looks cool but kind of alot of $$$ i mean 500 is more in lineI would if I could…
60, I own 2 businesses that require my attention and presence, plus I do a full time consultancy as a software dev so 60+ hours a week is pretty normal for me and I work every weekend. I am not rich but I live a good life. I would take a little of that "boring and monotonous" once in a while but no complaints, I chose this life. Count your blessings folks, no telling when the train stops.I'm 64, got kids 35-40, retired, no more house, and only $5K in debt.
I actually envy where you're at sometimes. Life back then was challenging but also much more rewarding in lots of little ways each day.
Just having your kids around all of the time is so great.
Now is nice without all of the deadlines and financial pressures, but all too often boring and monotonous as hell.

I HATE those videos, with all the fiber in my bodyI’ve never watched them. I get my rant fix from reading this forum.
I think he has a point in the few I've watched...but all of those could be a YT short because the point can be said in a minute.Do you like his "Rant" videos ?
I always ask for ownership of anything we pay for in the NRE phase including molds for plastics. If it is tooling within a bending machine, then I ask for the specs for said tooling along with a complete path to production for the part.I worked for an OEM and we had solid agreements with the few major factories we dealt with in Asia.
The challenge was having so many different clients, each with their own experience level on how it works.
And project sizes and costs were all over the map.
JBL Professional tooled up an entire commercial in-ceiling product line (huge deep drawn steel back-cans)
including all of the accessory bracket SKUs, all at once. Our quote package to them had to have been a
couple dozen pages.
Then the next day I'd be working with Event on developing a single 2-way monitor which would be a single page
The real weird part with amortization came with ownership during the pay-off period.
Customer wanted to own all of the tooling outright with the initial PO.
We obviously couldn't agree to that so negotiations would always be 'interesting'.

True that..Although some times excessive listening of post-rock sends me even deeper into despair
I mean, sure. But some of the responses to extremely minor or far removed crimes are so over the top… I’m starting to think some of you guys have that stink stuck in your sinuses.Rabea seems cool and is a good player but Neural has a stink on them and that infects every conversation they come up in.
Full disclosure: I haven’t seen the video in question yet. But I’m honestly wondering how some of you have survived the Roland guitar synth demos over the years. You must still be in therapy.In my opinion, the theatrics of the “performance” are just cringy. Sure, everyone makes faces when playing guitar, but the whole thing looks forced and overdramatized. It may be fine for a live show, but by himself in a basement for the sake of a YouTube video? Sorry, but it’s just ridiculously over the top IMO.
I guess I’d feel differently if it hadn’t been filmed in his studio and was more of a music video with a full band. It just comes off as a kid with his toys in his basement.
ALL of the Pilot’s Guides were gold, man.The OG? Not the line of them that followed with heads and stuff.
The very first release with the hilarious instruction manual was great!
All of it, obvs.Further development to the Dual Cortex concept. What kind of I/O would you like to see on the back?
Scrolled past this one in a hurry. Thought, “wait, who was that?” Scrolled back. Yep.looks cool but kind of alot of $$$ i mean 500 is more in line
