Velcro: The Solution To Everything.

I have this Yamaha DD-65 drum set. For the high hat and kick drum, there were only small foot switches instead of pedals.
Last year I mentioned to my friends that I needed a MIDI bass drum trigger, but not being musicians, the got together and bought me a normal kick drum pedal for Christmas.
To make it work with the simple switch that came with the DD-65, I used sticky Velcro on the back of the switch and attached it to the side of my Squire BP-15 bass amp.
Works great!

Works great until the bass amp slides away at the gig.

I was buying some new shoes the other day and the salesman asked me if I wanted to try some that were quicker to do up because they had velcro fasteners instead of laces.
 
I said sure, why knot?

You were not tongue tied then?
 

Just received a shipment of a 1.5"x32" long aluminum tube wrapped in about 10 yards of the stuff.
 
Good Times
:)

According to Homer Simpson, it's alcohol that's "the cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems".
 
All my cables are tied up with velcro fasteners. But most important, my lava lamp is held in place by velcro, allowing me to attach it to a mic stand cupholder.

I used to have pants with Velcro flys. My gf loved those.

and as you can see my wickid computer programming skills were learned from crappy 80's sci fi movies...
 
So you can trust me.
 
I know what I'm doing.

And now as good as Mr. Robot is, it has, at times, some pretty crappy examples of programming in Linux. Might as well just be a bunch of ls -l commands with an occasional tail -100 command thrown in.

I was wondering whether they were using proper programming/hacking techniques. In fact I'd love to hear any of our programming gurus give a critique of Mr. Robot's accuracy.
 
I watched the first couple seasons but have been saving them up (because I prefer watching a show AFTER it's done or at least has a couple seasons under its belt) and it was cool enough. Kind of like "Fight Club" meets "Hackers" but considering how hyper accurate shows like this can get nowadays I was hoping they were staying true to the reality of THAT side of it.
 
But I guess (and you'll have to clarify, baps and/or other program hounds who watch MR. Robot) if they are avoiding just putting sheer jibberish on the screen (like ZOMG SCROLLING ONES AND ZEROES!! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!) and showing actual command lines and actions and yadda friggen yadda (I'm also certified in YADDA programming... it's pretty obscure... you've probably never heard of it).
 
Also seems like the perfect opportunity for them to toss in some programming nerd jokes throughout the series.
 
Which I could totally get behind even if I would not understand them. In fact that was kind of what I hoped they were doing.

I think I want to learn a whole bunch of programming languages. Like even the ancient and obscure ones.
 
Not to actually program anything.
 
Just to write idiotic programming jokes to insert into pop culture.

I think the Bakers should make this topic a sticky.
 
(I should also point out that, chemically, alcohol IS a solution.)

Sorry to nitpick, but alcohol is a solvent, not a solution.
 
Metamucil is a solution.
