@codewiz 🙌🏼

@brunoph I've been watching a lot of the new zelda game on twitch

@codewiz :oof:

@lnxw48a1 heh, well I certainly hope they can win again

but I still think there is this sense among my friends and neighbors that Trump is viewed as such a failure that any Democrat can win

and I don't think that's true.

@lnxw48a1 But it's not a popular vote; it's a game.

"Democrats confront numerous disadvantages in our electoral system. House districts can be gerrymandered […] The Senate favors low-population-density states […] The Electoral College likewise inflates the representation of low-population states, giving a substantial edge to Republican presidential candidates. And the Supreme Court oversees it all, with its lifetime appointees nominated and confirmed by the GOP-advantaged president and Senate."

"To win the presidency, Democrats still need to prevail in states where the population isn't very progressive — or where it might be potentially progressive in some areas of policy (health care) but not in others (abortion, immigration, guns). Denying this fact won't make it go away."

I need to take better notes. This vocal demo sounds so good and I have no idea why. Of course I wouldn't bother to note the gear for a demo I have no intention of using…

@amaral I probably won't go to bed early, but maybe I'll work on music after dinner since it's not a work day, and all I did was read earlier 😊

@amaral no but I really should get up early and work if I ever want to finish anything. After my day job I'm generally useless.

@bkam I stayed at a hotel recently and the sound of the geothermal water pump made it difficult to fall asleep.

Construction noise would drive me bonkers. Good thing I live in an old neighborhood…

time to have dinner at 4 o'clock like a 70 year old man

@zacts_pi my "stable" environment was Gnome 3 on Ubuntu but Dash to Dock plugin recently failed :oof:

I'm back on Windows 10 for a while which supports the fancy sound card

reading and ripping dvds (that I own)

sometimes I think hopping computer platforms all the time makes me a little bit crazy

@mrjunge I was trying to think how I could move to Los Angeles without bringing all my instruments.

…there's no reason I can't do that in Buffalo, though (unless the market is just too small)

@lnxw48a1 yes, though I hardly need additional entertainment in Toronto.

The orchestra is playing Tchaikovsky for the first time. I really thought it would sell out. Maybe people aren't that into it.

I guess I'm ready for some kind of trip.

@mrjunge I'm joking

@amaral as in Borger Kronch yes

a fun weekend treat (if unhealthy food is a treat)

@codewiz likewise I can't seem to stick with it. I read Matthieu Ricard's book and it's brilliant, but if developing habits were easy, everyone would be well rested, in great shape, etc 😋
