Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.

Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)

(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, but rarher more of a “spread the love” vibe.

It’s the logo for Aphex Twin, an iconic electronic music producer.

Corn smut (Ustilago maydis), on the other hand, is supposed to be tasty.

The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.

I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.

It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.

Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.

Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

I think you two just said the same thing.

The one where the the front fell off?

no need to seriously adapt to their environment.

Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.

The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever…) didn’t matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn’t exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.

Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn’t filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff. This work was split across multiple studios.

I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.

Well, that was poetic.

The bit rate sucks ass, but there does appear to be a connection.

What about CornHub?

Sugarbush Simulator 2000 and Moose Battlefield 6?

Booze.

I have huge chunks of memories missing and that ain’t exactly a bad thing for my older, and sober, self. (Sometimes I still get flashbacks of blurry memories and it is very anxiety inducing. Booze memories are weird and were written to some corrupt cells or something that only pop back up under strange conditions.)

Corruption is actually a feature in this case. Most of that cash is actually pumped directly into local economies. /s

It’s just like the beer that is just labeled “Beer”. If it still gets the job done, the packaging doesn’t mean shit.

It’s so much more complicated than that, it seems. Wool was a major business, even back then: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/urban-history/article/organizing-specialized-production-gender-in-the-medieval-flemish-wool-cloth-industry-c-12501384/A173396BD9F8E10E74634263506620BE

While I don’t think that article proves or disproves a woman being financially independent through spinning, it does hint that wool was extremely expensive and a huge business.
