Meanwhile, Elvis's ex-wife Priscilla was visiting the Graceland in Denmark of all places. Guess she didn't want to meet Trump.

I do, and they did.

Wind, hydro and solar were the only sources of energy long before somebody decided to revolutionize the industry using coal and oil. They also burned wood though, but even that is more sustainable than fossil fuels.

Jeg var selv på kort visit til en VU fest i 1990erne. De havde samme adfærd dengang. Racisme, sexisme og heil'en osv. Det var muligvis umoden kådhed, men det var ikke bare for sjov.

Bees and wasps will eventually die if they're moved away from their hives, but flies have relatively short lives, so they don't waste their time with settling down.

There's really no clear definition of what a mansion is.

In my opinion it's when a house is big enough and has enough separate bathrooms that you can have guests living there without having to host them or even meet the guests in your private rooms.

I guess two autocampers would do, but you'd have to throw a tarp over the foyer between them, to show that it's one house and not just two RVs parked closely.

Too bad for people who are monthly paid.

Los Angeles was founded in 1781. They didn't have cars then.

It takes years to design a new car model. It's quite a risk to bet on combustion engines at this point.

While the world wide adoption of EVs is only about 20% of all new car sales (for personal cars), the statistics for countries that were early adopters shows that this figure doesn't just increase, it accelerates when it comes over 1%, which it is almost everywhere.

So, it might seem reasonable to bet on the type of car that sells 80% on the market now, but that market is going to look very difficult by the time the cars are ready for production. Consumers have spoken: They want to buy EVs.

They'd scramble around until some washed up actor decides to get into politics.

Speaking from experience, a $14b bonfire doesn't really compare to a $14b clown show of ludicrous incompetence.

I have questions.

What steps did they take? They didn't take any steps.

Who's hurting more? The gas prices in US has increased by 50%. I don't see that anywhere else. This is partially because we already pay a lot more in fixed taxes, so the gas prices alone doesn't cause the same kind of spikes. Of course we still pay more for it as usual, but the current increase of about 10% doesn't hurt us as much as it hurts the Americans.

What green energy scams is he talking about? Green energy works. I wouldn't call it a stable price, as it fluctuates like the wind, but on average I'm paying less for charging my car than I did last year, and I'm expecting the price to drop. It was always cheaper than gas per milage, still is and certainly will be even more so in the future. Big scam huh.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

I get notifications on new messages that don't show in the inbox, and mark as read doesn't clear the message from unread.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
