No it isn’t.

Nimrod was a great hunter in the Bible. Bugs was being sarcastic and did the man dirty for generations to come.

Absolute truth. I haven’t run into a single game that doesn’t run on my second-from-top-of-the-line gaming PC I built last year under Linux. I know they exist because I see articles about a developer removing Proton support for odd reasons, but it hasn’t impacted me yet.

MS has largely made their own OS irrelevant by putting the Office Suite in the cloud. If you need Excel but don’t want Copilot throwing all your screengrabs to Redmond a box running Ubuntu or Mint or Bazzite or MacOS (a legit option for some people with niche applications that cater to the Apple crowd). MS is following the same playbook with the Xbox brand. If everything is an Xbox then why would you harness yourself to a crappy MS branded one?

Have you considered the Dreadbox Nymphes? I don’t have one, but it’s on my list because it hits the Juno60/106 target very well while also being more flexible in terms of sound design. BYOKB, but I can see one of them sitting very well next to a digital workhorse like a Blofeld or MS2000R in a setup for when you need that analog feeling.

Lol I put Inattentive Cand Corn.

I put a hard stop on buying synths with keyboards after I got a 61 key controller. Then I found a Grandmother for $600, so now I just look at Eurorack stuff that I can’t afford as I feed LFOs and envelopes into it from my Hydrasynth.

Sell 2 of your synths that have keyboards with more than 39 keys. You don’t use them (be honest, we’ve all fallen victim to our own GAS) and you could use the money and space.

Specifically, sell them to me for a very good deal.

Apple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.

That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.

Gotta love it when you can’t figure out why you’re uncomfortable then you remember you were going to eat an hour ago and pee half an hour ago.

Looks like the old school iPad dock connection.

That shit’s been going on for way longer than South Park has existed.

So now every single Ring camera needs spray paint?

Are they going to try making them good vehicles for a change?

One can not make a post to YTB without being worked up.

Sorry mate, but this is a stupid thing to get worked up about. Are they lying? Duh. Is it a distraction? Also duh.

If you’re a parent, you are the problem. It’s not strangers’ jobs to parent your kids. If you can’t keep them from bothering other people do not take them to places with other people. It’s not socially acceptable for me to kick your kid, so don’t put me in a position where that starts seeming like a good idea.

A few weeks ago my wife and I were getting breakfast at a local bakery. Inside, a dad had decided that it did not matter that his small child was running around, screaming at the top of his lungs. The little gremlin started trying to steal pastries off other people’s tables and dad stiff didn’t do anything until the staff announced loudly that all unattended children would be reported to CPS.

That kid didn’t need a beating, but that dad sure did.
