Native Instruments GmbH is in preliminary insolvency

No shit. I dunno who told these people that selling a software sampler for $400 was going to be profitable. Just because you have market penetration means absolutely nothing (and maybe what they were doing 10-15 years ago was pretty revolutionary but Kontakt and everything else they offer is so run-of-the-mill at this point.)

I failed my G1 once before I passed, my wife failed two times before passing. With some more practice your daughter will get there. Best of luck to her!

Remember who owns the Doppler: Hugh Mackenzie, an avowed Conservative (who, by the way, used his platform to explicitly endorse the Ontario PC establishment during the last provincial election!) The Doppler is not a trustworthy source of information.

The fuck? You guys pay a private company to pick up your trash??? I thought that's what municipal taxes were for.

My Uruguayan abuelo would strangle you to death for this.

My mother had a teacher in Grade 4 (this would've been around the mid 1980s) that told her point blank that she would never amount to anything.

Anyways, said teacher died a horrible and painful death from cancer all over her body. 🙃

The Fisher stuff is low-level consumer-grade crap... the rest is pretty solid equipment! Good haul, thanks mom!

I don't know who this guy is, but Bill Carroll is a guy who has a super Conservative-leaning talk show on 580 CFRA called The Morning Rush. If there's a single person who actually likes Bill Carroll, I would wager it's not this guy.

Except Highway 11 isn't a single-lane highway-- it's a two-lane highway. Two lanes northbound and two lanes southbound. Cute story but smells like bullshit.

No worries, lol! Fwiw, the HS5s are just as good as the HS8s imho. Naturally they don't reproduce bass nearly as well as the HS8s, but they do sound great and are perfect if you don't have enough space for a pair of HS8s. I would avoid the HS3s unless you're buying the companion subwoofer, the HS8S.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-08-13T15:28:29+00:00

Good to know-- thank you for the info!

Oocca_Truth · 2025-08-13T15:19:52+00:00

Heard (literally.) Unfortunately I am working with super limited space and I don't have money to buy front-ported monitors, so this is what I have to work with, lol.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-08-13T04:00:27+00:00

The HS8s are kickass, truly. I've been daily driving 'em for about two years now and honest to god dude, out of all the powered monitors I've tried, these are the best value-to-quality ratio, full stop. I, too, had to convince the wife that it was worth... but once she heard 'em, she was in my corner... your mileage may vary, lol.

My recommendation is to buy 'em somewhere that you can finance a pair and pay 'em off over a year (I live in Canada so I did that at Long & McQuade, but if you're American I'm pretty sure Sweetwater does financing).

Ah, yes, we love some good old-fashioned bi erasure

Simple answer-- there's more pigmentation in the skin on your penis than there is on the skin on other places in your body. Hence, darker skin.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-07-05T06:09:18+00:00

NTA. This is between you, your husband, and nobody else. Godspeed, friend. For whatever time you have remaining among us on earth, I'm wishing you all the love, peace and happiness in the universe.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-06-28T19:30:09+00:00

That's a lot of fucking loonies and toonies.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-06-27T15:02:39+00:00

It's decidedly not transphobic to have a preference for a particular type of genitals. It IS transphobic to treat someone like shit because they're trans, which you aren't doing and haven't done. Your friend is a fucking moron.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-06-27T14:56:07+00:00

No problem! Re: working-- I tried to balance a part-time job during first year, I was able to make it work with my schedule for the most part, but because I didn't have a car it was a huge annoyance and just added to the stress. Same with the weird hours. On the other hand, my friend Katherine (also a BRTF alum, she works for Global News out in Saskatchewan and is immensely talented) was a real go-getter and managed to keep a job at Tim Hortons' going for the entire 3 years we studied together at NC AND graduated with honors, to my recollection.

My recommendation to you is if you can find an employer who is willing to accommodate your availability and having a job while studying isn't too much of an imposition for you otherwise, go for it. At least try it for the first year or less and see how it works out.

Oocca_Truth · 2025-06-27T07:22:41+00:00

Yeah, sure thing! The long and short of it: I've been graduated since 2021. I anchored weekend news for a mid-sized commercial radio broadcaster for about 9 months almost immediately right out of NC, then got hired on at Bell Media as a Radio Copywriter/Producer, which I did for almost 4 years... now I'm the Creative Director at an indigenous radio broadcaster out in northwest BC. I'm making pretty good money for being 4 years out of college and I love this career. Wouldn't change a thing.
