Couple of weeks ago I put in an offer on a 10-acre wood lot for camping and hiking and dirt biking and hunting and all that outdoorsy poo poo. I put in an obscenely low offer (like half the asking price) and the sellers accepted with no hesitation. Signed the paperwork about a week ago and now I’m just waiting for the snow to melt away to get a full walking survey of the piece. I’ve only been up there when there’s been snow on the ground so I haven’t walked the entire property. It’s only about 9 miles from home so I can go up any time with no inconvenience. I haven’t been able to take a weekend off in years due to working seven days a week until a couple of months ago, but now I’m excited to get back to the outdoors instead of being in an operating room almost 24/7. Planning on putting a small off-grid cabin on a nice flat spot on the upper part. The footsteps on the right go down the “driveway” and lead into a big open area that looks to have been leveled out in the past. All the adjoining lots are essentially wood lots as well.  Bonus mythical cryptid spotted:

I have a bunch of really cool legit Hawaiin shirts from Hawaii that I've found at thrift stores over the years. Boogaloo boys co-opting Hawaiin shirts have kinda ruined me wearing them so they sit in my closet

Congrats! That’s a goal of mine. 10-100 acres with a cabin. At this point I’ll have to start looking outside of Oregon. Maybe Eastern or WA/ID.

Ideally I’d have hunted a while longer for a much bigger plot, but this one I was able to buy cash and with no hassle. Can’t really go wrong with land, for the most part.

Hey does anyone here know about older sound cards? I found this Creative model SB0460 and there were a bunch on Ebay but without that XF-I box in the upper right corner and I was wondering what it was just out of curiosity. Im going to make a music gently caress around computer with an older HP that I have and will probably use this in it.

No one I know that got the Pfizer had a strong reaction to the first shot. Anecdotal evidence: my 69 year old, stage 4 cancer mother, who is on chemo and has super lovely health (duh) got her first Pfizer shot last Tuesday. Sore arm for a few hours, and nothing more. Thank God. Chemo is Thursday, second shot in 2 weeks, timed so she's mostly recovered from chemo.

I got Moderna, no reaction to the first shot besides injection site pain, second shot kicked my rear end, similar results from the other 30 people in my office, Mom, and various healthcare related acquaintances and family.

Doesn't seem to use the Live's emu10k1 DSP or the Audigy's emu10k2, which sound very good for being cheap consumer cards. What's your intended use case for music loving around? There's a ton of good USB audio interfaces these day that are pretty cheap since every one these days is a podcaster/streamer/bedroom DJ

TN entered phase 1c this morning, I started calling around to setup an appointment at 8am and by 8:30 had one scheduled. Wednesday morning get first jab, not completely sure but I think Pfizer. Few other friends with preexisting conditions were able to get scheduled for this and next week.

I've never used the MIDI on the soundblasters, just audio in/out (mostly out). I expect it works fine but you'll need a breakout cable for MIDI input/output if your equipment doesn't do MIDI over USB. I got a bunch of cables to get MIDI input from my wifes stage piano to my PreSonus Audiobox when setting up a small studio space for her, only to later realize it actually did MIDI over USB and I didn't need the cabling.

Yea I want to try the breakout cable for the card. I have an external USB MIDI adapter (Tascam US-144 MKII) but it has some lag so maybe using the internal card wont. It does have phantom power that I need for my condenser mic so I do need it for other things. No lag for my piano would be awesome.

Goddamn mustaches. The first time I had one a guy told me to be careful, his friend grew one as a joke and it became a permanent feature of his face. Probably the first three years of mustaches on and off brought me joke attention and far too many compliments from men in bathrooms. 2014-2016 maybe. Since then it's gotten the same amount of male attention, and way more female attention. And of course I doubted the sincerity at first but by 2019 it was a huge ego boost. And now I have one again that only a small fraction of people I've interacted with have seen.

I can't share our data externally, but under the age of 50 you're more than 2-3x as likely to end up with above average side effects. Over 50 and people barely report anymore more than a sore arm or a little tiredness.

For the longest time i was clean-shaven until sometime in my 30s i was like "gently caress it let's see how a beard looks". Turns out, it looks great. I do get a lot of weird attention from men in bathroom lines complimenting my beard - living in SF it kinda comes with the territory (especially around Pride/Folsom) but I've had people qualify their compliments with "No i'm straight, my girlfriend's waiting for me back at the table!" Facial hair definitely increased my dateability for sure.

I have my second dose on Saturday but I’m not expecting anything different.

Moderna - first shot nbd - the second one I was fine for a day and thought I dodged the bullet, then on evening number two I felt a bit tired, then a bit more tired, then it felt like I got hit by a truck from the first signs of fatigue it was about 2 hours before I was just not capable of being anywhere but my bed - passed out around 7p and slept for 12 hours straight thru dog barking, baby crying and other things that would have woken me up for sure. I woke up, drank a gallon of water and pee'd out what I'm only assuming is a gallon- Day 3 was the slightest bit of joint ache and fatigue, by day 4 I was back to normal. My back has been pretty achey since the whole ordeal, but that could be my terrible posture, holding baby, improper lifting and everything else bad I do to my back - but I've been a bit more aware of it since the shots. My wife, father in law and uncle all had a very bad reaction to the second shot all three reported flu like symptoms and were in bed for 2 days but never broke fevers. I think I got off lightly.

In my opinion, very few people can make a mustache work. But those that do, boy howdy they are hot! Slothrop is one of those that do. My neighbor's boyfriend has one, and I think he looks like Cletus from the Simpsons.

In general, I highly recommend aligning your shots with either weekends or PTO. It's not quite 50/50 - but you have decent odds that you will be in bed at least 1 day with 2nd dose.

I too would like to hear about your erzberg plans. re: mustache chat I grew a beard and then read somewhere that when someone says they like your beard it really means that they like your face more when they see less of it and it's hard to take any compliments seriously. Obviously the solution is a mustache. KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:team plaid over here Gotta go full hawaiian. Just mesh shorts, and a beer/poi belly the size of your "mahalo bruddah."

I let the customer and my bosses know I may or may not be absolutely useless following my shot Wednesday. Haven't seen much about how immune suppressed people are being hit, hopefully first round isn't too rough because I'm pretty sure second is going to kick my rear end.
