The only thing that can stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun, or a squirrel across the street.

Bad sounds? Clothes giving you anxiety? That's a 'tism.

Yeah, but how on earth are you going to try to pass a gas tax when gas is getting more expensive at a near-exponential rate? Not reading the room like that is how Harris lost to Trump.

It was incredible until they both started getting other work. Then it was an afterthought.

People have been extracting and concentrating cannanaboids for a long time. If there were more serious side effects from strong weed we'd know.

Does nicotine cause cancer, or does tobacco use cause cancer? Legit question here. I know cancer cones when you smoke or use chewing tobacco, but do those little pods? Does inhaled vaporized nicotine do it?

It's ugly AF but infill is better than more sprawl.

I propose every woman on capitol hill carry a 4 inch triangular knife. Any lawmakers with triangle shaped holes need a public flogging followed by prison, if they survive the unstitchable wound.

But obviously there are times one uses soap. It's part inside, part outside. You have to keep outside out of inside.

Mel Gibson made him watch Signs.

AuADHD is not an uncommon diagnosis. Were you considered a gifted student? It tends to slip under the radar in very intelligent kids.

So it is! I thought the mono only came in black, but that was a silly assumption when talking about Korg, kings of the multicolored minikey synth.

 

The best part is when he decided to keep doing the illegal stuff after the Department of Labor told him specifically not to. Who would have thought that the guy who started a newspaper because he didn't like another newspaper's accurate reporting of his bad deeds would also engage in real estate and pension fraud?

 

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I figured this out and it's made it possible for me to interface my microKORG with my computer without buying a dedicated USB MIDI interface. It works for passing notes and for loading sysex/using Korg's craptastic software.

The Minilogue XD has a type-B USB port, as well as full sized MIDI in and out. When plugged into the computer, the Minilogue presents two sets of MIDI interfaces - one labelled "midi" and another labelled "sound" or "keyboard," with in and out for each.

By connecting the out from micro to the in on mini and the out on the mini to the in on the micro and using the minilogue's "MIDI" labelled interface on the computer, you can connect to the micoKORG and backup/load your patches.

I imagine this can be done with other instruments or controllers that have USB and standard MIDI interfaces, but I don't have anything else to test with.

 

I got hurt kinda badly on the job a few weeks back and so far the process has been agonizing between a RN that didn't believe I was in pain, an employer that seems to be laying groundwork for firing me a and a worker's comp insurance company that is more than a little loose with the timing of their payments. The whole thing has me pretty anxious, unable to do most things I enjoy and in a whole boatload of pain.

Anyone had an experience with an on-the-job injury? How'd it go? Any tales of full healing and victory over disability to brighten my outlook?

 

I found this little fella (as well as a number of his friends) outside. It's cold and wet, so I brought them in where they can get warm and dry out. Remember folks, if you're cold they're cold.
