  1. maybe leftovers of the Apollo missions?
  2. I just met my third grade elementary school teacher at the store in my home town. She recognized me even though I was wearing a mask and we didn't see each other for 28 years. I thought it was kind of impressive since I usually fail to recognize people wearing sunglasses. The most notable example of this is when I failed to recognize my friend at a food festival because she was wearing those large 60s-style sunglasses. She's still genuinely angry about that and still thinks I didn't want to recognize her. Last time I met her she was like "do you even know me anymore?" in a very disdainful way and we haven't spoken since. It was one of those instances when I remembered why I don't particularly appreciate people wearing sunglasses which might be kind of weird i guess, but I still think eye contact is very important. Not just when talking face-to-face, but I guess for telling people apart at all, lol. Well, for me at least.
  3. Fired up Civ after a long time and it planted me on an area that goes from tundra to desert in three tiles, and I'm on Huge size map. Do you guys play any civ?
  4. "If you were a bumblebee at the distance of the Moon away from the telescope, we would be able to pick up the heat that you send out." that's pretty fucking IDM I'm glad this thing is finally about to be launched. I remember reading about it being developed so many years ago. Can't wait to see some far out images.
  5. I used to own Kobo reader Aura H2O for some years. I haven't tried any other e-reader brand so I don't have a referential experience. It had the E-Ink display which has some good things about it, but the screen responsiveness is really slow (you need to get used to it). I didn't like it being so slow because sometimes I need to go back a few pages quickly to check something related, and it tends to break the flow. But that only applies for viewing standard PDF files, usually of scanned material (so it had bitmaps in it), or just any PDF book, because the page size is set inside PDF and then e-reader treats it like an image. As opposed to any e-book file format, which basically works in a similar way than html+css, using markup, you can typeset the text with the reader software, so you can have any font size, style, etc. you prefer. But the thing is, majority of stuff I read were not e-books, but mostly PDF files. You can imagine that my experience was not optimal. Reading e-book file format books is great, and it was actually what the device was made to do. Anyway, the screen eventually died in some unexplained circumstances and I haven't used it since, but I used it all the time. As for the good sides, the thing is light and small and very rucksack portable. It's also waterproof (that is rain, not scuba diving). It had a backlight so you can read in darkness and very long battery life, I had to refill it only every 3 months or so, but only if I wasn't playing the addictive puzzle games because that drains power quicker. It had a very rudimentary internet browser (no JS support, only basic CSS) and monochrome bitmap support. I specially appreciated the portability: you go somewhere backpacking and you have one magic book which has thousands of books in it. Overall, for portability and e-books (not PDFs) it's great for leisure.
  6. a good indicator for that is to look for patterns globally. In other nations "of the west", like how things happen in sweeping moves across the countries of eu: nationalism, patriotism, fascism, all kinds of disruptive "ideology" action groups are forming up involving weapons and/or just general aggression (mostly made up, synthetic, or based on particular country's history). Suddenly everyone shows muscle and some kind of organisation - it doesn't matter how elaborate - the nuclei is forming. Very local, seemingly sporadic, and far between. They are a subversion tool, and so is all that make-believe gender theory everyone is raving about, and most probably Greta too. The desired product of this subversion is inaction: paralysis of the masses and individuals, and in the case of usa and eu, paralysis of nations. Divide et impera case study. A global power shift is happening behind the scenes. edit: like a new cold war or something...
  7. let's just put LSD in first and see what we get from there

  10. I find myself listening to his soundcloud stuff way more than regularly released albums tbh Not trying to belittle his album releases, but this soundcloud stuff feels more personal or it's just my predisposition idk
  11. some years back I saw Giger's exhibition in Vienna (I think it was in the Hundertwasser building) I wanted to buy a poster so bad but they were all wack so I bought one anyway (I hated that poster) The work with Ridley on Alien was a perfect confluence of both worlds, one of the rare things. And I think there were some pieces on his Jodorowski collaboration if I remember right.
  12. everyone must listen to Makesnd Cassette at least once in their life so why not start here
  13. a horrific whale-cunt terrorizing the seas or the elusive holy grail of a pussy?
  14. this streaming or everything is a service business bullshit. you own less and less shit you put your money in nowadays. when you buy a cd or a vinyl, you have it in your home. you can play it whenever you feel like. now everything can be turned off remotely just because of some lawyer shit. not that I care particularly about FourTet, but that shit is the new hot and capital loves it.
  15. coogan doing james mason now i want the North by Northwest or The Desert Fox with coogan doing james mason
