There are toilets that have a shitshelf, no splash ever. Stains are more likely, but a layer of tp or a quick post-partum brushing does the trick. Small price to pay for a dry bum.

Most people don’t read anything anyway.

Media piracy is part of the family lore. I don’t recall having more than a handful of original cassettes (audio and vhs), later on the same with cd’s growing up. Turns out my dad was the progenitor, he only had maybe 25-30 records, but recently I unearthed a huge box of reel to reel tapes with music mostly recorded from other people’s records (from about 1966-1980). When online piracy reared it’s head, it was only yet another way to obtain quality home entertainment.

Or homework

Found the sapper!

What about divers?

Why did I read this in Glenn Fricker’s voice?

Besides the problems outlined, the sound these things make drive me nuts. Although, I was wondering if it was possible to somehow modulate the frequency so when sou light a cig it plays a tune.

Maintain it probably.

Just last night I was playing around with the Tukan plugin collection and they are mental. Lots of very good sounding clones and models. I haven’t checked the drum stuff, but I did play around with the bass and guitar stations and managed to dial in some serious high-gain wall of sound type tones very easily.

Another way of getting good tones is simply obtaining high quality IR-s and just loading them in a suitable plugin. If you have a reamp box and access to some nice amps you can even create your own.

You could also do something similar for the drums. Just get some nice samples, load them into any old sequencer and you got yourself a drummer who’s never late or drunk. Then again, you lose the out of the box experience, but you only have to do it once.

I regret not switching my audio workflow to linux much earlier. A few years ago I got rid of everything Microsoft and started working with Reaper stock plugins exclusively. Not as pretty, but basically anything can be done with some fiddling. Only now I’m exploring the JSFX and LSP options and I’m hard pressed to find anything that I miss from the days of expensive plugins. Made me a better engineer as well. Less distractions, more listening and measuring.

Have you tried LSP? I’m super impressed by it and it can be a drop in replacement for many pro-grade technical plugins. That and reapak have pretty much replaced everything for me.

Sounds good. From what I understand sugar season is between Halloween and Easter.

Make it sausage.

The difference is that a lawyer and a plumer are both useful and accountable.

Ah, the ‘itis!

“The oath says I shall do no harm, I can inflict as much pain as I want.”

I really wish emissions/efficiency/reliability restomods became more common. Fuel injection and a modern cat can really improve an old car.

I’m kind of worried what I’ll drive in 20 years time. There aren’t a lot of cars I like that came out after 2005 and I need to find a way to keep stuff running.

You could indeed do that. My uncle did something similar back in the day when he had no display.

What about Odysee? I don’t frequent it too much these days but it seemed like a good alternative a few years ago.

So far I like this version the best. However, someone put up the human rights logo and I think it would do quite well here, since it’s a dove (as requested), but also looks a bit like a hand. Another request was the color black. Maybe make the pupil black? Pretty sure that covers the commitee’s requests.

Edit: something like this
