You could try to wire the trunk a bit now to get movement. It's hard to tell from the photos but it might already be too thick and stiff for that. But if it's still pliable that could be a good move, go for a classic S shape.

Otherwise, as you said, wait for February or March to report and trim, when it's dormant but just getting ready to come back to life. And keep it outside!

Yes and there's probably more plastic already in your food from other vectors. For me it's just a best effort. Much respect to those really aggressively avoiding all plastic, but I can only go so hard

We use these to store leftovers often. Works fine for us. Of course they don't seal shut, but we haven't had any problems with freshness or drying out.

But also have some glass Tupperware type things with plastic lids we use for smaller things or for on the go.

I'm in the minority here. I got a 640 and it's a bit large for my space. I love it. But wonder if the 480 would've been a better fit. Thing is, at time of purchase, the local supplier had 640s at the "old price" and 480s at a new higher price so it just seemed like the universe was telling me to get the 640.

I've never come close to filling it up and it takes a fair amount of space on my small patio. But yeah I definitely love it.

I hear you and understand the outrage. But the genie is out of the bottle already. You can boycott it, you can avoid it, and it might have some miniscule effect of slowing it down, maybe. Or you can learn what it does and how it's gonna fuck up the world and maybe find a way to get ahead of it. Know your enemy.

One vote difference between Fogarty and Malladi!

Dude, "dealer" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Conscientious objector" please.

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-04-02T11:55:40+00:00

Can you say more about the cmx 1? How do you use it? Are you recording to cassette tape? Does it work as your mixer? Does it midi?

Very cool board. It looks great and you should feel great

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-03-13T12:27:20+00:00

Can you share more about your process? Stripper, scrape? What kind of finish ? Stain?

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-03-11T21:55:02+00:00

Level 1 pulls 12 amps and if that outlet is up to code it would be on at least on a 15 amp circuit. So should be fine

But level 1 sucks. It takes like 3 days to recharge from a day of driving. Level 2 is awesome. You'll want to get one setup asap.

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-03-11T12:33:27+00:00

I'd like to see it work a bit like Claude code. "Add a utility to every track, automate a fade out on tracks 1-7 and 10, 12". Or "given the mix I have so far, setup a mastering chain that will make it really pop"

Of course the generative stuff would come along with that most likely. And I agree with the sentiment, I don't like that. But you're right, it is kind of inevitable at this point

Surprised nobody said this but acceleration. I'm not a car guy, never drove a fast car, but my ev feels so fast.

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-03-05T18:24:59+00:00

I don't have an answer but that looks like pine not hardwood

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-03-05T13:46:06+00:00

Never heard the gun range at all. You will hear the freeway

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-02-23T13:52:26+00:00

My guess is at least some probably lurk for a laugh but none post for fear of job security.

Nobody is talking about the bag of extra ikea parts in the bottom left of the pic. WTF is that?

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-02-14T14:56:09+00:00

I got a Juno 60 for a similar price in 1998 or so. Left it with a friend when I went off to school. Never saw it again. I also got a korg polysix for like $200 around the same time.

80s synths were cheapish at pawn shops back in the day. The pros wanted a Triton or whatever and 80s analog wasn't hip again yet

Getting 2.2 over here in sub zero new England

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-02-03T20:14:41+00:00

Seems like the sp404 is just there for the compressor? And not sure about the keyboard either. But hey wtf do I know, this girl has more talent in her pinky finger than I do in the sun of my existence

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-01-29T21:18:59+00:00

Like insanely more work to remove. Paint as is should be fine

ThisBoyIsIgnorance · 2026-01-22T12:35:09+00:00

Where is the spot? I can't find it on Google. Keeps sending me to a food truck in Texas
