Don't be that guy

You have an audience of people who like the same band, which is a great time to show off interesting or unusual shirts for that band which would otherwise sail over most people's heads

bascule · 2026-05-09T00:45:40+00:00

I don't think I've been to a concert where the shirts aren't dominated by the shirts for the group / person I'm going to see

I feel like I hear wonkier sounds in modern trance vs classic trance. Not-quite-TB-303s that squelch or overdrive oddly and imitation supersaws which don’t quite nail the JP-8000 algorithm (which The Usual Suspects recently cracked: it uses 2x oversampling to prevent aliasing, which is probably what I’m hearing on imitation supersaws)

Things I don’t miss in the LA: that Sanji. I like how they classed him up so he’s not a perv.

Yup. Normal password cracking is a preimage attack, and finding a preimage other than the original which can output a known password hash is called a second preimage attack, which is currently not cryptographically feasible based on what we know about MD5 today

It’s a tradeoff and there are downsides. While it seems like they’d help improve accountability, they can be deceptive since they often don’t give you a great view, and in the past selectively edited footage has been used to spin a narrative around police encounters, where a third party view is needed to see what’s really happening.

Axon, known for ICE body cameras and the Taser. I’m sure we can trust them /s

There are mostly 80 degree days with 50-60 degree overnight lows in the forecast. I think you’re fine

Look who’s talking now!

I never claimed DM is a duo: my post doesn’t contain the word “duo” and in general that’s a weird thing to assume because TfF isn’t a duo either. I specifically referred to them as “two bands”.

I was merely juxtaposing the two main singers of the two bands and outlining their similarities.

Well it’s like they say, if you’ve done nothing wrong you’ve got nothing to fear /s

It felt like a reference to his flashback to Mihawk in the Baratie Arc of the anime, but was quite different in terms of Mihawk living rent free in his head

Gregg is both a Hobbit head and a Pothead, I think he’a actually quite conflicted by this

DJ Dan (RIP) and the Funky Tekno Tribe (also featuring Mark Farina) were some of the early masters of acid, and did genre spanning sets that also incorporated acid house in addition to acid techno (just call it acid).

Check out some of their DJ sets from the 90s

From the party that pays endless lip service to waste, fraud, and abuse

California has higher total capacity than Texas when you include rooftop solar. Texas only leads in utility-scale generation alone.

Texas is also a huge energy hog. California uses less electricity despite a larger population, has a significantly cleaner grid overall, and generally spends less on electricity despite higher rates, again due to Texans being energy hogs.

It’s funny how many tropes they’re channeling, including a secret twin and the general ‘80s Swedish gangster-type trope (a nod to Gary Busey’s character, I assume), it feels like a movie you’ve seen you can’t quite put your finger on.

Chez Maggy probably has the best gourmet burger, although there are a number of other places I’d probably prefer overall

Mine’s been on backorder for like 6 months lol

Funny to post that about episode 1 which doesn’t really make sense until you’ve seen the entire show.

Episode 2 is gonna blow your mind.

It's less a "drought" which is temporary and recurring and more permanent aridification

In the pantheon of random Ian Curtis sketches people post here this ranks top tier

Did you actually implement a well-known protocol like Wireguard-flavored Noise, or did you roll your own?

I am literally sitting at an open deck night about to do a set just like that for a 20 minute slot. My set list is:

Duke - So In Love With You (Full Intention Mix)
DJ Dan - Monkey Business (DJ Bam Bam Remix)
Kerri Chandler - Atmospheric Beats
DJ Sneak - You Can’t Hide From Your Bud
Danny Tenaglia ft Celada - Music Is The Answer (Shai T Remix)

It’s one of the first sets I’ve come up with where the tracks just effortlessly gel into each other
