Our washing machine stops and plays a very specific ascending tone when the load goes out of balance. There's a bird in the neighborhood who's now added that to his repertoire 😫

The ideal amplifier is described as "straight wire with gain". Therefore the ideal amplifier is straight wire, but running downhill a little

Someone thought Dogfight (1991) would work better as a slapstick comedy and we got Dinner for Schmucks (2010) Is that what happened? I'm still thinking about Dogfight 35 years later. I forgot I'd already seen Dinner for Schmucks until 35 minutes before it ended.

Possibly the greatest name for an album there ever was or ever will be Listen to Moon Germs on your streaming service tidal.com/browse/album...

I've been critical of Gen Z reaction vids where they've never heard The Beatles before. However, I wasn't exactly listening to Gershwin or Duke Ellington at their age, other than putting on Rhapsody in Blue at that one party when I found it in the party household's parental CD collection.

We'll that's a bit unusual. Listen to Rhapsody in Blue(grass) on your streaming service tidal.com/browse/track...

It's actually ok to use the special fabric scissors on paper and cardboard if nobody sees it

Re: Trump's Ballroom. Okay, but release 3D models into the public domain so that movie studios can get a headstart on future "Whitehouse has Fallen" type projects

I propose a class action for people harmed by being accidentally on the discover feed for more than a few seconds

Re: the Louvre heist. Has anyone noticed someone who shouldn't own a crown suddenly posting a lot of selfies wearing a crown? Please keep an eye out. Safer communities together.

Hindsight is 20-20, but I really think they should have taken Maxwell's silver hammer away before the trial.

Having a D'Angelo listening session tonight. I bought Voodoo twenty-five dang years ago

open.spotify.com/track/5ePyOf... Topical jams

Woohoo Spotify lossless enabled! Now if they can implement WASAPI exclusive mode in the app, and let us configure the cache location, my only objections to Spotify will be the moral ones!

Buzzy cloudscape over Kāpiti

Don't like Geese

How is it that there is an actual guy on Qobuz calling himself "Various Artists" who is linked from every single various artist compilation in the Qobuz catalogue? Seems fishy

If you like the spooky trumpet burst in the main Alien theme, you'll be happy to hear that Miles Davis's track Bitches Brew is 27 minutes of that

Technologically advance a band The Commodores (FPGA rerelease)

Make a band singular. Pattus Smith Group

Lamestream news chyrons are doing a number on my OLED TV's screen. They should bounce them around, screensaver style.

Thought I'd see how my new speakers sounded without the subwoofer. Reader, the subwoofer has not been plugged in since the day I bought them 😮

My fingers are normal at each end, but they go completely bonkers in the middle. I've got jazz hands.

Get those plants some Brawndo!

Listening to Night on the Bare Mountain on a new set of speakers and the rain suddenly starts hammering down outside. Oh yeah; that's the good stuff

Slept in a Miles Davis shirt, woke up kind of blue 😔

ok ok Angus taught us the Australian/NZ slang was "hoon," as in "hooner," or "hooning." use as you see fit.

Hint for selling an old TV on Trademe: The type of people who want an old TV from Trademe want the model number and a decent photo of the plugs at the back. You may even have nerds getting into a bidding war

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

A cheaper alternative to expensive hi-fi gear to get that airy, highly-resolved treble, is to buy a crash cymbal and give it a whack when the urge overtakes you.

just like, that era of computers being for making things, instead of like whatever we have now - Everything machines that want to steal as much as possible from us just for inviting them into our homes. I want a fucked up machine that will let me make wicked arts and talk to my friends and that's it

Trying to make a perfect looping gif from my C64 experiment. Now to see how it looks on the old BlueSky... It looks a little blurry, so maybe I need to upscale it myself before uploading?? (C64 being a machine of few pixels) #Commodore64 #C64

I ported an old BeesAndBombs gif to the Commodore 64. Some trigonometry and an FSharp script may have been harmed in the making of this character set. #C64 #Commodore64

I bought an old copy of "Mapping the Commodore 64" and this cat is absolutely going ham like it's made if catnip. What the heck cat. (Doesn't smell like anything to me). Not interested in the Programmer's Reference Guide

- It is my right to sigh and mumble - The 40 yr old Commodore's buttons aren't worn out. I've got plenty of dead phones and laptops though - a C64 and a Smartphone both have enough RAM to count atoms in the universe. Both would take an astronomically long time to do so - It is literally a desktop PC

MORE GOOD SHIT LESS BAD SHIT - dashare.zone ADMIN

Ask Github Copilot to do one small thing... it's nearly right but one little mistake. Ask it to fix... nearly right but another little mistake. Oh well I'm not sure where it's headed now, but maybe there's a plan, so I'll let it cook... What I'm saying is Github Copilot is an insidious time-waster.

I've told ChatGPT to only give me advice in the style of DS9's holodeck lounge singer, Vic Fontaine. The only good AI ever conceived.

Good game. Shame about the anachronistic screen. Got my eye out for a CRT 👀 #commodore64

If you see this, quote this post with your first gaming console. Barely enough RAM to store your position, your bullet's position (intentionally singular noun), and the same for your opponent.

I'm from before the internet.

Golly. The picture on my new C64C longboard is much better than on my old breadbin. No chequerboarding at all. Pleased. 🤓

Bloody trademe bloody glitching tonight. Lost a good auction. Thanks, whomsoever is the billionaire currently in charge

Geonet blog posts shouldn't get pushed out as geonet alert notifications. Especially when the title contains the words "big" and "tsunami"

What's the poster you had in your room growing up?

How the duck does that work

I like to add a cry laugh at the end of my online comments so people know I'm old 😂

I've spent a good bit of today drawing mountains for a map inset. I always appreciate when academic authors want more fanciful mountains and such in their book; it's fun and can help the maps tell a more complete story. They're pretty time consuming, though; there's a lot of layers in those things.
