting.

I’m open to a relationship if the person has similar patterns or doesn’t want me next to them 24/7. I can handle if they’re an independent person, but currently everything feels like either far too much or far too little so I’ve been doing my own thing for a while. I’ve got someone that I’m casual with. It’s perfect for now.

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.

One eight hundred, five five one, eight nine hundred. Diesel Driving Academy!

Jokes on her. I have forgotten all the good information I had back when I held a clearance and I’m incredibly boring.

Nope. It’s you and me, buddy. They learned from a fancy talker and a drunk. That’s why they just make shit up.
