Looks like we're finally getting some decent ones for Marion county. Anyone know of one for Ham Co?

We just had historic rains here in Indiana a few weeks ago, and while my area wasn't affected by flooding, I had a situation where we got water in the house on the ground floor. (I think from a toilet drain on the slab) I had drained a bathtub upstairs, which I suspect was the reason.. water that was downstairs looked clean - not sewage.

• Questions: It sounds like maybe I already have a backflow prevention device in place - (only clean water came out when the tub was drained.. doesn't seem like outside water came in) How would I know for sure?
• Is there a way I could stop this situation from happening assuming there is a backflow device? ..other than just not using the drains when ground water is high?

I'm playing around with a 30 year old recording of one of my old bands. All I have are wavs we burned CDs with. Overall, for the time, it's not bad, but one track clipped at some point in the mix chain, and another has a WAY too loud snare, and some clicky finger-style bass. I also want to build in a little headroom so I can master more appropriately.

I had some luck with the stem split tool and spectral repair/attenuate on the clicky bass. Sounds good when I put the stems back together. The snare has been a little more challenging. The same process mostly works, but it's a lot more time consuming (who knew there were so many snare hits in a 4 minute song) and find similar doesn't seem to get all of them before picking up the kick too. It also leaves more reverb/room sound.

Anyway, questions:

• Anyone have better approaches for this?
• Any thoughts on whether manipulating the "stems" and then putting them back together causes serious artifacts? I can't audibly detect anything, but IDK how great my ears are. and I ask because the separation isn't perfect - the stems sound kind of warbly, and sometimes parts of an instrument wind up in another stem.

background - 48 m. I'd been carrying a decent amount of fitness from cycling until the pandemic when my life fell apart in several ways. (major illness, layoffs, housing insecurity) some things are worked out now and I'm trying to get back into a routine on the bike, jogging and light weights.

I'm out of shape. problem is that I'm starting to have minor injuries. insertional achilles tendonitis, TFCC issue every time I even think about yoga, etc, etc. so, I'm trying to stretch more, but at this point, I'm spending as much time stretching as I am working out, and it's already hard to carve out time for either.

So what are you all doing for stretching? specific targeted stretches? rotating routine? focusing on preventing specific injuries? I'm just trying to figure out a balance.

anyone had luck with this? If I try to use a torrented EZX, EZdrummer wants me to login to authorize. (or offline authorize, which is probably a better route)

Similarly , when I installed a cracked superior 3, superior3 doesn't show up in vsts AND then EZdrummer says no ezx's installed, even though they were there before. I think that might be more a changing default paths thing, but IDK

just curious others' experiences

It seems like in the past few months there have been 3-4 power outages in my area - as many as the previous 3 years. (i'm near 37 and 131st)

Anyone know what's up with these / cause?

I've got a dead 12T hgst drive sitting in my closet. at the time it croaked, it seemed like repair wasn't really an option. with prices climbing, I'm wondering if there's been any emergence of repair services. (I'm guessing not, but hell, you never know)

Maybe that's worded weird. I don't have a place I can play loud, but I want to get drum tracks into ableton, and midi rolls and hand drum interfaces just don't do it.

Really could get by with just kick, snare, hat and crash. need a brain with midi our or usb that can send midi. sensitivity needs to be pretty good. sounds don't need to be great, but one usable "rock" kit helps for monitoring.

In the past I had a roland TD-12kx that did this pretty well. a few years ago I got to try out some more modern sets, and the TD-11 seemed to get it done.

is there anything more affordable that would work?

I got one of these second hand, and it's really unclear what I have to do to upload data.

I have an omron blood pressure device that uploads data to the app with 0 intervention on my part after it's connected. the BCM-500 seems like it uploads sometimes and not others? Sometimes it seems like I have to push the bluetooth button everytime to upload, or push the set button while the user #1 flashes.

can anyone tell me how it's actually supposed to work?

I've got over 10 years in UX as a career, and did some basic development type coursework way back when, but all of my professional work has been really siloed. Learn about user problems, design something, throw it over the wall.. all of that air traffic controlled by a PM, PO or someone else.

I'm interested in participating in open source project, but I have no idea how to go about it or how the work ends up being different than the corp work I've experienced.

Can any one point me in a direction?

Just curious if folks could share numbers that they've encountered. I don't want to reach out to builders/manufacturers for quotes and end up on their spam lists.

I know this can vary greatly and is impacted by where you are in the country, but I'm just looking for ballpark lower limits.

Anyone have anything they can share?

I'm considering career change, but no matter what I put in the search, it gives me jobs based off of my list of jobs and skills. I understand why this is beneficial most of the time, but I'm purposely looking for something other than these jobs.

Anyone know a way to do this short of trying to create a second account?

I've been searching, assuming there's a calculator of somekind out there, but not finding it.. tried their belt drive assistant tool, and it does a lot of things, but doesn't tell me what 32T/17T converts to in gates sprocket/cog teeth, or what length belt I need.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As title says.. most videos I have work fine. fisheye, 180, 360, etc.. I have a handful of older ones that stay in split screen when playing back in heresphere. Is there a setting to make them play correctly?

I've been on stimulants before - I was diagnosed ADHD back in the 2000s. It helped me get things done, but I eventually acclimated and at doses where it did anything, it's bad effects outweighed the good ones.

Now that I have an ASD Dx, I have a different perspective.. 1. that I've been in autistic burnout all of my adult life, and 2. that stimulants might actually help me unmask. I can't reign in the energy I have as much now, and I'm likely to say things that I mean and feel that I usually would mask away. For example, in therapy, I can tell my therapist now that I don't think she understands me, or that she's wrong, or not getting what I'm trying to say. In another example, today at work I had a video call with a new teammate. we said the things we needed to say, and there was like 20 minutes left. they were like "do you have more questions for me?" and I was like "nope. holler at me if you need anything" rather than trying to think of small talk.

This will probably get me into trouble eventually, but it seems kind of exciting to tell people I don't care about whatever it is they're trying to bother me with.

no questions or advice sought.. Just wanted to share this with you folks.

I don't know what it is, but I can't deal with it. I can drink most other things other than plain water. I have problems with hydration, so I'm always trying to solve it. I've been drinking green tea. I make a 2l kettle in the morning and drink it all day.. but it's causing my teeth to hurt for a day after, regardless of whether I drink it hot or cold or in between. So I'm back to the drawing board.

My openclaw has been shitting the bed everytime I try to update to current stable release. I pull a backup, give it the logs, tell it something went wrong, and it does it again.

It's initial thought was that it was something to do with plugin versions being out of sync with the harness, but there seems to be a bigger problem with the provider naming.

I just pulled another backup, and this time the known-good backup is throwing:

>Agent failed before reply: OAuth token refresh failed for openai-codex: OpenAI Codex token refresh failed (401): { "error": {"message": "Your refresh token has already been used to generate a new access token. Please try signing in again.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": "refresh_token_reused"} }. Please try again or re-authenticate.

Seems like something strange is afoot at the circle K. Can anyone tell me what's going on and if there's a fix?

There was a sign about a liquor license, and now there are big tanks. Gas station? With booze?

I'm completely burnt out at work, and been laid off enough times that I'm pretty much constantly worried I wont be able to pay the mortgage. (I make good money, but jobs in my field are getting scarce and any other job I could get cold would be at least a 50% pay cut) On top of that I realized how much I'd still owe on the mortgage after retirement... woof.

So I'm thinking about selling my place and getting a trailer or junky house in a rural suburb, or some other low CoL place that can be bought outright or paid off in less than a dozen years. (I'm fortunate to be able to work remote right now) and then the next time work is stupid, I'd be safe enough to tell them where to go, and go do something else.

Anyone done this? anyone want to talk me down? haha.
