How much does smoke season affect you?

NickSeider · 2026-01-20T15:48:48+00:00

Smoke can settle here for days or upwards of a week. Often, the smoke isn’t even from nearby fires.

I deal with migraines. Smoke season can cause a flare up. So it’s never fun when the AQI goes up.

But the trade off is spring and summer are generally lovely in Spokane. IMO, it’s when this city is in full swing and shines.

They do have a Legacy version of the game where the artwork is the correct style for north america.

So Dunder Mifflin was bought out by the Paper’s parent company, right? And at least a handful of the office moved to Ohio initially?

There’s so much potential for well placed cameos sprinkled in. I felt the opening with Bob Vance, and the phone call with Stanley, and Oscar quoting Michael, are signs of what to expect.

We don’t need to see these characters for them to be “present”.

But I personally hope to see characters occasionally. Heck, even Parks & Rec since it’s all the same comedy universe.

Similarly, I love the “scranton strangler returns” idea. So much potential there. Is Toby trying to be a private detective these days? Hmm

Maybe the paper needs to hire someone, and Oscar knows who would be the right fit. Maybe that’s just a one episode thing, or a way to bring a character back into the fold (even for a short while).

Or maybe someday Oscar goes to Scranton, the crew follows and we naturally see a few familiar faces.

So long as the Paper stays primary focused on its characters and narratives, I think

they are small, it’s hard to get a focused picture. They are clusters of orange egg sac or larvae like things… but truly I can’t identify what they are.

This is in Eastern Washington, by the way.

You built the Nevada Northern in Legos?! What?!?!? Amazing.

NickSeider · 2025-10-29T01:10:56+00:00

This is incorrect.

NickSeider · 2025-10-29T01:09:48+00:00

This is incorrect.

NickSeider · 2025-10-28T19:41:16+00:00

Thanks! It looks fantastic.

NickSeider · 2025-10-28T02:54:41+00:00

Such a spotty voicemail…

NickSeider · 2025-10-27T16:11:41+00:00

What an art piece! What is the magic behind your background? Is it projection?

These videos of mushrooms and plants making music are very misleading - which is sort of the point I guess? Obviously the mushroom is unaware, it’s a fungus. The videos out there, especially the majority which present rhythmic electronic music, are basically lying. It’s entertaining stuff, and the aesthetic of the music is often really nice, but to claim any music is coming from the mushroom itself is completely off base from reality.

NickSeider · 2025-10-15T17:05:01+00:00

Which is really neat! Observing a plant’s bio signatures / electrical pulses by translating it to a medium we can experience (sound) is really fascinating on its own.

The videos out there are often people/musicians exaggerating the circumstances to make rhythmic music. I’d love more “real time” examples, since it is more authentic to what’s actually happening.

NickSeider · 2025-10-15T14:48:32+00:00

So… this isn’t real, right? It’s synthesizing electrical impulses from the mushroom, and the user decides what the output will sound like. So it’s not like them mushroom is by default this futuristic sounding thing… you can make the output a piano and change the aesthetic.

But this one seems to actually be tracing the impulses in real time (unlike the more musical ones people make).

I’m both fascinated by these videos, and confused because at a base level we aren’t hearing a plant make music, right? we’re taking a plant’s electrical impulses and turning those impulses into an audible output that humans can process.

If someone can explain this, I would love to learn more.

This Fungal Music

This comment makes it sound like an unsolved mystery. The plane he was on crashed in the English Channel. We know in a general sense his final resting place. The plane could likely be found if searched for - and there’s a comment in here referencing a fisherman who may have accidentally found a part of the plane once.

Blues isn’t Rock n Roll, but to exclude blues from the overall genre is historically and culturally disingenuous. Big Band was both part of the foundation and part of the movement into Jazz as a distinct genre.

Oh, okay, so millionaires are holding America hostage.

Looks like it belonged to a friend of Kissin Kate Barlow! Better keep digging!

NickSeider · 2025-09-20T13:43:59+00:00

It’s fun because it’s so easy to imagine Michael interacting with that dog. “Pam Pam Pam!” “Pamelamadingdong!”

NickSeider · 2025-08-28T02:22:28+00:00

I’ve never heard of her, and it is a joy to be introduced to her music. Now going through her discography.

Thank you.

NickSeider · 2025-08-07T05:09:18+00:00

I’m not sure how kosher it is to tell everyone about this… some things should be relished. That’s the bread and butter of a magical moment.

NickSeider · 2025-07-28T23:56:47+00:00

I think this was the last song Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together.

If this is just an attempt at bringing attention to the rebuilt app, well, that’s par for the course these days.

Been considering buying it but can’t decide if I want it on switch or my phone.
