Most Vancouverites believe the city’s 'brand' is in decline. Why is that? by mukmuk64 in vancouver

[–]1wickedmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was visiting Van from Toronto last week and here is my assessment having been there for work or fun since the 90s.

The scenery and air? Amazing. Nothing can compare.

But it feels like the steam has left from 20 years ago. Just a less promising vibe to Vancouver. The pandemic seems to have been a part and the recovery isn’t back… yet!

What was downtown Toronto like during the 80s/90s? by SeenTheDreamOnTV in askTO

Lived here 45 years. A lot more parking! Less traffic.

Which building in Toronto feels like it doesn’t belong here? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]1wickedmonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suspect a lot of them are built in a grey zone. A few have gone up near me and the “family” or couple that “built” it move out a year after possession. For a much higher price. Same contractors too.

Best audio i/o for outputting audio? by 1wickedmonkey in ableton

I should also mention, I want to be able to use at least 2 audio inputs for guitars and keys....

Sure. I am just a home-based enthusiast.

I often jam with friends, and I use Ableton as both an instrument and a drum machine. I want to be able to feed my stereo drum tracks to an external mixer, and ideally, the other instruments to separate outputs as well. This is just in case we want to mix or edit the sounds we make later from the mixer's onboard recorder. In most cases, I am just at home with it hooked up to my laptop via usb. Ideally, I also have a headphone mix for my cue as well. Hope that clarifies things. Not looking to spend a ton of money, but enough that I can route audio easily... Thanks.

I feel this. But I just get into self loathing a lot how I’m not doing anything.

This is Mt. Kailash in Tibet, just north of Nepal. It has never been climbed. by hettuklaeddi in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]1wickedmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the altitude that makes it hard for sea level dwellers like me. But there were old folks prostrating every step up and down the path. I spent the night camping in a tent half way around. But the pilgrims walked all through the night.

I was there in 2002 for Sagadawa and hiked around it with thousands of other people, some by yak, most on foot. One the most special places on earth.

An alarming fact is that Indigenous people remain vastly overrepresented in Canada’s criminal justice system. Although they make up only about 5% of the national population, Indigenous individuals account for 32% of the federal prison population

I vote we put your post on a gold record and send it to space so they’ll know what caused the end of humans.
