Look, this community is for seemingly STUPID questions. I have the dumb today and I didn’t come here to brain.

“I’d hire a prostitute for the occasion just so I can save her instead”

My experience with ProTools and Cakewalk 20ish years ago came in handy. Other than that, there are some really nice youtube tutorials available.

One thing worth mentioning is their excellent customer support. I signed up for the trial period, but then life happened, and I contacted them an explained my case and they were more than willing to reset my trial period so I could have a proper go.

After buying it I had a support request and they were both helpful and quick to help me resolve the issue.

I think that reverses the question. If you had to pick one, would you occasionally eat cheese or occasionally have sex with someone?

Bitwig. Excellent DAW that has a native linux build. I tried to like Ardour and many of the other open source alternatives, but they all felt cumbersome and not very mature.

Go for another round, maybe you’ll get Autism 2.0

On a more serious note, this is a question for your doctor, not strangers on the internet. I think those vaccines are the ones that are valid for life, and adding to it doesn’t make a difference, but I’m not sure, and I’m far from a medical professional.

The only real limiting factor is my family - If headed somewhere that isn’t work related, it would only make sense that they come with me, which increases cost, so driving only.

As for flights, sure, if it’s only me. I’ve accumulated enough points with most airlines to upgrade my seating to something really nice for free.

Steam + Proton, for the most part. Lutris for Kitten Space Agency.

Vit D is one of the easier vitamins in that you have to take ridiculous amounts over a long period for it to be a problem, while really small doses once in a while can still be helpful.

1000mg daily is considered a lot and is used for treating a high/severe deficiency. Despite not being deficient to a diagnostic degree I take a pill now and then (every few days, whenever I remember) to make sure I’m not deficient, since my region doesn’t really get any sunlight this time of year. I guess it averages out to maybe 200mg daily.

All day every day. I’m a linux user both at home and at work. The only closed source software I use is Bitwig, steam, and (most of) the games I play.

When I need software that does X, and I have multiple alternatives, my order of preference for exploring goes like this:

1. Anything that can be installed via apt-get
2. Same as above, but with added repos
3. Something found on github with a release ready for download
4. Same as above, but I build it myself
5. Closed source
6. Paid closed source

(Notice how snap isn’t in the list?)

Of course, quality of the software matters, which means the list isn’t 100% accurate in all cases. Bitwig is paid closed source, but I prefer that over Ardour, and it’s IMHO miles better.

I always considered wanking to be synonymous with masturbation, penile or not.

Is wanking a gendered activity, though?

Wanker.

Anyone in this thread who’s not?

I’m at a point in life where I’ve got most things that I need, so there’s not a whole lot frivolous spending to for me to do. When time allows and I have some extra money, I get another flight lesson logged. And once in a while I order another batch of electronics from digikey. Beyond that I mostly put money into upgrading the hundred year old house I live in.

EDIT: And an obscene amount of PETG for 3D printing. But I feel that at this stage that’s almost like groceries at this point, as most of what I print is functional/useful stuff.

I blokk har man vanligvis nok nisser som naboer

That value is subjective, and that it sounds like her thinking of it as an objective metric makes her a horrible person.

Also, obligatory aside, seeing as this is the internet: I didn’t fuck your mom. Nor would I; She sounds awful.

I don’t normally complain about immigration, but at least my fellow countrymen have the decency to put out some julegrøt for nissen…

Do what I did: Introduce them to D&D
