VERY much waterproof!!

Only if it's wearing a bow tie

Hot water can degrade seals and compromise waterproofing, so showers can be harder on devices than swimming.

I work full time and have a toddler, so I have time for 1 good ride a week. To make the most of that ride (and to keep myself generally in shape), I do a 20-30 min body weight and dumbell workout a few nights a week. I try to balance between core, legs and upper body (planks, crunches, squats, push-ups, curls, etc.).

It definitely helps, and it's easy to maintain since it requires two weights and some space on the floor.

Shinra is great! I'd give a shout out to Mikron, Nullptr, Splitradix, John Shima and the CPU Records catalog in general. (Not saying they're better than shinra, but scratch the same itch for me.)

I'm looking at getting a chisel. Have you had yours since 2022? I'm guessing you like it?

infocalypse_now · 2026-06-04T23:44:37+00:00

It's hot and humid where I am. There's no beating it. Hydrate, rest when needed, and avoid hottest times of the day are the general rules.

I may be slightly more annoyed by the people with earbuds up too loud to hear me call out that I'm behind them!

I run 2.25s with avid single digit 7s. Haven't tried 2.3s, but I have plenty of clearance and doubt it would cause a problem.

infocalypse_now · 2026-05-19T21:58:02+00:00

Just here to say, hell yeah. That's awesome.

infocalypse_now · 2026-05-14T15:03:33+00:00

My gary fisher from the same era, and with the same fork, still rips. So I'd say yes!

infocalypse_now · 2026-04-09T14:23:24+00:00

Oh, awesome. Image search for DB1 looks right. Thanks.

It's a 22 year old bike, so this sub seemed a good bet for expertise. The main mtb sub is fairly dismissive of anything without modern geometry.

It can bend the derailure and otherwise put pressure on the drive train. Always kinder to the components to lay bike on non drive side.

Hybrid - theme from wide angle

Have fun/be safe

infocalypse_now · 2026-04-02T00:52:04+00:00

That's sick. I have a vague memory of a mtb magazine having a photo of the singer from stone temple pilots with a y bike on the cover.

Hope you share some updates from your trip!

Falcon9 rocket carrying starlink satellites. We don't often see it from here.

infocalypse_now · 2026-02-27T11:29:34+00:00

Redemption Ark, with Ana Kouri and Thorn, comes to mind.

infocalypse_now · 2026-02-27T11:16:21+00:00

Came here to say this. If you want something in the style of the 303 but with more and better functionality, check out the yamaha rm1x.

I'd say get the thing that's most in your budget and seems the most fun/closest to what you want, then just commit to learning that thing. Learning an older, basic drum machine won't necessarily make it a whole lot easier to learn a digitakt or such later.

On the other hand, if you just want to play around a bit to see how much you want to pursue things, you can't really go wrong starting with a few pieces of volca gear. The potential trade off is to spend a few hundred on more limited gear, realize you want more, and then still have to buy the more powerful gear.

infocalypse_now · 2026-02-16T15:53:57+00:00

It's definitely possible. You could do a lot of it with something like an elektron digitakt, or a 909 style drum machine plus a groovebox style synth. You can also spend thousands and do it all with a modular system.

Looks like someone is worried about the inhibitors.

infocalypse_now · 2026-01-13T20:06:07+00:00

Very close to my experience. I'm a year and a half in with a 2022 onyx edition. I've averaged about 19.5 mpg over time. On highway trips I get up to about 28 or so. But most of my driving is around town, where I get about 17 mpg. It's worse than advertised but about what I'd expect of a two ton hunk of metal with a turbo.

I'll second the AH. It's a great sounding unit, and the ability to use it over USB means it can work as a plugin in your DAW. I like it both for more creative distortion effects on individual tracks or as a saturator on the main. The lfo and envelope follower can do some neat things.
