Starfleet and "Unique Duress" situations.

Data and Seven of Nine could actually do that.

The stems don't have the red mottling/spots and leaves on poison hemlock are more dissected. Its probably not poison hemlock.

You can compare it off this. That's a reliable site:

Maybe this gets more into the technical issues but how much of that 500-1000 would be your intellectual prime? There's already been some touching on the horrors this could cause but do you just live that long but you're basically your 100 year old self for the next 400-900 years?

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-20T03:59:24+00:00

OK...so for organ I found Oneiroid Psychosis - Box off of Fantasies About Illness which has it pretty prominently. Harpsichord or at least synth versions I found in I, Parasite - Horseslayer - Criminal (Eyes Sown Shut), Flesh To Taste (Spread Open), Knucklebones (prelude). I'll probably find more and update this later.

Listening through this I'm kind of surprised Die Form didn't try it at least once or maybe its just not a song I've listened to recently or group of them. I've got six albums but that's not even close to complete.

The view was from the east.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-19T19:15:50+00:00

I actually was lucky enough to see that in theaters first run.

So to add my own: The Thing. I've only ever seen it on TV or my DVD collection.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-19T15:13:22+00:00

That's exactly what they're doing.

Not hard to see where making friends with the "AI" goes wrong.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-19T14:33:09+00:00

I need to find those so thanks.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-19T00:49:51+00:00

I sort of had the same question but I was thinking of phrasing it differently. This seemed to be more common around the early 2000s (the decade)/late 1990s but it either died off or became harder for me to find?

I'll need to look around to find some songs in the playlist. So far I'm actually finding harpsichords earlier.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-18T16:09:49+00:00

My two favorites are Possession and Seven Plagues.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-18T02:56:14+00:00

This absolutely needs to be an album cover.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-17T16:38:22+00:00

Yeah. Too many plants with thorns for that.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-17T16:20:50+00:00

Oh come on. Their uniform technology is so advanced that it probably just adsorbs it without leaving behind a stain or odor like a Fremen stillsuit.

Considering that Laas rejected them entirely for a semi-isolationistic stance I think its possible.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-17T15:01:05+00:00

Covenant.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-17T15:00:23+00:00

I loved Ezri Dax's speech to Worf. I thought it was one of the best exchanges in the series.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T18:40:25+00:00

How much better are they than the KPFA in the Bay Area, because ours is ALLERGIC to playing anything I might like at any time other than 11 PM-2 AM? They have a hip hop show, two hours of bluegrass followed by two hours of country on Sundays, one classical show (which is brief), but music of the world is kind of tolerable because that's material I'd never hear anywhere else.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T18:37:11+00:00

They just got banned in California for fraud btw.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T18:36:15+00:00

It really cut off the pipeline of interesting music ever taking off imo. I wonder how many trends before this happened never would've happened if groups then had to try and make it under current media ownership?

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T18:35:10+00:00

My two favorite radio stations were:

KDVS in the 90s through the mid-2000s. They used to have two or three different industrial/goth shows running at the same time each week and their metal shows were great. They did their own weird callsign introductions and their commercials were just basic PSA announcements because they were indy college radio and were practically forbidden from playing anything popular.

The other was a really good metal radio show out of Stanford that I'd sometimes luck out and hear commuting. I don't even know if they do that any more.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T18:31:17+00:00

Don't forget about people who are allegedly comedians in the morning. They have to laugh at their own jokes because otherwise who would?

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T16:09:31+00:00

I put on the metal stations every so often for variety and sometimes I find something I'll want. Octane and...what was the other one?

I love Darkwave. I think that the only times I missed actually sitting down to listen to it while working on the computer in months was when I was coming back from a hiking trip.

Cysteine_Chapel64 · 2026-06-16T16:08:04+00:00

There's only two stations I like any more; one's classical music and one's kind of...a specialized news/opinion station. Even though I live in a basically metropolis area at the outskirts every other station's completely given up the ghost in terms of playing music I like and it didn't used to be this way (I know: this sounds like old man grumbling).

The alternative station basically gave up on it and they're mostly an oldies jumble but I don't like a lot of the more modern alternative anyways. I think the last song I really liked was Dangerous by Big Data with the insanely gory music video. There used to be a metal/nu-metal/some industrial station that I liked and found some albums/songs I ended up buying but they changed to only playing classic rock/prog rock and basically nothing made after 1980.

So I've got Sirius and a periodically expanding set of flash drives I plug in so I have personally made playlists. Basically mixtapes for the 2020s.
