Palms was released in 2018 and Thrice fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a follow-up album. Obviously, in between the release the world has completely gone down the drain with the pandemic and the political situation in the US being so volatile.
In a recent Tweet by frontman Dustin Kensrue, he showed work being done on some Thrice demos

We know Dustin is working on new Thrice material because someone asked in a reply and he responded in the most Dustin way possible with a Schitt’s Creek gif referencing the word Thrice.
I have gone down the path of streaming my drum playing as I learn to become a better drummer. There are a few ways you can stream with audio, but here is how I do it.
While the title specifically references Roland, this guide will work for any electronic drum kit, whether it be Alesis or some other brand. You just need the ability to pass the sound out of your kit. You either use dedicated outputs or a nifty trick using the headphone output.
When it comes to developing on WordPress locally, you have a few options. You have the tried and tested XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP and if you’re feeling adventurous: Docker.
I will recommend an option that isn’t any of the above, it’s one you might not even be familiar with, but spoiler alert: it’s the best. It’s called Local, and it’s the best way to develop WordPress sites locally.
What makes Local one of the best options around for WordPress development is:
We can all agree 2020 was a write off, as far as many are concerned, 2020 doesn’t exist, it didn’t have. Everyone’s favourite musical Australian hybrids Twelve Foot Ninja despite not releasing a new album and saving 2020, have announced a new album is coming 2021 (better late than never).
It appears the boys have been busier than a cat burying catshit in concrete. 2020 has been saved, it’s just being saved in 2021 instead.
At first I thought this was a joke. But the dirty bird (KFC) has teamed up with CoolerMaster to create the aptly titled KFConsole. It’s a high end PC that can keep your chicken warm with an inbuilt chicken warmer that uses the system heat, but also has some beefy specs for what would seem to many as a gimmick and thought was never real after KFC teased it in early 2020 after the ps5 reveal.
One of my favourite additions to Aurelia 2 is proper support for Shadow DOM and with it, the ability to encapsulate my styles on a per-component basis, it works well most of the time. However, if you’re using a CSS library such as Bootstrap or legacy CSS, you will need to add in some global CSS styling.
Fortunately, Aurelia makes it easy to add in shared CSS styles. In-fact, if you use npx makes aurelia to create a new Aurelia 2 application and choose Shadow DOM, it automatically adds some code into main.ts which allows you to add shared CSS styles.
In Aurelia 2, despite the framework itself being completely overhauled and rewritten, many aspects of the framework remain the same familiar Javascript framework many of us know and love. What is new is the router in v2, it works differently to v1 in many aspects.
The router can work a few different ways. The first being the new direct-routing functionality which allows you to route to components without having to write any route configuration code. I love the direct router, which you can read more about here in the official Aurelia 2 docs.
At the time of writing this, Aurelia 2 is almost about to have its alpha release. Even so, if you’re reading this in the future and I have forgotten to update this post, everything here should still apply (some of the configuration options might change).
Fortunately, Aurelia 2 makes creating a new application from scratch easy. You can use Webpack, TypeScript, Babel and choose the way you write CSS and testing strategies as well (Jest, Cypress, etc).
I kind of suspected that the current mess that is Cyberpunk 2077 is a result of poor management, lack of focus and poor communication. Well, it appears the employee reviews are beginning to trickle in on Glassdoor.
So far, we only have one review from an employee, but expect that to change over the coming months as people leave CDPR and the focus on the mess this game is shifts away from the bugs to the missing content.
As flawed as Cyberpunk 2077 is, it still has glimpses of fun here and there. I am not quite ready to give up on the game just yet. In terms of aesthetic appeal, Cyberpunk 2077 is not pretty or pleasing on the eye, some of this is intentional and some of it is a result of the default early 00’s-esque stylstic settings they have turned on.
What I found surprising was I had my graphics set to ultra, with ray tracing enabled and DLSS set to balanced (I am using an Nvidia RTX 3070). I expected better graphics with these settings turned on than I got when I first opened up Cyberpunk 2077. Once again, maybe my monitor size, but the game looked anything but next-gen to me.
