It has some complex dependencies though, and it will only work if you play music with a music server called mpd, which is in most linux repositories.

This should work well for your needs as well, as things like steam and proton work pretty well, and it has first class binary support as a platform target for many pieces of software, because of its huge community and cloud prevalence.

On acid, I felt awash in childlike wonder and I saw the smiling skull-animal me behind my eyes. The world around me shimmered and undulated, and cypress trees looked like magical towers of green fire.
On shrooms, my animal skull face self was tightly defined and painted in a repeating pattern against a marble tile palace, like a place of worship filled with a mixture of dia de los muertes art and beijing Opera masks. Then I "died" and spiralled down a dark tunnel of those faces, until I found myself flying next to a cliff far above a vast ocean of faces.
I would advise getting as comfy as you can, and listening to the music you truly love. Also, do this with intention. Don't do it unless you really want to. Make sure there is no chance you'll get interrupted or have to interact with anyone besides your loved one.

Just that crusty, post-flu or post-cold feeling. The worst symptoms lasted about a day each: a day of nasty chills, and a day-long horrible sinus headache. The coughing lasted probably 4 or 5 days but wasn't too bad compared to a flu I had once.
I am vaccinated and had the booster shot the month before. I mask up and use alcohol hand sanitizer every time I enter a building.

space_cowboy LinkI really enjoyed The Ancestors Tale which is a book about evolution. It traces the evolution of modern humans backward, all the way to some ideas about abiogenisis.I really enjoyed The Ancestors Tale which is a book about evolution.

In addition to random email addresses, they also offer keywords, which you can use to hand out a new email address on the fly, without even needing a computer. You can also create outgoing random emails, to send an email to some entity who you'd prefer not see your real email. It costs $3 a month.

This could render backup services effectively obsolete.

Interesting; I had never heard of midjourney
Their website could certainly be more informative. They don't give any explanation or background.
