@clive Has your drummer considered triggers? Gives a lot of options for sound especially if they are blended with the acoustic kit.

Haven't looked at OpenSuse in a decade; it's not bad at all and sits nicely between Centos and Fedora for an RPM-based distro. All the proprietary crap I need for work runs on it too, namely VPN and EDR. Nice to have choices outside of Ubuntu and Redhat.

serious question

is there a firefox addon that blocks all loading wheels on all websites?

they make me dizzy :(

@HayleyMulch I told you they'd be alright! (Even I didn't think they would be podium fast though)

@clive Some of the tech changes in live music have served to reduce by an order of magnitude the volume on stage. Put your guitars straight into the desk via digital pre-amp (assuming you even have a desk...), get rid of the wedge monitors and use buds. Look after those wiggies! I know it's not going to 11 but it's for the best.

@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.com I don't doubt it. Norfolk Southern had an apartment in my last place, I spoke to them a lot. Most were a long way from home.

@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.com That's about what the man took out of my last bonus

@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.com Bloody hell

I told my son I might be looking for another job and he suggested I become a train driver, which cheered me up no end. I love that life can be so simple to a kid.

@clive It's horribly common, Clive. Hope all goes well with your hearing.

@mrsaturday @Moon There's definitely a lot more misery in cubicle work. Better to be physically tired than mentally.
