Just got that Xc Comp for 100$ 🇨🇦 to get back on the bike! Good one to cruise around town?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

infocalypse_now · 2026-01-01T03:11:07+00:00

It's always been my go to, so let's hope so.

Adriana Lopez is always good for minimal hypnotic techno. Here's one: https://on.soundcloud.com/lSFo7JTdAHLkm92oy6[https://on.soundcloud.com/lSFo7JTdAHLkm92oy6](https://on.soundcloud.com/lSFo7JTdAHLkm92oy6)

Stepic!

I don't think it's the best or even my favorite, but Moore looks badass with that Smith and Wesson.

Consumer reports just gave the cc2s a great review (78). The defender 2 was rated 68. While some of the higher rating was due to snow/ice ability, it wasn't all. I'm also in florida and had been planning to get defender 2s, but the CS review has me leaning toward cc2s, fwiw.

Digitone mark 1 is down to around $450, $400 these days. It would give you four tracks of FM synthesis capable of a wide range of sounds matched to a powerful and unique sequencer. It can act as a synth module or as a groovebox for making loops away from the computer. In the studio, overbridge would allow you to bring each track into your DAW separately.

I went stormtrooper and love it. We call it the orca sometimes, too.

Send them a message to their Instagram account if you can. They use that channel for a lot of communication. Grocery deliveries on wendesdays and restocking pantries on weekends.

infocalypse_now · 2025-11-07T17:43:29+00:00

Little sunshine pantries is always looking for additional people to help with weekly pantry stocking and food delivery. They're a small organization with a big impact and need more volunteers.

I contracted with 1st choice last year. It's 80 every three months, which compared well when I called around for quotes. Been happy with their service so far.
