finally

i see, it's the controversy dollar

basta los negocios, trega las chicas!

i'm thinking of diving into this breaking bad and better call saul craze, but on the other hand i'm kind of tired of watching psychopaths, i mean, just look at politics these days i watched some clips on yt, and that Lalo character is really something. or don "frunk" eladio, lol

aim for the moon, land between the stars, etc or when the tongue in cheek sometimes is the whole basis or motivation for creating stuff in the first place. this reminds me of when i was running the gamut of european avantgarde and eventually stumbled upon some weird flicks that i guess i could describe as soft porn disguised as avant garde or vice versa idk lol, not quite giallo, but trashy in its own way. Tinto Brass was one of those more prominent guys that were riding that edge, and it's when i realized i had reached and exceeded the boundaries of a genre. 60s and 70s was a wild time

don't they all do that? directors, i mean i remember seeing a gif of scarlet johanson on her knees with someone squeezing her cheeks and she opened her mouth and the director framed the shot showing the man standing over her like doing... you know what lol don't know what movie was that from though

I see you've found the Mosfilm channel. Many gems there. Also Zerkalo (The Mirror), my favorite Tarkovski film

I knew this from the start, it's so obvious. AI research getting the most financing and being the hottest new thing rushing R&D with intense focus, despite numerous other fields that would do well with the attention and financing the AI field is receiving. The disinformation can also be highly personalized, catering to the personalized interests, ideologies, fears, filtering out content that would let you see outside your bubble -- forever walled in. AI bots creating traffic and relevancy in threads, discussions, articles -- creating hype for advertising and political campaigns. Disrupting ideology so that sane people will become isolated in a sea of idiocracy and manufactured reality. The western civilization is already living in this volatile ideology bubble based on fabricated history and present. Now this ideology can be enforced with autonomous armed robots, guided weapons, drones, satellites, web crawlers, spyware... yes, world ruled by psychopats whose greed will enslave the entire human race. And we will embrace everything gradually, because technology and innovation is so cool and shiny new, and convenient, and yadayada

I love Dopplereffekt so much

Good opportunities for China as well, I gather. And btw, Adobe subscription model is only good for milking money out of their monopolistic position. I'm still hoping for the day that some similar industry-standard type of software comes on Linux. Then I say a sweet goodbye to Adobe and Windows for ever. I strongly suspect there is some kind of cartel agreement between nVidia, Adobe and Microsoft.

When typesetting a book, and the chapter ends with just 4 to 5 lines of text on a blank page, not enough to break a line somewhere and push the text down by a line or two, but too much to squeeze it somewhere in by tricks on a previous page it just makes me miserable and want to curl up in a bush somewhere and sleep the rest of the day off, then change my career.

the black market for luxury items will be booming again soon in russia the history repeats the whole thing is so ridiculous i can't even

la vache

le empereur, non presidént, merde!

better than latrine le pen or that gargamel giftzwerg i mean nazi rats are coming out from the below decks everywhere in the world... i guess the ship is sinking?

perfect

but april 1st was 2 days ago....

Is it possible to donate karma? If it is, I will gladly do so. I liked reddit at first, but it's just the same old circlejerk. The whole format is designed for threads to bury quickly so no discussions can develop over time, except for the first 12 hours. There's a lot of repeating. Just to show how unimaginative reddit is, all subreddits that aggregate interesting content are called porn something, so I have ArtPorn, ArchitecturePorn, DesignPorn, AbandonedPorn, BookPorn, etc porn is not intellectually stimulating or innovative, it's not pretty, or gorgeous, or sophisticated, it's not something you want to devote your life to and surround/immerse yourself with lol

hawtin also had some solid dj projects back in the day with John Aquaviva, Decks EFX & 909 and DE9, that stuff was inspiring, then he collaborated on Final Scratch (which offered some interesting mash-up possibilities), but then he moved to Berlin and became too übercoolische, that m_nus label was shit, shared a flat with a bunch of hipsters while Magda made the tea, and good drugs fried his brain and creativity, which led to this piano over Consumed

that piano is just out of nowhere and really spoils the minimalistic angsty mood of Consumed sound as pretentious as anything that came from hawtin after that release

A couple of years ago I entertained the idea of going to Chernobyl exclusion zone as a tourist so I did some research on that as a preparation. Eventually, covid struck, and I also more or less came to my senses about the whole thing. A few people still live inside the zone, not many, but some still do, and they are ok because they do not receive dangerous doses (the more dangerous doses they receive are in forms of vodka, though). The radioactive dust is constantly swept across the landscape, but is kept checked by weather, and gets concentrated in more dense parts, particularly the urbanized and densely forested parts. Iron and concrete (derelict buildings) contain pockets of higher dosages, but apart from a few very dangerous parts, only prolonged exposure can bring dangerous effects. The most dangerous parts are where metal structures are concentrated, abandoned vehicle parks and manufacture or high-rise buildings. Those are all prohibited from visiting, and are mostly cordoned off. You need to get permissions from authorities to visit the exclusion zone and you cannot go without a guide and a geiger counter, which should be monitored constantly. So the the whole zone is still dangerous, and, as you said, the most dangerous is the radioactive dust that rises from dry ground (dry summers) or debris. Also, touching stuff and equipment left there disturb the finely settled dust on it and inhaling that is easy and very dangerous, as the radioactive dust settles deep in your lungs and stays there. I imagine that military vehicles (heavy trucks, APCs, tanks) moving through those parts raise a lot of dust. Also, the military usually uses the surrounding material to construct defenses and positions. Using timber for camouflage, and even minor earth works can therefore disturb the settled radioactive material. Using high-rise buildings for military observation and shelter could also lead to high exposure. Military also tries to live off the land as much as possible to offset the logistical issues. So if the soldiers used local wells for water supply, wildlife and especially mushrooms, no doubt some could have received dangerous doses.

digging trenches and positions in contaminated soil maybe even taking water supply from underground water

a couple of insecure guys as well, obviously. you so badass, kakapo, i feel safe already

hey guys, will smith slapped the rock did you know that
