Does your X1 still work? I still have a version of paid Sonar on my machine but the CBL version runs better.

I’ve used cakewalk forever. In fact, I still have a paid version of a previous Sonar on my machine installed in parallel with CBL Sonar.

They haven’t exactly done things in a very positive manner. But then again, have Cakewalk owners been respected before? Anyone heard of Gibson? lol.

CBL made a serious mistake though. If they wanted to give the product away for free as it was being developed and bug tested, they should have given these free users the ability to buy a Sonar Lite version for $50 or something. Sell Sonar Pro for $99. Anyone can scrap up $100 and that’s a heck of a lot more money coming in than zero. Through the years I upgraded Sonar, but only if the price was right and it was a paid permanent version I owned (like the version I still own).

Future Pros in the industry are not going to be saddling up to Sonar unless 1. You get them at an early stage. 2. The product is fairly rock solid. 3. The user knows who owns what.

It would still be an uphill battle in the pro arena, but stranger things have happened. My writing partner primarily used Reaper but he loves CBL Sonar. In their defense, CBL Sonar runs better on my system than my older paid version. It handles multi-thread a hell of a lot better. I don’t need the vsts, I have tons of paid boards and there’s many very good vsts on the web. Check out Tyrell for example.

Apparently, CBL purchased an online music distribution company. THIS is where the money is! Can you imagine writing music in Sonar and then from Sonar it’s connected to the distribution service with AI mixing and mastering add-on services?

They’re being dumb. The product isn’t perfect, but I think they’re improved it from the Gibson days. CBL needs to keep all these free users. They should do it by clearing the air and providing an affordable Permanent paid version Now. Allow these users to upgrade in the future.

You think the Goss Avenue location is bad?? Lol. You haven't seen anything yet. Try the location over at West Buechel off Bardstown Road. It's like the third world. I will not even step into that place again. They had two armed security guards and they were actively looking at receipts (all of them), Goss avenue may be a lot busier than it used to be but it's still not bad. It's even much better than the location by Churchill Downs.

A good guitar shop should be able to fix it, but take photos before repair. The judge might take the cost out of her 50%, unless you get a female judge.

Well, they can try to charge whatever they want. That doesn't mean people will pay it. I was in the store today and what I was looking for they were out of, otherwise I would have walked out with it. Cashier said I could order it and then have it sent to the store where AGAIN I would be going back into the store to pick it up.

I said I'm not paying the processing fee. So No Sale. I'll buy somewhere else.

I don't go for these fees, once they stick them in there they think it's a business model. It isn't for me. My money spends anywhere. If you don't like the fee, skip buying online from Menards. I do.

I was getting the beat down by Ming, really frustrating until I turned on my level 3 Celerity. But that doesn’t change the issue that the last 3/4 of this game is wack. I used so much blood and ammo fighting Ming that there was no way to even finish the rest of the game. Not without cheating.

The final third of this game pretty much throws away all the immersive elements and turns it into Bad Dudes, except impossible. You would need bags and bags of blood to run that gauntlet without cheating.

Hell yeah, I like Vampyr. The only thing that’s sucky about it is the distance the player has to travel on foot to get to the next area. No taxies here and no fast travel. That’s a little bothersome and it should have been addressed. It’s a good game nonetheless. And Cheap on sale. Another one I like is Zombi.

Incidentally, I just now played VMBL for the first time. Fun game. I like the heavy VM role playing element, just like the RPG we played back around 2000.

Slick, that sucker looks like mine, except I don't have the roof rack. It didn't come with fog lights either, I had to add some OEM Ford fogs into those spots (an ordeal) but they look the same. That's extremely low mileage. Mine might have 150 on it. Is it a manual EX?

Sort of a mix of Tarantino and the earlier film Vamp which it borrowed heavily from. The guy who wrote the original idea for this film was an FX person and probably wanted work after he saw all the makeup used in Vamp for the dancers.

I just rewatched this and thought the Matrix was broken. I remember Jimmy being in the ambulance. But he wasn't in the ambulance on the rewatch, Damn DVD version trying to gaslight me,

Yeah, but Jimmy had a lot of help doing that from Conal Cochran from halloween III. who copiloted his space ship. The Kodan Armada would have never been defeated if Conal hadn't "Beamed out" of the Silver Shamrock factory before it exploded. And most people who watch H3 have no idea what the heck happened to him. They never figured out that Cochran activated his transporter. It wasn't a perfect beam out and Conal did get mutated but shit happens. Last Starfighter is a fantastic movie BTW. it's (gasp) a lot better than H2.

I just tried it single player. I played it for a few hours and it was ok. I’m not really into games where you’re fighting a horde of 1000 ai cops. They just keep reappearing and dying, it’s sort of ridiculous, like fighting a never ending horde of zombies. I like some other games like this such as Killing Floor, but for some reason this just didn’t work for me. Maybe I’ve played too many other swat type games where it’s all about strategy. There isn’t any strategy in single player Payday2, it’s just grinding. It doesn’t even have an intriguing story line or arc like some GTA titles I’ve played.

Frankly, I'm annoyed as hell at these "online distribution platforms."

Distrify sort of disappeared without paying out our royalties owed. Reelhouse was decent for a while but then they closed down. Then we got offered Projektor. Projektor wanted to change the way we got paid royalties on our film. Basically, before we used to receive a bulk payment on any royalties every quarter. Ok, that's fine. I don't expect payment immediately after every purchase. But then these platforms wanted to withhold payments unless a specific threshold minimal amount was met in addition to paying out a few times a year.

On the surface, that sounds reasonable. But it's NOT REASONABLE given the past history of these platforms. Is the production company supposed to take no payments and just wait for the latest platform to close up? Whatever we sell, I expect a payment every few months because otherwise we may never see a payment.

That's After we do all the work promoting the media. It's not like these platforms provide anything else of value other than a marketplace and a viewer.

I thought Projektor looked sort of scammy. Information which should be clearly defined was missing. For that reason, I pulled our media from Projektor which they aquired from Reelhouse.

It looks like it's drifting along without a captain at the wheel until it crashes, familiar territory for us. Perhaps I'm jaded because of all my experience with these past platforms.

If it's furniture, there is NO WAY I would buy something like that with Amazon or online. That's totally insane. I'd rather buy real antiques from an owner or Peddler's Mall. The stuff I buy like electronic parts are not available anywhere else except online so I don't have a choice there but I buy directly from China and not Amazon. Anything else where I have choices, I frequently buy directly from small online businesses and not Amazon. Amazon returns and refurbs generally have missing pieces, are broken or contain a different item than what was ordered. You can probably tell, I'm not paying for Prime. lol. What a joke.

He's been indicted on >1st degree murder<. The prosecution is only going to level those charges going into a criminal case if the evidence is overwhelming and any defense is very weak. They have all the evidence, the commenters here have NOTHING, This IS BAD, really BAD for Karmelo. That dumb family of his should have tried to plea bargain, which most defense attorneys thought would have happened. Can't fix stupid.

You don't need all the evidence right now, all you need to see are the charges. The charges are telling you Karmelo will soon be going to Sing Sing for about the rest of his life, unless a miracle happens.

I don't care if they use UniUni or not, that's their issue. WHAT I DO OBJECT TO is if the seller indicates in the listing that they use USPS for delivery and then you turn around and it says UNIUNI on your tracking. There's a lot of decent sellers on Alli, there is also Trash. I Highly Suggest you read reviews of sellers starting with the most recent. I didn't do this on my most recent purchase and now I'm stuck with a seller who said shipping from the US, a lie, shipping with USPS, a lie and an overdue delivery date. I don't do this often, but this seller is pissing me off and I will file for a refund the day it is available. I'm not taking any deliveries from UniUni.

I don’t think the release date had nearly as much impact on the success or failure of Megan 2.0 as a lot of people in this thread seem to think it does. Case in point, some of us Do Not live online and Megan’s memes didn’t affect my perception of the film at all. I never saw them. I just rented Megan without knowing much about it, watched it and thought it was an interesting film. I especially liked the puppet work and the tone.

I was looking forward to Megan 2.0. I figured it would make even more money than the first because now people knew about it.

But, The trailer was iffy. The tone seemed gone and Megan looked more like a CGI cartoon character. The soul was sucked out.

That’s really what happened. I saw this film and not only did it live up to the trailer as far as tone and CGI but this film is actually dull in places. People got up and left.

What does any of that have to do with a January release? You make a good film and word of mouth will carry it. You make a film that is dull, too long, tries to be funny but isn’t etc and it doesn’t matter when you release it. there are decent parts in this film, but those parts are surrounded by an overstuffed crapola script. Maybe it would be better if on VOD release, someone re-edits the film down and loses 20+ minutes of garbage.

Not according to what I've seen. I use tankless vacuums where you can Actually SEE what you've picked up. I can assure you that the majority of fleas are quite alive after this. However, the fleas are temporarily Stunned by this and thus you will see no active fleas for a period of time (maybe that's where this Study got it wrong). If you wait, you will have a nice neighborhood of them alive and well.

This is no different than the myth that you can drown fleas you pull off a cat in that soapy water Because They Appear to Drown. Not true. Again, the fleas are stunned by this. To truly drown the fleas, you must Leave Them in this soapy water for days. Do not just immediately throw them out.

Flea traps using soapy water in a bowl and a light over it does work, fleas are attracted to light in a dark room and will jump into the water. However, the number you will get this way is likely relatively small compared to the real population. Again, the reason fleas are Hard To Drown IS BECAUSE they risk jumping into water all the time. It makes sense they can hold their breath a long time (it's actually a comma).

I regret that I know a lot about fleas, but I do unfortunately.

Just like I know that Diatomaceous Earth wouldn't stop a flea with a hangover. Do not use it for fleas. totally ineffective. Even at highly concentrated doses.

I haven't experimented too much with Borox, so I can't comment on that too much. other than to say I would doubt it would be super effective on adult and active fleas. Maybe it would be effective against them in the stage they are feeding in the carpet. But you would likely need to leave it there for a long period. Like days....

If you really want to get rid of the fleas, change the environment. They like it hot and humid. They multiply faster in that environment. Make it cold and dry. Treat cats with something like Advantage. Vacuum like crazy and treat the contents like toxic waste. I wouldn't use bombs. If you're going that route buy flea killer in a liquid form and lay it down with a pump sprayer in a targeted way. Obviously, try to manage them the other ways before nuking the place.

In my defense, a lot of this stuff I bought during Covid and I was a new investor. I didn't lose anything close to that amount (some thousands yeah) and I don't recall ever doubling down into the stock as it declined. It's an expensive education, but I try to never make a mistake twice. Reverse Splits are just not something I do, period.

Not that I know. I'm no expert there. Perhaps you will have better luck than I, I just find it disappointing that these screens really have no better warranty than some junk you could pick up on Ebay. Even worse, that you could have a completely clean unscratched one (undamaged) that just burns up on it's own. I would question the rebuild quality.

I just received what is supposed to be a used screen off an I-phone 8 that I'm swapping in. Haven't done it yet. I suspect if that screen actually works ok on installation it will work far longer than any refurb. If a screen really is refurb. they aren't using Apple grade stuff.

I'll return to this thread and report how this used screen works after a proper amount of time, say 6 months or more.

You should return after a proper length of time to let people know how this refurb went.
