Since the pandemic of COVID, I started taking my hygiene really very serious. I wash my hands as often as possible and keep my hand sanitizers close by. My health is a big priority I don't joke with.

Do you wash your hands regularly?

seriously, who even uses these? theyre always stiff, unreliable, or just get in the way when youre trying to scroll normally. i get that some mice have them as a 'feature' but its such a niche use case and doesnt justify the annoyance every time i see someone claim its a must-have im like... for what? spreadsheets? even then ctrl+arrow keys are faster. the only thing worse is when they try to map them to volume or browser back/forward and it just misfires half the time. if youre modding a mouse and considering keeping the tilt, just... dont. youll thank yourself later. anyone else rip these out of their mice or am i the only one who thinks theyre more trouble than theyre worth?

Everyone talks about Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, and Dimebag Darrell.

Who's a guitarist that deserves way more recognition than they get?

Bonus points if you drop a song recommendation.

every writeup or post about a set lately is like 'the dj took us on a journey through sound' and idk man it just feels overused. cant it just be a good set. like yeah some sets build and shift moods but do we need the 'journey' label every time. seems like people are trying too hard to make it sound deep when its just music. also if every set is a 'journey' then none of them are. also while im here — has anyone checked out those new 60g tactile switches. way too heavy for me but curious if anyone likes em.

Do you like using 12 hours time format or 24 hours time format? Using 12 hours format is very easy for me to tell time with. 24 hours format is awkward which is why I don't like it.

Do you use 12 hours or 24 hours format?

Farm Aid has announced its 2026 edition which will happen September 26 in Virginia Beach. This will be the first time the charity festival has been in that city and tickets go on presale on Wednesday, June 10 at 10 AM Eastern, with the general on-sale starting Friday, June 12 at 10 AM.

The 2026 lineup includes Farm Aid founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young (& The Chrome Hearts) and John Mellencamp, plus Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, Mon Rovîa, I’m With Her, Amythyst Kiah, Lily Meola and Chris Pierce.

“Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too,” says Willie Nelson. “The challenges farmers face threaten their livelihoods and put all of us at risk. We’re bringing Farm Aid to Virginia to stand with the farmers and fishers who feed Hampton Roads and beyond — and to grow a food system that works for everyone.”

Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $90 million to support “programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.”

How much do you rate birthdays? I used to love them and celebrated each of my birthdays but recently I lost that touch or feeling of doing so.

Have you ever had this experience? How do I get this feeling back?

Subtitles helps when you don't understand the language of any movie you're watching. It's helpful when I'm watching Chinese movies and drama. I love using them to see a movie. Subtitles is a yes for me whenever seeing any movie.

Do you like subtitles?

like, i was blasting this one track earlier today on my way to grab groceries (yeah, riveting life i lead) and it hit *so* differently compared to when i played it at home. honestly something about the rhythm lining up with the road noise and the scenery whizzing by just makes it feel like the song was made for that exact moment and its not even a road trip song or anything, just a random indie track with some guitar and synths idk if its the bass vibrating through the car or the fact that youre kind of in this weird headspace when youre driving — half autopilot, half zoning out — but it always feels more cinematic even songs i dont normally care about suddenly feel epic when im doing 60 on the highway. anyone else get this or am i just weird for thinking my car is a better sound system than my actual speakers?
