I have to act normal in public while simultaneously questioning my own existence

Something bad happened to me that I saw coming months in advance but it's only affected me once it's happened. Why the hell do I feel like shit even though I knew the thing was coming and had months to come to term with it. I was seemingly fine with it but it's only now.

Congrats on fully formed babby!

Impossible to read in public right? 

There are a lot of records where each side has a clearly well thought out, deliberate opener and closer.  More CDs/digital releases should have some kind of intermission halfway through to reflect this.

ate that acid this morning. was feeling a little apprehensive about it last night so i only took one hit instead of both, kinda glad i did in retrospect. tripped as hard as i wanted to. was a serious one this time. like it was fun and funny for like the first hour and then it got kinda intense and super introspective. first time tripping alone. paced around constantly. took a few pages of notes.

listened to Geogaddi on the come up, really started feeling it around Alpha and Omega, and completely forgot about the "yellow" and it really caught me off guard and made me laugh my ass off. The hypnotist voice during The Devil is in the Details was making me laugh too, like it just seemed really over the top at the time. Really beautiful record though, was a good peaceful start despite all the dark ominous stuff in it.

listened to syro and most of quaristice too. syro has so much like, crazy wriggling shit in it, was really digging it. quaristice sounded completely alien. like in a good way. like "wow, people made music that sounds like this. how???"

after that i played a little piano

                                                                            i always thought SYRO would be awesome to listen/dance to tripping or rolling:)

that would be a nice move on their part. 

I have quite a lot of MP3s starting from the 90s and occasionally when going through the archive I stumble into music that can't be found on YouTube or seemingly anywhere else in the internet. I've been wondering what are the ethics if I start to upload this stuff to youtube?

They're mostly tracks from some obscure compilations, small CD pressings, net labels, self-released stuff, bootlegs, megamixes (remember those?), radio broadcasts/streams, etc. Nothing really mind blowing I think, not like I have the Acid Memories sitting on my harddrive, haha

You're only helping out the artists whose music is currently unfindable, unless they are actively trying to avoid getting new listeners.  The ethics are go ahead and do it.

Yeah, do it

Thanks, guys! I'll start looking into what I have.

Last time I’ve seen as many hacked/shady websites as I have since getting into diy electronics/audio was in the late 90s when I used to check this site that hosted mirrors (I think) of sites that had been recently defaced by h4ck3rs. Pretty much any slightly obscure part that I google turns up at least one site that has nothing to do with electronics hosting a page with part info and/or generated gibberish.

An example found while hunting for cheap esd safe brushes, it’s a website for a small Dutch veterinary clinic;

I have often wondered what does "friday the 13th" symbolize , and what's with the Easter bunny'. Then it came to me.

friday the 13th means the full moon. The moon influences earthly desires, and is its strongest on a full moon, that's where the word "lunatic ' comes from. Crime rates and hospital admittance rise on a full moon. The moon cycle is 27.3 days, half that is 13.65 (when the full moon occurs). The week starts on Sunday, Sunday being 1st, the 13th day is a friday. 

Its not unlucky, its how we use our will.

Easter bunny.

The egg symbolizes rebirth/life (i'm sure all know that), the bunny,  a rabbit, sperate the t you get Rabbi (which means teacher, Jesus was called  teacher) and the separated t makes a cross. The Romans choose the t shape to represent the line between the material/physical world (below the line), and the spirit realm (above the line). The cross should always be drawn with a circle in the center (eg celtic) , this represents the crown, Christ consciousness. 

The lesson of purification.

I'm awoken from sleep by a message telling me trump's got the covid. Get more celebratory messages from friends, wake up, make myself a nice cup of espresso, go to my home office spot and I'm greeted by this view. 

I think 2020 just shifted into it's good phase.

Yes, the camera was a potato.

Yes that's some sort of sunrise rainbow with orb in the middle, I had to use my phones useless wide angle lens to catch it. Had to turn my head to see all of it irl, twas magnificent.
