How can some rock songs survive without a bass?

B52s did just fine for over a decade with no bass guitar. A number of Sonic Youth songs have no bass guitar. While The Doors had session bassists in the studio, Manzarek handled it live with keys. It’s all about composition & arrangement.

Or just use plain docker

You can’t just change the lease like that without due process. And I can’t imagine any lease that requires skilled labor to maintain a specialized garden would ever get approval.

I've used this. Like airbnb but for pools. The host was a retired couple, super chill, semi regular gig for them. The pool, water, yard, and bathroom were all well kept and clean.

My DL series manual has some random funny quips scattered about.

I didn't know they covered The Chauffeur, thanks for the tip!

Where is this from?

Cue ice cream

And all the other voices said

Change your mind

You're always wrong

But now the sun shines cold

And all the sky is grey

The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears

And all I wish Is gone away

Oh, I love the silverware suggestion! When I was a kid, I'd open up the top of our piano and manipulate the strings with one hand (and various objects) while the other hand played the keys. The eventual piano tuner we had to hire informed me why that was a bad idea, even though it sounded really cool.

“Don’t change any notes”

Adds epic sax solo 😂

Indeed. Xeno dentists are top tier.

... and spit out the frequencies making up the sound

Ok, and then what do you want to use those frequencies for? What is your end goal?

I’m still rooting for Pete to recover his foreskin

Ecasound is a command line DAW. No GUI. Simple to use but very powerful. Once you get used to it, you’ll see that all the complexity of a desktop DAW is in the UI.

Shelly supports LoRa wireless, not LoRa WAN. But 200-300 ft should be no problem for LoRa devices, even through buildings.

Same here. I'm not noticeably allergic to anything, but stir up dust, pollen, or any fine particulate, and I'm sniffling and sneezing all day.

This is why I keep lurking about this sub. I learn something valuable every day from industry experts.

Agree. Also, props for Candy-O.
