How's about using Monster energy drink instead of water in the coffee machine?

Anyway, I found out that coffee tastes pretty good when you add coconut oil, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to it. (Don't need sugar, milk, creamer, etc.)

If you make it the middle eastern way it tastes good without anything added (though some enjoy cardamom mixed in)

I've actually thought about using coffee instead of water

I've thought to do it in the past, but regular coffee already makes me cracked out.

opening up some trax off rifts in audacity. feel less self-conscious about my own trax clipping now because goodgod opn was close to the edge like that rapper who compared himself to bono, back in the day

I like clipping, soft and hard. Clipping within a DAW isn't as nasty as the clipping that happens when you overdrive a mic. I'm not against square waves per se.

^tbh i'm into it as well. i've had lots of tracks where I very intentionally brickwalled certain elements. I think it came from the same place as intentionally saving tracks as low quality mp3s back in the day: being a teenager hanging out with older self-proclaimed "audiophiles" & hobbyist producers insisting it was impossible to make electronic music without $10k worth of analogue gear from the 70s. Back then I would have justified it with "fuck u music dad i won't do what you tell me", now it'd be something like "all sounds & methodologies have their use potential, to view certain sounds as inherently more 'valid' is nothing more than the encroaching aesthetic conservatism that you yourself no doubt once rebelled against". But same spirit basically.

I think there was an entire vaporwave spinoff microgenre at one point based around taking iconic songs from the 90s & clipping them as much as possible.

You are Wrong.

Distortion is great. Clipping is boring.

I am not. Clipping is useful for removing transient spikes. Sometimes better than limiting or compression. Also, the distortion clipping can produce can be part of an effect chain and it sounds good. I usually prefer soft clipping for that but hard clipping is ight 2

On a package of instant noodles:

Per serving:
Sodium: 50% DV

*looks closer*

Serving Size: 1/2 package

I plan on discontinuing purchases of instant noodles after this year. They all have a ridiculous amount of sodium. I still have a bunch of instant jjajang bokki bowls I need to use up first though.

(Side note: exercise caution when uttering the word 'bokki' around a Japanese person, as it means 'erection')

low sodium targets are a psyop

pretty much any time i read a book & they start talking about low-fat low-sodum diets as being the healthy kind, i know i'm in boomer country usa

Product idea: N95 underwear that filter 95% of flatulence.

in the year and a half or so my neighbor has lived next door, I've never once seen him ever put his trash can out in front on garbage day. this isn't some recycle everything type dude either, he more or less fits into the typical big truck driving Texan redneck category. I really wonder what he does with all his trash.

Technically, most man-made material is biomass, no ?  It's all made from matter that the earth produced.  I hate plastics just as much as anyone else, but this statement seems dubiously vague.

While this is indeed upsetting, it seems like most of this anthropogenic mass is basically just rocks that will break down into soil in a few decades.  Surely there are worse pollutants than bricks and concrete ?

Also, why does it look like biomass is slowly decreasing ?  Where does it go ?

So if you leave a banana on an onion, does it make the onion smell like a banana or does the banana smell like an onion?

Perhaps, they combine into a new fragrance called bananion.

Eww lol

heres a silly question - didn’t want to make a thread for it. What does it mean in sales when you “iron bar” for the year? I can’t find a Google answer for this but I’ve heard it a few times over the last week.

Maybe it means you've made commission
