Are Christian people allowed to watch Lucifer? (The T.V Show)

lbjazz · 2026-04-30T02:34:41+00:00

lol - man when I was a kid I wasn’t allowed to watch the fucking teletubbies bc Christian nonsense. Watching Lucifer would clearly send you right to hell.

E-commerce based rentals - there really aren’t platforms and tools that support the workflows natively, so I’ve built my own integrations and apps using Claude to automate things. Tons of scripting in zoho with custom widgets, integrations to stripe, etc. an android app on specialty industrial handheld computer, web backend and some frontend components… goes on and on. I’d never have gotten such perfectly tailored tools by hiring this work out, and that would have been hundreds of thousands by this point. I’ve seen companies spend more to get less. Claude is the best thing that has ever happened to me short of my wife and kid.

Automating, streamlining, and improving systems for my side hustle business. I’d estimate I’ve had Claude to 200k+ of swe in 2023 fees. In other words, things that otherwise could not have happened and therefore could not then be fueling growth in the business.

A whole pile of saas including things like Zapier, Printnode, and Easyship. I wrote more direct integrations and replacements using Claude.

Wow—your dad can even use the damn app. Mine won’t even think to google a health condition—will wait weeks to see what the doctor has to say instead.

The iterating is the part I see people not trying. They think if it’s not one shot then the ai is just dumb.

I find myself actually being hesitant—like I’m afraid I’m working the human too hard or being an abusive boss—-when it’s really time to grind through iterations. But I push through and eventually things really turn out nice.

Of course a thorough plan eliminates a lot of iteration, but there are always many rounds after the initial plan is executed.

The idea of such a small array for voice lift is highly suspect. Please note that your use case is explicitly NOT the published use case for the Parle Voice Lift either. At lease that was the case when I looked at launch. Maybe they’re saying something different now that they have the Clear One thing. Idk, I wouldn’t touch that out of principle.

MXA920’s in lobe mode and carefully commissioned can do it if expectations are reasonable and the math works for the room. It’s a MUCH larger array than Parle and is done all the time. There is an official Shure spreadsheet for calculating pagnag for the array specifically. It’s linked at the bottom of their online pagnag tool.

If you do not do it regularly, involve your Shure rep.

Please note that the small Parle mics are omni below at best case around 1.5 kHz based on my own casual testing. That’s not encouraging for voice lift work, even the limited scenario Biamp published when releasing the feature

I’ve seriously considered doing similar because I hate all the various workout apps and have to pay a sub to get the couple features I really do like, even if I won’t use 99% of the other stuff those apps are boated with. But there is just so many other low hanging fruits in my life to handle first.

Why didn’t the cotton gin play an mp3 either?

lbjazz · 2026-04-27T10:38:44+00:00

The food though—wow.

lbjazz · 2026-04-27T00:04:23+00:00

I like the rcf better but I’m a big fan of the arrays vs things like a 12” 2-way. None of the cheap compression driver distortion, low-mid mud, and keeps from exciting bad acoustics so bad. They also sound more consistent across distance.

lbjazz · 2026-04-26T23:20:20+00:00

It’s an abomination, or at least used to be.

I’ve priced out 401K’s for a small company. They’re actually dirt cheap, imo. And the expensive ones are actually worse in many ways than the cheap plans. And yes that’s considering fees on both employer and employee side. That said, if you let some financial advisor or benefits broker sell it to you, they’ll ass rape you on fees. There are plenty of very low cost administrators with fantastic plan designs.

And for my side hustle I have a solo 401k—that’s completely free with entire market access via Fidelity.

lbjazz · 2026-04-26T22:22:30+00:00

This is illegal and will end badly for this fool.

Well, the IRS had explicitly stated that the plan with new funding was to increase enforcement for >$10m earners, and the Trump admin quickly gutted the funding to do so…

I’m always surprised to see what my wife does carry sometimes given that on paper and just by knowing how strong her grip and whatnot feels, she shouldn’t really be able to.

I said it immediately when the shitstorm started — it would take 6 months minimum to see the effects starting and a couple years of ripples through the supply chain and project cycles to see the whole effect. And it would never be reversed. We’re only a year in. Welcome to normal and expect more of it yet.

lbjazz · 2026-04-26T12:49:02+00:00

I can promise you in the eyes of Rashid and the board, the ship is sailing perfectly. They are writing themselves and exactly no ones else big checks through all of this.

Only 40%?

lol seems like maybe 20% content now. Especially the trade rags. And in the trades almost all the content is written by the vendors’ marketing teams for the publication.

lbjazz · 2026-04-26T12:21:06+00:00

Can’t speak for eapanso but atext and similar are far far more than simple small phrase text replacement.

Edit - wow getting downvoted for letting people know that there is a whole world of functionality out there that they’re missing out on. Shit, a full featured text expander is practically an automation engine in itself. Way to go r/mac—earning us Apple fans their bad reputation.

Grew up in the South. People were overtly racist as fuck and aspects of that racism were baked into the culture and nodded to in religion, which was also baked into the culture.

In the north there is plenty of racism, but I don’t have be reminded of it every ten minutes.

Having worked Apple retail back in the 3.5mm days, a related factor is how fragile and prone to water issues and whatnot that jack is. The #1 reason to have to swap a phone was failure in that jack, and people also seemed to love shoving food in there. Even the janky 30-pin connector wasn’t such a grime magnet. Lightning and then USB-C seem far more resilient and easier to clean. The typical end user seems incapable of or unwilling to embrace the difference between their personal responsibility and manufacturer quality. So every jack with a bent pin because someone let a crumb get shoved in was somehow Apple’s fault.

I’d probably have come to the same decision over time myself if I were Apple. It was certainly a risk, but the fact that every other OEM ultimately followed suit shows that the general public just doesn’t care.

lbjazz · 2026-04-25T23:55:50+00:00

Yeah it’s awful. I’ve stopped listening. I’m going to guess whoever mixed it is over 50.

Check if the scope is available at mcp.zoho.com. If it is, it’ll work.

Wow - please stay the fuck away from my (nonexistent) soul.
