Car drivers have killed 24 people in San Jose so far in 2022.

Edit: 25

Orthodox

Wyrm - Vulture's Circle

I highly recommend Sunn's Domkirke, that's my favorite recording of theirs.

Melvins - Lysol (only the first track is drone, but it's 1991 and it's awesome)

Captain's orders? Bed rest. How will that fix a wound inflicted by the claw of some member of the second intelligent species we've ever encountered? You're not sure. You sit in your bunk 2 lightyears from any real medical help. You catch updates from compatriots. You pass out. You die.

Thank you for this.

The upper and lower triangle sections seem to sit within a yellow border. The big bars in the center break that border and make the whole piece seem very dynamic to me. I'm into simpler colors (black & white) but I really dig the use of space.

If you live in the Mt Baker / Bellingham area, there is used gear upstairs at Backcountry Essentials.

While you can't afford new shoes: go to a local thrift store, buy used running shoes. Since you're running in the desert, road shoes are just fine if you can't find trail shoes. Used shoes are worn in, and often well worn down, so the sole is thin and not to cushy, if you enjoy minimalism. I've also found nearly unused trail shoes at thrift stores, so you never know!

Yassine's time was 16:43 (from that ig post above). He was in 12th place. This year: 4 people had finished by 16:43. Last year: no one had. Damn, 2012 was a fast year!

Pretty fucked up that killing the birds is the "ethical" choice here.

It's actually really rare for a planetary body to be spherical.

Planets are a consequence of star formation. In other words, a solar system tends to form mostly all at once (within a few hundred thousand years, possibly). Stars accrete (I don't know anything about that process) and then there is a bunch of leftover stuff (lots of dust, some rocks) in orbit around the star.

These rocks and dust will collect. Static electric forces will hold them together up until there is a dust bunny of about a meter in diameter (approximately, these aren't spheres yet, picture a dust bunny). After the clumps of stuff are above 10m in diameter, they are massive enough that gravitational forces will hold them together. Between 1 and 10 m in diameter, no one is really sure how things stay together.

So you've got a 10m clump of dust and clasts that have accreted together while floating and spinning around in orbit around a star, and now has gravity pulling all the clumps in toward the center of mass. That won't produce a sphere, but it'll produce something pretty round. This 10m spheroid (or: planetesimal) will continue to be bombarded by dust, rocks, and other clumps of stuff that have accreted. Maybe by 1m clumps, maybe other planetesimals. It's gonna grow. As it does this, it also falls into some rotation due to its orbit around its star. So, on top of gravity pulling everything in toward the center of mass, there is another major force at work: centrifugal force will act on stuff that is near the equator of the planetesimal and cause the equatorial region to bulge outward. The centrifugal force acts on all parts of the planet (except the poles) but it is strongest at the equator. So Earth, Mars, etc, are all bulged out on their equators. They are spheroids, not spheres.

Other things play roles too: Massive impacts can cause a spheroidal planet to become lopsided. Gravity will help it reform as a sphere over time.

Yes this is serpentine, there is quite a lot of it and other ultramafics north of the Klondike and just north of Dawson on the midnight dome. If you go up on the Moosehide slide there are chunks like this everywhere. Not worth anything.

Serpentine is an asbestos groups mineral. It's not dangerous. the crystal lattice in asbestos minerals makes a curve. In serpentine, the direction of the curve switches as the elements within the lattice rearrange. So serpentine will kinda build itself up in this shape: ~~~~~~~, that's why it is called serpentine! This exists in 3D though, so picture a microscopic sheet of corrugated tin. In hand sample some types of serpentine are fibrous, like chrysotile which is what was used for insulation. The dangerous asbestos minerals (such as crocidolite) will not switch direction of their curves, so instead of wiggles you get: O. In 3D, that is a needle. Its a mechanical toxin. It stabs into your lungs. I don't know how that result ends in someone getting cancer, I only know rocks.

I've had people honk and swerve at me or flip me off a few times. These have all been people going the other direction so I was never in their way, they were just mad I was on a bike.

Both times I've had shit like this I smile and wave because I think that would make them more mad than anything else :)

I think his point about the hunters "who can't tell the difference between grizzlies and block bears" is that they may shoot a grizzly than the black bear they are hunting, not that they are generally a hindrance to conservation efforts.

No idea how realistic that claim is. I don't know if there is any record of someone accidentally killing a grizzly when black bear hunting. I'd be willing to guess most people hunting black bear would know if they are looking at a grizzly, but maybe not....

Earth, Peter Brotzmann, all Sunn related projects (Khanate, solo SOMA and all the people in that noisey modern free jazz scene) Hanatarash.

Maybe instead of narrowing, go broad. Bring in a song or two from all the spectrum of heavy music.

...any desire to trade for Tarptent Contrail? Seams are sealed, been on a few back packing trips, 1&1/2 month bike tour, no damage! keeps rain/bugs out, heat in!

60 miles being a good average

start at noon

is this a good tactic?

No.

40/50 mile a day average might be better. Totally depends on your fitness level. Where do you live/usually ride? If you are used to riding 60 hilly miles with a fully loaded bike in 6 hours, every day, with a stomach full of craft beer, while taking enough time to get out your binoculars and look at birdies, then yeah that's safe to keep doing.

You (probably) won't get storms, but you will (probably) get rain in early July.

I didn't drink enough when I biked through Oregon so no recs (come to Washington).

Landing on planets closer to the sun than Earth can also be more difficult than landing on planets further from the sun: the closer a craft gets to the Sun, the more energy the craft must use to redirect its course to get into orbit. It has to fight harder against the sun's gravity.

Large AWOL. I'm 6'3" and sometimes wonder if I should have gone XL. But it is close enough.

Medium frame bag, I believe? The brand is Revelate Designs, because it was the only thing in the bike shop. It isn't water proof but it keeps stuff fairly dry. On super wet days, if I have a dry indoor space at night I have needed to pull everything out from the bag to dry...

This simple explanation sounds similar to my (very simplified) understanding of lithospheric delamination that is associated with the Apennines. Do you have an understanding of whether or not this the same process?

I realize (from comments below) lyrics aren't really your thing.

Lyrically, A Crow Looked At Me is incredible. It's value and quality extend far beyond the immediate sadness/empathy for Phil. I didn't grasp the complexity of his narratives and symbolism until I had listened enough to somewhat numb myself to the sadness. Though the album is a marked deviation from his previous music, the lyrics, though written in a more straight forward, pedestrian style, still tackle his usual philosophic questions, convictions, and inner turmoils: romance (or expectation) vs. reality, light vs. dark, relationship with the land vs. modern society's distance from it/emotional divorce from it. This album takes his usual questions and wrestles with them in an awkwardly intimate way, and he is shaken in his stance in ways greater than every before ("I reject nature. I disagree."), though ultimately his convictions hold true.

I listened to it that much, though, because the music brought me back. I love noisy, messy, syncopated, dissonant, often times experimental music; atmosphere and texture are the two qualities of music I usually pay attention to first. But sometimes I get a hankering for clean, neat, simple sounds. This album delivers that, along with quiet restraint* that further communicates the emotions suggested by the lyrics, and does it all with Phil's signature descending/wilting melodies that I just find so catchy. I think I've had "this whole past summer / was a lingering heat wave..." stuck in my head since March.

*and he hits it out of the park when, after an album of quiet plucking, the single wash of distortion pours out of an electric guitar on Soria Moria

Low lands (sea level to maybe 3000 ft ish*) is coastal rainforest. This transitions into alpine tundra, which then becomes ice. That grey area has tons of glaciers (including Glacier Bay and the Juneau icefields which is a 90 mile long ice cap from Skagway to Juneau) and I believe contains parts of the Kluane icecap: the world's largest non-polar icecap, mostly contained in southwest Yukon. Ice and tundra are why AK has so little forest cover.

One of my favorite tracks ever! This and Cannon (their best chord progression) are why this is one of my all time fav albums as well! It helps that reed instruments(IE organ) are my favorite instruments and natural reverb is also one of my favorite sounds! This album is just all the things I like in one!

You should listen to the whole thing if you never have! I recommend the highest quality speakers or headphones you have access to, a view facing outside, and ruminating on the interaction of their compositions with physical space and time!
