Ah that makes sense. Theres definitely a sliding scale of American tonics as far as sweetness goes, it's not like the old days.

How should it be done?

American tonic is sweetened and the FDA limits quinine content. Buy something like Fever Tree if possible, and have a plainer baseline dry gin like Beefeater or Gordons to work out what normal should taste like.

Then you can go wild with fancier bits and pieces.

Deer lord, someone help me synthetizers are money sinkholes. After the korg volca sample and keys I bought a volca kick, a volca fm, a behringer mx400 mini mixer, plenty of audio connectors, ableton live, a scarlet 2i4 sound interface and a akai apc 25 keyboard in the matter of a few weeks.

This won't end well.

Fidget cubes finally arrived, only a few months late...

Also got a camera with non-garbage sound quality, which is surprisingly rare for a portable camera. It should be much better than GoPros and cell phone cameras for recording rehearsals. Hopefully it can handle some dog slobber, as it got investigated by the dog as soon as it was out of the box.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Lol I walked into a store in hicktown, BC 2 months ago and bought one of these things for less than $10 CAD. Are fidget backers really only getting theirs now?

Pretty soon you'll be buying modular rack units. You'll be living in a cardboard box but oh my god did you see Makenoise has a new module? Wow. I could patch it to that Intellijel piece but it won't fit unless I move my clock divider and, ooh cool Dwarfcraft is doing modular now... poo poo, looks like I need more rackspace... :homebrew:

Content! I bought some stabby parts:

Harut System-Pistol Epee Grip


and a Titanium bell guard, which is not really necessary but I bought it just because it's super cool and TITANIUM IS THE MOST METAL OF METALS.

Why? Because I wanna learn French grip! And this is a weird awesome neo-French design with a steeper drop at the pommel, that supposedly has a lot of the advantages of French, without losing the precise control you get with a pistol grip. Yay stabby! :ese:

I'm 6 ft 3in and left handed. Add in the ability to pommel and it's the perfect storm of annoying fuckery. Also I tend to break and show the outer forearm, and/or leave an opening on the part of the upper arm just above the elbow joint during attacking actions. French grip emphasizes a lot of linear actions, which tend to work better for me than angular ones as my footwork is definitely better than my bladework most of the time.

It helps keep that defensive coverage of the arm a bit better aligned in my case, because I find it easier to keep the wrist angle from breaking with a French grip than with a pistol. As with everything, YMMV of course.

Plus, it's easier to toe-hit when you pommel and I absolutely goddamn love getting toe hits.

I'm also a toe hit guy, that's probably the reason I got ranked at all! Maybe I should give French another go.

I had to buy a new tire chuck because the gasket in mine failed and it was blowing as much air around the valve stem as into the tire.

And a pair of those conductive bone headphones to wear at work so I can listen to music or podcasts without bothering anybody and also be able to hear the phone or whatever. I've only used them briefly at the end of the day yesterday and to the grocery on my way home from work, but I'm pretty impressed so far.

Classic Thermapens are on sale for only $59 right now, brand new. This is by far the cheapest I've ever seen them for a non-refurb item, and it's available in six colors, unlike a lot of their sales that are limited to a single color. If you don't have one, jump on this!
