Home-grown, grass-fed, on-farm butchered, bag-aged (one month), pan-fried striploin. This is one of the best steak experiences I've had.

Yes, for sure. He sure was a nice old guy, so sincere. He told me that he didn't have much money and lived a very simple life. The cost of his season ticket was significant to him, but when the Astros organization got wind of this and offered him a free season ticket since he had become such a legend there, he declined. He said he should have to pay just like anyone else. A man of integrity.

You'd be hard pressed to find an interface that isn't amazing for the price these days. I've used MOTU and Focusrite Red gear and they're both great. The differences will be in the features but that could make a big difference for your applications. IMHO, it's worth asking a sales guy at Sweetwater their thoughts on what you're planning to do. Matching the built in mic preamp with the mics you're likely to use (there may be deals on mic/interface combos too). You should mention which keyboard you plan to use. Ask about EDU discounts!!!! Eligibility differs from company to company but a sales guy will be able to steer you. When I was taking classes in Calif., it was worth it to pay for one online course for the EDU discounts I got on software/hardware. IIRC, one year I saved over $2k and I also got a tax break at the end of the year!

Man....RIP Hank, what a legend! And since they include the Negro League stats now, his 715 wasn't even the record, it was 760 when all was done!

Just chillin' to this...

You're getting older, and that's a bummer. But we still love you Michael Grummer! Have the best Birthday ever!

I think the only downside for your use case is two inputs. I’ve often felt mine lacking because I would want a stereo analog input for my keyboard, a mic input, and a stereo send return for outboard pedals. But then you mentioned MIDI, so you’re probably fine.

Thanks everyone from an old fat bald man. Going for another lap around the sun. That really was the best gift of all.

I don't know much about interfaces, but the 2i2 seems to be highly regarded by home studio-type people. I believe the 4i4 has midi i/o, for not a lot more money.

Come and get it oh wait we built the wall and you can't.

Drool

Send me some of this fancy bag aged meat.

Mike lives way down south in Illinois, I think that is Trump country, be careful. Happy Birthday Mike.

I can't think of a much better gift! Cheers!

Tidal recommended these guys based on my listening habits and I have to say, I like it! Quality folk-rock. Big Thief - Masterpiece

The DPS or required PSU pinout would match the Elpac wallwart these used to come with. V1 is V+, V2 is V-. From the datasheet:

Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy Birthday!!!!

There is a good point of view to have in life, never buy anything from Hifiman!

I’m not sure if my setup can do thread milling, not sure if it’s a controller or spindle limitation. Rough draft finished. Time to get some thicker cheap wood for a full mock up.

I'm glad I never sold mine. (GLite V.1 or its DPS.) I did send The World's Fattest Wallwart to the World's Fattest Headed Mexican a while back, but I digress...

Man, did I sleep like a baby last night. I slept IN as well, which felt wonderful. I woke up to NPR playing Garth Brooks, which was kind of weird. He doesn't strike me as public radio's normal fare. All day everyone has seemed to be in a good mood, and I can't figure out why. It's like the whole nation got a good night's sleep as well. Funny thing, that.

I have been looking for a new GPU for a month (I´m thinking in a 2080TI or 3080). After seeing new and pre-owned prices and Nvidia's lack of new stock I realized that I should have invested my savings in graphic cards.... 🥵 I think I'll keep my current 1070 for a while.

It's a niche product for sure, but even the Fuji cameras are niche products at this point, when people are using their phones, drones, or GoPro to create a lot of the content I'm enjoying. The review mentioned a learning curve and using the Quattro as a second camera, which sounds like a bit more investment than a casual photographer would tolerate. I was "gifted" a Nikon D70 (with NIKKOR 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED) that I haven't tried out yet, and I'd feel bad if I didn't make an attempt at learning its ins and outs. There is also a local place that still processes (the last time I checked) APS film and I've got to finish off those rolls of film as soon as possible. It's a good problem to have. P.S. I was searching for the Lytro camera but found this oddball product first: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/4/10/17218758/light-l16-review-camera-photos which may be reaching the end of the line: https://www.dpreview.com/news/3781485434/l16-camera-manufacturer-light-abandons-consumer-imaging-turns-to-automotive I still think the Lytro is an awesome idea, just not for the selfie market...
