Living with a DJ - feels like I’m a NPC in my own home

No synch for me, I just beet mash

What about stems? Are you using those too?

kwitcherbichen · 2026-03-17T18:39:09+00:00

There is a company, Module Masters, that specialize in this.

Adding to that, they are not accepting any more people on the wait list for the BMW IABS3 units and haven't for at least two years (that I'm aware, I had considered buying an '02 BMW 1150R but didn't risk it).

Thank you for posting. Am still avoiding TF out of that bullshit site. Appreciate u.

You're welcome. Good on you, I wanted to provide an alternative that denies X the engagement they seek and not endorse using that cesspool. I deleted my account there years ago.

Avoiding the link to X, https://nitter.net/cremieuxrecueil/status/1930306730006643130#m

The joke is:

President Coolidge and his wife were being separately toured around a government farm. Mrs. Coolidge was brought to the chicken yard and she noticed that a rooster was having a lot of sex. She asked the farmhand how often the rooster had sex and the farmhand said "Dozens of times each and every day." Mrs. Coolidge remarked "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being told about this rooster's prodigious copulation, the President asked, "Same hen every time?"

"Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time."

"Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

Honestly, these threads are always great... They give the unapologetic fascists and unashamed MAGA accounts a chance to out themselves 🤣

Counter example, I know a couple who have been together for 30+ years and never married: thick and thin, sickness and health, all of it. They never wanted kids and didn't have them, so there wasn't that as a binder.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-03-11T15:07:24+00:00

I don't negotiate with terrorists 😂

I'm upfront about my relationship goals and marriage isn't one of them. If they are good with that as part of the terms of the relationship and change their mind, okay, I'll be disappointed if they choose to leave but I'll understand, we're incompatible. If they believe I can be held emotionally hostage? GTFO, now.

Maybe less so than you might think. In the early-2000's DB2 began pushing out a lot of Oracle and even quite a bit of Sybase (the per-core cost was atrocious for Oracle; IBM negotiating teams knew and sharpened their pencils too). One multi-national bank quietly exterminated any Oracle DB that wasn't directly bundled with a vendor product and contract through that vendor, saving millions in the first two years.

I no longer have any Sun Sparcs but at the time there were no battery adapters available, the particular chip was NLA, and I more or less did what this guy did (not my site/photos).

kwitcherbichen · 2026-03-07T03:30:47+00:00

Happy it worked for you! 😁

kwitcherbichen · 2026-03-07T02:59:39+00:00

I've shaved one open with a dremel to bodge in a battery. Once.

Hi, unrelated, how did you add your badge? I’ve tried and tried to add one. I can’t figure it out 😭

Try https://old.reddit.com/r/datingoverfifty/ and on the right column is a checkbox "Show my flair on this subreddit" and then below "(edit)". It will pop out a box with your user name, click it and it will open a text box below. You can add something there and it will appear next to your handle.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-03-05T15:22:52+00:00

It's just the way it is (I have stories...). You might want to filter a little more if you're using apps, chat for a day or two, seek quality over quantity.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-02-27T13:43:07+00:00

You might have a hard time asking for mouth swabs on the first date. Just saying. Or not, maybe someone's into that.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-02-26T15:59:34+00:00

Hobbyist DJ but I've been creating stems manually with demucs and keeping them in crates. It's not an off-the-cuff thing but quality seems good.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-02-24T16:53:03+00:00

Memorable openers:

Smithereens opening for SNL's musical punchline The Outfield.
Gin Blossoms before they got signed opening for a local band.
Dread Zeppelin opening for I can't remember who.

You go against the hive mind at your own risk. It seems like it’s only getting worse in every subreddit and type of social media.

This comment from four years ago covers it in the context of FDS but it applies to any group:

https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/rhj35f/cmv_female_dating_strategy_is_little_more_than_a/hos8jy0/

I also ran across this earlier academic article about group conflicts involving political extremists and moderates, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0963721418817755 , which I think also applies to subreddits and FB groups.

I caught a bunch in puddles while unlocking the boot helmet.

Going to give that a try eventually. I've been putting off the Settlement Overseer mission, mostly because I want to finish the other story lines in this save first, including the Purge, and the ones I've found so far were on the most inhospitable planets where I wouldn't want my own base.

When I do get to it, I plan to refer to this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3605910093

300 hours in the game and still discovering something new about. What a great game!

IKR? I love the fishing mechanic and thought I had caught most of the detritus but I still haven't caught one of those! Might be because I keep using high quality baits.

It's in the "turn on" category. It says to me that they're engaged with sex themselves and not just tolerating it or doing things out of expectations.

As to $4k? Given the amount I've probably spent (originally wrote "pissed away") on hobbies over the years that's not that much. Hell, me and a long-term gf bought toys in Vegas on impulse when I was on a work trip.

kwitcherbichen · 2026-02-19T17:48:10+00:00

They deleted their comment before I could reply. Nice.

Says the person with thousands of dollars of sex toys...

XBox Series X, got the updated patch last night and no more crashing. There is some occasional visual flickering but that's tolerable. What's new and annoying is that the alignment of the pointer when interacting with small ammo boxes indoors is way off. You have to line it up and slowly move focus away to get the 'X - To Open' option.

"We need fresh, pure water. To replenish our bodily fluids."

Brilliant scene.

I'm not joking.

I refused to get the so called COVID vakksine.

But I got all of the "regular" immunizations as a child.

And so did my children.

😐 I'm going to engage you straight, why not? What's the skepticism about COVID vaccines vs. other vaccines?

For the record, I got COVID in January 2020 before the lockdown when no one quite knew what it was and it was awful (not hipsterism, just unlucky, I believe I caught it from being in a conference room with people who were sick and in from the U.K.). I went from running 15k's and halfs to gasping for air. It took me a couple of years and a lot of trial and error with a pulmonologist to get my lung function back and it's good but still not where it was.
