    Maybe we'll get some more Stardust? Bit sad, I've been listening to them quite a bit in recent times for some reason. Homework was fire, Discovery was disco-y, and RAM was such an emotional album. Fell off a bit after the first two, but those plus Alive 2007 are quality.

    she is an absolute genius of sound design Also, have to appreciate both the cuff links and the french cuff.

    The problem is the black keys lack depth in the animation, and the resulting actions correspond to that lack of depth. still, relatively impressive when you read that the one for “Soul” took less than 3 seconds to create.

    I like the bandcamp model. Mostly cause I can still pay artists and download lossless versions, while still having the convenience of streaming through the bandcamp app. Plus I dislike physical goods.

    Indeed, I had forgotten about the association with Karate Kid 2. Man i just went and watched the official video for it, and dude looks like a serial rapist. Maybe Tepid Etcetera? On the other hand, it did lead me to this absolutely brilliant interview with Marlon Brando on the Dick Cavett show: My respect for the man keeps growing.

    Was it Glory of Love? also I feel like Peter Etcetera would be a good vapourwave name, like those other clever ones (com truise etc)

    Not helpful sir. Not at all.

    “Don’t worry weed, he won’t visit you.” Still fucking gets me.

    Quick WATMM, which one should I watch next: most recent season of The Expanse or most recent season of American Gods.

    Fuck dude I’m glad you’re safe. Hope @Joyrexis doing ok as well. Looks like temperatures are going back up. Hopefully you guys get drinking water back soon.

    I thought someone had made a documentary about the Cecil Hotel in Vancouver, which was a total dive bar/strip club/weird music venue/hotel/brothel that got torn down in the early 2000s and was all excited. Then I saw it’s about that idiocy in LA. The first review I read might as well have been written by @perunamuusi lol, totally trashed it.

    Born in Edmonton, that first paragraph was me. Learned all the French I’d ever need by grade 6 cause my parents sent me to a private school where the French teachers were Parisienne, which ruined me when I switched to public school cause I never had to study it to get good grades. But never spoke it again. It’s very useful nowadays in the federal government. Most jobs after the entry level are bilingual, and if you want to work in the foreign service it is a must at all levels.

    Isn’t @joshuatxuk living there? And @Atop? Who else...I feel like C Brown (I do miss his mixes) is there too. Whatevs. Hope all Texans are making it through despite the republicans’ best efforts to fuck things up.

    It’s from the outtakes. You got it as a bonus track (Japan only) but only if you paid in doge.

    This is up there in your list of quotes.

    Lol simmer down. You realize that btc relies on all those things too. Because you need to keep the computer network safe and secure.
  18. chenGOD
    Lightning network is DOA, because the average person is not going to (and likely is not capable of doing so) create a multisig wallet for each vendor they wish to transact with. Also: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.01418.pdf

    A computer network refers to the physical computers. BTC is a P2P application layer that runs on the TCP/IP protocols. Lol you ignoring the actual cost per Tx doesn't magically make them disappear. If you think that article is just standard Tether FUD, fine. When the price drops to 3K, and the underlying fundamental issues of network congestion and lengthy Tx times remain, more people will understand there is no value in BTC as anything beyond an investment vehicle, and recognize that it is one that is inherently susceptible to market manipulation.
  20. chenGOD
    The point is comparing the energy cost per transaction, so it is an entirely valid comparison. And BTC is not a computing network, it is an application layer. Regardless, the article that dcom posted should be very worrying to anybody holding significant amounts of crypto.

    Can't remember if I posted this in here already or not, but it's good enough to warrant posting again.

    This hits home cause my kid is learning quebecois, and trying to explain this to her is like banging my head against a wall. Whatever, she's 6, she'll memorize it within 2 days. So jealous of that ability to soak in information like a sponge. At least they don't have the specific counters like in Japanese and, to a lesser extent, Korean.

    Fucking international zoom meeting suck. This is a rather large group, so am required to sign in 30 minutes beforehand, which meant waking up at 5:25 this morning to log in at 5:30 for a 6:00 meeting. I only went to bed at 2:45ish. FML. Caffeine isn't working either. Someone materialize me some amphetamine.
  24. chenGOD
    I sure am

    I miss living in a big city.
