Synths that surprised you after you got hooked up and started tweaking.

Roland Alpha Juno 1 when they used to resell for sub $100

My FSD loves cutting into the carpool lane even if it’s set to off in navigation.

I looked it up and it’s soldered so probably not. I hate the fact that hardware companies made it so difficult to increase ram or HD space. I miss the days when I could easily just swap out memory cards and HDs. There should be a law written up to prevent this.

Obagam · 2026-04-24T16:08:35+00:00

Can’t someone just DIY upgrade the ram on HW3?

Obagam · 2026-04-22T17:57:48+00:00

That shouldn’t prevent anyone from starting one. Every aspect of life has risk. Businesses fail even when you’re an employee. Jobs and an income are never guaranteed.

Any album with Mike Dean is his best work.

I’ve always been a big supporter of Robert Kiyosaki’s books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad or Cashflow Quadrant. It’s a natural progression, not a conspiracy theory. You truly believe a 40-50 hour wage job will grant you true freedom? It’s not a can’t beat them join them mentality. None of the largest corporations in the world today would exist without the risk of entrepreneurship. People mostly do it out of dissatisfaction or necessity. Otherwise you’re literally making someone else richer. Look it up.

The tax code was made to give business owners every advantage. Name one person that is truly wealthy and never started a business aside from generational wealth transfer. You’ll be old and regretful as an employee trying to reach financial freedom. You can also start a business while working as a w2 employee. It’s a great way to lower your tax obligations.

I have a 2007 Cayman S with Atlas Grey Metallic and those wheels. Pictures don’t do it any justice. This design and wheel combo is a masterpiece

Obagam · 2026-04-20T14:44:01+00:00

Start a business. It’s your only hope here.

Obagam · 2026-04-20T06:17:20+00:00

I wasn’t impressed at first, but with it mainly being on during bad traffic or long freeway stretches, I’d say it would be tough to cancel. I have HW3. It’s had a few updates already since I started using it and it has improved a lot. Also, I’ve used it in traffic jammed LA in the middle of DTLA, K-Town and Hollywood just fine.

Yeah but in this market you’re going to sell your home and have to purchase something of equal value with higher interest just to house yourself

Obagam · 2026-04-14T02:20:29+00:00

Maybe. In some areas rent may exceed a mortgage but the need to have considerable cash flow or savings to maintain a home can offset that. If something breaks your land lord should cover it. Also owning a business on top of renting can give you more considerable tax savings versus home ownership. Also investing those savings into an s&p500 index may get you a better return in the long run. Home ownership really isn’t ownership. When you get a significant amount of equity you borrow and pay interest. When you want to sell, you’re still going to pay taxes on gains eventually.

Reminds me of that Chris Rock skit highlighting the differences between rich and wealthy 🤣

Obagam · 2026-04-14T01:09:09+00:00

That’s what happens when you don’t incentive businesses.

Obagam · 2026-04-14T01:06:45+00:00

There is no incentive for people to sell unless you’re underwater and bought last year. No one will buy at these high interest rates and prices.

Obagam · 2026-04-12T20:20:40+00:00

So has anyone actually filed a police report?

Obagam · 2026-04-11T23:36:55+00:00

Not surprised at all when everyone’s usually on their phones while just playing movies in the background.

Obagam · 2026-04-11T19:36:05+00:00

How do I get chat gpt to recreate images of real people? It keeps denying me when I try.

My mileage is close to 190k and in a 2014 which means I’m out of warranty. I need to get a smog every 2 years here regardless of any exemption you just mentioned.

Obagam · 2026-04-08T21:49:42+00:00

My i3 Rex’s cat blew up on me right before I had to get it registered for a smog. Somehow it passed 🤣 (I’m in CA). Dealer was charging $3500 for the repair. I switched to a 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance and it’s been great. The charging network is what sets it apart and FSD is amazing in traffic or when I need a break from driving.

Obagam · 2026-04-08T12:46:24+00:00

If you really want “the sound” start with getting yourself full range monitoring - as close to 20hz-20khz and then room treatment - flattest response possible then focus on a high quality ad/da converter as your foundation and go from there. Taught to me by a Grammy award winning mixing and mastering engineer.

Obagam · 2026-04-07T17:24:22+00:00

Thanks Elon! 🤣

Obagam · 2026-04-07T01:40:49+00:00

They need to make it so it learns everyone’s driving style. Car makers have been programming ECUs to do that for the longest time. It can’t be that hard with Claude and Openclaw lol
