You live with your parents? What's with all the threads about making $300,000 a year or whatever.

I do not. I live in a one bedroom apartment 2000 miles from my parents. Just visiting. I do have plans to hit 300k...but Im not close to that yet. Like 50-60% of the way there.

Everybody sour like a lemon tree
I'm just smiling down upon my enemies
Do this shit, I love it on the daily
You say you hate your job, but you'll never leave, never leave
But that ain't gonna be me, that ain't gonna be me
My brother called me up said he saw me on TV
I said, "it wasn't easy, but right now I'm living breezy"
Build this engine from the ground up
Now my hands they ain't so greasy, feel me?

Only another 5 years until my engine at least runs, 10 until its at full force.

my parents about Biden

I havent been around republicans for a while, but basically every statement the internet says about trump youll hear about Biden also.

Exactly the same. I wouldnt even know who is being talked about without names.

Kind of annoyed that my coworkers all invest heavily in Tesla and worship Elon.

But if youre gambling with stock picking then itll probably be lost anyway...maybe. Idk. People who make a lot of money quickly thought investments typically are people who make bad decisions with money...catch 22 sorta.

Well, afaik their parents were poor...

Theres quite a bit of upwards mobility opportunities in America if youre willing to look for them. But interesting.

Rich stay rich.

Thought it was a sequel and wasnt going to play since I only played part way through the first one. Stoked!

They take what already exists and do it better. Uniqueness isnt there thing.

Or they could make her black or LGBT, add some more diversity.

Link to the mask.

My mom was doing homemade masks. They were like all the home made masks you see or are given. I asked her to make it single instead of double layer, its great now. So probably any how to guide on mask making. Im debating on trying to make some myself and see if I can sell, but the mask market is probably difficult to break into even with a mask people would like more.

My only problem wearing a mask is because I hate my lips sweating and no matter what it fogs up my glasses. Ill still wear one though. I hope the pretty one Im getting in the mail next month is as comfy as the ones I use now.

LinkPizza posted...

Yeah. I have to take mine off when I wear the mask. Which isnt good since I need them to see. Especially since at my job, I work staring at a computer most of the day these days...

Single layer mask isnt giving me any issues with glasses fog like a normal one would.

helIy posted...

its not about them not being able to breathe, its about them just not wanting to wear one because the whole coronavirus is a hoax thing that was perpetuated for a few months

Thats also an issue.

I think these would be a good compromise to the people who dont want to wear one. I always felt hot and like breathing was Uncomfortable depending on how the mask sat on my face. With this its not bad at all.

I tested it out with blowing and also did the aerosol test, its not quite as good as a standard mask but its so comfortable I dont even mind wearing it outside or when sitting at a restaurant.

You get 80% of the results for 20% of the discomfort...since people dont seem to wear masks properly or even at all due to not being able to breathe. I know itll cause more disease spread than wearing a nicer mask properly (so would going out outside of work and actually needing a mask), but people arent doing that and itll be a much better situation than things currently are at.

its just single layer instead of double layer...still not as good with double and filtration but most people are wearing double without filtration.

Yeah, the story about the kid is weird.

issues with bringing*

I have about $3000 cash I want to bring on a plane to deposit at a different bank than what I have locally. Anyone have issues with it? Looking online it should be safe.

I was super into Sword of Truth as a teen and it was basically Ayn Rand high fantasy + intense sexual violence.

Did it end well? I stopped on book 2 but the confessor trilogy or whatever had cool covers.

I always get a perverse sort of pleasure out of stories retold in the style of a completely different story/genre. Like the "Star Wars retold as Shakespeare" books, or the Shakespeare/Lovecraft crossover. Or Green Eggs and Hamlet.

And now I'm suddenly realizing how many of those types of stories revolve around Shakespeare.

I really like this with music.

Theres Lovecraft told like Dr. Seuss also.

Even if you dont love HP and just like the world, its very good.

It adapts the story of Harry Potter by attempting to explain wizardry through the scientific method.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_of_Rationality

http://www.hpmor.com/

The Harry character is described by Vice as "a miniature Ravenclaw Spock with a taste for deductive reasoning" and the book as reading "like the originals after a lifetime spent playing Nintendo's Brain Training".

A review in the Hindustan Times described HPMOR as a "thinking person's story about magic and heroism", and the conflict between good and evil as being portrayed as a battle between knowledge and ignorance.

Im new to digital this year, and basically sold and rebought my collection (at a discount). All the PSN games are still available if you bought them previously, but it doesnt allow discovery for some older games. Almost all are there, but theres a few missing (Telltales, digimon, ultimate alliance). But I hope physical sticks around, I can see them being around PS6/7.

I own a physical copy so i dun curr

Can I borrow it?

They still have hackers memory there.

According to a reddit user Company said the game is outdated and we focus our efforts on still supported games.

Have a plane ride coming up. Need a game.

The first six were at least. I quite liked the last three.

If she had said yes, would you have brought a 3DS with you?

No I didnt realize that was a thing

I didn't realize there were different PSVR systems, but mine has the headphone jack on the headset. What do you do if you want to use Move controllers?

I am.

What do you respect?

Did you know the PS4 controller has a lightbar on it?

yes

Ill check out your stream.

Mead posted...

gotta agree

Yeah

Tech bros will be tech bros.

I guess Im not into streaming at all. I have to now survey friends who game but never watch streams and see if they knew. If you just plug it in I think it defaults to chat audio only unless you change it in settings, so I wonder how common the knowledge actually is.

e over using you TV or whatever using headphones?

For years Ive thought that was only for chat audio.

Nice feature!

Theyre both trash outlets. NYT is abhorrent. Pick your poison I guess.

Which others would you recommend looking into?

Its from google, so whatever they source. Theres a label in the left balloon, but I added a text label because its hard to see. Yeah theres definitely spikes during the week.

More testing should happen during the week so that make sense (though Id expect closer to a square) , but deaths Id expect to be smoother.

These would be digital subs. Were well stocked on toilet paper, got one of those big packs that last months.

At least we seem to be better and keeping people alive, or maybe its just healthier people now getting it.

Cant decide on which to get.

I miss TerrisUS so much it hurts sometimes.

Anyone remember what year did he close his account? It feels like it was over half a decade ago.

I loved terris.

Did he have cancer? I know insane did, thought terris too.

If you have a pre existing condition like that you probably shouldnt be going out.

Yes, fear is now a virtue. Its ridiculous.

Also, we should have safe practices. Theres a pandemic going on.

Are you sure you're not piquing the hell out of the signal? Do you have an audio interface for hooking the guitar up to the PC? Without one, the PC probably isn't going to be able to handle it well.

Im using an iRig and an iPad with a Traveller guitar, their newest EG. It sounded like crap through my POD HD500 also and sounds meh through my THR5 But not awful. Im going on vacation and may bring it to try through my peavey bandit at my parents since you can bypass the amp and plug straight into the cabinet section. Theres a headphone jack on the guitar and it sounds great through that at least.

It really could just be piquing, thinking about it. Know a solution that could work with this guitar? Maybe a volume pedal, or am I thinking about this wrong?

buy a t00b amp and pedalz

fuck that modeling shit

Modeling has gotten really good recently...and even a 1 watt tube is too loud for an apartment. I have a THR5 I like when I want to use a real amp.

zebatov posted...

I have a Roland Cube 80x and a bunch of Ibanez guitars, but none of those issues. Try getting a Cube 80x, or an Ibanez RG or Prestige.

Any time Ive had Boss pedals hooked-up, Ive plugged the guitar into them, and then them into the amp.

I can use my normal guitar and get a setup that sounds great.

SpeeDLeemon posted...

Wow, back-to-back topics of yours no one posted in? I am shocked.

Im not. It happens sometimes.

If the screen plays up, replace it right away.

iPad Pros (especially the twelve inch models) are plagued with screen freeze issues that Apple has vehemently denied existing.
Everyone who I've met irl with an iPad Pro 12 inch model also suffers from these issues, as do I.

The apple pencil however works even on segments of the screen that are playing up (and the screen can be briefly fixed by turning the screen off/on quickly), so if you only use the pencil and/or trackpad that should negate these issues.

Nice to know. This is actually my second pro ( I have a 9.7 I use also, I like the size), and havent had any issues.

So I dont have to buy and lug around a non built in one.

I have a guitar with a built in pre amp that Ive loved lately.

I want to plug this into Bias FX 2, or really any modeling software.

it sounds like shit because Im going from the built into pre amp out the quarter inch to the modeling software

do you think screwing around with an EQ or something as the first pedal in a chain could help fix this? Do you have any suggestions other than using my normal guitar without a built in pre amp?
