A Happy & Busy Life, Male, from Chicago, IL

Pyrate

Giving Tidal another chance now that they dropped prices. Literally the second album I wanted to test is unavailable for streaming... Apr 13, 2024 at 4:30 PM

      Headed to Taiwan (Taichung and Taipei) and Shenzhen in late Dec to early Jan. Need help on cool things to see and eat.

        Alishan and Sun Moon Lake on the itinerary. Have checked out the Xiao Long Bao thread (though I hate waiting in lines).

      I don't mind Windows 10, but hate that the only way I know a major update is available is something broken. Like sound this time around.

        I managed to adjust the settings with gpedit.msc, but you need Pro for it to work.

        Only W10 Pro is worth it. W10 for consumers takes away the control you used to have.

        I use windows server 2016. You can get it free from Dreamspark if you have a .edu email address. It's windows 10 without all the coddling.

      Ugh. Looking for the best masters of individual songs is forcing me to fight with my OCD of having only one album/copy of something.

        I hadn't thought of the "best of" compilations angle. Choosing masterings is quite the rabbit hole but the rewards can be enormous.

        Good list, I had about the same names. I've learned so much about jazz over at the Jazz Beat thread....has cost me a great deal of money :)

      Any rumors of a Bifrost Multibit update? Might hang on to my Bifrost and double down later this year instead of take a bath now.

        I like the Bifrost Multibit better due to the correct Schiit treble definition that the Gungnir Multibit and Yggdrasil have. Modi Multibit has that Bifrost Multibit upper bass/lower mid veil throughout the entire audible range.

        I did some photography inside the Lyric earlier this year for their promotional materials. Amazing venue to have an opportunity to photograph.

        Bah, that's nothing. If you don't create a holy shitstorm and get a chunk of a thread moved to "How to influence friends..." then you're just in the minor league...

        I got my first dislike because of the absence of one. This is what I get for not being more inflammatory. Ironically, he didn't have one.

        "In a while" can be a very flexible term.

        When do you want to eat dinner? In a while.
        What time are you going jogging? In a while.

      I mean, yeah, drugs, sex, and rock n roll would probably lead to a shorter life, but seriously? All in a two week span?
