praise the sun

the midi definitely works, the firmware updates was the mystery. worst case I have a shitbook laptop in the closet with windows for doing such updates

edit: I remember what i thought might not work. the original board and the minis of the same time period can connect over bluetooth but it sounded like it worked fine on mac os but windows was nearly unusable, and no linux users even knew about the thing. No idea if the seaboard 2 or the current minis have that fucntionality.

that little hole in the bun triggers my irrational fear that an eyeball will look at me from within the bun.

nice drawing btw.

realistically probably a month or two. I've been in renovation limbo and parts of the house are incomplete, and I still need to redo some of the parts that are done.

just setting it up though, maybe like 30min of research on the clock at work when nobody is looking and maybe about the same for the actual setup.

I demoed it before I took it home. Its super cool. Its the original 25 key model which I suspect will end up making me want the bigger one fairly quickly. Hopefully I'll have time for it soon.

I gave it to a relative that wanted to learn piano and I was too busy with work to sit at the comp/piano station, then never got around to getting another. I have a second hand seaboard now but I haven't looked into setting it up or if it even works under linux

I just took that to mean I can drink from the tub of food grade 85% phosphoric acid we have at the brewery

I used to keep a piano keyboard next to my computer for loading downtime, and it was the least depressed days of my life.

it would probably be in everyone's best interest even considering canada can't even take care of itself with its current land and population.

I don't know enough about mexico to comment on how much more they could take on.

maybe by version 25 the linux phone will be ready and harware at least on par with an old pixel A model will be available for it.

I am puzzled by many things...

well if a luigi copycat appears in the news and they find on him a fake ID naming him mario nintendioni, you know its me...

I don't know if there is some reference or humour here I'm not picking up on but this kinda just grosses me out and makes me not want to eat meat. The nuggs are one thing but a fucking mcd cheeseburger is not exactly an example of good meat, and the man is pretty gross too.

well trup got no punishment so I figure he's at the fuck you got mine stage of things.

I guess they are u.s. only? Haven't heard of them until now but brief search sounds like they have some pretty hard to find stuff

for biking get over bar mitts too. you don't need the clunky shell that makes your hands sore to ride with, and the wind chill won't blast away all your glove heat and drain the battery super fast, depending on the circuitry of the heated glove anyway.

I don't remember much political shit with vine. Just silly videos that didn't reek of trying to game the algorithm to make money. It makes me think of how tablets failed originally but then apple made them and everyone wanted to pay to lick the turtleneck guy's asshole.

Originally I used fat bike with studded winter tires for winter, but I recently tried 650x45 studded tires and I might switch entirely to regular size bike. I haven't actually had snow this year though and I suspect it won't be able to do as deep snow as the fat bike before becoming expert difficulty. Even the fat bike exits my skill level at deeper snow levels or even just different conditions like how skiers or snowboarders would categorize them.

clothes:

• sweater and sweat pants for warm, with thin rain gear on top for wet and as wind breaker.
• will be trying the mesh base layer thing but haven't bought it yet. vents in rain layer have been enough sweat management for me so far.

bike:

• studded tires. absolute magic, black ice patches you can't even walk on become nearly ignorable.
• pogies/over bar mitts. can wear regular cycling gloves and still be warm. with the heavy padded gloves braking and shifting massively fatigue my hands fighting the clunkiness and altered haptic feedback.
• Replace any critical rusted bolts after salt season. I subbed in titanium for many of the lower ones but they seem to have lower torque limit before snapping to I recommend torque wrench.
• always had fenders to begin with

at work I hang them fan blowing down under the top tier of the pallet racking which has about a half pallet width of extra space that would otherwise be wasted. The spaces below are low enough to be feasible to use as shelving but the top one made a great out of the way filter location. Another one is attached to the outside of the mezzanine railing blowing sideways away from the mez.

Is your workshop tall enough to hang one overhead or on a wall? The fan doesn't have to blow upwards judging by how mine always have absolutely loaded filters on all sides when I replace them.

its a great way to make a quick filter on the cheap without paying the markup for the trangely dimensioned filters of commercial air filter machines. You can put more or less money on the actual filters depending on what you need to filter too. I have like 6 or 7 of these going between my workplace and home. some are set up with construction dust in mind, a couple to get the smoke from outside at work which gets in when doors are left open, and the rest for pet dust.
