I KNOW he can get the job. But can he DO the job?
I’m not arguing that with you!

All of these tunes are also on They Got Lost.
I had a whole rant about how Long Tall Weekend is just a greatest hits album but now reality is messing with me.

I like Apollo 18 a lot, but for me it’s Flood.
Apollo 18 is some of their best work, but as a whole Flood delivers.

It's the echo that sings "I want my M-T-Vvvvvvvvvvv" right before the guitar riff kicks in.

I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn't one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

If you are considering either sleeping beat dunes or pictured rocks I would suggest taking the MI route instead of Wisconsin. Less traffic through Chicago and Milwaukee. The drive up the coast on US131 or US31 follows Lake Michigan the whole way and has beautiful scenery.

Yes, but the shell of Christmas is like a gelatinous blob that swallows everything around it. Look at how many perfectly good winter tunes have been corrupted into being slaved to Christmas. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells (written for Thanksgiving), Frosty th Snowman. The list is endless.

Where I live we are allowed to smile for a driver's license, but not a passport photo. I think it's because when you are traveling long distances you are going to look miserable so your passport has to reflect that.

Live in MI. I walk a ton, but the closest dedicated coffee shop (Bigby) is 1.5 miles from me. There are, however, two restaurants that will also serve me coffee within .125 miles.

First, I agree with everything you typed. BUT
Second, "a little fortress of solitude and separates me from the public" is kinda the problem we have that leads to the top part of the picture. We in the West in general and the United States in particular have lost our sense of community. My car by myself listening to what I want in solitude is AWESOME, but stopping to sit and be part of a community is probably better for me.

I can agree with most of what you wrote. I'm not entirely convinced the life +70 protections for some things is wrong. An artist should have control over their work, but once they pass things need to become public domain. I'll go one step further and say that no one should be able to own things they didn't create or commission. The Happy Birthday story is a prime example.

Culturally irrelevant or culturally apathetic?
I don't give two shits about being "relevant" I just get shit done.

Intellectual Property is abused by monopolies, sure, but it's not a construct made by those monopolies. If you write a book you should have rights to how that book is distributed. That's the idea behind copyright.

My argument wasn't that they are more important. My observation was that the things writers, actors, and musicians produce is being sold over and over and over for other people's profit.
Apparently my mistake was in thinking that the IT infrastructure created was purely infrastructure in the same vein as electrical, plumbing, or even physical buildings. I didn't know that the IT systems created to provide streaming services was being sold to other streaming platforms without credit to the designers.
And before anyone thinks I am saying electricians, plumbers, carpenters and the like aren't creative I am NOT saying that. A family member is a plumber and the stuff he has to dream up to get stuff to work is incredible.

I think I can see where you are coming from here. The difference between your creativity and writers, actors, musicians is that while your work is used by the company you built the system for that company isn't selling it to someone else. You built infrastructure.
Writers, actors, and musicians work is being sold by the companies they work for as a revenue stream.

There are definitely less lightning bugs now. I remember there being tons growing up, but now I rarely see them, and I live very close to where I lived as a kid.

This is the problem with people that think in terms of being "management". Management will always have an adversarial relationship with everyone else in an organization simply because they think they have to. The longer they stay in those positions the worse it gets.

Big fan of Spark on both desktop and mobile. I like the feature set of the original app. Haven't tried the free trial of the new AI feature.

Thanks for the link. That was an entertaining watch! Still, the narrator states that he is sure the original exists on a hard drive somewhere. He also gives a solution towards the end of the video. If you really like something download it.
Hello! I’m trying to figure out what kind of chipset/shared RAM would best suit a given scenario. There are two graphic-intensive things I use my current setup for (late 2019 i9 32GB MBP), and both seriously drive the Activity and CPU/GPU nuts slowing everything down to molasses. 1) I regularly need to use three screens for work. The built-in retina display, an external monitor, and a 65" Promethean board (a Promethean board is similar to a SmartBoard). All three need different information on them. Currently, I need to downsize the resolution on the external monitor to avoid lag/freezing. 2) I do a fair amount of video editing using Final Cut Pro. I’m not importing 4K video, but I do regularly need to combine several 3-5GB video files into several multi-cam clips. The background tasks often slow the process down. While scrolling the timeline view to insert titles the audio track preview (waveform) doesn’t render for several minutes. My questions are how to avoid this on a future laptop. Would the extra GPU cores on the M2 chips do a better job with these tasks or is this a CPU issue? Would there be a noticeable difference between the Pro and Max chips and/or 32GB versus 64GB? Ideally, I would like to be running both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro at the same time. Thanks in advance for any replies. The new shared RAM has me scratching my head.
