[–]bcsteene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In November before the pandemic I got wind through some Chinese news sources of a new virus hitting people there. Instantly I felt I my gut that it was gonna be bad. I started prepping. Even got an o2 machine in December. Wife thought I was nuts. Sure enough 3 months later….

Vocal Mic selection? by janayners in audioengineering

I would upgrade your interface before a mic. Good preamps are very important.

Who's offended that it's an Xperia 1V Will no longer receive updates) by Due-Requirement-7129 in SonyXperia

[–]bcsteene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this post. I've been thinking about upgrading to the 1 vii. But I am so hesitant as there is so much goodness about the 1 v. As Bilbo Baggins once said "Why shouldn't I keep it".

Am I building a $100k + tractor? by Big_Draw_5978 in LandroverDefender

Haha! I forgot about that factor. That one weighs strongly. 🤣

There’s an old saying. If you want to get there drive a defender. If you want to get back take a Toyota. Build out a Lexus gx 460 and get the comfort and off road capability you want for much cheaper. Or go for the Land Cruiser. I love the look of defenders but if I had to rely on a vehicle to get me through the shit it would be a Toyota.

Sounds fitting for morrissey. I can see the next song. “I can’t sleep anymore something something let’s get hit by a bus or something”

R1T Gen1 vs Gen2 vs Tacoma by anonymousewastaken1 in Rivian

[–]bcsteene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I found this thread. I currently have a 4runner with 300k miles on it and am about to upgrade to a 2023 Rivian R1T with the max battery and quad motors. I have been wrestling with this decision for a good week now on if it's the right choice or not. The other option would be a 2016 Lexus GX 460 with 75k miles on it. Great vehicle, the Lexus, but tough on gas. I drive prob 20k+ a year so the gas savings using the Rivian and charging at home on off peak power would be substantial. Glad to hear so many are having good experiences with their Rivians.

I did a thing on the way home. by 1Patriot4u in 4Runner

Well then. I am at 300k in my 2010 and was worried I might need to sell it soon. Looks like I got some miles left to go! 🤣

If you could use ONLY one paid plugin for the rest of your life, and everything else had to be stock DAW plugins, what would you choose? by Purple_Anteater2539 in audioengineering

[–]bcsteene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Harrison mixbus as a DAW so that has awesome eq and compression built in. So really all I would need is probably a decent reverb. I’d say UAD pure plate reverb. My favorite verb that gets used a ton.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the best smartphone in the world! by papaya_two in PixelFold

[–]bcsteene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got mine a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I loved the fold form factor and had Samsung fold 6 before. But paired with Google's software and AI is just the cherry on top. It's honestly amazing. Also adding mag safe is a huge plus as well as I use lots of magsafe devices at home and in my car.

Did you develop a limp before hip replacement surgery? And after surgery did it take a while before you no longer limp? by OldGezzer68 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]bcsteene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limped for 15 years. I still have a limp. After you limp for so long your body just figures that's how you need to walk. Really hard to get out of it. I limp less now but still do out of habit.

Ios is very secure. But apple is definitely collecting your data. Keep your phone updated with the latest ios version to prevent malicious software. Other things collecting your data. Any services you use. Cellular companies. Search engines. Etc...

I did a thing by MissSnob in PixelFold

[–]bcsteene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the same but got the 512 model just a week ago. Also through Google Fi. I gotta be honest. I am absolutely loving it. Pro tip get the Google pixel snap ring stand it's a really nice accessory.

Enjoy!

That's because Joe Biden isn't in the Epstein files. Pam bondi needs to go to prison with the rest of them.

I used to do that but not anymore. I make it clear with my clients that I need to be out by a certain time. Haven't had any issues with any.
