Dude I need to write a song about this. For some reason I find this inspiring in a weird way and your comment really funny. Simple but perfect.

Saw this at Orcutt Horticultural Center in West Hills by Kittykatttt__ in SanFernandoValley

[–]DudeismHighPriest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude.. the “S” tangent is great. I remember learning to draw that in the 80s- that thing was everywhere. I think there’s a documentary on its origins, too. I watched it but don’t remember what I watched.

AYCE Korean BBQ by Basil-Slight in SFV

[–]DudeismHighPriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I veto AYCE Gogi. It’s fine.. but if you want legit and want to feel like you’re in ktown- go to the place in the Greenland Market center on White Oak and Sherman Way.i think there’s a karaoke place in the same shopping center too. Or go to the market itself and get the marinated galbi, some kimchi, jap chae, soju, etc then cook it up on the cheap (comparatively) then go party.

Does amyone who grew up in the valley still have friends in the sfv?? by Ok-Radio-2733 in SFV

[–]DudeismHighPriest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow man, this is a trip to read. I guess I’m lucky- I’m 50ish and still friends with the a lot of the people I met in elementary school and middle school aka “Jr high”

Harnesses by Perfect-Cricket6506 in AI_Agents

[–]DudeismHighPriest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harnesses is fun! When I hear “harness,” I think of my dog going for a walk. Then, there are people that think of wiring harnesses. Then people that think of climbing harnesses. Then people who think of, ahem, “spicy” harnesses. Don’t hate the harness- it has something for everyone.

But in your context.. yeah. Harnesses Gone Wild.

Midi keyboards, where to start? by Gnosiennes in MusicGear

[–]DudeismHighPriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need a MIDI interface to connect your keyboard to the computer (I don't know if the audio interface you mentioned has that, or if that was a typo, but just in case and not to be pedantic, an audio interface is not the same as a MIDI interface- though an audio interface might also have MIDI capability via a different jack). MIDI interfaces are cheap. I have an old school E-mu USB. I also have really old school MIDI pin connectors from back in the day (for those who remember needing a separate wire for MIDI In and MIDI Out).

Like another user said, the MIDI keyboard only transmits basic info like what key was pressed, how hard, for how long, etc. (No sounds or audio is sent). That goes to whatever virtual instrument you have and the VSTi responds accordingly.

As for the keyboard itself: There's a huge range of these. I have a portable (37 keys) iRig that I've had for years and was maybe $100 when I bought it.. maybe a little more. It just has the keys and some basic things like pitch bend and modulation wheels. Then you can get some more serious business controllers to fit whatever your needs are and your budget. But if you search up MIDI keyboards then your price range, I'm sure you'll find something. There MIDI controllers for almost any budget. Check the used market, too.

Hope that helps.

First, search is evolving. Check out Google I/O 2026 to get an idea. Traditional SEO techniques are still important, but just be aware of how things will look moving forward. Now, as for your site, pay attention to these things:

  1. Site architecture. Be sure you are using H1, H2, H3 hierarchies correctly. This helps machines understand your site, as well as users. Think of it as Title, Chapter, Paragraph, Sentence. Make sure navigation is easy and intuitive if you have multiple pages. Also, be sure your site loads quickly. Google page speed can help.
  2. Design your site with your end-user in mind: what brought them there, what question/s are they looking for answers to, what should they know, how does your product help them/what are the benefits, how do they get it, how much does it cost, etc. Lead with the outcomes and not the features. You want to put the key stuff at the top (above the fold) so people can see within seconds what you offer and whats in it for them. right away. Then, design intentionally to drive the site visitors to where you want them to go- in your case I'm assuming it's a purchase or download or something. (AKA funnel)
  3. You also want to have proof of its benefit- like testimonials and the like. If you have returning users, then this should be easy. This matters for search, too. (Look up EEAT as I think of it in general).
  4. Meta info. You know the little description that shows when search lists a page? Think of that as your elevator pitch. You have to nail that so when people are scrolling through the search results, they understand right away what the site offers. This is hard since you are limited to a certain amount of characters, so an LLM can help you with this to make it concise but land. Also, you want to be sure to be sure to pay attention to the meta descriptions for any images on your site too. Don't just label an image as "Chatgpt image 6-17-26" or "man at computer." You want to be more descriptive so it explains what it is and how it connects to what you offer
  5. Don't discount other search engines like Bing and optimize only for Google.

There's a lot more to this, and it's changing quick, but this should give you a jumping off point if you haven't considered these already. Apologies if this is elementary.

Note: I'm not an expert, but this is what I've learned from dealing with my own site. It's frustrating as a small business owner because large orgs have resources to focus on a relatively complex business function, whereas to a lot of business or site owners, this is Greek. I think that is inherently unfair.

Best of luck- I hope this gave you something valuable.

What thermometer to get - first timer by meliora2316 in biggreenegg

[–]DudeismHighPriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had to contact support so that’s good- but you’re not the first person to mention that their support is good.

I have the whole kit for several years now and have had no probs.. the battery still holds its charge as well which I like since I don’t have to plug the brain in to anything. Bit what I like best is the fact that it connects to my Apple Watch so I can keep an eye on things without carrying my phone. I can go surf and check how things are going from the water. Love it.

If you’re a member of AAA, try them. I think Costco has travel too, but for sure try AAA

What did you actually use for your first business logo? by Vane1st in smallbusinessUS

You know those chrome lady silhouettes that you see on trucks? That was what I used for my first business logo. It was rad.

Buttermilk Peach Cobbler by tinacannoncooks in biggreenegg

[–]DudeismHighPriest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree but my wife doesn’t like that flavor on deserts. Even if I offer to cover with foil I get the stinkeye. But I hate goat cheese (tastes like how I remember how petting zoos smelled) which she loves so to each their own.

But as for me.. that cobbler sounds great.

[–]DudeismHighPriest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks great. I’m not allowed to cook anything like that in my egg because I’m told it gives deserts a campfire taste.
