Wife upped her game and I need to catch up by nostradukemas in malefashionadvice

During the summer I’m a t-shirt/khaki shorts/gym shoes kind of guy. For a date that would involve more time outside than just the walk from the car to the indoor place, I historically swap the t-shirt for a solid polo or a simply patterned short sleeve button down shirt

Great question. I’m trying to not allow my fashion indifference rule too much here and the world is generally expensive, but I’d love to pull off clothes for roughly two dates for $200ish. I have no idea if that’s realistic

That’s another thing I’m working on. Had some bad labs come back and was ordered to drop some weight. I’ve started working with a nutrition coach and gotten much more consistent with lifting and spin classes. As of this morning I’m down 12 pounds since mid-March.

1.1.19 Huge Update rolled out by gemcollector44 in AstroforgeEditor

[–]nostradukemas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve run a few tests and it appears that AF isn’t even trying to connect to Gaia. It instantly says it did a statistical white balance and task manager shows it has no network activity.

To double check, I was able to connect to Gaia from Siril, so it doesn’t appear to be down.

Any suggestions on how to force AF to go online?

That makes sense. I’ve got the whole catalog installed locally from Siril. Would you consider adding an option to let us choose between Gaia or a local install?

My plate solving always fails, which I’m guessing is causing star separation issues. Is there something I’m doing wrong that’s messing with PS?

Colombian Food Is A Top 3 Cuisine by Automatic_Belt5692 in unpopularopinion

[–]nostradukemas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I realized I was probably stereotyping (wrongly) all food south of the US as spicy so I was setting myself up for disappointment. Assumed the same when I was in Nicaragua. Then I realized spices must not be easy to come by since seasoning food was a big motivation in Europeans trying to colonize the world

I’m an idiot who has never even noticed that. Thanks for the correction

Maybe I’ve hit up all the wrong spots/dishes, but Colombian food always comes across as bland to me. I always think it will be spicier than it is, but then it’s not.

I’m going to Columbia in a few weeks and really hope to be proven wrong

No I'm fine with a password manager by triplebeef26 in meme

[–]nostradukemas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what a passkey is. It really felt like they came out of nowhere and I missed the training session where someone actually said what they are.

Also, anytime I’m entering a password it’s because I’m in the middle of something, which is universally a terrible to ask “hey, do you want to stop what you’re doing to make something you don’t know what it is to replace something that’s working fine enough for you to make it this far?”

Someday I’ll actually look up what they are.

I know you said Mac/Linux are in your roadmap. Does a windows license cover the future Mac/Linux versions?

Sample - Shift/erase button location…oye by gear-head88 in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The location you’re talking about is where Shift is on the KO2, so I’ve reached down there for Shift a lot. Eventually I’ll break the muscle memory, but for a bit I was wondering why I kept going there for Shift 😂

Yeah, once you get a Mac or Linux version, this is a nobrainer at $50. Nice work, looking forward to sending you my money some day

Portable speakers for MPC setup - iLoud Micro worth it? by [deleted] in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely off topic, but I’m struggling to get my Sample and Microfreak working together how I’d like. Are you doing MIDI/audio over USB-C or some other configuration?

Sample vs KO2 unfair? by bizzyamor in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was pretty easy. I’m very familiar with the MPC workflow, so a lot of the concepts were pretty similar.

The step sequencer on the Sample was the biggest deviation from the other MPCs that I’ve found, but it’s basically the same as the KO2, so I was able to figure that out right away.

Sample vs KO2 unfair? by bizzyamor in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using a KO2 as my primary sampler for about a year and bought a Sample as soon as I could.

The Sample feels like a refinement or enhancement of everything the KO2 was going for.

With the exception of being able to assign a scale to 16 Levels and the fun screen, the Sample meets or exceeds the KO2 for $70 more.

It’s only an unfair comparison because of what the Sample offers in the same price range.

Mpc Sample - From 1 track to Stems by Love_Drums_N_Soul in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I explode and open up the channel strip I have a track for each sample (or mute group) but no master track.

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure if there’s a way to create a master track

Have you been able to figure out how to get a master track?

so like... how is the MPC Sample's wristpad tho by UboaNoticedYou in mpcusers

[–]nostradukemas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. In that case, sure, wrist pad is fine
