I like coming here to get away from the real world. If you post a lot about the arts and/or instruments and gear, I'm probably going to follow you. If it's mainly sp*rts, p*litics, or p*rn, I probably won't. Nothing against them, just not my thing. Pics of guitars, pets and music links make me happy

I'll show everyone how to make them themselves. It's not too expensive either. Just buy these and put them in a standard patch panel. Then on the back side, plug all the spare USB cables you have laying around into a USB hub and you're done!

Data, it all goes to the computer

I made this USB patchbay 6 years ago thinking I'd probably never actually use it, but it's very convenient when I do need it

A 19 inch rack panel with 12 USB ports between 3 power conditioners. There is a dongle plugged into one and a USB cable plugged into another port, the rest are open

When I built my computer I put 13 USB ports in it. I also built this USB patchbay thinking I'd never need it. I'm glad I did, because I started using it this week

A patchbay made with 12 USB ports in a standard single 19 inch rack space with one power conditioner above it and two below it. You can see just a little bit of an old Alexis RA-100 below that

Another Google AI fail today. Had gift cards and I wanted to see if I could use them to pay on the store's app

Google AI: "No, it's not possible to use gift cards on that store's app"

Scroll past the annoying AI results to get real info

Store's FAQ page: "Yes, you can use gift cards on our app"

This is a tough one! Talking Heads, 5150, and Winwood

Trying to hit that magic nanosecond between when the DJ shut up and the music started

Just curious, why did you stop melatonin? Is there something I don't know? I try to skip doses when I'm already tired so I don't rely on it solely to get to sleep

Tom @pourmysongsout.bsky.social · Aug 29

Have you tried using cheaper, dirtier shoes?

Tom @pourmysongsout.bsky.social · Aug 29

Oddly for me, it's not a song, it's listening to the radio waiting to hear what's next. You didn't skip around on channels when you had to spin the dial in just right to get a clear signal

I saw Super Troopers 3 trending and wondered what it was about.
1st AI answer said it was fake and I was thinking of Starship Troopers 3.
2nd AI answer said it existed and told me where it could be streamed.
Finally after scrolling to real answers, I found out they're currently filming 3 now

I don't know, some fanbases can be rabid

It's Raining Again. It takes me right back to my childhood. Plus, how many other songs have a melodica solo?

Tom @pourmysongsout.bsky.social · Aug 29

I hope you feel better soon and the trip gets better!🙏

It's ironic that many of the videos I've seen on the Will Smith/AI audience controversy, seem to be made with AI

I'm depressed now realizing that it's been 40 years since that INXS album came out

Tom @pourmysongsout.bsky.social · Aug 25

That's so sad. We're losing all the independent music venues and clubs

Tom @pourmysongsout.bsky.social · Aug 16

That's quite the achievement!!!

I'm playing hamburger roulette at lunch today. I had ground beef I needed to cook or freeze while I was grilling steak the other day, so I made a bunch of burgers, and seasoned them differently but didn't label them. So I'll find out in about an hour whether I'm having teriyaki or Lawry's today

It's odd that in today's society, people could order 200 pounds of dog food and expect it to be delivered for free, but have no problem paying $20 in fees and tip to have an Adult Happy Meal delivered to them cold
