Truck drivers aren’t even allowed to go in the fast lane where I’ve lived.

Probably asklemmy (where we already are) is best:

Never knew I liked this too, but it sounds nice so I guess I agree.

Have at it!

I’ve never been able to whistle and I’m so sad about it. I can do the grass trick though, and I can also make a whistle/scream sound using an acorn cup.

I listen to Ghost Data and Porter Robinson lots. Both are electronic music, but I like them more than Zedd or Madeon because they sound more unique.

Ghost Data’s chord progressions are unique but repetitive (I don’t know many other artists that have a chord progression or vocal idea like that of “Queen of Knives”, so it’s unique, but the main chord progression of “Queen of Knives” doesn’t change all that much throughout the song, so it’s repetitive). I like that there’s sonic variety while exploring singular ideas fully, like how the main melody of “Thy Flesh Undone” repeats through different instrumentations.

Porter Robinson stuff is pretty great because it sounds more emotional than most EDM I hear. It can sometimes have words, sometimes not. The Worlds album is more of an ambient and emotional/inspiring twist on EDM; specifically I’m thinking of “Goodbye to a World” and “Lionhearted” as uniquely happy songs.

I give an honorary mention to “Antirrhinum” by MALO because its rhythms are pretty cool and confused me a lot at first. It was entertaining trying to figure them out.

I’d say either regular paper + 10mm lamination, or 12pt matte paper (what people use for lower-end business cards). Regular 65lb or 110lb cardstock is probably not going to cut it for playing cards.

If you’re going to laminate, remember to cut out the cards first and then laminate (and cut out again once it’s laminated). That way each card will be fully sealed around all edges and waterproof.

19C in the winter, around 28C in the summer. It helps that in the winter I just keep a space heater near me (I get cold and turn it on at what a thermometer in my room calls 19C).

That sounds delicious. I never considered citrus in soup. Lemon, I’m guessing?

It’s rather pleasant to consider the way atomic structures and astronomical structures mirror each other.

Unfortunately, no, geocentrism probably still wouldn’t hold in that world. There would probably be one main star the others vaguely orbit. In reality probably the stars wouldn’t tolerate each other and play nice; they’d subsume one another until there was only one winner.

Maybe try different directions. I just tried and imagined a giraffe nudging a fried egg off the roof of a car on a hot day. The heat and how it sears fur on your face is a different thought from someone riding a bike with wheels caught in curtains because the bike idea is more visual and emotional (frustration, probably) and the giraffe one is more physical (heat).

To be fair, I’m quite sleep-deprived.

An intriguing read! Thanks for sharing.

Someone told me once that slapping something metal and grounded will discharge the energy and not hurt as much (you’re expecting the impact of hitting it, so the electric shock comes with it; this is in contrast to gently brushing something and getting shocked unexpectedly). I’ve found it useful.

Everyone’s got a drinking problem :(

Whose fridge door closes automatically? Is this another thing Usonians are unfortunately ignorant of?

I think it’s a 2:1 ratio because it’s X hours traveling there, X hours spent at the location, and then X hours coming back home, totaling 2X hours in transit.

Do you mind explaining a little more? How do you get two days from 8 hours (8/2 + 7 = only 11 hours not 48)?

Edit: Oh, because nobody’s spending 8 hours traveling and then 11 hours at the place and then going back home without staying overnight.

I used to find it funny and do it around friends/family, but more recently the smell has been far more disgusting to me and I have to put on an N95 or leave the room. It’s unfortunate that I have a lost a source of such jollity and mirth.

French, apparently.

Like bonbons?
