    You're lucky for that. Having to witness others around you get caught by the bug is painful.

    That's what happened to me. At one point I had a few full coins but eventually spent them on an offshore seedbox so I could quickly pirate Kitchen Nightmares. Worth it.

    I messed with both systems a bit. The idea of the whole thing is very cool. Just like ham radio, though, I got bored pretty quickly. Most of the communication on the mesh is just test messages or #meshmonday stuff. I don't really know what I was expecting but seeing the upper US West Coast meshcore network is impressive.

    As a 30-year metal fan and noisemaker I'd like to hear those demo tracks if you're willing to share.

    This week I got the second and third parts of the semi-modular synth setup I've been thirsting after. In the last few days I've been slowly somewhat learning how they all interact. I was able to get some very nice sounding drones with a good amount of sonic movement. I'm looking forward to exploring this puzzle.

    I've been doing a deeper dive into Krisiun's discography. Jeez, without going into full tech death or prog territory at all these 3 brothers are some of the most skillful players that I've heard. I saw them once back in the mid-2000s and was blown away. I've really been enjoying how consistent they are and the sheer intensity has been right up my alley lately.

    Oh yeah, also Repugnant's Epitome of Darkness album. It's so good. I wish Tobias could take a break from Ghost to make another good album for once (sorry, I can't stand Ghost).

    Yesterday I started A New Earth by Eckhardt Tolle. I read it about 20 years ago and it hit super hard. My life has been doing one of those big cycles recently, and I want to see how it hits this time. After that I'm going to reread The Power Of Now.

    I have two main reasons: I've been taking a mood stabilizer for well over a year now. My psych and I think bipolar is more likely the primary culprit at play. The dreaded sexual side effects. Ugh.

    I've been slowly tapering off my main antidepressant for the last month or two. I'm really sensitive to medications and their effects, so it's a much longer process for me ugh. This last week was pretty rough because I just dropped down to as low as I can go before opening up capsules. Here's the catch, though. Even with all of these hellish side effects, they're not getting to me. I've been able to maintain a strong boundary of non-attachment. I actually feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel even though I can't see it yet. Other than that, things are great.

    I'm currently reading Stiff by Mary Roach. It's the first book I've read in probably close to a year. I really enjoy how easy it is to read and, of course, the subject matter.

    Do any of you have similar recommendations? I've read a few of her other books along with books by Caitlin Doughty and Lindsey Fitzharris.
