Well, that’s quite a lot to learn in less than 10 words!

I’ve never heard their music so I can’t say anything about their character or what they might be like, but I sure sounds like they fucked around and found out and then played the victim.

I had this discussion with a class the other day. It doesn’t answer your question really, but the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack is rather unsettling if you’ve seen the film.

Ha, that’s fairly close. Except my students are 19 to 25 and play Suika Game on their MacBook Pros. We keep a journal of what we taught and said each day because when the he exam comes they complain the content wasn’t taught in class, then they give bad evaluations to the prof and leave comments like, “the professor should be more strict with computers and phones in class.”

No phones / No computers is my only rule!

They’re excuse is, “I’m taking notes! I didn’t spend €1200 on this to leave it in my backpack!”

Professor in France… Same boat as you.

This is brilliant

Cultural differences make for major differences sometimes.

Some cultures are more about observing and acting immediately. Other cultures are handicapped by lobbies, for example, or politics as a whole.

My son has already dealt with bullying at school. It lasted months. The school called it “teasing”. Well, that bully decided to bully a girl instead of my son. Once. He did it once and got sent home for the day.

Denmark saw a bully problem and stopped it in its tracks: conversation is key, speak ao they listen, listen so they speak. Easy to say, hard to do.

Better than complacence I guess.

There was a major investment in bike lanes, but many people were being twits and knocking people over and fleeing the scene.

When they did ban there were quite a few angry people, particularly people who worked late at restaurants and used them to get home quickly without worrying about being bothered or taking late night buses and metros. After reading their opinions I would have to say I agree with you, banning may not have been the answer.

They banned the rental scooters. People were far too careless. Riding on the sidewalk, causing accidents, even deaths, and just leaving them in heaps on certain street corners.

A good remaster is amazing. A bad remaster is…loud and/or flat for my ears.

Oh, I should know this haha, I made the last edit on that page…

Cool. I also iluse Alpine as my desktop.

Question though. When I use Xfce, I don’t have a network monitor in my systray. What did you install to make this work? Or did you jus use the setup-desktop script?

It has been ages since I’ve listened to CocoRosie

(Ok, apparently only 9 years or so)

Nice. I will have to check out sioyek after.

I thought about sharing both

This is disappointing. Bandcamp is just plain excellent. Where else can I get decent recs and be able to dl them in flac…Qobuz? And lose the human side?

Yep. Sort of off his hiatus. The Kreative Kontrol podcast has a great interview with him about why he took a break.

His recent stuff is great. And he did a nice interview on Kreative Kontrol about why he was on hiatus for about 10 years. His Drum Study albums are worth a listen too.

love me some clipping.

And Diggs’ voice acting is great, especially Helen on Central Park.
