Just thinking how grateful I am that foreign-funded propaganda about this election isn't mainlined into our feeds.

Well, I did it. I finally bought a subwoofer. I was going to upgrade my inexpensive bookshelf speakers to towers, but this was the far more cost-effective solution and those bookshelves still sound fantastic.

RSL Speedwoofer 10S mkII is on its way. That would get me down to 18 Hz with room gain. 😎

I mean, Fat Joe is from the Bronx but he's probably the last person I would have called for that gig. My first call would have been Wu-Tang.

He may have called out some of my favorite players of all time, but that guy still sucks. LA easily wins in rapper intros this .

To anyone facing tough times: I know that sometimes your worries can feel as big as the moon, but keep pushing forward. Never give up, never give in, NEVER. Remember, every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to brighter days, because it can’t rain all the time. 💜

Not sure why, but "Misty Mountain. Hop" is running on a loop in my head right now.

Spelunking through folders, cleaning as I go.

Ah, band humor. Tuba in particular. 🎶

It’s the music I always come back to for the most inspiration and most fun! I’m looking forward to conducting Beethoven Symphonies this season (1, 6, 8, 9) with Symphony of the Rockies, Boulder Symphony, & Anderson Symphony!

Respect!

I see many Cleveland fans are still clinging to what may be the most racist logo in the history of professional sports.

Patience is a virtue and Pixel users are finally bearing the fruits of it. After what can only be described as a major holdup, exacerbated by the early release of Google's flagship Pixel 9 series, the wait for Android 15 is finally over.

Android 15 is available for Google's Pixel 6 and newer devices, featuring upgrades such as theft detection, Remote Lock, and Private Space for safeguarding sensitive apps.

If you want to help give a big GFY to the app stores, users have a couple great alternatives:

aurorastore.org
Aurora Store is basically Google Play without ads, trackers, accounts, or requiring Google services.

github.com/NeoApplications/Neo
Neo Store is a frontend for F-Droid, the go-to for FOSS apps, but easier to use and with more features.

Van Halen, the American hair rock band of the 80s, was infamous for this inclusion in their contract: "There will be no brown M&M’s in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation."

For years, this clause was seen as a frivolous and ego-maniacal expression of the rock and roll lifestyle.

It was not.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. A fog machine rental is way more then I want to spend just to entertain the neighborhood kids when I don't have any kind of display otherwise. I was considering the dry ice because it's only about $5/lb.

I'm considering grabbing a couple pounds of dry ice on Halloween to make some fog on the table where I will be handing out my candy in the driveway.

Anything I should know ahead of time? I'm well that it will give you severe frostbite if not handled properly and must be kept in an unsealed container.

It seems has finally started rolling out RCS support. I'm on but one of my text threads to one of my iPhone using friends now is labeled "RCS Chat". No other iPhone users I chat with have this designation so far though.

This is the Maiden cover you didn't know you needed...but you do.

If you're looking for a really good thriller/horror movie, watch Doctor Sleep, the 2018 sequel to The Shining. I had read the book years ago but only got around to watching it last night. Very well done.
