GPU’s. I remember before the mining boom and the AI boom, three to four hundred bucks would get you a decent card. Managed to score a 9070xt for close to retail price recently and that will have to last me at least 3 more years, if not forever.

I did not see that coming.

I sincerely doubt that. Almost every plastic surgery that’s not a result of a disfiguring accident is gender affirming care. Viagra is gender affirming care. From hair plugs to Corvette is gender affirming care.
I SO wish that I had a valid argument against what you’re saying. But I don’t.

That makes 2 of us. I’ve got a bottle of Laphroaig waiting for when it happens.

M Vave FM1. $61 on AliExpress, and it’s a battery powered pocket dx7, fully compatible with all dx7 patches via sysex. Midi input via USB or trs, so be sure you get a type a midi to trs cable. First one I had was non standard and didn’t work, causing all kinds of grief until I busted out a multimeter and the cable pin out to see what’s what. For the price, it is a fantastic little toy and I’ve already learned so much about sound design from it.

Cheap drum machine (korg volca drum), cheap synthesizer, plugged into mixer + no talent + no formal music theory knowledge == unlimited hours of enjoyment. Someday, I might even make something I like.

I thought that the T, Q, I and A updates were rolled in over the following years, with later updates all bundled under “+”.

I have a tall stack of kangol caps waiting in the closet for this.
So true. If only we could do some “clever corporate accounting” (aka thermodynamic tax fraud) with the temps between us.
Come live in the hellscape of Texas. You cannot go outside from late may until mid October. It was 103F+ from mid July until 3 days ago. I paid almost $700 for my electric bill last month. The house is stale and hasn’t had fresh air in months. I have a huge list of projects that I very much want to make progress on, but ten minutes outside takes me multiple hours to recover from. The temperature in the parking lot in front of the grocery store was above 120F a few days ago.
Seasonal depression occurs in the cursed summer here. As soon as my family members pass on, I will never return to this god forsaken, scorched wasteland.
This is me with Torque. I know I have a blown head gasket (yay wrx owner problems), but I don’t care about cylinder bank two rich conditions because it’s one hundred and ten plus fucking degrees here, which makes one of my injectors become an overachiever.

Patchlunch. He made a live loop in ableton with beat segments from flying lotus (I think) that was just flawlessly executed. I rewatch it every so often and hope he continued to hone his craft.

What a hilariously stupid take. The cops have earned every ounce of hate that they get, and then some. How’s that boot taste, buddy?

I trust the tech way more than the cops, and I do NOT trust the tech.

You have described the difference between ignorant and willfully ignorant.
Yeah, at the time I had four times my current income.
