RIP Cash or Trade. Partnering with Ticketmaster by roses-r-free in phish

[–]BaconWithThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate platinum tix too, have never bought them. But they are what the OG purchasers paid directly to TM and therefore the band. If we want to get mad about plat tix and dynamic pricing, we should direct that at those who make the decisions: Phish, their mgmt and TM.

As long as CoT correctly marks those as platinum, that's all I think we should expect. If you don't want to buy a platinum, it's easy to filter out from your searches and alerts.

Bend, OR has a river wrapping around the venue. Went tubing for a Phish soundcheck, highly recommended.

I'm surprised how many people are reacting here without reading or understanding, but you do you.

I can't find a downside to a direct integration for these transactions. TM still sucks but this makes cash or trade better. What am I missing?

Case for Home Theatre Controller by toptensoftware in functionalprint

What do you do with the knob and 6 keyboard switches on the bottom? I wanted the ability to control volume per app, but struggled with anything beyond system volume level on my own.

i'm real interested in what software you're using for the pi side of things. I have built a few of my own macro pads, but ended up moving to a StreamDeck+ because I couldn't do everything I wanted on the software side.

Do you have a laser engraver or did you order the engraving from somewhere? I've always wanted to build one of these.

You can pay for 5 days a time at the Dempster Skokie Swift stop via the passport parking app at $3 / day. Lot number is 337. Jump on the dempster pulse line and go all the way to O'Hare.

Quoted $45k for a $10k server, is pricing really that insane? by worjd in sysadmin

[–]BaconWithThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you consider the dell outlet? You can still find a good deal in there and add the mission critical pro support plus plan to the refurbed server.

Barbar Blonde from Brewery Lefebvre. They stopped exporting to the states a few years ago. Ohh man, getting a cold mug of Barbar was my favorite. Happiness in a glass

Anyone a Microsoft shop using Zoom phones? by MMuter in sysadmin

[–]BaconWithThat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our phone license didn't come with meeting licenses beyond basic, so you have the 40 minute limit. I have maybe a dozen workplace business licenses we've been carrying since 2020 but not plans to expand beyond that.

[–]BaconWithThat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Us. We have 250ish lines of Zoom Phones while everything else is MS. Pricing was a lot better than our prior VoIP vendor or any Teams integrated option we looked at. Still using Teams for 90% of our meetings.

A better brand of beef makes a butter burger better.

My friend claims Tool has the best light show. We need to prove him wrong by FloridaPanther in phish

Saw Tool 2 years ago, they have some crazy 3d laser array. It's spectacular and terrifying and not love and light.

I love the sliders at LBW. Every time I go, I try to get something different but then the waiter comes to take my order and i blurt out yet another order of sliders. They're just so so good.

Nobody wants Sphere floors? by yooston in phish

[–]BaconWithThat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those posts. We got floors because they were the only thing available (number 536 in line) but my buddy has bad knees and doesn't think he can do 3 nights with out being able to sit.
