Lyander

What bites is that I thought we could have at least still been friends since we got along really well, but nah.

Ahh... shame. Heart problems here too. Teenage reactions at 70? Heart jumping, tummy fluttering!
I'm married. She's 20 years younger. But we are friends and will continue to be so. Even though it has cost me a mighty effort of self-discipline!

I'd say that's to your credit, @Thad E Ginathom. No one can escape ageing, but that doesn't mean growing up, growing more callous, is likewise mandatory.

Some universities offer 6 month lab rotation programs so that a phd student can check out different research groups. But in most cases its hard to gauge the fit. This is especially true for international students. Its easy to feel trapped if your student status also determines if you can stay in the country.

I had an advisor that kept directing me towards screening classes. After a few quarters I figured out she did not have my best interests in mind. Found an advisor that was an old navy guy. My education and performance in classes took an immediate change for the better.

@Lyander We have investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong

Hah, well maybe so, but I've always had somewhat questionable aesthetic taste. I just think it's cool seeing components on display (even for things like fountain pens with novel or even typical filling mechanisms), but that's probably largely due to my not being exposed thereto on a regular basis.

I mostly agree with you, @BenjaminBore with the exception of band related items. People see it and ask so I can proselytize and maybe put some $ in their pockets. See avatar for instance.

@Lyander @Senorx12562 Excuse me. I have a tendancy to go ten steps ahead in a conversation before I open my mouth. I was more commenting on people who really 'embrace' their interest, going well beyond one or two set or conversational pieces.

I felt nothing. That's 2-1.

Nothing 2
bloody awful for 18 hours 1

Wondering when number 4 will come along.

Hope you feel well soon!

Feeling leagues better sooner than expected! Still a bit imbalanced in my stride but that'll hopefully wear off soon.

No idea when number 4 might come along but if memory serves this is supposed to be a semi-yearly thing?

I might have completely forgot about that thread. Whoops. Thanks guys! Gonna be grilling him about preferences I suppose, and catching up on some reading there.

I know bikesdirect.com doesn't ship to the Philippines, but it's a good example of what's called a commuter or hybrid bike. Flat bars, decent spec, no suspension but big-ass tires

@Lyander I agree with @ergopower that based on the use cases you described, a hybrid might fit the bill. You would save money over the hardtail Decathlon, and it would be more fun to ride in an urban setting. I have a 2020 version of this one, and it's great on light trails: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/escape-disc-2-2022

ebay international sellers still the primary source for these tips into USA?

They are more rubbery than silicone. And they do add some warmth.

Addendum: there's only so much warm sounding tips can do for hyper-sharp sounding pop music (not to mention the Solaris is naturally bright-leaning without foams)

I don’t know about the charities but itch.io is awesome. Basically the video game equivalent to Bandcamp

itch.io is great for smaller devs, yeah. I don't play horror games cuz I could actually break something (I'm a jittery sort when tense) but I enjoy watching others go through em and itch has birthed many excellent indie scares!

I've donated a crapload to the boom boom one. FU Putin.

A friend just pointed me in the direction of these. Figured might as well signal boost a bit. I lean towards the humanitarian one but the boom-boom one is more immediately pressing perhaps

FWIW I've donated to both. I like to be crystal fucking clear that I support the boom boom here, though.

Grazie, somehow missed those links while searching. My Google-fu needs work I suppose. Guess this means I'm stuck somewhere right between M and ML on the JVCs... eh hope there're cheap options for em-- how the heck do these cost so much!

Because they're worth it ;) Try the OG SDs first, at the Penon link they're $13.50 for 3 pairs & you can mix sizes.

it's the international shipping that is messing with me. Yeah on this small a scale it does make sense that minute changes to interface with the ears would make for massive changes. I'm basically looking for an Azla Sedna (non Xelastec) that keeps the subterranean bass but has non-dagger/sandpaper highs.

Still I feel for anyone in that situation, even if they have said a lot of bad words to a bunch of internet strangers.

@purr1n Yeah, northern city center. By now he could have volunteered or been drafted. With a lot of artillery, bombing, and thermobaric rockets heading their way, and food running low. Civilians are about to have a really bad time.

Wayback Machine has a copy from Jan 19. Maybe he saw what was coming and decided to try and mea culpa.

I wish everybody in Ukraine well. But that doesn't mean that I want to talk to them.

My dim brain cells recall some comment about delivery guys that was racist beyond forgiving. So I prefer to forget, and won't make any effort to revise all that stuff.

Ouch

Should you eat lots of bread and pumpkin to ease things through? that’s what our vet advises for the dogs.

just had a fair bit of squash yesterday but frankly speaking it's a small thing so not likely to cause much problems passing through. Whether or not I'll get it reinstalled though....

Hi Lyander, it’s been a while. Hope you are doing well. Let us know how it goes.

I use micro mesh from Goulet Pens or 12000 grit.

Hi @EagleWings! Doing fairly well I'd say, just that things are still progressing at a snail's pace and I seem to be stuck with a mild cough that's not going away. Ugh.

@Cryptowolf I forgot Goulet sold micromesh! It's honestly been forever since I worked on my own nibs and I've never actually tried buying directly from some of the bigger western retailers. Thanks for the poke haha.

There are a few standout plot holes and clunky bits over the runtime but it's not the kind of film you'll necessarily be dissecting for a class.

@nishan99 I’m with you. I already micro manage dozens of things to get to the good bits, my life. I loved XCOM I and II, but the reboots are too much.

I actively avoid rougelikes because I get attached to characters and feel genuinely sad when they die, haha. that said I like the look of the new Darkest Dungeons with the cel shaded models, though the carriage travel is a bit... eh.

Frankly inventory is the biggest pain in the butt. Fights and exploration are pretty simple and oodles of fun.

Well the main char can't die but yeah the rest of the squad can... honestly this mod is pretty brutal and sometimes i reload if i lose a pilot or a mech needs to be rebuilt which is expensive.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery.

get well quick, bud!!! best wishes!!!

Hope you recover fully and have no lingering effects from your bout.

Oh wow, yeah that's a fair bit more expensive ($70 is ~₱3,496 while ¥9,000 is ~₱3,953). Guess that's just a thing with cost of living being what it is in people's respective regions. It's a bit cheaper than US pricing where I live (₱3,490), but that's still a massive chunk of change. Def waiting on a sale, but I have a friend who bought it as soon as it released since she loves FF7.

I wish I have more time to play. Hehe...

Not a clue what the console is but hah, nice! Been hyped for a remake since that engine teaser for the PS3 ages ago, just pinching pennies at this point I suppose (time to play is here and there, but more here lately thankfully-- Fallout: New Vegas is great fun!)

Yup, Jack Conte and his wife Nataly Dawn are Pomplamoose. See them on the Tube.

He created Patreon as a way for people to support them and other artists that people love, without the recording industry as a middleman.

This is about where I have that "The More You Know" sound running on loop in the back of my head, haha. Makes sense though, since Patreon seems like one of the less money-grubbing avenues to support creators.
