Sports clubs and hobby clubs for sure. In Australia we have clubs called Men's* Sheds that are for things like woodworking, but also a place to talk about mental health - things like loneliness. (*I don't think they're all so exclusively Men's sheds these days).

I play disc golf and that sometime feels like a church haha. Trying tk convince people it's an awesome sport amd get them to try it feels like trying to convert someone ๐Ÿ˜‚

Definitely have to do your own disturbing moaning back at the dog to assert your dominance. Shouldn't be too hard given the activity ๐Ÿ˜†

Happy thank-fuck-that-week's-over-day-time-hour day... ๐Ÿป

Here's a new choon. Last single before album goes out in 2 weeks (still gotta finish it lol ๐Ÿ˜…). This track has main-character-energy and a self indulgent guitar solo. Good summer bop. Enjoy! https://on.soundcloud.com/QmO18X2t0URB1ulcZp

As someone who designs little mechanical systems from time to time. Those clips and latches seem super satisfying. Would be fun and challenging to design and make those.

That fret system is very cool and did it seem like they'll be selling (licensing?) it so other guitar companies/luthiers can build it into their guitars?

I dunno, but driving thru the insanely rich neighbourhoods definitely depresses me out.

Be Kind Rewind is a quirky movie where they end up making these Mockbusters. Don't recommend if you don't like Jack Black. Do recommend if you like Mos Def.

That's definitely one of the more unique methods of finding new music haha

Not answering your question exactly, but finding community (non-commercial) radio shows in your local area that you like is a good way to find new music. Find a few shows/presenters that play music/genres you like and they should play local artists that you might not have heard. They'll also mention upcoming gigs etc.

I haven't heard anything to suggest they aren't. Probably a very safe bet to go another scarlet.
I went the Beringher Uphoria 404 last year coz it was a lot cheaper at the 4 input mark. No real complaints so far. Only wish I could toggle 48v on/off on each channel, rather than just a global 48v.

I'm right there with ya. I'm thinking it might be a case of picking easy pieces (projects) of the puzzle to start with and then building from there. Like I'm considering setting a pi-hole soon - seems like an easier networking project. But yeah, I'm not really sure what's the best order of eaiest to hardest projects in terms of self hosting etc.

 

"Modern World" from the 09/27/05 Wolf Parade album Apologies To The Queen Mary.

 

I'm a daily rider who's followed Savic for a while now and would love to switch to electric. Their C-series Alpha is a propper, fully electric motorcycle and they've started public test rides so I thought I'd give it a go. I might write a brief summary of my thoughts in the comments, but yeh, feel free to chime in. Would love to know if others have ridden propper Emotos here.

 
 

I learned a few things from recent rolls. Yep, this camera has a sizable light leak. And the new scanners at airports cause noticeable Xray damage (never used to have a problem).
