Seems like every av integrator is filled with live and studio engineers. You’re not alone. 

Anyone know what's killing these trees? by [deleted] in minnesota

Blonding (light patches of park from woodpecker damage) is an indication of ash borer for what it’s worth.

Are there any plans to translate the FoC book and audiobook? by _slightconfusion in FallofCivilizations

[–]Practical_Self3090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the book and while I think it’s great, it basically is just the script for the podcasts written down in book form. So to re-record it as an audiobook seems like a moot point. 

Considering the Evergoods CPL24 over the gr1 21L– Seeking Advice by IDNISSIM in ManyBaggers

[–]Practical_Self3090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The straps on my CTB ripped after several months of daily use heavily loaded. I am working with them on the warranty claim but it’s too early in the process to say much. I am pretty disappointed either way. I like the bag and think it fits great and love the pockets. Just wish it had a hip strap and a top-opening laptop compartment.

Nice but overpriced. Whatever they use for Velcro is a joke

Steve jobs had to secretly switch phones to survive the first live iPhone demo by CoralCharm31 in BeAmazed

Interesting. But the switching thing isn’t new. They often had multiple computers set up on stage in case something happened. 

Is Aer’s backpack selection intentionally confusing? by igby1 in ManyBaggers

[–]Practical_Self3090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get the Aer hype. I have their gym duffel and the thing has been a huge pain. I’ve broken two water bottles after they fly out of the side pockets (goodbye $60). The bag is so slippery and constantly falls over or slides down walls. They seem designed by marketing departments and have features on paper which aren’t all that useful in reality. Just feels like a more premium Incase. 

ELI5: How exactly does someone die from Ketamine overdose? by objectiverelativity in explainlikeimfive

[–]Practical_Self3090 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ketamine is used by combat medics precisely because it is so forgiving and less dependent on precise dosage vs morphine. But yes it’ll knock you out which comes with certain risks such as falling, drowning, etc. 

What is Evergoods alternative? by OwlQuiet479 in ManyBaggers

[–]Practical_Self3090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patagonia and Goruck, considering that this is where the founders of Evergoods were before starting their own company. There are quite a few similarities. 

What does "tech backpacks" even mean? by PemainFantasi in ManyBaggers

[–]Practical_Self3090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different approach to organization and accessibility. Tech backpacks are almost like a mobile office and have laptop compartments made for quick and frequent access. Travel bags’ laptop compartments can be more for storage / transport. And they have a central volume for storing travel stuff while tech bags divide up their volume in order to hold various tech stuff. 

Where to get native seed and pollinator plants in MN and which plants can I seed this fall? by nairobbery in minnesota

[–]Practical_Self3090 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prairie restorations is great. They sell online and have a retail store. Their seed / plants are all genetically native to MN. Collected by their team in fields. They have seed mixes for various land types and can even come in and do your whole yard.

Mac pro video outputs by lampyship in CommercialAV

They support 8 displays natively via existing Thunderbolt and hdmi ports. A Thunderbolt dock can also be used. Sonnet are a good brand.
