They get their kudos in party reviews, but how about a thread dedicated to the photon wizardry of the lighting crew, both upstairs and down?

Special highlights for me yesterday were the twinkling blue lights while the LED surfed around the room during Floorplan and all sorts of theater during Daria's set. Considering that lighting cues generally have to manually programmed, and the perspective from the lighting desk is totally different from being on the dance floor, it is truly remarkable how trippy yet coordinated it all looks.

To be fair, Berghain has a decent budget on blinking thingies, but they can do more with basic effects than others do with dozens of moving heads

I know, hot take, but hear me out. When I was growing up up (80s and 90s), pop music often had a faster and more rhythmic beat. Madonna, MJ, Whitney, Mariah, Gorge Michael, etc. Something changed in the mid 90s and the ballads started taking over. There was still the wave of britney, gaga, and whatnot, but a lot of the popular music I've noticed has been more about sonic than rhythmic textures.

The 80s and 90s were also when electronic music developed into a format that was accessible enough for the youth to get into it. The 00s were pretty shit for dance music. Blame prog, blame minimal, blame whatever. it was a lost decade.

We've now got this movement of people who might be adopting some

Hey, i switched to pipewire and Ray session and there are 2 nagging issues. One is that there can be noise if a source is connected to both internal and external sound cards. The other is that Chrome sites do not necessarily connect to the external card properly or at all. By properly i mean that it is a dj controller with 2 pairs of outputs and they are being treated as front and rear when the stereo signal needs to be routed to both.

Saving a profile doesn't do anything and we ages that freeze to save memory lose their connection.

I'm using Manjaro if it matters. Any ideas?

Good thing it's free to enter, because it was a waste of time and unfortunate usage of tax money. So disappointing. I'd hate to have brought kids there, because the most common sign was not to touch anything

Not only was the bus driver friendly, he got on the mic when I got out to tell me where I needed to go to get my connection. Bravo!

Almost 6 years a couple, but not living together. After much talking , we opened up. She had concerns, so she took the lead of both setting up dating profiles and meeting people, which I was perfectly fine with. Our guideline was basically for her to do her thing, but let me know after any escalation to see if I was still comfortable. After she hooked up with a couple different guys, I got the green light to do my own thing, too, but she did not want to know about any of my interactions. This eventually made her nervous in terms of assuming the worst in what I was up to. After some time, I gently told her that I had also hooked up. 2 months later, I met someone where we had crazy good sex.

43 years old, 6'2", 200lbs. I did some pushups and stuff earlier in life, but only started the gym thing a few years ago. Wish I'd done so sooner! In my 20s and 30s i had a few back injuries due to doing stupid things with awkward heavy objects.

I'm very proud of my progress, using mostly machines, with free weights for the odd exercise. Where I'm getting caught up is my lower back not keeping up with gains elsewhere. An example is that i could leg press 2x my body weight. My legs were fine, but I'd lose weeks after my back spasmed. Thinking that i was deficient there, i focused on it using a back extension machine, getting up to my body weight in extra resistance, and the same thing happen

So after time and discussion, my gf and i are moving in a direct where she is comfortable with me casually dating others. She has already dated and gotten physical with others. I don't have any jealousy issues and actually slightly get off on the compersion, but she isn't there yet.

We plan on connecting singles profiles where applicable, like on feeld, and agree that our time together is exclusively for us, barring any sort of mutually enthusiastic group encounter, but she doesn't really want to know what i might be up to in my own time. We live in separate flats.

Don't ask, don't tell is known for fucking things up, but at least initially, she'd rather not know whether I'm having a date

My cat is almost 17 and has developed polyps which have resulted in many an ear infection over the past 2 years. She's otherwise very full of life and energy, but the vet is wary about the stress of getting them removed. I end up having to give her twice daily topical antibiotics every couple months, which is a major annoyance for both of us.

Has anyone found a solution for effective treatment which requires less frequent applications?

As the title asks...

My gf and I are at a point where she's had a number of casual dates which haven't yet gotten physical and we are discussing the ramifications of me doing similar. The situation is obviously not currently balanced, but is appropriate for our history, etc.

As she does get messages on her phone already, she is wondering how to handle mine, as part of the delay of me opening up is her evolving through jealousy issues. She is afraid to wonder that every time I'm in the bathroom that I'm messaging someone, for example. On the other hand, she appreciates the potential mystery that i might be talking to someone. I'm not really a flirt in text, but what if my potential other is
