| I need an affordable printer for a book I am working on that is a cross between a fanzine, a graphic novel and old school collage. I need to print out graphic design elements that I can then cut, manipulate, and paste into a collage or canvas. I've heard of the Epson Ecotank system, but was wonderin... |

| Sorry, when you said "some day" I wasn't sure if you were just being nice or if you actually meant "share something today". I'm always sincere with those sorts of comments, I'm too inherently disagreeable to say things just to be nice. :lol: Unfortunately SoundCloud keeps giving... |

| Awesome. I'd like to hear your recordings some day. Thanks. I used to have a lot of stuff on the web but I took it all down when it no longer met my standards. I’m currently working on a record, but the only thing I have up now is this short experimental piece that isn’t a song so much as something... |

| Hi. I play guitar. I started late in life, in my late 20s. I started playing by accident, which, coincidentally, is a lot like how I discovered autism. I was just a big music fan who had zero desire to play an instrument because I’d always bought into the conventional belief that adults can’t learn ... |

| Liam Gallagher has gone on record multiple times saying how much he loves and respects the Sex Pistols, and they refused to show up to accept their RRHoF induction. So perhaps he's trying to copy them a bit. (And he's also a bit of an edgelord, despite his music being more appealing to teenage girls... |

| Of course, as you suggest, it's not healthy to let your past define you. Having said that, my life spiralled out of control long before I ever got a chance to understand why, (I sought help at an early age but was misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated and medicated many times), and so the present... |

| As many late-diagnosed adults are prone to do, I have been revisiting and re-evaluating my past. This includes asking my mother a lot of questions about my childhood. But it quickly became apparent that she was resisting my investigation, and was clearly trying to paint my childhood as normal and ha... |

I am still struggling to come to terms with it, in part because I had already been struggling with several battles including misdiagnosed and untreated co-morbid mental health issues, and pove... |

| Not all recorded music is intended to be a faithful recreation of a live performance. This was arguably the Beatles' greatest legacy as they were the first artists to realize the creative potential of the studio by discarding the assumption that everything on a record has to be playable live.

I nearly called an ambulance at one point, and I was left with a severe dry cough that lingered for over a month. My building has many Chinese foreign students, so hmm... I got N95 masks a... |

I can't think of any social benefits to size or muscles other than it makes bullies and crooks think twice ab... |

He had no friends and no interests outside of sports. My 70-some year old Autistic mother is doing similar: avoidant sleep schedule (up at 2 pm, asleep ... |

But I'm terrible at making my tracks sound as clear as they should, blending them together as they should be, panning them evenly and mixing them down. I can't afford a SkillShare acc... |
