Good point. Though I haven’t had any cross platform issues myself with Switch. I use realms to play with a friend that uses Xbox.

Invisible text can accomplish the same thing.

Oh I know. It is just a ridiculous oversight. Compatibility could have easily been hidden for the page and it would have made more sense lol. This is just poor website implementation. Harmless but also makes them look dumb and pretentious 🤣

I appreciate the randomness and the fact that the polishing cloth is only backwards compatible to the iPhone 5 and iPad 4th gen. No mention of any other devices prior to like 2012 which is kinda funny honestly. It is a polishing cloth. I could use it to dust the display of my Philco Predicta and it would do just fine 😂 (not that I have one…just providing a ridiculous example).

Two things for me… pomodoro method and the mantra “Don’t put it down. Put it away.” Pomodoro got me through college and made hyperfocusing on assignments seem like more of a choice. The mantra? It is part of my inner dialogue all the time lol. I tend to put things where ever and wouldn’t you know it? In a day my home is a mess. So once I heard the suggestion I took it to heart and it does actually really help me remember WHY to put things away. Because the “oh I will grab it and put it away later” is a lie.

Therapy? I react badly to all ADHD medications so I am not medicated for it. What has helped me the most is working through things with a therapist who also helped me with implementing coping mechanisms. Things like pomodoro method (this got me through college!), organizers at “drop spots,” and learning how to self talk made a huge difference for me. It is not impossible to do well without meds…it is just harder.

The best solution I have seen to this was the guy I worked with, sick of people shaking the doors repeatedly while we were redoing signage after close exclaimed at some door shakers: “what the fuck you doing bro?!” Those of us in the store lost it and the customers walked away embarrassed. From your comment, I can tell you have not had a job that works with the general population directly like retail. You lose patience pretty quickly with others trying to complain to get their way, push boundaries, and sometimes just be assholes. You should try it sometime. It is quite enlightening.

Shut up and take my upvote 🤣

BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato. Best with a hearty or sweet bread type. My preferred is sweet rye. No condiments needed…just spread the avocado for the texture and added flavor. Husband prefers the bread toasted, but I like it pan fried in butter.

Ahhh the unfortunate speaker placement kills me. Why do designs always seem to put them right where your hands are?

Darning is a method of mending socks. It is a nerdy pun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darning

Teenage engineering partnered with Nothing. That isn’t the same thing.

 

I am actually excited about this. MIDI has so much potential and I am curious to delve deeper into the specs to see new possibilities.

 

Autograph is from Phil Keaggy. I am not much of a guitarist (synth player mostly) but these meet my needs!

 

I found this extremely useful. Make sure to check out his other tutorials for other synths too! I still have to go through one for the Model D I picked up.

 

Don't miss out!

 

My dream synth that re-inspired me to start writing music again.

I miss this guitar… (pixtagram.social)

My first guitar was a Yamaha and it was cheap but someone set it up so good. I wish I didn’t sell it back ages ago. Probably won’t find it again. I liked how it had a black flake finish…so cheesy lol.

 

This guy does a great job recreating and I do not want to know how much he spent on all of those synths!

 

Always nice to see into another person's workflow and how long it takes to get the elusive "perfect" sound that is in your head.

 

Picked up a Neutron and Model D. It has been a blast so far. Any suggestions on favorite ways to route signal?

 

Why? What is your favorite dish?

 

What is your favorite thing about synthesizers? Do you have a favorite instrument, technique, or artist?
