Running Kitty the past year and a bit and really like it. Used to run into weird laggy issues with other terminal emulators, but Kitty runs like a beast for me.

So what you want to know is: if i have a very negative attitude towards Italian people, can i support my wife in putting as much tabasco on her pizza?

My brain is not wired to be proud of things (chase the process!).

But i think achievements that I would put on my resume of life:

  • Smoked for 15 years, quit, now 10+ years, nifty to think of. (i like number go up)
  • Still alive even though i never thought that would happen a lot of times in my life, keep on keeping on
  • I have released a bunch of cool music with other people and it has been a 'getting out of hand' hobby also for the past 15+ years
  • Up until now haven't screwed up the next generation bonus-mini-me, today was their first day in high school, so pretty proud of them (not my achievement though, i just supported along the way).

So how many days do you take a year? As the other comments also touch upon, it becomes an outperform thing with co- workers, to take the least amount to "perform better". Also how easy and often do managers then deny requests?

With a fixed set it has an actual value, at the company they can't deny PTO's as they are yours. Of course planning comes into play a little bit, but if you let the company know that 2 months from now you take 4 weeks off for a good long summer holiday, that is what you will be doing then in those 2 months.

ps. I have 25 personal paid days, a bunch of public holidays. Doctor's appointments are on the 'please try to schedule them outside working hours if possible, otherwise, well, that's life, you need to visit that doctor'. Full travel reimbursement (fixed amount per month, can spend however i want), A lot of secondary items in my contract as well dealing with having to take care of partner / children if they become sick (is paid time off), etc etc.

I love this watch! Just wear it and forget, never thinking about having to charge it. One thing that i miss is a vibrating motor for the alarm. I know other models have that, but i miss it on this one.

Composing is being on a whole different level with how you approach music! And with the availability of software instruments it has become within reach of a single person to create like that.

Thanks a lot! This really points me in a direction to start looking into more specifics. I do bring my own kit as much as possible (left handed drummer using a rack), and one of our sound engineers brings his mics as well, so sometimes we have that luxury.

But to purchase a decent set of mics that are at least the minimum quality of what a regular venue has would also set us back quite some money right? I do love the autonomy of it!

How hard (or annoying) would it be for the house mixer to patch it through? Is that something that can easily be done when it's known in advance?

And in terms of how standard it is, i have talked to other musicians as well, and this seems the general direction to go with, some add a bunch of other things as well (backing tracks, drum triggers, full song clicktracks etc).

Both offering endless possibilities! Although i do like the advancement in software synthezing there is something just better about directly manipulating sound through mechanical means.

Do you play live with mostly acoustic instruments, or is it analogue synths / sequencers? Because then you don't need a DAW. Easiest way to describe it is with the artist LOOK MOM NO COMPUTER. Not sure if you can use that as a verb though. 😁
