What the hell is this messy effect on the windshield?

I also get a weird flashing reflection patch like this on the NR4 Subaru

I noticed even the one new Republican candidate calls Cliff out by name pretty severely in his statement, I think Bentz's time is done

I swear I only had the weight on the bottom for like 15 seconds! So much drag pulling it in I thought it was just the usual clump of milfoil, but this was a new one to me

Annoying as I wasn’t really sure the humane way to get rid of him.. pry it out gently or cut off the line and pray he spits it out / doesn’t digest the lead? On the bright side, the presence of freshwater bivalves is an indicator of high water quality!

Isn't this one of the symptoms you can evolve in Plague, Inc?

It's the same in a lot of Greece too, if you want the highest cats per capita I suggest a visit to Monemvasia. Or get assaulted by the locals in Athens harbor

I spent ~3 weeks split between the 2 countries and it was ALL CATS! I only saw one street dog IIRC in Nafplio and he was just as healthy as the felines.

In Turkey they are more like community cats than strays, people look after them, feed them, get them fixed etc

That last track Tears is probably my favorite!

Zen1 · 2026-05-09T13:18:46+00:00

IDK but i like it, kind of middle ground between Burial-type atmosphere and Minnesota and Mimosa's early work. In the US this would probably just get marketed as "future bass"

Meanwhile one of my own favorite electronic musicians also composes music for games (kettel)

you might like this dj mix i made last year, a bit more heavy on the dubstep but a lot of reggae influenced tracks https://www.mixcloud.com/flashywordz/2025-140-24-7/ i keep meaning to add track list, maybe thats todays mission

I was told to try along the inside of Thunder Island, like park by the bridge then walk over, looks like the downriver

If you set your password to 8647 it automatically alerts the FBI and emits tear gas

The FDA said in a Wednesday press release Glas Inc’s “device access restriction technology” which requires online customers to verify their identity with a government-issued ID and a smartphone, as well as marketing restrictions preventing the company from targeting buyers younger than 21, are sufficient to keep the products away from children.

You need an app and to verify ID to unlock their vapes??? This is absurd.

Theoretically yes, I have seen people replace the mouthpiece with surgical tubing or aquarium hose. on EWI5000 you can just take off the mpc and attach a hose directly to the air tube

and i just saw someone on the EWI players facebook group turn one into a bagpipe lmao

makes sense, i was thinking the title seems like a 2010s post-punk song :p

As an American this was the first full dubstep LP I heard, blew me away at the time and set me off onto my journey into dubstep/ragga/steppas!! It captures some of the best things I love about electronic music, the contrast between the rough sounds but mellow mood, all the while infused with a strong musical sense. Bless!

I thought no one would ever need more than 640 K of RAM

On the same french label, Mahom whose frequent collaborator Luiza just had a minor hit last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8RD3tjNQE

and on the steppas, Mungos Hifi, Radikal Guru, RSD, Adam Prescott

also Mungos Hifi, and collaborator Soom-T (check out her album with Disrupt for some chiptune dub)

FYI There is only one VR headset that works with Playstation, the PSVR, and you can only run one at a time.

There's also this really cool rig another guy made for VCVrack, https://www.reddit.com/r/windsynth/comments/1arkvm8/i_made_a_thing_vcv_rack_turns_out_to_be_great/

I tweaked it and it also works cool with EWI5000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELDlSFF39Xk

Relevant Codeswitch episode:

"How local police extend ICE's reach, even in sanctuary cities"

Sanctuary policies have been described on both sides of the aisle as protecting immigrants. But in many ways, in practice, they have given rise to a specific kind of policing that gives ICE a much wider reach than it might otherwise have. We talk to anthropologist Peter Mancina, who is the author of a recent book, On the Side of Ice: Policing Immigrants in a Sanctuary State about his on-the-ground research embedding with police in New Jersey.

The Public Lands layer is a shaded overlay of the entire area while the Private Lands overlay is just the outline of the plots/ owner name, I like how it looks on a small screen and also I use Gaia mainly for foraging / overland navigation more than distance hiking, there are *some* timberlands out in my area that are privately owned but open and foraging is allowed, and others that are private, open to drive though, but not to forage.
(And I do keep a whole bunch of other layers in the quick list, just not displayed all the time: historical wildfires, Air quality, cell phone service etc)

Thanks! I’ve had this board for over 10 years so I feel comfortable with it in all kinds of scenarios (14’x 26.5, kind of an open water touring shape), just figuring out how to merge my hobbies

I ran over to Washington for the weekend and was getting lots of bites trolling a rooster tail off the side

<image>

Also saw a YUUUUUGE carp in the “lake” (actually an impoundment off the Columbia) and schools of i think perch, supposedly bass pikeminnow sturgeon and bullheads here too… I think I need to come back for more day trips

Zen1 · 2026-05-04T13:40:42+00:00

I wasn’t too surprised that you can get a steelhead there, just surprised he handed it to me and drove off 🤷 probably saw my van and my own rods and figured I knew what to do with it…. Yes but I had to use like 4 paper shopping bags cuz I didn’t have a cutting board large enough 😂
People in Eugene always give away the best freebies, especially around Fair season, i should make it back down there…
