        When you are doing deep insertion everyday it starts to mess with your head. You keep telling yourself that it satisfies your emotional needs, but after a while you realise that you are living a lie and that you actually need a little bit of romance in your life too.

        When I see subjective reviews include X destroys Y or some variant, my internal bullshit meter pegs. Reviewer is unable to distinguish between personal preferences and comparison attributes, let alone understand that their personal preferences probably don't extrapolate to the universe.

      Oh why o why did Windows have to have Powershell where I have to type String-Select instead of grep. Grrrr.

        "String-Select?" With, I suppose, the caps? Weird. I'd say it was Microsoftish, except I suspect many languages use this kind of terminology these days.

        One of my jobs for tonight: discover how to search for text in PDFs. An early google tells me there is something called pdfgrep.

        @E_Schaaf - I think I was more agreeing/teasing. That artist has been known for fusing black metal, baroque and breakcore, primarily. I was enjoying your description of baroque->metal mainly.

        Check out metal bands like Sigh (their album Imaginary Sonicscape in particular), Sear Bliss, Code, Gorguts’ album Obscura, Sunn O))), Portal, Impetuous Ritual, Lurker of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Lugubrum, Stargazer, Septic Flesh, Godflesh, Jesu, Boris, Mitochondrion, Gridlink, etc.

        Lemme know if there’s a particular genre of metal you like, and I can give you some “weird bands.”

        Be heavily involved in your kids lives and take action when they’re hurting about something. Young suicides are statistically increasing a lot.

        Fire hit Oak Park, where I thought it would hit based on my use of the Force. Actually it was more the direction wind and my knowledge of the local hills from all that hiking. Was why I didn't want to leave and didn't believe the LA County semi-fake "mandatory" evacuation.

        I once bought my mother a coffee machine and it arrived in the evening. Stupid as I was I couldn't wait till the other day and without thought tested a few coffees. Huge mistake.
