Debian the foundation of the modern world. Or at least we wish it was.

That is because to be the most efficient they have to constantly adjust the deadzone temperature. Its not just monitoring but active control. This is based on local air temperature, humidity and stock levels. To be even more efficient they put a thousand fridges online so that a small team can do the work of a much larger local team.

So the real reason is that to increase profit margins, they consolidated lots of workers behind a few and did this via the internet. A common story the world over.

Yes, we know it was called the The South American Blackout of 2019.

Maybe a bit of both. Could be an intellectual form of Hanlon’s razor. Don’t mistake obscurity for intelligence.

Folks in the US are both comfortable enough and unsteady enough that they will not move. It was Zizek about a week back who said it, people are not desperate enough yet to get to this stage. *** sniff! ***

The thing that saddens me isn’t a headline like that, it is that there will be more like him afterwards. :(

Turns out I just posted this further up the page with different wording. 🙃

Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern.

There is someone who works a new stand. Everyday an elderly man walks up to the stand, looks at the news papers and the walks of in disgust.

Eventually the worker stops the old man and asks him “Why do you do that every day?”

The old man says “I am looking for a specific obituary.”

The worker says “But the obituaries are in the back on the new paper.”

The old man says “Not this one.”

Is Kramig the next Blahaj?

A thousand times this! It isn’t the popularity that is the issue, it is the economic model of exploitation.

Spot on! Youth should power and drive the future, the elders should avoid the pitfalls they made themselves.

Currently, there are a fair amount of people trying to convince us that Iran is the enemy. Yes, their culture has its issues. But it doesn’t really work when the 5 Iranians I personally know are some of the nicest people you will meet.

Our differences are far smaller than the things that unify us.

High ambition is over rated. Those that hustle have the same mentality as a cat chasing its own tail, they can never arrive. All there is is now.

Hmmm… yes, I will listen and act on this unquestioningly.

That’s cool, different tastes for different folk.

It was a few years back there is the group King Gizzard, the sub-reddit started to have a lot of tier lists for their albums because they had a decent back log by then and they spanned a wide range of genres. It was fascinating seeing how wildly different people ranked these albums. Some that many considered a classic would hit the D tier list on others. Very cool to see.

Some see Pink Floyd as S-tier, other could barely muster a D-tier. Just how it goes.

I will make a broader statement with the addictions. Try to minimize dependence in all its forms. Not just chemical, but social, physical and economical. Easy to say, difficult to do but it is worth it.

Something I find fascinating about a lot of 80’s tracks is how tastefully subdued they are. Like they could have gone far harder but knew to keep it restrained in just the right way.

One that always comes to mind is ‘Slave to the Rhythm’ by Grace Jones. I masterclass in playing it cool.

I will forever associate crunk with like 2 minute appearance of ‘The Crunk Clown’ on the show Flavor of Love.

Skip the wine and have a really nice piece of bread.
