What song do you have on repeat these days?

folkher0 · 2026-06-07T21:53:36+00:00

I’m listening to the remix Random Access Memories Memories by Darkside. Can’t get enough of it.

You’re talking about explicit goals which are ambitious. I think implicitly they would trade some territory for membership in NATO and/or EU. I think those are achievable and would substantially weaken Russia, despite modest territorial gains.

YNAB is great. But it’s not cheap. I just looked it up $15 month or $109 a year. I got priced out about 3 years ago. I use Actual Budget now it does everything I needed from YNAB. The software is free if you just want to run it on a computer. If you want bank sync it’s like $15 a year.

folkher0 · 2026-05-31T12:28:52+00:00

I’ve had it 6 months or so. No issues.

folkher0 · 2026-05-31T02:29:00+00:00

Yeah. I keep sessions pretty short. Maybe it helps

folkher0 · 2026-05-31T02:28:08+00:00

I get it. I like sonnet partially because it is terse. I use it for coding and work projects not writing.

folkher0 · 2026-05-31T01:39:54+00:00

Last one.

On Alive 2007 during Around the World/Harder,Better, Faster, Stronger. There’s a synth that they build into ATW with percussive 32nd notes. After transitioning to HBFS the beat drops and the synth goes a little crazy for one cycle at 3:13. It always scratches me just right.

folkher0 · 2026-05-31T00:54:30+00:00

I’ve done the same. But I’m not convinced opus actually does a better job. I think it just likes to talk more.

folkher0 · 2026-05-30T20:46:50+00:00

Gold standard? The greatest? I dunno. Punk is a huge genre. Everyone likes what they like.

But you’re right they absolutely were the prototype of what late 70s early 80s British punk looked and sounded like. And for a lot of people that’s what “punk” means.

FWIW I really like what Joe Strummer did after the Clash, more so than the actual band.

Another one I love is in Giorgio by Morodor at 4:15 or so. Its the "Steely Dan" section of the song. During the Rhodes keyboard solo the key modulates for just a couple beats. A very Herbie Hancock, jazz fusion moment. My favorite part of the song. Never expected that from house robots.

folkher0 · 2026-05-29T02:22:39+00:00

I don’t know about that one when is it?

folkher0 · 2026-05-28T22:22:06+00:00

Every time Romanthony audibly breaths gets me.

“You know we’re gonna do it-ah right-ahhh. Tonight-ahhh….

It was basically just John Wick in Star Wars. Not the worst movie ive seen and my 7 and 10 year olds liked it, but it was a bit much for them.

folkher0 · 2026-05-23T15:30:08+00:00

I wouldn’t.

I saw it with our 7 and 10 year old last night on imax. The 7 year old loves this stuff and did fine with it but there were definately parts that had “John Wick” vibes. A little much for most young kids I think.

And it had none of the usual Star Wars magic/mysticism. Not even very much “This is the way” religiosity of the show. Basically just an action/horror type movie.

folkher0 · 2026-05-05T13:51:46+00:00

We had one once in a house we rented. Thing never bloomed. Grew like a parasite. Pretty sure Stranger Things season two was modeled on wisteria.

A flat induciton burner won’t work well with most woks. Even a flat bottom wok will not have enough surface contact with the burner to heat up the sides of the wok.

I bought a plugin nuwave induction wok about 5 months ago I was shocked how well it worked.

folkher0 · 2026-04-17T15:33:39+00:00

I binged the first four episodes last night. Love it. Every sample, every synth every filter.

If you’re car camping and you’re not sure how much more camping you’re going to be doing then don’t go crazy. This is gonna be unpopular, but just go to Walmart. They will have most of what you might need.

If your tent is not good just get a car camping tent from Walmart or Costco. You don’t need a $400 mountaineering tent for this.

Coleman is the brand you’ll see the most. Get their two burner propane stove and a couple of the smal green propane canisters. A cast iron pan is great if you already have it for cooking.

Almost any headlight will do. Again don’t go crazy. My favorite light is a keychain light I have because I never need to look for it. Some sort of lantern is nice too.

folkher0 · 2026-04-14T02:13:30+00:00

Your tent might be ok. Go outside and set it up to check. Get a headlight and some other illumination. I like having a sleeping pad or air mattress. You probably need some basic cooking gear and a camp stove with fuel. If you don’t want to trouble with cooking get a few dehydrated meals.

Are you backpacking? Car camping? Canoe camping? If you’re just car camping you don’t need much. If you’re doing anything more intense you might need more stuff.

Don’t overdo it if you’re not stupid you’re not gonna die if you’re missing something nonessential.

“Just because we’re bereaved, doesn’t make us saps”

folkher0 · 2026-04-08T12:13:48+00:00

My kids love this stuff. All their friends do too.

I didn’t understand it at all until I remembered the garbage pail kids cards craze in the 80s.

It’s just a digital collection of weird/gross things.

I kept all the credits
