  • You just unlocked a memory for me. One of my dad’s friends had a super cool keyboard, I think it was a Casio. It had midi, and a bunch of built in instruments. Then he had another friend, who was a huge geek, who figured out how to extract the midi instruments from the keyboard, so we could use them to replace the cheaper sounding midi instruments in windows.

    Obviously it didn’t sound as good as the keyboard, because it still was dragged behind by inferior hardware on the PC. Not to mention the fact that some of the instruments just didn’t play, and that Windows liked to crash and revert all instruments back to the default if it didn’t like an instrument we tried to feed it, but I still remember it as something really badass.




  • Well, it obviously depends on the style of fabric. Soft and loose fabrics can be good to have baggy, such as sweatpants or flax-based summer clothes. But specifically for the type of jeans shown here, I don’t like the tactile feel of the excess fabric. And it catches on itself and gets in the way.

    I don’t like skinny jeans either, to be fair, but slim fit is good for me. Im also italian, if that explains it.

    That’s not my experience, those WFH job offers from far away usually have pretty high pay checks but also ridiculous amounts of responsibility. Like, they will pay 40k a month on some crypto thing, but then you are required to be available 24/7, and yes, they will call at 3am regularly









  • Last week, I was watching a live taping of a comedy podcast, where a couple of journalists tell crazy stories from history.

    They were doing the story of serial scammer, Frank Abergnale, aka the guy Leonardo DiCaprio plays in Catch Me If You Can. The problem with this story is that Frank Abergnale might be full of shit in his own right, as the only source for much of his story is based on his self-biography, which is very likely not true.

    The hosts take turns researching and telling the stories, while the other one listens. This week, the storyteller was the lactose intolerant guy. So, because he knew his story was gonna be a lot of bullshit, he had brought a packet of 18 cheap cheeses. So if the listening host got a whiff of this being a lie, he would be able to call bullshit, and the storytelling host would have to eat one of the cheeses as punishment on behalf of Mr. Abergnale.

    All this to say that this comment made me realize, we still have jesters and flatulists today. We just call them comedians and podcast hosts.
