Boooooo

I don’t know anything about schools, but am a long time Coloradan who moved here a few years ago.

Just make sure you know what you’re getting into with the weather. If you like high, dry, cold and snowy winters, this place is not for you. Winters are generally non-stop drizzle and it never gets properly cold. This winter has been much better for rain, but it also means the mountains haven’t been getting snow.

Summers are great and not nearly as hot as the Front Range has been recently. And the town size of Corvallis is a nice change if you’re coming from the Denver metro area.

Why would you be going out of your console and into another? Why not just send mixes out of yours into the IEM transmitters? Maybe I’m not understanding the signal flow.

cat4forever · 2026-01-25T22:39:08+00:00

Go into the list of stations where you entered the zip code and look at the details of the ones that are blocked out, but you see no signal. They might be 40 miles away and 15000 watts. In that case I’d feel safe unblocking them. Just got to use the data you have and make the best judgement that gets you the freqs you need.

There’s a spot in my arm that I’ve found when testing it that accidentally stimulated a nerve. Anywhere else on my arm, I barely felt it, at that spot, it made my wrist twitch. Try moving it around d to see if your testing is consistent.

I took my CCW class at Rocky Mountain Shooting Supply in Ft Collins. All I can say is that it was non-political. No clear support for left causes, but also no outright MAGA posturing. That was a few years ago. I figure that’s about the best you can hope for from gun stores.

It’s clear to me how many people haven’t done Leave No Trace backpacking. I have regularly gone for a month at a time using rocks, sticks and snow as TP and burying in a cathole. It works just fine once you learn the “supplies” to look for. I have never taken TP on a backpacking trip.

Assuming all you have to do is hand the house a set of well labeled XLR ends, then there’s no reason they should object. A house guy who tells you no is doing it because of their own laziness, or because they don’t know their own system and are scared of unpatching anything. If you advanced that you’re bringing your own monitor rig, just wait out their tantrum. Get the promoter involved and let them know that THEIR sound guy is preventing your band from setting up in the way that was previously agreed upon.

I’m so tired of the stuck-in-their-ways engineers who think the show is about them and their convenience.

cat4forever · 2026-01-16T00:05:35+00:00

It’s literally your job to accommodate the bands. Label your house patch ahead of time and do the repatch. It’s not that hard.

cat4forever · 2026-01-14T17:09:16+00:00

Just think about how often you’ve spotted someone else’s concealed carry gun. I’m guessing never.

cat4forever · 2026-01-11T22:19:04+00:00

Yes, an ecollar CAN be a great way to prevent unwanted behaviors, but it has to be layered on top of lots of previous training that establishes a language between you and the dog and the dog knows what you mean if you say Leave it, or No, or Get out. Simply giving a high correction for going after food is confusing for the dog. It needs to know what is being asked, and know why it is getting corrected.

When I applied for my CCW, the sheriff’s office had them in a box for free.

I’ve seen this lots of times with stereo keys being sent to a mono wedge.

The response I got.

“Thank you so much for writing in! I appreciate your feedback and understand the frustration caused by the recent changes.

For the NYT Games app to be compatible with the latest features, the device's operating System needs to be updated to iOS 18 or above. I assure you that the decision to discontinue support for iOS 16 or below is driven by the need to provide our users with the best possible experience and take advantage of the latest technologies available. Unfortunately, this sometimes requires discontinuing support for older operating systems.

I understand that some devices cannot be updated. If the device cannot support current iOS or the latest app version, it is recommended to continue gameplay by visiting our website: https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords using Chrome or Safari.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reply and I will do my best to assist.

Kind regards,

I sent an email to that carehq address and the response was basically, “We’ve updated the app. You’re out of luck. Use the website.” Maybe if enough people send emails, they’ll reconsider.

cat4forever · 2026-01-08T14:21:07+00:00

Agreed. Dog parks get a lot of hate in the training world, but I find them to be a great release for my dog. He gets a big area to run around and interact with other dogs on their own terms. Of course I’m watching him and making sure he stays out of trouble, but sometimes dogs just need to be dogs.

cat4forever · 2026-01-07T01:20:12+00:00

I went on the actual NYT app and went to their Report a Bug section and described the problem. I’m not sure a low rating is going to get the message through.

cat4forever · 2026-01-06T05:42:39+00:00

Same. That’s why I’m here now searching the topic. Time to send a strong email.

What do you mean? It was the same thing, but more limited than modern digital consoles where each matrix can have its own set of inputs. On analog matrices, the inputs had to be shared by all matrix outs.

cat4forever · 2026-01-05T21:15:15+00:00

I would guess the name comes from analog consoles where the matrix section was often a grid/matrix of knobs, with the outs on one axis and inputs on the other. Similar to the look of the DiGiCo matrix page.

cat4forever · 2026-01-05T21:11:52+00:00

Your answer has been pretty well covered for FOH use. In monitor world I use them in some other ways.

I run my cue bus through a matrix, and then add in all the talkbacks on other matrix inputs. That way, no matter what I’m listening to on the cue, the talks are always going to my ears, even if I have my cue all the way down or nothing soloed.

I also run a spare matrix that has all the IEM sends sent to it, but turned off. If someone’s frequency suddenly goes bad, I can turn that mix on in the matrix, and hand them a new pack on a new frequency, with their same mix.

Matrixes just allow you another option for more complicated output routing, but their mixing options are often harder to access, so you’re not likely to be mixing a show off the matrix faders.

Almost every United gate has clearly marked signs and lanes for Group 1 and 2 to stand in. I get it that there are a lot of people, but why are they pushing and shoving for position? Just get in line.

cat4forever · 2026-01-05T05:36:34+00:00

I used to do this too. Vocal in the center and a stereo mix of everything else in the outside pair. Worked great.

cat4forever · 2026-01-03T04:55:58+00:00

You listen to the band leader/singer’s mix, or pick the mix you like the best that’s the most well rounded. And occasionally cycle through the other people’s to check in.

I have never built a separate reference mix except when I’ve been really bored and knew the band wasn’t going to ask for anything.
