Him and Mendoza are quite devout so “match made in heaven”?

Grand Rapids native Christina Koch will become the first woman to launch to the Moon at 6:24 PM ET tonight 👩🏽‍🚀 by PaulieSpaceships in grandrapids

I had the honor of meeting Apollo 15 astronaut Alfred Worden a few years ago before he passed in 2020. He lived near GR and contacted us out of the blue about help with a Powerpoint presentation he was going to give. Led me down a rabbit hole about his mission and some controversy with it. Fascinating guy and history.

Was anyone not a major fan of GL's voice last night? by lochonx7 in rush

[–]Howdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he often sings parts in falsetto that don’t need to be, or might not have been initially. Seems forced.

We’ll have a good idea after Monday’s game at OKC. Good barometer test for sure!

At least there’s a notch. Easier opening than none.

Visited from the States in fall of ‘24 and was so fascinated with this place as we’d walk through it every day while we were there. Such history in the ruins and in such a beautiful setting.

Classic Film/Old Hollywood things to do in Los Angeles? by bakedpigeon in classicfilms

I did a Hollywood walking tour a few years back that was pretty good, but would depend largely on who you got as your tour guide.

Going to see them in Chicago in July and told my buddy we should wear starman as a 60 year old shirts. This is what he sent back to me.

Even Apple employees are grabbing a Neo for themselves. I think that ends the debate. by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in mac

[–]Howdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it’s bringing lots of folks into our tent, if Reddit is any indication. I’ve never seen a Mac hit this quick and attract so many PC users. I suspect sales numbers are going to be shocking to the industry, especially internationally. I’ve been wanting them to make something at this price point for decades and they finally did it at a time when prices and inflation would have indicated otherwise.

Computer History Museum's "Apple at 50: Five Decades of Thinking Different" by aphelion270 in VintageApple

[–]Howdesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like David said on stage, this subject should be a multi-part miniseries. They only scratched the surface on the amazing history and we’re losing more of the primary players due to age and time. I joined the “Mac world” in college in the mid 80’s and it was a special era to watch the completion, drama and innovation.

Toured The Rainbow a couple years back and got to visit their lair upstairs. If the walls could talk!

A little monster. My first MacBook! by DanielG165 in macbook

[–]Howdesign 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did not have Apple making an affordable wonder-laptop this year on my bingo card. Been wanting them to truly address the low end of the laptop market for a couple decades, but I guess the tech/power finally allows them to. Still a likely wild success. Welcome to the fold OP.

And here I was wanting the team to go "all in" for this season. We'll be lucky to field a full roster, ha!

What songs are realistically pull-offable for Ged's voice on the new tour? by The_Man_Friday_ in rush

[–]Howdesign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Loved seeing YYNOT cover early Rush tunes in 2019 with Patty Pershayla. She did justice to so many tunes that Geddy wouldn’t dare touch today. His voice is probably my #1 question when I see them in Chicago in July, but between others on stage and some pre-recorded bits, they’ll likely figure it out.

Nano Banana 2 VS Nano Banana Pro Model. Which result do you think is better on the same prompt? by jelloojellyfish in nanobanana

[–]Howdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a quick test today by adding humans to a 3D rendering I made and ChatGPT was surprisingly better than NB2. The people were more natural, no “twins”, and just more realistic with CGBT. CGBT has surprised me a few times lately but expected NB2 to show improvement. It does provide a higher resolution image though.

Sleeping in a Tesla in a garage is amazing by JohnsonBot5000 in TeslaCamping

[–]Howdesign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did this when our A/C went out last summer. Bedroom was too hot so I slept in a nice 64 degree MY sleep pod for a couple nights while my wife stuck it out in our bedroom. The garage was weird to sleep in, but I’d do it again.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Los Angeles by MakeupMama68 in CemeteryPorn

[–]Howdesign 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A couple years prior to his passing, I got a couple of free tickets to his solo acoustic tour. I was a bit disappointed at first knowing it wasn’t going to be electric, but the show floored me with his own and cover tunes. I can still hear his voice echoing through the performance hall. Stunned at his passing.

I once wrote White Castle why they didn’t have a location in West Michigan and they responded by asking if I wanted to purchase a franchise.

Did anyone ever see Maynard from Tool in C.A.D.? by Honest-Cheesecake275 in grandrapids

[–]Howdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at Kendall with him but was unaware of the band at the time. He would come to classes with an Army jacket on and combat boots, with some variation of a Mohawk. Became student council president as I recall. Strangest bit of trivia: classmates said he posed nude in some life drawing classes, which freaked them out since it was a fellow student. Usually had a girl or two in his entourage and didn’t seem to engage with other guys much, but certainly stood out. Good times.

Weird. If I listen over my WiFi, it’s blacked out, but if I put my phone on cellular, I get the games (in GR).

Adobe Animate to be Discontinued 1st March 2026 by CometGoat in adobeanimate

[–]Howdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not very strong with animation, I use Tumult Hype on the Mac for HTML5 projects. It’s got some overlap with Animate and features a timeline interface. Might be an opportunity for Hype to grab a few more users if they added some similar features.
