OH GOD BEAR




Yeah, thanks to buyin more stuff, I need to figure out a new solution for the non rack mount gear. Got some new ideas for something to fab up.

As for the BoMs, thankfully ( :shepface: ) I already have a lot of parts in my collection of pcb parts, so I don't need to order as much, mostly passives. But the different form factor for pots and jacks definitely messes me up and makes me have to buy new things for something I already have a bunch of :argh:.

I was not satisfied with just ONE Volca I went ahead and picked up a Nubass and a Drum to go with my Keys. And an NTS-1... for the effects! Now, lacking a proper way to record all of these synths at the same time, I bought a used Tascam Model 12 through Reverb as I feel it will fit my needs for a long time to come.



Yeah I may end up with a bass/drums/fm eventually but for now I want to try and make stuff with this hardware and mess with software synths, because if I buy stuff and don't actually use it my wife will yell at me.

My first thought was that James May is finally trendy.

I bought new light switches for my entire house to replace the original ones with the larger rectangular ones with hidden screw faceplates, and electrical sockets to replace the original ones, some of which had paint on them, or were getting loose/worn out. And nicer dimmers etc. Also an AC tester to make sure I turned off the correct breaker in conjunction with my multimeter to double check so I don't kill myself. And LED bulbs to replace every incandescent one left in the house.

Also bought materials and tools to rescreen all of my window screens. Need to also buy 2 LED linear shop lights to replace the ones in the garage and in the basement since their ballasts are going out and I don't want them to start a fire or something. Oh an new smoke/carbon monoxide detectors to replace the current ones.

May go ahead and replace the water heater as well as it's original so 20+ years old even though it's had no issues.

Also my whole house humidifier has stopped working so it's dry as hell so I need to take a look at it and see if I can replace the solenoid for the water flow which I suspect has gone out, or need to replace the entire unit.

Why yes I am getting ready to sell my house in the next month or two why do you ask?

Hopefully nabbed myself a PS5 combo.



Got it from Costco a couple days ago after getting notified from one of those "PS5 Drop Alert!" Discord services.

Took a few minutes to get my Costco PW and login, and in my experience taking loner than 30 seconds after a PS5 is in stock means you missed it, but it still said in stock when I added it to my cart and checked out, and my order says confirmed, but also still says "Order Received" on the Costco website and no updates since then, so for all I know it could be weeks before it ships.

Don't have a big need for the second controller, might sell it to help offset the cost...and I would have preferred it was a bundle WITHOUT a year of PL Plus because it seems like it's the full price of $50 if I add up the bundle cost of tings individually.

The only "deal" is that the month of PSNow is basically free...usually, you can find PL Plus deals for like $40 easily, and I have PSNow currently but was planning on cancelling since it's pretty garbo compared to the Microsoft Gamepass service, but whatever.

I also might sell the headset...I can't stand headsets, but ALSO my TV's audio is trash so maybe I'll keep it since I dropped a lot of money on this and don't want to spend hundreds more on a sound system or even sound bar just now,

You'll want the second controller because the batteries on the Dualsense are poo poo and it will die when you're in the middle of a boss fight.

I borrowed a friend's Pelican 1625 Air case over the weekend and decided I wanted one of my own, so I scrounged around OfferUp…

…and scored a used Pelican 1650 Protector case. It's a little bigger and heavier but for the price it's hard to beat.

Oof, worse than the DualSock 4 (or whatever the PS4 controller is called)?

Well, just got shipment confirmation, so now it's just fingers crossed no porch pirates! (Only AFTER I ordered did I think of that and realized I should have had it shipped to my office...but my GF is usually WFH so it should be safe...)

Seems like it to me. Definitely not better. All the extra motors and whatnot seem to take a toll. But it's a great controller, much more comfortable in my slightly XL hands than the old DS4. I just wish it had back paddles like the xbox elite and SCUF controllers.

I’m interested to see how they feel. The microstrech is 90:10 poly:spandex and I understand Saxx’s stuff is cotton and modal so it’ll be a change. It’s a shame that DKNY discontinued them, they are great and have lasted me about forever.


E - I did like the mostly modal me undies I tried years ago, but they weren’t durable for poo poo.

I got that headset for my PS4 Pro and it's pretty good, plus when the battery dies (or even if it didn't die) you can just plug it into the controller, so that's not bad for $100.

Welcome friend. You cook by thickness now - 11 min air fry is nuggets, 14 min is sausages.


Now listen very very carefully, this is the secret knowledge: line it with kitchen foil with the edges slightly up like it’s a boat. Buy a pair of long tongs.

Now you barely have to clean and don’t burn your hands.

If you line the basket with foil then you're limiting the air flow around the food and it's now just an oven not a convection fryer. If you put the foil outside the basket I guess you could keep the inner pot clean but the basket will still dirty.

Counterpoint: I cook pork belly in mine and you got to let ninja’s non-stick cool down before cleaning or it hurts the water repellent coating. Getting congealed and burnt pig fat out of a ninja’s tiny wee holes vs an extra 3 min cooking in a foil grease catching boat is a no brainier.


E: also it’s not a convection fryer, it’s a convection oven, the fryer in the name was wrong and it stuck. The reason it works better than a regular size oven is that everything is condensed and science is magic

You can get air dryer ovens now that do both oven and air frying, i assume the air frying just means they turn up the fans or something

I have the Instant Pot lid and it gets plenty crispy on the top portion. I hear standalone units do it better but the space saving is hard to beat.

I have an oven that has a convection setting and that more or less turns it into an air fryer. Secret is making sure whatever you're cooking has at least a thin layer of fat coating it to help with heat transfer.
