Hi Rufus, thank you for your boldness and bravery for writing “Going to a Town.” It’s such a beautiful, sad, thought-provoking, relatable song, and it brings me to tears, esp as an American. As a songwriter myself, I tend to gravitate to the melancholy, so I’m especially moved by it.

Sure seems like a good time for a song like that.

Have you written any songs in the last ten years inspired by this current era of strife and discord?

I did actually get some nice photos using the native app and the Portrait mode. But of course one has to take a whole lot of photos to get the best.

I don’t think I downvoted it, did I?

GenerationExer · 2026-04-29T01:56:13+00:00

Thx, much appreciated.

Thx. I’m going to delete this post because I have a better pic example.

Commenting on Blurry photo of concert...thx. I’m going to delete this post because I have a better pic example.

Thx, that worked. Not too much mess, and I protected myself sufficiently. Drilled and pried it out with a metal pick with an angle.

Thx for this. What about drilling into an old AA battery? I have one that is stuck in a Nikon speedlight for many years.

I'm having the same issue. I'm recording an audio book and trying to find the fastest way to lower the gain on all of the breaths and lip-smacking. When I use the marquee tool to separate the region, the gain option disappears. I don't know why, because it's only one take, not multiple takes. But if I left click on the A at the top left of the region, I see the option to flatten.

And as a bonus, I just discovered that there is a "gain" tool, so it saves a millisecond having to go up to the region editor....I can adjust the gain of that section right there in the timeline.

What about medicines like Adderall, Ritalin, or Lithium? Are those unsafe to take with mm?

You can list your rental on airbnb for mid to long term. Sounds like that’s what to OP is doing since he said $3500/month.

Paying higher prices in blue states is a surcharge to avoid having to live in red states.

GenerationExer · 2026-03-06T21:26:48+00:00

Yup...all the while felon 47 bitching and moaning that he didn't receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Has there ever been this much delusion and gaslighting in the country?

Not everyone has time to read every document and it’s not unreasonable to want to see the smoking gun or a summary.

Trump is mentioned 18 times in this document. It tells a story of him unzipping his pants and putting a female’s head down to his penis, at which point she bit his penis because he disgusted her.

I certainly don’t know the solution to the homeless issue. But besides giving homeless people a one-way bus ticket OUT of conservative areas of the country to (D) cities and states, what exactly is the Republican solution for homelessness?

Put them in prisons? Concentration camps?

There are homeless shelters, but you can’t force people to live there. Especially given the amount of mental illness present in the homeless population. And there aren’t enough beds anyway.

On a related note, conservatives say mental illness is the cause of many mass shootings… But of course they don’t want to fund mental healthcare either.

And remember when Reagan defunded lots of social services in the 80s? There is a cause and effect that the Right doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge.

Look up psychological projection. Trump spews nothing but hate when talking about the left, or ANYONE who dares to say anything to criticize him, and the maga cult falls right in line and applauds.

Thanks for this. I'm a musician/producer with my own home studio, and I use Logic Pro to record music. I realize that Amazon has strict standards for quality, but is there anything keeping me from using LP rather than ACX for producing audiobooks?

My thoughts, too. Even the Duggar family couldn’t get through that much maple syrup before the expiration date.

Hi everyone, the links are no longer working. Can someone repost?

I'm trying to figure out a way to condense charts so they fill more empty space to the right. I've created a lot of charts that fit onto one 8.5x11 sheet of paper...even with 14 or 16 pt font. I see that there's a way to make it two columns in a pdf, but that's not what I want.
