have you done a fart that's like a high pitched whine then after about 5 seconds becomes totally discordant, inharmonic and flabby as liquid shit is propelled into your lower intestine |

Well, I DO listen to autechre. |

My mum does farts that are always a quick succession of at least two. They go “flap flap flap”. |

i noticed some bloops from under my car as i pulled out of the driveway last weekend. "Oh, probably just condensate from the AC," i thought. however, today, driveway was bone-dry; splotches still there. this is not condensate. thankfully, working from home, so i wheel over to a shop i trust. they mostly do tires, brakes, and oil changes, but i know they'll look at it for free and probably find it -- and, hopefully, fix it. find it they did. i have a slow leak in my high-pressure power-steering line. however, they said, "you need to go to the dealership." the dealership, last time i was there, asked for $50 to diagnose the problem, then $350 to fix it... tire place is all, yeah, "that'll be $75 flat." no way am i going back to the dealership... but the tire place can't fix it... there's a shop in town with high recommendations, but i suspect it's all from rich people who don't really pay attention. you can dig into the reviews and find shit like, "they wanted $1000 to replace the whole thing when everyone else wanted to replace a few parts for $250, i told them this, and they tartly replied, `we don't do mickey mouse work, here.`" this, in and of itself, would not be so bad. but i went to them for a new exhaust pipe, and they said, "yeah, it'll be ready in a day or two." a day or two later, "sorry, the part is not here yet." a day or two later, "sorry, the part is not here yet." i was pissed: i planned my shit around your repeated bullshit estimates, and you're all: oh, yeah, whatever, sorry called them today against my better judgement, and guy was all, "oh, yeah, you can come in wednesday morning, we'll take a look at it [whenever the fuck we fucking feeling like it]." no way am i taking time off wednesday for them to dick me around like that again so now my car is drip, drip and that is a timeline i need to respect. i went to auto store and bought some fluid to top it up. it's not a bad leak, but, augh, help, i need a mechanic that's not shit |

""You hear anywhere from 20 to 100 times faster than you see," Horowitz says, "so that everything that you perceive with your ears is coloring every other perception you have, and every conscious thought you have." Sound, he says, "gets in so fast that it modifies all the other input and sets the stage for it." good quote I found in this article |
||||||||

Sound travels slower to reach your head but then becomes information and travels faster than light information. One 'shower thought' from some likely-reddit crap was 'blind people must be especially startled by thunder but deaf people don't even pay attention to it' or something. The wikipedia page on savant john von neumann says: 'Ulam noted that von Neumann's way of thinking might not be visual, but more aural'. Aphex seems like some sort of aural based savant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thinking about it that cant be right, unless the brain processes sound a lot quicker that vision which is what he must mean, unless that guy is just making shit up! I dunno if aphex is a oral savant, I thought he was straight |

In another important thread where I suggested someone poop on the ceiling to make a stalactite, I learned that with stalactite/ stalagmite, one is spelled with a c and one with a g. That's kind of gay. But hey typing bin(-7) in python prints it as binary positive 7, just with a negative sign, instead of the real twos complement value... which took me like a FULL DAY to wrap my mind around, and taht's pretty gay too. A day of thinking how to read a freaking byte in python. Reading a byte.. should be a 15 second search, too bad the language is sabotaged by the same basic people who sabotaged everything else. This one guy poured like molten metal or something into an ant hole in order to let it cool then dig it out to look at the shape. Such people must be totally convinced that nature is just war, if you have the power to kill, then do it by golly. But an anteater does too. Sound physically travels faster than light (in this fake flat earth 3d videogame illusion) but once they enter the brain through senses I guess they become information so can potentially travel as fast as eachother, as they're both the same 'thing' of firing or non firing neurons (the brains 1s & 0s possibly). |

Self replicating spacecraft... You build this machine that can go to another planet and gather resources to build a copy of itself.. that's all that is needed.. soon that planet is absolutely overrun with self replicating machines, then they can spread to more planets etc. until the whole universe is full of them, only warring competing self replicators can stop them. Maybe that's what we are. |

was just speaking to my mum, she is gone mostly deaf now and she said my brother did a really loud fart and it made her jump up and spill her tea all over herself because she thought it was the ceiling collapsing or something, she has no sense of direction where sound is coming from anymore |

My Hedge Fund just went through the roof after Boris became PM. every cloud has a silver lining, ameyerite? however, i saw today, and skimming around, i see plenty of similar articles. i'm admittedly not up on the whole brexit thing, but from my basic understanding, disengaging from the eurozone without a coherent plan will gum everything up for weeks, months. perhaps it's a good time to sell -- or even short. but, again, i'm really dialed into the details |

the dollar has been relatively stable, but trump is gunning for inflation. if, say, you put money into gold, and inflation went to shit, could you then sell it back off, and dodge the loss? bitcoin is more my style but it's volatile and hard to judge when a good time to drop in would be trump has repeatedly been mortgaging shit to keep problems off until tomorrow. trump was initially all, "oh, i'm gonna trim out the fat; we're gonna have a lean government." he's been blowing cash left and right. the republican party, typically straight-up tightwad, has simply let him. now there is and blah blah we need to lower interest rates to keep the economy "good" (through election year, anyways). lowering interest rates boosts inflation, meaning: every dollar you have is now worth less. everyone takes an effective pay cut for this bullshit. then there are all the tariffs. i actually have directly witnessed a result: going to walmart, sterlite plastic bins have almost doubled in price compared to a year ago. it's still not like they're expensive, or anything, but it's a strikingly direct result of all this crap. |

a part of me hopes trump does get a second term, simply so he can be in office when the economy catches up with him. next term in office, whoever it is, will be stuck with a tab. |

1 - guy in the elevator insisting i give him my number, he lives here and often sees me outside with my [some hesitation] little sister 2 - feeling rather upset because friends have to fly back to amerika and there's a good chance i'll never get to see them again, extremely angry at the concepts of borders and visas overall i'm ... doing fine |

a tornado hit the town i used to live in when i lived in cape cod, and numerous areas around. i'm seeing photos of roads i was driving whilst around a couple pages of the "epicmegatrax writes more bullshit" thread were written. i texted my friend i was renting a room from, "aren't you glad you sold the house?" and he replied that, once he'd gotten anything he'd cared about out of the house, he really hoped it would burn to the ground for the insurance money. 3/4 of cape cod's economy is based around the summer rush and . this is smack in the middle of the season in which some people make their wad for most of the year, and there are photos of trees on top of lawn boats. during the winter, it's like "the shining" -- total, maddening isolation. that's why there's opiate problems out there -- carpenters, blue collar guys, with no work for months during the winter; bored. perhaps, now, finally, the crotchety old people that run all the town councils will concede that this business model has been totally fucked for a while |

oh, never mind investing in gold or bitcoin. i just -- finally -- got the letter from the IRS. i was, believe it or, not giddy. it did not last. starting in 2014 and going on into summer 2018, i went through: the end of a four-year relationship, being downsized from a five-year work-frome-home consulting gig, having to sell off all my music gear i'd been collecting since high school, then maxing out a visa paying for food, then having to live in a series of rented bedrooms in varying shades of terrible. before that, i'd been renting a whole house to myself. things started to recover in 2016; i landed a good consulting gig, remote. it didn't matter if i was crashing on someone's couch, i could still get good $$. the work i knew, the rest of life, i was shit. i opted to live in an extended-stay hotel for a bit. it was the cheapest place i could find without a contract, because i just presumed i couldn't land anything tolerable due to lack of credit, since i was carrying a visa balance i maxed out in 2014, essentially buying peanut butter and paying my phone bill, after i'd sold off my gear. in retrospect, i should have bit the bullet and rented a shit cheap room somewhere. but, i had that gig, and i told myself i would come out on top. i did not, at all. my dad was dying of cancer, and i really was not thinking very clearly. i did write a lot of good shit in my "bullshit" thread, though -- that mental hotel, page three and on a bit anyways, yeah. now i have a salary job, a small (but nice) apartment. i've paid off the visa, and a few nice people that loaned me money. my family trusts me again. i got an accountant and got everything filed for back taxes. paid the state taxes off. waiting for the federal. waiting so, yes, when i saw the envelope, i was all: oh my god! it can be over! then, boom. it's easily $6k north of what the accountant said it would be. there goes getting a new car for a bit. let alone investing like i have money to invest |

I am feeling sad and down. My sexless life bores me |
||||||||
|

i like sex, but it's never been particularly relevant to my happiness, or how i feel about myself. i'm more on about how i have to work a job, pay off debts, and at the end of the day, none of this is awful -- but it's not really what i want to do (which is build things, write music, research neurology, whatever). what i want to be my life is relegated to hobby, when i'm tired, after work, a tad drunk. rebelling against this reality is, partly, why i got so deep in the hole. whenever things took a turn for the worst, i would be all "fuck reality, i'm going to write music" and reality simply goes away. i remember, after a breakup, i was focusing intently on writing music. this was because, whenever i stopped thinking about music, i started crying. music > sex |

is the guy your type? yeah borders seem like an antiquated notion in a world that is so interconnected, I guess they are necessary for economic reasons, otherwise places like London would have favelas built around it, actually thinking about it, the UK is so small and London is so relatively big that perhaps we already have satellite favelas. What I really hate even more than borders is the over zealous security people at airports, they seem to be sadists who enjoy messing people around |

n-no he's not my type, i have a little sister, i mean a girlfriend also cornering women in elevators is not particularly charming bro don't do it i held the door for the guy because he had his bike, i should have known better |

ah right, yeah bit awkward getting attention you never asked for, cant say ive experienced it myself, actually I did once but it was another bloke at a party so yeah it is uncomfortable, guess you can take it as a compliment and move on, hopefully he will leave you alone |

I don't think having sex in your life would cheer your up for more than a couple of days, well in my own experience, so I reckon its something more fundamental that is making you miserable, perhaps you need companionship and closeness of a woman |
||||||||
|
|

|

i think the thing that annoys me more, even tho it's also pretty funny, is having to decide if i should correct him about the little sister thing of it could get me into trouble (i opted not to say anything) |

I saved a worm from the heat yesterday, it was on the path and I put it on the grass, I didn't like seeing it squirming in the heat yeah pound stretcher I think I used to go there and get massive bags of winegums i remember going downtown to poundland every weekend at the early 90s and buying megaforce toys, then come back watch you bet or beadles about and gladtiators on itv |

in the states, ocean state job lot is pretty mint. they buy bulk lots of whatever is cheap from wherever it is cheapest. but, it's not a dollar store -- i got my electrokettle for $20 there; name brand. hands-down the cheapest place to buy office supplies. i actually love to go there just for fun, and buy loads of esoteric hard plastic cases, containers, file folders, folios, pens. like, there was this retarded crappy "credit card holder." it was like $2, i bought three. once i tore out the crappy fan of plastic pockets meant to hold credit cards, it proved a fantastic hard-case properly sized for a few cigarettes and a lighter. they've all gradually broken over the last couple years and maybe they'll have more they have food, too, but it looks kind of scary |
