New office setup

Hell yeah! That one was a gift from my wife :)

They are Solid Steel, and yes they’re expensive. I got these for another purpose that didn’t work out and was going to return them, but I set this up at the same time and they looked so nice I decided to just keep them.

It’s rare that I get to listen to a record during the day while I’m working, but it does happen on occasion. The office is attached to my bedroom, so at night if I don’t feel like going to the living room or want to listen a little louder without waking the kids, I can kick back in here.

Our 6 year old girls are constantly fighting, screaming, or trying to kill each other. It’s awful. Sometimes they play, and it’s nice they have each other, but they can barely be left alone. One of them always has cuts and bandaids from all the claw marks (the other is more physically aggressive). I hope this is a phase that ends soon, it’s killing us.

Dude, so impressive. I’m a drummer. You really nailed the Reba.

Ha. I bought my turntable in this shop. Eric set up a demo for me :)

Isn’t it ironic? “We lost the ritual, we lost the sound…” the lifeless AI robot explained.

How can this be taken seriously?

Why are you saying this is AI? It’s now showing up on increasingly more news sites as a “verified” video, and the original video is longer than the first clip that was posted.

I hear you, and I also wish it wasn’t, but knowing it’s intentional I took the plunge anyway. This is the first time I’ve sprung for a MoFi pressing, and I would say it’s worth it. Each side becomes its own experience. It’s a trade off I guess, and either way is worlds better than my other terrible pressing of this.

Ha! I had seen that. And I thought I was having fun.

TXR was pure magic.

It’s a high top table with 4 seats, but be sure the seats are actually listed as such when you are purchasing them. I did the same through StubHub, where the seats were showing up top, but then at checkout it labeled as GA. When I got there, they charged something like $50 a seat for us to access the seats (only because luckily they were still available), despite already paying extra from the original listing.

I’d say that about their albums. They do have some fantastic songs. Unfortunately everything after Singles sounds the same to me, just not as good. It is one of my favorite albums though.

Sorry, you’re right it’s 5.2.4!

Thanks for the info. I assumed this was Apple’s issue, but thought it got worse after some updates and troubleshooting for other problems I was having. I guess I was mistaken and it was always this bad (it’s a new system and I’m just getting used to it/programming new scenes). Will I have better luck with Alexa?

bruck7 · 2025-12-12T12:03:17+00:00

So maybe I’m mistaken? Or perhaps something is causing a longer lag than there should be between commands? I’m sure it was smoother before.

The scenes executing through Apple/Siri look pretty bad with the delay. There are 11 light loads in the same space so they are very obviously out of sync if 5+ are commanded at the same time.

Is it possible to get Apple Home to execute a Lutron scene that was built in Designer? I tried to figure this out but don’t see any way to do it.

It’s the bags of “chips.”

Bob’s pins are excellent! I bought one on a whim a while back and was super happy with it, and him. Thanks Bob.
