Was going to the gym for a while back in like 2015 (still do, but I used to too) and was feeling so much better than usual.

I asked my roommate who was one of my best friends at the time if he'd be interested in coming too as it would probably be really fun and motivating if we went together. Dead serious he hit me with "nah, I don't wanna get too buff."

🀨 WAT

I think I offended him a bit with my incredulous response. I honestly couldn't even believe what I heard. Dude was a string bean and would have needed a hard year at the gym to even get remotely "buff". I was truly dumbfounded.

We don't need to weed out the vulnerable, we need to weed out the people that would exploit them.

I learned it as "PEBKAC". Problem exists between keyboard and chair. PICNIC is nice too though.

Or maybe just well reasoned morality?

I guess it depends on what communities you're participating in. Lemmy is definitely left wing but I'd never describe it as remotely similar to the Truth social cesspool.

 

Killer track by a killer band. Had a lot of fun jamming to this one tonight.

I use the cheapest dishwasher soap I can find and ever since I followed Alec's recommendation to run the hot water tap until it flows hot before turning on the dishwasher I've had perfectly clean dishes every single time.

I find the first one aged better than the rest. I still laughed out loud after watching it recently. The later movies, not so much.

Minimum wage in the US is abysmal.

It's called a Thorn and Sxan likes to use them instead of "th".

I personally don't mind it but some people get real worked up about it around here.

There's no way in hell the plane was doing 40kph. That looks closer to 100mph.

I won't ever be doing 70 fucking miles per hour in a residential zone so if anything bad happens it will indeed be an accident and its much less likely to be lethal.

What ever happened to hoping for equal treatment under the law for everyone? You can't hold a high standard against others and expect a lower standard for yourself. That mindset describes one of the worst aspects of our society at the moment.

If I ever killed an entire family by crashing at 70mph in a residential zone, 20 years in jail wouldn't be adequate punishment in my eyes. I'd be offing myself out of shame and guilt as soon as possible. Fuck that. How could anyone ever live with the guilt? The level of negligence is so fucking high that its almost incomprehensible.

 

Dude just wrote an entire plugin himself that models the IIC+ based on the schematic. Comparison between the Mark V and the plugin at 13:00. Incredible work.

This is where I'm at after two days of progress on this incredible track. I had a truly flawless playthrough on my second try this evening but failed to hit record in Reaper so this take comes about ~20 takes after that absolutely heartbreaking mistake.

This is honestly the only AB track I can get through at the moment since all their songs are typically incredibly fast and difficult. My picking hand is just not able to keep up with that stuff yet.

Big shoutout to the band for making their tabs available for purchase. It's been an adventure learning this stuff and it has seriously leveled up my playing in the process. Check out this link to their merch site for tabs and other stuff: https://massacremerch.com/collections/artificial-brain

The tone I'm using is a custom patch in my AxeFX II using the FAS Modern III model - a tweaked version of the classic 5150 - and a DiMarzio Blaze in the bridge position.

So we have a pear tree in our back yard that decided this was the year it was going to successfully bear fruit.

Its been extremely dry and we've been away a lot so I haven't cut the grass in about 8 weeks. I didn't even notice the tree had ripe fruit on it until yesterday. Stoked to check it out I walked over to pick some and noticed there's about ten full grown pears rotting on the ground below the tree that are just absolutely infested with wasps.

The tree is near our fence with the neighbors so I gotta deal with this fast so they don't get overwhelmed by wasps.

Does anyone know of a safe way to approach this? I broke my ribs and fucked up my back on a dirt bike last weekend so I can't exactly do anything that requires quick reactions or running away.

Any ideas would be super helpful πŸ™

[EDIT] The solution was to wait until nightfall for them to return to their nest. I was able to pick up all the fruit and dispose of it with ease with maybe 5 wasps hanging around, seemingly in a stupor due to low light and cold air, instead of what looked like a few hundred during the day.

Hell yeah! The boys are back.

 

Hey everyone,

Not sure I've seen this particular technique before.

Here's a tutorial on how you can use REAPER's stock gate plugin to generate MIDI that you can send to an EQ to modulate frequency bands to eliminate bleed in your drum tracks. This is super powerful on toms.

Inspired by the FabFilter Pro-MB bleed reduction tricks.

This is an all instruments/vocals scratch-made cover of the track that got me into Black Metal. A truly iconic masterpiece of atmosphere. I always wanted to do a cover of this track. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) I was able to record, mix, and master this entirely on a Linux system (Nobara) running Reaper with stock Reaper plugins, many FOSS plugins, and a couple choice paid plugins; namely GGD Invasion and Sketch Cassette II. Everything else was free or open source by choice.
