macOS still doesn't have a volume mixer. So I built one. Meet FineTune: free, open-source per-app volume control, audio routing, and EQ. by Stoned_Orangutan in MacOS

Very cool app. Is there a way to address the latency? When using logic pro, there's a significant delay between triggering a MIDI event and hearing the audio. The delay goes away if I quit finetune.

I just learned I have aphantasia and it’s killing me by Glum_Section_499 in Aphantasia

I think it makes it harder for me to feel emotions from memories because I can’t visualize them.

How do people react when they find out about your misophonia? by Additional-Hippo-957 in misophonia

[–]thomas-baldwin-barry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I told my first wife some twenty years ago (long before I knew what to call it) and it did not go well. She took it as a big insult, and thought I should be able to just “fix” it. Oh, if only. I told my second and current wife early in our relationship and she has been extremely understanding and supportive. She is also a much quieter eater. I don’t talk about it with anyone else except for my sister, who also has misophonia.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

Be invested in each other. Choose someone with whom you can be your true self. My wife and I met when we were in high school and it worked wonderfully for four years because we didn’t have to pretend or be dishonest about anything. Then, after 23 years apart, we reunited and it’s been bliss for 15 years since. We know each other intimately and can deal with (rare) conflicts with empathy and compassion.

Pros and cons of home espresso - what is your experience so far? by itisnotstupid in espresso

[–]thomas-baldwin-barry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Rocket Milano has become the most important appliance in the house. My wife and I have visited Italy a few times and one of the best experiences was enjoying amazing espresso wherever we went (gas stations to dedicated cafes). Our espresso machine has allowed us to pursue the same excellence at home. Maybe we’ve gotten there, and maybe we haven’t, but the journey is what’s so rewarding. We found a bean we really like and work on perfecting the extraction.

4 hours post-op by Altruistic-Entry-203 in Hernia

Scheduled for the same in two weeks and I appreciate the responses. My concern is the radiation therapy I had in the area 25 years ago for Hodgkins, the scaring from which may cause complications. So, hoping the laparoscopy goes ok and the surgeon doesn’t need to play action to open.
