I didn’t even know these sorts of mini racks existed. now I’m going to have to get one for all my half sized preamps if they’ll fit. That would solve like half the problems with my studio room and may help bring back some of my spark for making music.

I have no recs. Just want to say I’m so excited to see this. I can probably build an audio patch panel.

It is exhausting. I’ve been in a relationship where my partner had no one but me. I don’t consider myself super outgoing but I have plenty of friends that I enjoy spending time with. I like playing music on the weekends. I like going to do things, sometimes last minute. I got fat and depressed because she just wanted to sit at home and for me to sit home with her.

It soured me on relationships for a bit. The next one was the opposite. She wanted to be out every night and didn’t understand I had to work. She never ever wanted to just hang at the house. It was also exhausting.

I’m open to a relationship if the person has similar patterns or doesn’t want me next to them 24/7. I can handle if they’re an independent person, but currently everything feels like either far too much or far too little so I’ve been doing my own thing for a while. I’ve got someone that I’m casual with. It’s perfect for now.

Jokes on her. I have forgotten all the good information I had back when I held a clearance and I’m incredibly boring.

Nope. It’s you and me, buddy. They learned from a fancy talker and a drunk. That’s why they just make shit up.

Stop giving out my secrets, L. Ron.

I had no idea what that was so I had to look. Unfortunately I’ve never been on the toy collectable train. I have a couple of those vinyl bobblehead things (their name escapes me) that were given to me and a couple of tabletop minis I painted but that’s the closest I ever came.

I get it. I really do. And I hate it because I like cowboy hats. They’re comfy and offer nice sun protection. The smaller brimmed ones look pretty good with most of the things I wear. It’s just that 90% of the people wearing one are scumbags. Worse, the biggest scumbags that wear them always look fucking stupid in them because they have no idea how to shape them for their face.

It’s a good rule of thumb. They ruined my punisher T-shirts. They ruined my cowboy hats. They ruined Norse runes. Next they’ll ruin my rainbow bracelets.

The people buying these aren’t the workers being forced into meetings. They’re the idiots who think meetings are the real work. So they can be in a meeting wherever they are without dragging out the laptop and pretend they’re the ones making money before they have an expensive dinner while they’re making the people who hate meetings work late.

This is my favorite. I ride motorcycles and as a whole the people I’ve met who ride are pretty accepting except for a couple of very old or very young dickheads. But trying to ride that fucker side saddle would get you laughed at by even the most accepting riders.

I have been absolutely sure it was a joke. His shit is so over the top.

Oh, and I just read your username. We’ve played the White Oak Music Hall if your name is a reference to Houston. Used to play Acadia back when it was open.

Oh trivia is great as well! There are a few other things depending on inclination. Some of the local joints here do paint and sip, line dancing, salsa dancing, wine pairing potlucks, and a bunch of other activities. If you add in breweries or distilleries you can find even more stuff.

But I say that knowing bars aren’t for everyone for a variety of reasons. Not every area has breweries and distilleries.

And yeah, karaoke is a different level of outgoing. I enjoy it in small doses and will fill in as the KDJ if someone needs me to, but doing that every week (or 3 times a week like some of these folks) is a bit much for me, and that’s coming from a dude who has a hobby of playing music in bars.

I do like local live music shows for that if you’re into local music, especially if you hit up the same venue every week for a bit. You’ll meet the other regulars.

A buddy of mine goes to karaoke every week, rain or shine. He moved to a new place a few years ago and within a couple of months he already had a group that he could hang out with elsewhere.

A big city not in the South. Houston and Dallas are #4 and #9. There’s public transit but it fucking sucks both places.

My childhood buddy lost half his teeth that way.

Hear me out. Have you tried them grilled in garlic butter with a little sprinkle of parmesan?

If it’s not for you then you won’t get any hate from me. I just wanted to throw that out there.

I can’t speak to crocodile, but I have eaten a lot of gator. If it’s not prepared properly it goes from tasting like water chicken to tasting like swamp thang.

Can I get in on that?

Unhealthy salad? Ha! Pull the other one!

Seriously though, the amount of greens that I’ve seen recalled due to e. coli is crazy.

Those aren’t computers! They’re PCs! And that doesn’t stand for anything.
