While this is stereotypically true, my grandparents that passed away 14 years ago were avid gamers. They adored their NES and bought a SNES when the NES died. I think it is worth inquiring with local nursing homes to see if they have anyone that has gaming experience. My grandma’s favorite game was Loopz. Grandpa’s was golf. Puzzle games especially are good for that age group as they keep the brain busy but don’t necessarily require adept fine motor speed like other genres.

Thank you for pointing this out! I was using Memmy because it was first on the App Store but have since switched back to Mlem (which I did beta for). It is a hell of a lot more fresh on features!

I am an IT nerd so I use Linux to learn more about the OS and programming. This was the original reason and still is the reason I keep a Linux machine on hand. Current machine is a dual-boot LG Gram running Windows 11 (wanted to keep the original OS so just shrunk it) and Arch Linux. It runs on Arch 90% of the time. Really only boot the windows partition to use it for work.

Evade the Eye. Excellent guitar work, good songwriting. Genre: instrumental prog metal

This was an unofficial loaner that was for sale as a used car by the dealer…so they were actively trying to sell it.

I once had a loaner from a dealer that was a Dodge Caliber. Ugly as sin and the transmission was definitely on its way out. That car was just a struggle. It was a reminder why I will never buy a Chrysler product.

Thanks! I’m well past the darkest time in my life, thank goodness. I do appreciate your kindness. We need more of that in today’s world.

I was so broken in my early 20’s. I had been consistently struggling with college, did not understand myself, and just genuinely felt alone. It wasn’t until my 30’s and getting into a psychology class that I started piecing together that I have ADHD (officially diagnosed now), a sleep disorder that makes me tired unexpectedly and intensely, and just generally started to find who I was as a person. It took years of working with a psychiatrist and psychologist (therapist) to start unraveling years of negative self talk and also work through some religious trauma.

The one point I remember is I was thinking just how easy it would be to drive off a bridge…but I liked my car too much to do it. Those were rough times, but I made it through and haven’t been that low since.

Harmon Kardon Soundsticks II about five years ago. $14

I am curious what you come up with. Keep us posted!

I am in Ohio and there is a music repair shop in town that specializes in anything electronic. Had them resolder a jack in my CP-30 years ago and they have worked on my ART tube mic pre. Bench fee alone is $60 last time I was by, but they do quality work.

lol at the wine stopper comment.

I love this channel haha.

That looks quite fun! Much more affordable than some of their other stuff too.

After using analog lab and being disappointed in it, I find it hard to be interested in their stand-alone synths. I find the analog lab sounds flat and fake. I have heard good things from others online about the stand-alones, though.

Are you looking for something like the eyesy?

That sounds like loads of fun. Roland makes such great synths. I have thought about buying one of the synths I used to have (Alesis Micron) but then keep stopping myself because I remember how much menu diving it had.

Last week I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade from my mixer/zoom interface setup to an Apollo x6. Also ordered the JU-06a so it will be an exciting week.

Over the weekend, the husband and I traded synths (he now has the Prophet Rev2 and I have the Behringer Deepmind 6). Makes me realize how much I hate the workflow of the Deepmind even though it sounds good and also made my husband want a prophet lol.

Toss up between raisin nut bran or basic 4. I just like the taste variety.

Look into backpacking meals. They keep forever practically and simply require heat and water most times to prepare.
