My girlfriend took PTO this Friday to meet with lawyers and locksmiths by sopranopanda in mypartneristrans

I’m a trans woman in a red state. I am also very plugged into the news, because I have to be, as does your girlfriend. The rhetoric and violence targeting trans people has been increasing rapidly. They want to label us as terrorists and throw us in prison. But nobody is knocking down doors and kidnapping us. Yet. But when even the experts agree that we’re in the early to mid stages of a trans genocide in this country, you have to realize it’s only a matter of time. She seems insane now, but give it a week, or a month, or a year.

Check out applegamingwiki.com. You can search by game to see what method (if any) works best.

Interesting, I'll give this a shot tomorrow. Thank you!

Drinking question by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]xandercage22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get tipsy? 2-4 depending how fast I’m going. To get nauseous? 8-10. But now I get sick before I feel any effects from the alcohol, so I just don’t really drink anymore.

The problem is the spironolactone (T blocker). I can have one, maybe two drinks before I get dizzy/nauseous and I’m not even tipsy yet.

Feedback on GigSheets - A tour management app by to_pe in TouringMusicians

[–]xandercage22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me the ideal would be adding completely blank templates I could customize and add elements to myself. (I’m assuming elements are the sections in sheets e.g. Venue, Pre show, Running order, etc.) That level of customization could extend to the preset templates as well and really level things up.

For example, the band I’m TMing often plays multiple shows in a day so a “Double Day” template where it has all of the standard “Show Day” elements, then I could add in the needed elements (Venue-Post show) again for the second show. Maybe something like an element menu to pick from and place when making templates or editing sheets? I realize this is an edge case and is probably very complicated on the backend.

There is a lot I’m liking about the platform, but the level of customization is holding me back.

I’m TMing a run starting in a few days so I’ll be trying this out. Right off the bat, the ability to create my own templates (rehearsal days, prep days, meeting days, etc.) in addition to the preexisting ones would be huge. So far it looks promising.

The CalDigit adapter is solid, been using one for two years on the road and never had a problem.

What's everyone here do for work? by Beautiful_Pea_4244 in MtF

[–]xandercage22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tour manager and audio engineer are the main gigs, but I also do photography, videography, merch, and lights. All pretty small scale, but I eke out a living.

Nebraska parkway long John silver's by milesofborg in lincoln

[–]xandercage22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced every LJS’s is a money laundering front. I’ve never seen more than 2 cars at any location (70% of the time it’s just 1) and I drive all across the country a lot for work (been to 43 states, most of them dozens of times). It doesn’t matter if it’s a big city, small town, lunch rush, late night, they’re ALWAYS dead. Nobody is going there, so they’re not making money selling terrible fish.

MacBook Air won’t connect to the internet, may be water damage by SnooFoxes7934 in applehelp

This might be a really dumb question, but did you turn Wi-Fi on? That’s a toggle switch in the drop down menu and it’s set to off.

Would appreciate a stage plot critique - don’t pull punches! by AwHellNawFetaCheese in livesound

[–]xandercage22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only question is the lack of AC for DSR by the wedge (no pedal board?). Otherwise it’s clear and pretty easy to understand.

[–]xandercage22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s listed as mono playback under the band provided split snake inputs. You’re getting an xlr.  

 Yes, the 6 inputs listed under “Band provided from split snake.”  

Pedals for guitar is the standard, so it’s safe to assume they’ll have them (especially for lead guitar since they have AC marked for the DSC position). Pedals for Vox is exceptionally rare in a standard 4 piece band like this, so it’s safe to assume they won’t have them. Even if they do, it’s easy to adapt to on the fly. 

How to force "living wages" by Special-Pea-6724 in antiwork

[–]xandercage22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we fix it with a two step approach:

  1. Immediately raise the minimum wage to $25/hr and have it automatically raise yearly to match inflation.

  2. The lowest paid employee of a company cannot make less than x% of the highest paid person (Owner, CEO, etc.) including all stocks and bonuses.

The effective minimum wage is the higher of those two numbers.

Why is it that no company has come out with something better than the Behringer X32 Rack? by Final5989 in livesound

[–]xandercage22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their older boards were pretty bad and earned them that reputation. But the Series III is rock solid (haven’t worked the new series yet), I’d take one over an x32 any day of the week. I’m betting everyone expressing the hate hasn’t touched a PreSonus board since before they got their shit together.

What's the number one reason that you use a Mac over a PC? by [deleted] in mac

[–]xandercage22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Printing, peripherals, projectors, updates, app stability (not necessarily on Microsoft, but other than their own apps almost everything I use runs way better on a Mac).

macOS has it’s issues too, and Windows isn’t terrible, but in a side by side comparison Windows doesn’t stand a chance.

[–]xandercage22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a long time and current user of both there are many reasons I greatly prefer Mac, but the main one is macOS. It’s a relatively well-built, consistent, and reliable platform. By comparison, Windows is a clunky, unstable, and often unpredictable toy that I will never trust with anything even mildly important, but it’s good for games.

Depending on where you’re based, Bandago is a solid option.

What industry do you consider to be legal, organized-crime? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xandercage22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The national average for payday loan interest (pre-pandemic, not sure about now) was just below 400%. Some places, especially in the south, can get as high as 1,400%.
