How's your week been?
  • I got my new red hair and I'm loving it. ;-) ( picture available on request )

    Also went to Busch Gardens this past Saturday. It was alot of fun. Went with my gf, gf's Mom, and gf's sister. Seemingly went fine...? Idk if I pass or if they just don't mind...

    I also saw my endocrin on Monday. We're waiting on test results. But depending on how that goes I might get an increased dose of E ;-)

  • What are you going to be better at by the end of the year?
  • I use 2 pieces of software.

    One is called "Ultimate Vocal Remover". Free and available on GitHub. It's a piece of software that seperates the vocals from the instrumentals. It's a little bit complicated to setup but once you got it setup you can just drag and drop the original audio in and then it spits out all the different tracks and stuff.

    Then I use another one called "KdenLive". Also Free download. This one is basically a video editor. And can be used to create the text for lyrics. It can also do animations and such. Admittedly it's a lot of work if you want to animate the lyrics haha. You basically have to line up the highlighting with each syllable in the word. Doing it without highlighting is a lot easier but also less precise. So pros and cons. ( I'm the meticulous type haha, it's just time consuming).

    A friend of mine helped research this for me as they too wanted to do karaoke videos. And then they taught me while showing me their screen. We're considering creating a tutorial video for others but we haven't got around to it yet.

    ;-)

    Lookup "Impulse Karaoke" on YouTube if you want to see my work. Though currently I only have 2 songs so far. I'm trying to do 1 song per month. I have a list I'm working off of. We'll see what happens after that.

  • What are you going to be better at by the end of the year?
  • I started learning how to make karaoke videos. Because the songs I like to sing are not readily available in karaoke format on YouTube.

    I made a channel for it and everything 😉 I'm getting ready to publish my 2nd video very soon.

    My goal is to try to do 1 song per month at a minimum. But, I do also have a day job and life stuff to juggle. So the YouTube channel is just a hobby.

  • How's your week been?
  • I got my meds like I mentioned in a previous thread. So I'm good in that regard.

    Some serious stuff happened at work that resulted in some legal issues. It wasnt my fault thankfully. But I am involved with the evidence collection process. Go figure.

    And I've been playing alot of Final Fantasy 14 recently. Mostly on Sundays.

    Oh yeah and I'm getting my hair dyed this week!

    Overall doing a lot better. So that's good.

  • How's your week been?
  • My one issue this week is that Im bad and I forgot to check the amount of pills I had. By the time I realized I was running out of Spiro it was too late. I filled the prescription and I'm getting it tomorrow so that's good. But I missed 2 days worth of doses. 2 pills twice a day.

    Possibly a placebo effect but I do feel weird. I can't wait to start taking it again normally.

    I am still taking my other pills normally like my Estradiol. And a few other things unrelated to HRT. I'm just trying to hang in there. Heres hoping it's ready on time and I can get my Spiro tomorrow.

  • EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it
  • IMO, I still think there's not enough infrastructure to support charging EVs. Don't get me wrong I've seen some. Just... Not a lot. Until charging is as prevalent as gas its just not worth it. Or if you have a house I guess.

    In some areas I hear it's good. But in my area there's only 1 set of charging stations at a Wawa that I know of. And that Wawa is an hour drive away. Plus I'm at a rental complex that mows the lawns regularly and having a cable run from my house to the car is not allowed.

    My current gas operated vehicle has about 160000 miles on it. I'm hopeful that my vehicle will last a long time. And then when my vehicle dies, I'll look at the infrastructure again and see if it's beneficial for me to switch to an EV. I'm going to continue to wait until it's beneficial for me to buy a new car.

    We'll see how it goes.

  • who comes decides country who comes this to who
  • OK so, this is a really weird way to read it and doesn't make any sense. But i think i got it. IMO makes the most sense. Start from the bottom kinda.

    "Who comes to this country decides who comes."

    And the "Who" that is sideways is probably a logo. For whatever they're trying to push or advertise. And not actually apart of the phrase.

  • Do you use a case with your handheld emulators or do you raw dog them?
  • I have a few retro devices.

    • Pistation (basically a mini playstation 1: I modded the case with a exacto knife in order to fit a "Indiedroid Nova" in it)
    • SF2000 (SNES Controller with a screen, only plays older games though. Like before n64.)
    • GPi case. (A game boy with a cartridge slot. Supports Raspberry pi zero. I also have a cartridge that supports the RPi 4 compute module although idk if you can still get it.)
    • Modded PSP
    • Modded 3ds XL
    • Samsung Galaxy S24+ ( I might buy a Gamesir X2 Wireless controller for it. )

    Those are ones I have off the top of my head. I don't remember if I have other ones.

  • without saying how old you are, how old are you?
  • I don't remember playing the math game. Maybe I did idk. But I remember playing like a matching game like Othello maybe or was it like tic tac toe I don't remember.

    And I also watched alot of NOVA space related videos and content. I like space. :-)

  • without saying how old you are, how old are you?
  • My family had the Prodigy internet service when I was a kid.

    Obligatory modem noises:

    dooodooodoodododoo....dooodooo...doooo.dooo.dooodooodooo EEEEHHHHRRRRHHHHHEHEEHHHARRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

  • It's Friday - What are your plans for the week-end?
  • Every Saturday I've been going to my local game store and playing various card and/or board games.

    A lot of the time we play Magic the Gathering. Sometimes we play Dungeons and Dragons.

    But I also have a whole backpack of a bunch of other games I bring for variety sake.

    Just recently I finally got my physical copy of "Fools Blade". It's a new card game where players collect sword parts and craft their own swords to go adventuring (both PvE and PvP). I'm super stoked to play it.
