Pretty sure you can be a decent pirate with a hook for a hand buddy. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

I haven’t had enough sleep and read this as you having an 82 year old girlfriend when you were 12

Have you read the story of Panko breadcrumbs?

It came from food and fuel shortages in WW2 where the ingredients for bread but no ovens or equipment to cook it into anything. One guy hooked a bunch of dough up to a car battery and electrocuted it and created a crustless loaf with a weird texture. He also discovered this weird texture made for great even sized crumbs with a uniform colour and after the war ended decided to turn it into a business.

Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!

I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol

Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?

I had to do a module programming in VHDL for my EE degree.

Every time I see it mentioned anywhere I have a compulsion to scream: FUCK VHDL AND ITS FUCKING ERRORS! NO YOUR ANALYSIS & SYNTHESIS IS UNSUCCESSFUL!

I did not pursue a career in electronics…

Brexit means brexit

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

Where were you hearing it?

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song

It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

Also known as a “dub siren”

Looking up the terms “jus soli” and “jus sanguinis” might be of interest to you. Basically it’s different for different countries.

Booyakasha

The most annoying thing was them adding that bullshit to my current mouse’s software without warning.

Logi AI prompt crap I don’t need or want, that I can’t disable, keeps starting up if I kill the process, eating 5-10% of my CPU cycles.

Thankfully there was enough backlash to knock that on the head and they now let you disable it but they seriously got caught up with their own hype there.

Doesn’t need phone numbers anymore

Wouldn’t go for a full ARM64 system (yet anyway). Too many software incompatibilities. You can pick up the lenovo m-series tiny machines used for dirt cheap and have full x86 compatibility and way faster specs + expandable storage/ram for (m93p tiny, m700, m720 etc). They’re a little bigger than a rpi and use a bit more power but it will save a ton of headaches.

Making the switch to any linux distro is a big jump already, you don’t want to create unnecessary problems.

You want to be looking for IEMs (In Ear Monitors) in your searches to yield the best results at that price range.

At $360 they’re pretty far out of your budget but the Moondrop Dusk just got released and they come with a good USB-C DAC cable. I mention them because they also sell the cable separately and will work with most 2pin (non-recessed) IEMs.

I received mine a couple of weeks ago and I’m thoroughly impressed with them and would even consider them good enough to mix with. They hold up well against Senn HD650s which I normally use to mix when I’m not using my monitors.

But if you need to stick to that price range, the Moondrop Aria are also very good for the money (I own them too) and you could get the separate USB-C headphone cable all close to your budget.

I know I seem like a shill for Moondrop but they are pretty much the best price to performance IEM manufacturer at the moment.

You can also switch the theme to base16 to use your term colours
