I don’t know enough music theory to know if it fits the definition of downward modulation, but upon reading your question I immediately thought of Portishead - Glorybox

Oh… OH… Jane’s fucked, isn’t she?

What’s a pip in this context? I’m sure the Project Interference Projection that I’m thinking of is not applicable.

Canal Digital. Scammers.

Nothing interesting, I’m afraid. A picture of a network stack at work. I would upload if it wasn’t for Voyager refusing to play nice.

Forrest Gump, hands down.

It’s a scan of both my passport and Bahrain work visa. Not posting for obvious reason.

Right on red
And T.J. Birrya y Mas in Missouri City, Houston

When I first started driving, it was with manual. And it really helped once I realized two things:

• Being shitty at gear shifts won’t make me fail at the final test. Instructor told me as much. If I wear out the clutch and cox up the engine through repeated stalls, that’s my problem - I can torture and destroy my car through ineptitude, as long as it’s done in accordance with road safety.
• Getting used to the clutch is half the battle. Not clutches in general, but the specific one you’re driving. Once you get used to know how insensitive or sensitive it is, the rest will be a lot easier. With time (and not a whole lot of it, actually), you’ll be shifting gear without having to think much about it, just like the rest; right now you’re struggling with you many areas that require your focus. As you practice them, you will do all of them without thinking about them.

I still need a while getting used to new gearboxes whenever I’m using someone else’s car.

Oh, and a tip: be sure to memorize the gear positions, and while standing still with the engine off you can practice shifting from and to any gear without looking. That’s one less thing to pay attention to.

I had to google ctrl shift windows, l, and…

It kind of makes sense: I bet the type of person who actually use this hotkey is the same kind of person who reposts motivational corporate shite every 10 minutes.

The music varies a lot. Everything from Adam Young, via Hiromi Uehara, to Dimmu Borgir. The common thread is that it has to be instrumental and not annoying.

That’s my career in a nutshell. Most people remember how everything went to shit in both 2008 and 2020. Both of those years, economic turmoil coincidentally gave me huge career boosts.
“Yeah, we’re downsizing. But you can have this position instead…”

Cryptonomicon. It’s not really a short book, but it’s easily digestible as it has clear divisions where it is suitable to take a break.

The way the WW2 plot and the 90’s-plot intertwine is so much fun to read, especially since the 90’s characters are descendants of the ww2 characters.

And of course GEB Kavistik would grow up to be a pretentious cunt…

Love that book

Total War: Warhammer

…because a friend suggested it, I gave it an honest try within the refund grace period, and it wasn’t my kind of game.

Gorillas on steroids. How bulky can these magnificent already bulky beasts get?

Grifters. So so many grifters.

Only a cosweb would think it’s not real.

That my parents never had parents. Sure, I had grandparents and saw them daily, but I somehow never realized that they were my dad’s parents.
