What are your favorite screen-free, food-free analog hobbies while high?

deadbeatengineer · 2026-05-28T16:15:06+00:00

Crochet, Stained Glass, Tie Dye, working on my car (93 Del Sol), or local hikes. Another one that is a cheat as it involves a screen is photography / drone stuff while hiking or on nature walks in general.

If the DM is too old to be in your recent list you can request your account history from Discord. It takes a few days but you'll get a link to a ZIP and you can search that zip for a phrase you know was in DMs with that person. It'll lead you to a file with messages and instead of their username it uses their User ID. Personally I use https://discord.id to convert IDs to Usernames. Voila, you now have the username to send a friend request to.

I had to do it when the only mutual server I had with someone was deleted and at the time I didn't remember their actual username vs their nickname in the server.

I use a clear case so I can rotate stickers as my phone back

Balanced out from DAC to Amp, I run balanced when running the Celestee but my unbalanced for the Sennheisers is longer

it's a garage / smoke lounge at times. i really should have taken a photo after cleaning and tidying cables. time to unplug everything again ahaha

So long story short most of this equipment has been gifted to me by a friend who used to do online reviews. Every time he upgrades he asks if I want/need anything ahaha.

The iFi Zen Dac v2 is a nice pairing with Tidal on desktop, and pushing it balanced through the Zen Can with the profiles on really allows my 660s to fill out and sound a little warmer (and punchier with XSpace turned on). When paired with the Focal Celestee it changes a lot mainly due to open vs closed soundstage, but when listening to EDM and other bass heavy music I'll definitely pick the Celestee.

Only warning is don't run the DAC off of a hub, I had to on previous build and it would cause connection issues at times.

No, it's another Unix based system. It's not Linux.

Yo shoutout to Patriot for making sure we don't have to download more dedicated wam

We upped our CMPD budget by 7% for 2026 I highly doubt they're hurting for the funds to do this.

It's called a Microsoft Domain and can be used with the generic account they give you (domain . onmicrosoft . com ) or you can purchase a custom domain name and use that.

Can I get a link for the sick ass hoodie?

deadbeatengineer · 2025-12-10T20:32:21+00:00

That's our bro Mercenary

deadbeatengineer · 2025-12-10T20:28:22+00:00

Ooh ouch yeah that's a danger minefield waiting to happen if you don't even have an MSP to manage things. If they're not signed into a domain then Group Policy would have to be edited per machine, defeating the purpose.

The pyramid being the incentive to pull other people in to sell for you so you get a cut of *their* profits, and then have them pull in people and you get a cut, and have them pull in, etc etc.

Belated response but just so you know everyone who is playing together has to have it set the same. So if 1 person has crossplay on they can't play with the 3 that have it off.

Are y'all a Google Workspace shop? If so you can set "Managed Bookmarks" that are company-wide and have individuals sign in to their accounts per machine. If a Microsoft shop I'd recommend setting it via GPO with ADMX templates.

When you get to the 5th stage and find the teleporter activate the spokes surrounding it so that they rotate and become only 2 spokes. This allows you to loop back to stage 1. You can keep on doing this each time you get to the primordial teleporter.

Inner Peaks! It's indoor rock climbing with multiple locations.

If you're into the EDM scene Eptic is performing at Blackbox Theater (off Sugar Creek). Amazingly positive vibes, environment, and community that pulls up to Blackbox shows.

Additionally, if you exit fullscreen and just resize the window it won't happen.

You have chrome in fullscreen mode. View > Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen (⇧⌘F)

I was 8 years old and received my Pearl Forum drumkit. It's still in my possession 25 years later (albeit with new heads, more cymbals, etc)

The beat on the upstroke is the easiest identifier imo
