06.01.24 | wouldnt it b cool if we took like 10k guys and put them in a huge valley somewhere fenced with barbed wire and they were split into two groups over a couple of months and had to kill eachother with spears, and the surviving group got to leave
and we repeated it bunch of times to see how tactics evolved
would easily replace the nfl and fifa omg
id watch that |

Trundle
06.01.24 | I have a hard time calling NFL an actual sport, as they're given minutes worth of rest following 20-30 seconds of effort. Only about 13 minutes In a football game is actual game time, the rest is ads, replays, celebration dances....I think of it as more of a human chess match between coaches, but obviously in the very brief moments that players are playing, a lot of injuries happen.
Also, a lot NFL players don't seem to have a clue how to make a tackle , they launch themselves head first into an opponent, if you do that in rugby there's a high chance that if you did that you'd end up dead or paralyzed |
robertsona
06.01.24 | NFL is most fundamentally like chess with humans played by the coach, to me. itβs a dumb analogy that never rings false in terms of how I perceive it |
robertsona
06.01.24 | Wait lmao how did I not
Read that part of your post
What a fool I am |
Trundle
06.01.24 | Lol, like you said, it's June and you're a teacher, shits hectic, this was the first year my brother started teaching at the University he works at, and he doesn't get home till like 10pm, easy to forget something in a sput shit post |

fogza
06.02.24 | "Only about 13 minutes In a football game is actual game time"
I remember during the rugby world cup, everyone was losing their minds because actual play between resets was like 34 minutes or something. 13 mins of gametime is ridiculous |
Trifolium
06.02.24 | Yeah I have Vlac!! It was very lovely. Super good lineups usually, I've seen Ulver and Anneke van Giersbergen and Ihsahn there and so many others. 013 is a very nice venue as well.

Oh my, that sounds underwhelming indeed. We also had a few rains, but it was mostly sunny and very hot here.

And with a few capers(?) |
VlacDrac
06.03.24 | @Trifolium Nice to know. I'd love to go, however, I think the line ups of the last three edition have been kinda weak in my opinion. I really want to go, however, I wanna make sure the lineup is attractive enough for me to guarantee flight tickets, festival tickets and accommodation. |

06.03.24 | @Trifolium A few days ago, the Roadburn IG page dropped a SUMAC mini documentary. If anything, I hope they are teasing them playing in Roadburn 2025 given they will be releasing an album this year. I'd go there just to see them. |

Oh nice Vlac! Don't know them although the name is really cool because sumac is tasty. Ate it yesterday, in a yoghurt dip hmmmm!!!
Also I wonder in which universe Eggy is currently. I miss him! |
VlacDrac
06.04.24 | Never had sumac as a food, however, if you enjoy Aaron Turner's music and Sludge Metal mixed up with Free Improvisation, you will definitely enjoy their music. |

1. Those 20 seconds are full effort. For linemen its like 50 wrestling matches. For recievers and DBs its 30 sprints. All the while everyone is colliding into each other at the force of a car crash.

Demon of the Fall
06.09.24 | if you plugged headphones directly into a mixer and then the mixer into a turntable, would you expect it to sound bad? The amp I was going to use needs repairing.
I think thereβs loads of other things I could do to improve this situation, but itβll cost £££s and just ascertaining what my expectations should be. |
budgie
06.09.24 | does the turntable have a phono level out or line level out? |
Demon of the Fall
06.09.24 | Red and white cable, so 2 connectors. No idea which is which but I THINK itβs an (RCA) phono output, if that makes sense. Stereo turntable.
I wonβt be using this mixer when I can get a proper amp / the broken one repaired. I was just wondering if thereβs a reason this may not sound all that great. Seems suboptimal for sure
Iβm also using headphones and I understand dedicated headphone amps may be better, so thatβs something to consider later on |

budgie
06.09.24 | have a nice jambon beurre for me
demon -- phono level out means it needs a dedicated amplification stage to bring it to line level, so whatever you plug it into needs to have a phono amplification module, see if your mixer does! also you need to see if your mixer has a power amplification module as well, i don't think all do, some are just really fancy preamps |
budgie
06.09.24 | or just tell me exactly what you have ill look it up |
Demon of the Fall
06.09.24 | cheers Budgie. Iβll have a look!
I donβt really need the mixer long-term, probably easier just to use a dedicated amp.

budgie
06.09.24 | when youre shopping for a new stereo just ensure theres a phono amp inside it which would be indicated by something like "phono-level ins" on the back. alternative is to buy a separate dedicated module but thats more money and more cables to deal with |
gabba

I believe this is probably what I did then. Weirdly, I am relieved as yes it did not sound good AT ALL and thought proper solutions may be expensive or I was just struggling to adjust expectations or something
as I previously stated the mixer solution is temporary and there is an amp (designed to go with the turntable), it just needs repairing / replacing
Thanks for the info |

ArsMoriendi
06.13.24 | Hi budgie
Do you agree with the notion that aliens could theoretically exist but have never visited earth |
budgie
06.13.24 | the idea is the temporal and spatial dimensions of the universe are very large and if aliens existed we'd need their temporal and spatial relations to us to be absurdly minute to have any chance at interaction and that is what is unlikely enough to be essentially impossible |
budgie
06.13.24 | take a huge area like the entire state of new york and take a huge duration like 1000 years, imagine two gumballs which can only exist for 5 minutes are generated randomly at any point in time within those 1000 years and at any point spatially within the state, the chances they show up within a couple inches of eachother within 5 minutes of eachother is bum |
Trifolium
06.13.24 | Good analogy! |
gabba
06.13.24 | ^^ the same applies to true, everlasting love, without compromises |
Egarran
06.13.24 | Maybe not aliens themselves but we should see signs of their self-replicating space robots.
Consider a gumball that could make copies of itself, the state would soon be swarmed by those things. |
budgie
06.14.24 | ya but theyd have to get the material to replicate them from somewhere? if all the iron on earth was used by replication robots they would have an aggregate volume of 2.58E20 cubic meters, on a galactic scale that is less than dust |
bighubbabuddha
06.14.24 | I think sentient life and artificial superintelligence is definitely out there, there are just under 200 billion galaxies in the universe (200,000,000,000) and in each galaxy there are approximately 100-400 billion solar systems. If we average solar systems to 200 billion then there are approximately 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 solar systems in the universe. The reason alien or ASI hasn't visited is that the distances between galaxies are simply too large and we are also at the edge of the universe.

budgie
06.14.24 | you know what else is large? smoks penis |
budgie
06.14.24 | ublock is broken so i just tried to watch something on youtube and saw my first drug commercial in like 15 years. fuck the usa |
bighubbabuddha
06.14.24 | Also, let's hypothesis that alien or artificial superintelligence exists in our galaxy the Milky Way and has visited Earth with Life on it. Complex Life began 600-700 million years ago. (600,000,000-700,000,000 years) They could have visited in any year from there and we wouldn't have known. Modern Civilisation began 10,000 years ago, industrial revolution began 200-250 years ago. Alien life or ASI could have visited Earth and monitored activity in this time period without entering the atmosphere and we wouldn't have known. Also, the technology of the alien life or ASI could be so advanced they could have easily escaped detection if they did enter and even if people did see them the world was so disconnected it wouldn't have spread outside a village or town or been believed. So in the last 100 years when technology has advanced significantly such as satellites, transport, internet there has been no contact with alien life or ASI but 100 hundred years is a blink of an eye. |

Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | I agree with your general point buddha. I am intrigued how 'we' have arrived at those numbers though. I'm not expecting a rundown of the research whereby we've estimated how large the universe actually is, but I do wonder how humans arrived at such a conclusion. It's surely so unfathomably vast that we cannot put a proper limit on it
Also excuse my ignorance but I was unaware of this 'edge' phenomenon... "The reason alien or ASI hasn't visited is that the distances between galaxies are simply too large and we are also at the edge of the universe."
and what if we fall off? (lol) |
budgie
06.14.24 | it's just age of universe x lightspeed :D |
bighubbabuddha
06.14.24 | I mean the number of galaxies in the universe is a widely debated in the scientific community and we can ever only estimate an approximate amount. The article discusses how scientist make their estimates. The upper end of predictions is about 2 trillion (2,000,000,000,000) galaxies. https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/how-many-galaxies-are-in-the-universe The lower limit is 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies. (100,000,000,000-200,000,000,000) The universe isn't infinite and there is only a fixed amount of energy in the universe. |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | hmm, so there are significantly more galaxies in the universe than humans on the planet either way, I'm gonna try and let that sink in for a minute...
yeah, this may take a while!
It's not exactly surprising we have yet to knowingly encounter alien life forms |

06.14.24 | π½ Hi! |
bighubbabuddha
06.14.24 | So yeah, scientists don't currently know if the universe is infinite or not. A flat universe could be infinite but a curved universe like a donut would be finite. My personal view is that the universe is finite. |
gabba
06.14.24 | My personal opinion is that weβll never find it out. While it certainly is an exciting intellectual endeavor for many to engage in such matters, to me it is just the source of frustration, since we donβt have the means nor the perspective to understand what weβre really dealing with. |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | I feel like that when I listen to jazz, yet despite this I end up (usually) enjoying myself regardless |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | but yeah, I guess if you're going into that endeavouring to find out the ultimate TRUTH then you're gonna be disappointed. A life of complete frustration
depends on your perspective, obviously |
gabba
06.14.24 | Agreed. Weβre still at sci-fi level, which is entertaining if weβre not taking it seriously. |
gabba
06.14.24 | Otherwise it triggers existential dread. |
gabba
06.14.24 | Iβm much more interested in the structure/limits/dimensions of the universe, than to find out if there are similar assholes out there to what we are. |

06.14.24 | >ya but theyd have to get the material to replicate them from somewhere? if all the iron on earth was used by replication robots they would have an aggregate volume of 2.58E20 cubic meters, on a galactic scale that is less than dust
This was a weird argument. Obv they would replicate themselves using any rocky object in space. Even now we have the technology to make such a machine aka a Von Neumann probe.
"a self-replicating starship utilizing relatively conventional theoretical methods of interstellar travel (i.e., no exotic faster-than-light propulsion, and speeds limited to an "average cruising speed" of 0.1c.) could spread throughout a galaxy the size of the Milky Way in as little as half a million years."
This is important: Speed and distance is not a problem here.
It is more likely that such a technology would have made all matter into machines by now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_spacecraft |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | what about teleportation via wormholes / rifts / or dare I say it, technological advances beyond our understanding?
some being(s) somewhere could likely reach us if they so desired, maybe we're just not that interesting?
I mean the universe is so vast, there has to be numerous collectives of life all across the universe, it would be rather presumptuous to think 'we' were in any way important enough to be 'sought out' (not heard this before, gonna use it as my own working thesis - the world may 'revolve around humans' to an extent, the universe does not, lol). |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | advanced lifeforms exist, they already know about us, they observe etc. Some will have existed for thousands of times more than humans, possibly more. Imagine what could be achieved in all that time of development?
we haven't seen them because either their technology is so superior to ours that they can remain completely undetectable OR they simply don't care about our primitive ways / tech etc. Alternatively they just research from a distance, never needing to get close
They're probably off visiting some other more enticing planets in other far reaches of the universe where the resources are valuable to them |
gabba
06.14.24 | the universe needs us, otherwise it wouldn't exist in its currently perceived form |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | our perception of the (so called) universe itself is likely outdated by about a billion years too |
denboy
06.14.24 | eg: that just indicates we might be alone in our own galaxy. The distances between galaxies are prohibitive
"So yeah, scientists don't currently know if the universe is infinite or not."
To the best of our knowledge, we live in an universe that is indistinguishable from an infinite universe
Even if, there is exotic topology that means the universe is finite, it would be on such a scale that it is meaningless from the POV of our observable universe |
denboy
06.14.24 | my favorite space related thought
there exists stars that do not belong to galaxies
imagine if we had evolved there instead of on a planet connected to a galaxy

Trifolium
06.14.24 | βLook again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.β

06.14.24 | "To the best of our knowledge, we live in an universe that is indistinguishable from an infinite universe"
That's your personal opinion. Whether the universe is infinite or finite is very much an open question and there is no scientific consensus either way |
DadKungFu
06.14.24 | I can distinguish it from an infinite universe because the earth has a layer of water surrounding it and the sun is floating inside that layer, hence the blue sky and why the sun is obviously within that watery layer. Stars are little holes poked in the water so the earth can breathe and we can only see them at night because the light from outside is shining in ^_^ |

Egarran
06.14.24 | >eg: that just indicates we might be alone in our own galaxy. The distances between galaxies are prohibitive
Earth or our sun is not special in any way. Allegedly there are about 300 million potentially habitable planets in the Milky Way. This and the speed of evolution indicates that we should not be alone in the galaxy.
But I agree with Demon's agnostic angle: Humans don't have the brain to comprehend what's going on.
I love this subject, but certainty about about it annoys me. Most of all it limits fruitful speculation. |
denboy
06.14.24 | it might also just mean that advanced intelligence realises the futility of infinite expansion |
Egarran
06.14.24 | It might mean many many things. Also that predator aliens eradicate any species that start to make noise. |
denboy
06.14.24 | it might also just be further proof that we are all farts floating about in the ether |
denboy
06.14.24 | buddha you're right and i am wrong |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | does anyone agree with my theory that aliens simply don't care enough about us to reveal themselves?
it seems absurdly self-important of us humans to put ourselves at the centre of everything like that. I'm starting to think it might be a more realistic truth, than the fact they cannot reach us / are unaware of our existence. I'm talking of alien life forms as a whole here, there will be the entire spectrum from the very primitive, to ourselves, to those who have such technological or societal advancements that it's completely beyond our comprehension. Many civilisations will be just as oblivious as we are, I imagine. From now on I'm going to refer to the elite all-knowing ones as 'observers' |
bighubbabuddha
06.14.24 | Cool thought Demon.
It maybe that our society is so primitive there is little interest in our species. There could be alien/artificial superintelligence that might be interested in all the species on our planet equally and not prioritise one species. Also aliens/ASI may have ethical codes that are non-interventionist with other planets. They might not want to spread diseases or introduce new technologies that disrupt life on our planet. |
Trifolium
06.14.24 | "it seems absurdly self-important of us humans to put ourselves at the centre of everything like that."
YES.
Hence the sheer power of that beautiful Carl Sagan quote I posted. 'Bescheidenheid siert de mens' as we would say in the mudflats. |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.24 | I enjoyed the quote
and yes buddha, that seems plausible. If humans had the means I imagine our selfish need for triumph through discovery / yearning for whatever tech / resources was out there, would have us catapult forward without taking preservation into consideration
it is very possible ascended superintelligent life could be a lot more cautious about disrupting other worlds for their own selfish gains |

Good article. I see they use current or near-term technology for the proposal, so definitely not a fantasy. My point was that a civilization by design or by accident would eventually be able to make such a machine (the universe has had billions of years to do this) and they could be everywhere by now. So why aren't they? |
budgie
06.15.24 | near-term technology is what reads as fantasy to me but i guess feasibility to you. if some fantastical engineering feat is to be considered possible i want to see a PDR, not a publication that says "completely self-replicating probes are not feasible with current AI and additive manufacturing technologies"
"My point was that a civilization by design or by accident would eventually be able to make such a machine"
this is fantasy to me too. "if tech were to get to a certain point, then civ would produce these things" is just a big discouraging subjunctive |
Egarran
06.15.24 | Your subjunction is my logical progress but also just necessary speculation. We should be able to talk about possible futures without being labelled fantasists.
Perhaps one of the great filters is individuals being able to create weapons of mass destruction. |
budgie
06.15.24 | maybe weird algae aliens that don't need to be violent or competitive because they are just fine eating solar radiation! like trifolium. wouldn't have any impetus to develop great weapons |
bighubbabuddha
06.15.24 | 1. Unaligned ASI
2. Pandemics
3. Mutually Assured Destruction through Nuclear Weapons
4. Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss
5. Nanotechnology leading to a grey goo scenario where nanobots eat all biological matter on Earth
I think these are the 5 biggest Great Filters for our civilisation, in order of threat |
budgie
06.15.24 | minor nitpick here but mutually assured destruction isn't what causes nuclear war, it's what prevents both nuclear war and conventional war, it's a safeguard quite literally argued by political scientists to be good thing |
budgie
06.15.24 | what is unaligned asi? rogue robots? my biggest fear |
bighubbabuddha
06.15.24 | Artificial Superintelligence (AI that is thousands of times smarter than humans) that has goals unaligned with humanity. They could destroy us in a number of ways with ease if we got in the way of their goals.

06.15.24 | AI drone army would be absolutely unstoppable and that's like a year away, am I right Budgie. |
bighubbabuddha
06.15.24 | And yeah Nuclear War is a more appropriate term. if Russia fires nukes NATO would definitely respond, and if India fired nukes Pakistan would definitely respond. India and Pakistan would be isolated to their region. All the other scenarios involve like 2/3 continents being destroyed |

Thanks. It's entertaining but also sad and infuriating. All that time and energy wasted on trying squeeze more money from a book. If it was an original story you could respect it, but it's just... ew.
Everybody in it is so desperate and self-absorbed (well maybe except Tom Hanks who is just oblivious). And it's tragic knowing what happened to Bruce Willis. He was overworked even back then and it's pretty clear he was running from something. Maybe just poverty. Or his own stupidity
And the objectification of women is nauseating. Which everybody kind of acknowledges but hey, it sells tickets. Gotta respect the capitalist meat grinder.

06.19.24 | How many ratings do I need before I count as someone who rates music |
denboy
06.19.24 | been going through the top lists by year and rating albums I remember having an opinion on, but man it took a long time just to get to 50 ratings |
denboy
06.19.24 | also i still have to get over how weird it feels to rate something that i enjoyed a lot "3.5" |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | 3,254 |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | "also i still have to get over how weird it feels to rate something that i enjoyed a lot "3.5""
my personal preference is to err on the side of caution, as when you have 3,254 ratings (or more) I don't want to scroll through a bazillion 4+ ratings when I'm taking a retrospective peek / revisiting
It took me a while to get here tho and I still have rogue 4s clogging up the joint |
fogza
06.19.24 | 3.5 is a good rating (the wording is great!). For me it means it's something I'd possibly listen to again depending on the mood and genre. Tbh there's lots of 3.5's that I listen to more than my higher rated albums. Probably just skip a few tracks |
Trifolium
06.19.24 | "something I'd possibly listen to again (...) just skip a few tracks"
Very relatable. |
gabba
06.19.24 | Iβm never skipping tracks unless they are super-awful. I have < 5 albums I can think of where I removed a song from the tracklist. Not sure why I feel the need to treat albums with this kind of respect. |
gabba
06.19.24 | And 3.5 corresponds to a 7/10, obviously, but it feels more natural to me to use a 10-point scale, easier to relate to. |
denboy
06.19.24 | yeah, 7/10 feels way more correct somehow than 3.5/5 |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | 7/10 feels greater than 3.5/5, weirdly
and agreed with gabba again re basically never skip / remove. Maybe I'm just a sucker too. I feel as though unless it's a compilation, expanded edition etc. removing part of the runtime is like cutting scenes from a film whereby if you were to do so, it may no longer make complete sense. I understand this isn't always the case, but even weaker tracks can aid flow. Plus, they may grow on me so it's hard to know when to initiate the culling |
Ryus
06.19.24 | skip ruthlessly
life is short |
Trifolium
06.19.24 | Truth.
And you can ocassionally not-skip the often skipped tracks, to check if they still don't work.
A good example: I would never ever listen to Mezzanine if I obeyed the no-skip-rule. Man Next Door is just not for me. And I've been trying occasionally over the course of 20+ years by now. Its 6 minutes feel like 60 years to me. |
denboy
06.19.24 | Also on team don't-skip
unless i'm specifically listening to songs instead of albums and then anything goes
I'll even queue up the same song three times, queue up another song, then queue that same song up again if i'm in that kinda mood |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | I think there comes a point where it's a viable strategy, sure
I just barely ever reach it myself. Most albums with skippable tracks just aren't part of my rotation, I guess |
Ryus
06.19.24 | there are a ton of albums where i love half the tracks and dont care about the other half
i cant imagine not skipping in those scenarios |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | yeah, that's fair
I don't seem to know such albums, or maybe the stronger cuts aren't compelling enough by themselves to persuade me to return. Something like that anyway. I know a ton of albums with mostly great material + the odd "relative dud", but either it still provides a baseline level of enjoyment and / or the flow suffers without it. |
denboy
06.19.24 | My one exception is Regatta De Blanc by the Police where i literally think every other track is unlistenable while the rest are 5/5 |
Demon of the Fall
06.19.24 | the real test of my commitment to this cause is the fact I listen to "Old Dreams" (19+ mins of ambient in a 'otherwise not ambient' double-album). It's part of The Knife's Shaking The Habitual. Every. Damn. Time. |
fogza
06.19.24 | "there are a ton of albums where i love half the tracks and dont care about the other half
i cant imagine not skipping in those scenarios"
Yep, agreed |
gabba
06.19.24 | Demon, Shaking The Habitual is actually one of those few albums where I skip tracks, so I'm ashamed to admit I'm less committed. |

06.19.24 | gabba, I feel that proves it was a good example! π
but yeah, even people who love it are sometimes tempted to skip Old Dreams, or so Iβve heard
Itβs one of my favourite ever albums but I canβt claim skipping a couple of tracks isnβt a sensible thing to do depending on your tolerance levels / inclinations |

06.20.24 | yes indeed! Netherlands - France will be such a hype game
or were you talking about something else.............? |
Trifolium
06.20.24 | I was.
It was budgie's mysterious hype countdown clock!!! But luckily we (gabba) guessed what he was counting down to in time, avoiding a very big catastrophe. |
fogza
06.20.24 | I have a friend who had a pig as a pet, very high maintenance and you gotta train them properly or they're a nightmare |
Pangea
06.20.24 | i am going to listen to the new alcest while watching our football team destroy france |
Trifolium
06.20.24 | Also they grow huuuuuuge eventually, right? Isn't that why many people return their pet pig after some time?
Hehe, good luck Pan! I will stick to the Alcest, not into football at all. But I will cheer you on for sure! |
fogza
06.20.24 | At least one of those statements is going to be true lol |
Pangea
06.20.24 | well, i could refuse to put on alcest if france is in a winning position, which would make both statements false
(i will listen to new alcest regardless though)
(also netherlands will only realistically win if the whole france team gets food poisoning simultaneously, but one can hope) |
gabba
06.20.24 | I just saw the "What's in my Bag?" video by the Alecest guy, picks great records, including Mezzanine.
https://youtu.be/24XrLErXB34 |
fogza
06.20.24 | "Also they grow huuuuuuge eventually, right? Isn't that why many people return their pet pig after some time?"
Exactly, if you haven't got that pig to listen to you by the time it's grown, you're in for a rough time. I read a pig owner's guide and it said an untrained pig can be vindictive and manipulative, which I thought was a quite an amusing turn of phrase |
Egarran
06.20.24 | >very high maintenance and you gotta train them properly or they're a nightmare
If only people thought this way about dogs (or kids (or sputnik users)).
Pigs don't bark all day which is a huge plus for them. |

06.20.24 | And what about the americano? Budgie, are you not a stanley mug person? That could protect your coffee and make your car happy. Win-win. |
budgie
06.20.24 | its not even one lost americano gabba its two lost americano. cause i order americano pickup only then drive to the place and they say no there is no americano order for budgie. so i pay for another one. drive back home find out the first order was at a different location far away. luckily alcest album came out or i would probably have killed myself by noon |
gabba
06.20.24 | Good that you survived the day with alcest. Americanos suck anyways, lots of liquid, little aroma. I will check the album, even though it doesnβt seem to be my thing. I peaked a gig on youtube yesterday, it was a mixed bag. But I loved this Snow guy talking about records he likes. |
budgie
06.20.24 | check the music video for the track flamme jumelle, at least some of it if not all of it was filmed in l'ariège!!! which you have to spend time in once you are situated in lyon. probably my favorite place on earth! |
Egarran
06.20.24 | Yeah budgie look on the bright side, it was good you spilled those lousy Americanos. |

Indeed Denboy I only have a landline on me.
I also saw Crypta which were really fun, Hulder which was unlistenable because the bass drum was 10x louder than the rest of the band, Fu Manchu, sweet stoner vibes; Body Count motherfucker, they were actually pretty good; Hatebreed, fun hardcore but not at all my thing; Asinhell, terrible, and finally Tool, the band I came for, always good, but they were pretty much just going through the motions so not as good as the other two times I saw them. |

06.26.24 | Hi beautiful flower Trif!
yes, coffee soon. I find warm drinks unappealing in such weather but needs must. I know 'they' say it actually cools you down but I smell nonsense via the evidence of experience |

06.26.24 | >just googled cherry whiskey, it seems to be pretty popular
Damn. The age of discovery is truly over.
It's actually crazy how much cherry whiskey is out there. |
Demon of the Fall
06.26.24 | did anyone hear something just now?
I had no idea either Ega, but it (instinctively) sounds delicious! |
Egarran
06.26.24 | Probably just your imagination.
Whiskey and cherry don't intuitively make sense to me, but it was all I had to mix with so it was a pleasant surprise. Homegrown too (the cherries). |

Hi budgie π»π |
Demon of the Fall
06.26.24 | oh hi budgie, lots of attention for ghost budgie now!
I wasn't actually ignoring you the first time I am truly sorry. Your comment appeared after I hit submit on a reply to Trif, so didn't even know it was there at the time, then I maybe did play with your feelings as a joke. Heartless behaviour. I am ashamed. Hope you can forgive me. x |
denboy
06.26.24 | how would warm drinks cool you down |
Trifolium
06.26.24 | Because of their sweat-inducing nature?
π₯βπ₯΅π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
Feels like this strategy does not work, but so many people say so. |
denboy
06.26.24 | is it something that might have come from people eating hot (as in spicy) food, which actually cools you down, and just extrapolating it to hot drinks for no good reason |
budgie
06.26.24 | your stomach is churning at 38C so drinking something at 37C technically cools you down for split second while some of your body heat energy is convected muh huh huh

06.27.24 | "Sleep > drugs"
Totally agree with that, especially since I haven't been able to get a normal amount of sleep since I was 19, sometimes I don't sleep at all, once went 5 full days without sleep, it was awful.
I don't want to do shrooms / acid and be high for over 12 hrs anymore, I'm too old now haha. |

But I guess I appreciate this chance to be macho. |

Trundle
06.28.24 | I've had two nasty reactions to what I can only assume we're mosquito bites, cause I haven't seen a single spider. Got quite swollen around the bite and it was leaking nasty stuff both times.
Luckliy they healed fairly quick, I feel for ya storm, |

06.28.24 | i was readin some stuff on pubmd once upon a time that suggested usually mysterious oozy bumps aren't insect/arachnid bites but just bacterial infections |

bighubbabuddha
06.28.24 | english cheezes aren't criticised by the international community but are overlooked
We obviously made great hard cheese like cheddar, red leicester and medium cheese like Wensleydale
but we also make killer blue cheese from blue stilton, Cornish blue and Brighton Blue
where we fall short is soft cheeses, the frenchies and italians rule that market |

"Also dark beer in the middle of the hottest day of the year is not the best idea. But mother insisted."
yeah, unfortunately my local pubs have decided that NOW is the time to stock delicious dark beers, so I have been experiencing similar issues, lol
fortunately today is cooler so time for another one later. The tipple I had yesterday reckons it was 6.66% - but pretty sure they rounded up(?) for the gimmick given the imagery on the pump! (my assumption is that rounding down would be illegal, but idk maybe it only needs to be within 0.1% accurate) |

06.28.24 | presumably "pump" is the word you are querying? Yeah, it's a term for what they use to pour a 'pulled' cask beer, which I believe isn't particularly common outside of the U.K. It usually has what's known as a 'pump clip' to advertise said beer on the front |
Egarran
06.28.24 | Thank you. Revelations is probably the most important book in the bible.

Speaking of sad: last day of June! What the hell this month came and went.
Who's hosting July? |
Egarran
06.30.24 | One of the Syrian kids next door graduated high school so early morning his class showed up in a truck (as is tradition) with blaring middle eastern party music. We were invited in too and his mother had made extreme amounts of food and made a stylish buffet.
The kids ate like 10% of it before moving on to the next class member's house. Danes are not comfortable with this much effort - she should have just bought two packs of snacks and some sodas.
Anyway I am very full now. |
