  1. I’d say even today there’s very little like SAW 85-92 or the AB material. Think of the opening pads of Tha or Xtal, or the beautiful use of space in the chord progression of Sloth. Even the starkness of Polygon Window. That early Aphex material was and remains hauntingly beautiful and stands alone. The closest I think anyone got to it (and I don’t mean in a technical sense, rather the emotional overlay imbued in the music) is probably Mike Paradinas on some of his rephlex releases (Sick Porter 2 remains one of my favourite tracks in the multiverse). Anyhow, I can think of not much like those early Aphex/AFX releases. edit: @cwmbrancity I’m no disagreeing with you by the way that they mean something different in today’s context.
  2. I think the slicer is spelled only with the e.
  3. Professional chefs manage to slice both potatoes and fingers.
  4. noob would imply that this is my first time using a mandoline, I can state with certainty that i have used one many times before and only sliced open fingers approximately 25% of the time.
  5. I woulda eaten the blood tbh If it was just me yeah, but fam probably not down with it.
  6. Sliced the shit out of my thumb on my right hand using the mandoline to slice potatoes. Then started bleeding all over the potatoes so I had to throw them in the compost and start all over again. Bollocks.
  7. Harrison, still known as the most racist town in America, despite their “best efforts”. Celine’s not crazy just somewhat embarrassing.
  8. Hopefully she splits to somewhere like Florida or anywhere else that’s going to be underwater soon.
  9. She apparently lives full time in Las Vegas so you guys can have her. We get to keep Neil Young though
  10. A definite point in their favour. Although, they don't speak French in Quebec either.
  11. Do nation states in general have a sense of telos? I wouldn't have thought so... I don't think our cultural identity is particularly weak, for such a young country. People around the world recognize Canada for hockey, maple syrup, Trailer Park Boys, letterkenny, Kenny vs Spenny, being a welcoming nation to immigrants and refugees (which is kind of weird cause we don't take in that many refugees but I guess it's something), and lots of world renowned musicians and actors. Also, I wouldn't really want to be "the friendly version of the USA", and I don't know too many people up here who would like that designation either. Edit: don't get me wrong, Canada has its fair share of problems as well, but there's like less a sense of total fucking stress up here. I guess Americans just seem really stressed. Like really really stressed.
  12. One has universal health care (though we really need to include dental and optical and pharmaceuticals...which apparently are all being looked at).
  13. 70 million voted for trump. 70 fucking million, after his response to the deadliest pandemic the world has seen in a century left more than 300,000 Americans dead by election night. One of the elected representatives believes in the Qanon bullshit, and thousands of them raided the capitol based on nothing but smoke and hot air being blown up their asses. Combined with the massive gun fetishism in the country....there are serious issues with idiocy. It doesn't help much that the Republican party has been defunding public education for decades.
  14. I think Salv was on it...that's what made me think of it.
  15. I do think that this community is pretty good for the most part, not too many edge lords, only a few over-the-hill curmudgeonly old farts (like me), and people are usually pretty cool to one another. We can all try and do that more....maybe it's time to resurrect the collage of members' photos (not those kinds of members). someone must have it.
  16. I’m sorry comrade, I must report you. You may choose, 10 years in the gulag, or 2 hours of listening to a Marxist fanatic who doesn’t really know what he’s talking about.
  17. Yep. An abomination. As bad as the Honda ridgeline
  18. Nice trailer but that truck needs to be put out of its misery.

    Trees

    Canada has some cool trees I guess? The Great Bear Rainforest is pretty exceptional: This image below is from right around the Ontario/Quebec border.
