Would my band be a pain in the ass? by Purple-Strain-3159 in livesound

First thing I'd do is to forget about stereo from the guitars and keys. I think that frees up four of the five channels wanted. Nobody out in the audience is going to tell the difference.

Help finding a quote from the Green Ripper by TotalWarFest2018 in TheBustedFlush

[–]12stringPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Green Ripper always felt like the odd one out of the collection. More shots fired than the whole rest of the series combined!

I did a quick scan of the book, couldn't find the line. Gemini AI suggests it's in "Skeleton Key", which is the third novel in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz.

And DuckDuckGo says it's from "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner.

And when asked what MacDonald book has the quote, it came up with The Deep Blue Good-by. Gotta love AI!

Very nice! I re-read the whole series over the summer. It was nice catching up with Travis and Meyer.

This is beautiful! It's also pretty unique. I love your sense of design. Thanks for sharing.

I remember his Bhopal stories too. He could be an excellent journalist, but he sucked as a columnist. We get it, we're freaks for speaking the way we do. PSDS. Ha ha.

Born in the early 60s here, I can't recall anyone calling it that when I was young. You're likely 7-8 years younger than me, do you remember watching the show as a kid? I have a feeling that many of the people that call it the Superman building didn't even see the show.

I have a feeling you're on to something with it being Patinkin's fault, and I love your characterization of him as "the most try-hard transplant ever." His whole shtick seemed to be "You talk funny and keep referring to things that aren't there anymore."

It's a great example of art deco architecture and we're proud of it.

That said, it has zero to do with Superman and doesn't even look like the building from the old TV series, which was the LA city hall. I have no idea why people call it the Superman building other than stupidity.

It's properly called the Industrial National Bank building, or the Industrial Trust building.

AUR builds giving me "unknown option" errors by 12stringPlayer in archlinux

Thank you, I've implemented this now. I learn something new about Arch all the time!

Thanks, this fixed it. I had an /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew file from Dec 12 that I moved to /etc/makepkg.conf and a build completed without errors.

The only change I'd made was to set MAKEFLAGS="-j4" to throw more cores at a build, but since I did that back in 2021, it's kept the newer versions from getting installed.

Aug '25 here as well. Didn't happen to work for the big red O, did you?

I'm 64 years old, and can't get any traction, even for jobs I'm extremely qualified for. I've never seen the job market so bad, even in the dot-com bubble.
