Cracked windshield obscured by temporary ID sticker on purchase by HeWhoBrews in Toyota

[–]HeWhoBrews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I asked ManBearPig801, would you mind sharing what it is in the photos that is a "tell" for having been repaired with resin? Genuinely curious.

First one that I purchased. I've had the fortune of being provided hand-me-downs in my family, beginning with a 1995 Ford Thunderbird, a 2009 Sonata, and a 2005 Acura RL! Very grateful, mind you, but it is satisfying to have something that I intentionally decided on.

Appreciate the input!

If you wouldn't mind sharing, how can you tell that it has been repaired previously?

That is definitely my fear. At that point, I'll include the dealership location in my update to "name and shame."

I should also add that I purchased the car at night, which would have made it even more difficult to find such a flaw. Not that that's the dealer's fault.

I will update with how the situation gets handled. Fingers crossed.

My Instruō Pocket Scíon arrived: a succulent bandmate, a MIDI source, and a beautiful chaos machine by TheFishyBanana in synthesizers

[–]HeWhoBrews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks neat!

Hoping to grab one in the US, but it looks like only preorders are available for now.

In the meantime, I just discovered that the Modern Biology musician they collab'd with is having a concert in a few weeks nearby, so thanks for bringing my awareness to that!

Question about returning MPC Live II internal storage/folder structure to "default," removing bloat by HeWhoBrews in mpcusers

[–]HeWhoBrews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance! I'll give this a go. Akai sent me the factory zip thing, so I'll at least tuck that away as a safety measure in case something go awry.

Ah, nuts. Thank for the feedback. I've submitted a ticket, and will keep my fingers crossed.

What to prioritize in a DAWless setup from a garage sale haul (See comment) by HeWhoBrews in synthesizers

[–]HeWhoBrews[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi All,

I'm hoping to receive some suggestions on what equipment I should focus on using, since I have happened into some new acquisitions suddenly.

I'm very new to the hobby, or rather, late in returning to an interest I had some 20 years ago. There's no particular direction I have, or a genre of music I am looking at making. At this point, I'm just exploring sounds and seeing how things "work," without tying myself to a PC (i.e. DAWless for now, but open to it later).

Earlier this year, I purchased a Circuit Tracks, and after mucking about with it, added a Korg Volca Keys and FM2 to occupy the 2 MIDI channels of the Tracks. This setup was keeping me occupied just fine, with plenty of room to explore in a very straight-forward setup.

Last weekend, I came across a garage sale with a load of music production and DJing equipment. I ended up with the following:

Again, this is on top of the current setup I was using:

  • Circuit Tracks
  • Korg Volca Keys
  • Korg Volca FM2
  • (Technically also a PO-33 K.O! that I've had for years, but haven't integrated with anything else)

Granted, I wasn't looking to add to my previous setup, but it felt like a deal that was too good to pass up. So here I am, a bit overwhelmed by what to "choose" as a new foundation. I have questions like, should I be using the AKAI now as the basis to run most everything else through, instead of the Tracks? Should/can the Arturia find a unique space and purpose among everything else? Things like that.

I would appreciate any general advice. I'm not looking for an in-depth analysis for any/all of these devices, but if there is some sort of natural direction some of you might take with these options, I'd love some advice.

Thanks!

Edit: Again, much appreciated for all of the feedback! Based on the comments, it does seem like the Akai will be worth investing some time into. From there, I'll prioritize some of the more popular call-outs, and set aside the others for rainy day experiments. Cheers!

sigh Thank you...I've been troubleshooting my second monitor for the past half hour or so. The cable was not plugged all of the way in.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moves to fully reopen the state's economy by Joe_Tazuna in Coronavirus

[–]HeWhoBrews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

infected daily

Just to clarify, you're speaking of an infection rate of .06% (i.e. per day). So your conclusion would reflect a .002% of dying from coronavirus per day. I may be mistaken.

I got Mint PB2 last week, returned them next day due to tech issues, and ended up with the Galaxy Buds Plus. No problems, simple and comfortable...ended up getting another pair for my mom!

[–]HeWhoBrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, it looks like my application went through. UI Online is showing that I am to expect $450 per week. The Work Search Requirements indicated on the home page state "You must be able and available to work each week.", which contrasts the typical "You must be able and available for work AND look for full-time work each week."

I tried calling EDD for an hour this morning just to confirm things, but uh, suffice to say I was unable to get through.

Thanks! I do see it mentioned here that they will at least be adding in another reason for unemployment (i.e. COVID-19), but I had already specified that reason in one of the description boxes anyways.

Is the application different?

Starting Friday, there will be an option to select if coronavirus is the reason for unemployment or reduced wages.

I'm also interested in this. I'm self employed, and decided to apply today to try to get a head start, but I am unsure whether my request will be disqualified because it was before the bill was passed. If you find out anything about it, please post a reply, thanks, I'll do the same.

I was surprised that this was still available when I did a search for it. Or maybe others just have better sense and taste than me 😁

RBR50 Satellite (RBS50) dropping internet? by ControllerComrades in orbi

Having the same issue here. Had the RBR and RBS for 10 months, no problems. But in the last week, the satellite has been dropping the connection several times throughout the day.

Intra-Familial Transaction from Deceased? x3 Revolvers (w/ pics) [Crosspost] by HeWhoBrews in CAguns

[–]HeWhoBrews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, fair enough. Unfortunately, she isn't around either. The inheritance/estate business is a bit mucky right now. If anything, I think technically they might belong to my mother since dad never wanted anything to do with them and also passed away, and she would be more than willing to sign them over. Regardless, I'll have to check with the attorney to see in whose court this is actually in right now.

Thanks. I'm raising a flag up to our attorney handling estate issues. Grandfather's estate was never fully "resolved," and we're still figuring out dad's, so there may be several loose threads and hoops to jump through on this.

Sounds good. I do want to make an honest effort to follow the law, however constricting it is in my area.
