American here, saw my first movie in London last week and was horrified to find out their popcorn is simply salted??? It's not a permanent move but I simply cannot live like this. The popcorn is like half the reason I go to the theater, goddammit!

Bought some Flavacol, despite the fact that it seems to be recommended that you use it with the kernels themselves, and had a horrible time testing it on microwave popcorn -- it was wayyy too salty.

Anyone have any recommendations for liquid (open to salt-type toppings but it seems I would run into the same problem) toppings to add to already popped popcorn so I can fix my cinema experience??

Getting back into the game after over a year, was previously TH17, player level 215, was close to max 17 except walls.

Just used a book of building on my TH, looking for a chill clan that can help me get my bearings. I remember having fun with QC lalo in CWL but not much else. Down to do CWL once my offense is upgraded but I’ll probably be farming while the boost is active. Open to discord. Currently on GMT for the next year but will be back on PST eventually.

LogicPro amateur here -- only ever used it to record live instruments and vocals through my audio interface. Living abroad for the next year and some change without my instruments so I wanted to take this opportunity to really familiarize myself with logic and virtual instruments.

In terms of portability, I'll mostly be using it in my apartment but I won't have a dedicated music space; looking at used mini MIDI controllers so that I can sell it, or if I fall in love with it and want to take it home (where I have my 88 key weighted keyboard) it won't take up too much space.

I've narrowed it down to the Alturia Minilab 3 and the Akai Mini Plus. They're the same price on secondhand, anyone have any experience with either of these or any advice?

Here are my thoughts so far:

- My main instrument is piano/keys -- 37 keys on the Akai, which I'm already used to bc of my melodica, seems better than 25. (Counterpoint -- if I'm just doing chords and voicings on the controller, maybe 25 is enough?)

- People say the keys feel better on the Alturia? Which appeals to me as a pianist BUT I also play the organ so I'm not turned off by weird keys lol

- I've heard a lot of praise for Alturia's virtual instrument suite which -- along with the controller itself -- anecdotally seems to be more readily usable with Logic as opposed to the Akai. I haven't explored all the LogicPro instruments yet but this seems to be worth some consideration.

- Transport, play, record buttons on the Akai Mini Plus seems to be a function people enjoy

pretty much the title! would prefer EF - M nibs, but down to try something new.
