The most vivid example of it I experienced was in 2012 when I was visiting Prague. One evening I was out on the balcony where I was staying putting some laundry out to dry and all the sudden a calm, yet strong gust of wind came in. Within seconds autumn started. -

Very strange mix of black metal aesthetic and feel but soundwise it's something like noisy ambient with programmed drums.

Comment on Audio enthusiasts share your audio setups in ~hobbies
BuckWylde Link ParentI've had a pair of the R1280DB for about 6 years now and have loved them. I think I spent just over $100 IIRC, and they've been way better than I expected.I've had a pair of the R1280DB for about 6 years now and have loved them.

Comment on Anyone using Meshtastic/LoRA radio? in ~hobbies

It's a cool system and I like that it's been getting traction. The issue for me, though, is that kind of like getting into ham radio it seems like once you get everything set up and working, then what? In my experience it just turns into an echo chamber of talking about your gear setup, waiting for a SHTF moment to be able to use your gear, etc., and not really doing anything else with it. Any thoughts from you all on what else to do with it?

Comment on I'm a middle-aged man and I want my first tattoo in ~life.men

Do you know anyone with tattoos, and if so, did they get them done locally? Look up some shops near you and check out the artists' social media to see their work. Once you start talking to the artist they can design your idea and help brainstorm placement, etc. Every time I've gotten one it's always a conversation beforehand. From their perspective they're doing a piece of art and want to be proud of it. -

It's pure chaos and borderline non-music but I find it very soothing and easy to listen to. My brain is not normal.

I personally have trouble with "separating art from the artist" and I have to do a lot of online vetting with the music I like because it has become notorious with rampant racist bullshit. You have to make the choice for yourself of what feels right about consuming the art. On that note I listened to a pirated copy of a Burzum song this morning on the way to work. There's plenty of masterful art done by shitty assholes out there.

I was introduced to them when the Nihil album came out (I was in 10th grade). That was also the summer when my first gf and I started dating, so I have so many memories tied to that album specifically.
Nihil, Angst, XTORT, and Money are the main ones in my rotation this week. I was also dipping into the earlier ones a little bit. It's interesting seeing the origin of some of their lyrical memes in the first few albums. -

BuckWylde LinkI've been on a Klaus Schulze kick this week. Irrlicht, Cyborg, Timewind, and Moondawn are all bangers. They pair very well with playing Enshrouded when I'm not in voice chat with the boys.I've been on a Klaus Schulze kick this week. Irrlicht, Cyborg, Timewind, and Moondawn are all bangers.

Also, I daily drove a Chemex for years. While I enjoy the daily ritual we also wanted something that she could use if I'm not home. Deep in my heart the Chemex is my true love but for an automatic brewer I'd say show me one that is better than a Moccamaster. So yeah, it's fully worth it. Also since you can get them in different colors we were able to get one that very closely matches the Robot.

No regerts at all and little time lost.
I wish I could get a group just for Spirit Island. It's my favorite board game.
I eventually got so burned out playing at least one new game every session with my previous groups. I'd much rather find one to play over and over (to me that's the sign of a good game).
