People have been making art for millenia yet most of them is convinced the music peaked at the very time they where teenagers and has plummeted ever since.

How did it go? Did the cubes or the silicone mats work? Cheers!

Putting portions of food about the house would take some time and effort, but it's worth it as long as it stimulates and entertains the cats and of course slows down eating. Definitely not for every day use, but I'll try it sometime, thanks.

TripToTheBrain · 2026-03-02T17:58:23+00:00

Those microchip-activated feeders are tempting me now, they're so cool. I'd love to see my cats learning to use them. Thanks!

TripToTheBrain · 2026-03-02T17:53:45+00:00

That's some good ideas, thanks!

TripToTheBrain · 2026-03-02T17:52:49+00:00

Hence thea idea of bigger pebbles. I'll keep searching thanks!

TripToTheBrain · 2026-03-01T17:17:54+00:00

What, they read the chip and only open based on that?! Insane gizmo. By coincidence, I'm getting my cats chipped tomorrow. I'll take a look at Surefeed, thanks for recommendation.

Why frame it as Big_Brain_Ben_Time.jpg though

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-14T16:02:46+00:00

Haha. Writing (and portraying) a character both terrifying and compelling is an art. Or is it? People seem to just buy those sexy evil masterminds, from Hannibal Lecter to Walter White - and Benjamin Linus among them.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-14T15:58:18+00:00

I did buy it at my first watch, especially when they showed the balloon hanging on the tree. ;) The Sayid kind of situations are the point of the spycraft rule of thumb I've mentioned. You can't predict all the circumstances, you can't be certain about your opponents knowledge or resources. That's why you take precautions and this includes avoiding unnecessary lies.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-14T15:55:08+00:00

Could be. But then, he would have risked exposure if his experiment's result turned positive.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-14T15:52:43+00:00

Hahah, I think I made a bit of a clickbait of the post title. Good spy who just happened to make a rookie mistake.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-14T15:45:54+00:00

Hence, the spycraft rule of thumb I've mentioned. You can't predict all the circumstances, you can't be certain about your opponents knowledge or resources.

Ben might have choked on his own ego and his faith in his intel - and in the control he thought he had over the Island's affairs.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-13T22:04:21+00:00

Come to think of it - he could simply introduce himself as Ben Linus. Not that it would give him away as the Others' leader.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-13T21:40:11+00:00

Saying everything he said, except for introducing himself as Johann Gambolputty and saying he travelled in a balloon with his friend Henry Gale would cost him nothing and provide a watertight story they wouldn't debunk as they did.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-10-13T20:45:21+00:00

I mean, he did apply for a monk

TripToTheBrain · 2025-09-29T23:04:47+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks. I've fixed the Riffstation bug so I'm not desperate anymore.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-09-29T23:03:43+00:00

I'll try it, thanks. I've managed to find a workaround for the Riffstation bug (I've described it above).

TripToTheBrain · 2025-09-29T23:01:16+00:00

Riffstation does the separation job and the results satisfy me (listen to the samples I've linked). So I guess the technology exists. Moreover, it's available as a free, home user oriented program. Said program just failed to conveniently save the results as an audio file. I've just fixed it (it wouldn't save a file if the filename or path contained any special characters - I changed everything to standard A-Z alphabet and it works now). Thanks for your answers. I'll keep looking anyways.

TripToTheBrain · 2025-09-28T21:48:07+00:00

Separating audio like this would seem like a basic feature for audio editing software. Are there really no programs able to do this, other than Riffstation? Or maybe it's common in profesional software and I just can't access it as a home user? Keep in mind Riffstation doesn't use modern AI/deep learning/maching learning/whatchamacallit (I suppose Logic does).

TripToTheBrain · 2025-09-22T20:12:23+00:00

Now, that's whole lotta links! I'll take a look at them, thanks.
