I have been dual-classing cyberpunk and druid for about half a century. I like finding places in the middle of nowhere, planning how to get there, and then going there. Not a big fan of people and the various forms of Number Go Up. Food is good.

I did not know this was a thing and basically always do this, because it just doesn't make any sense for people to be mad at me for leaving them the fuck alone Anyway, guess that's why one time on lunch break a lady asked me "Why are you reading?" I still don't know how to answer that question

I'm glad for this but I also hope that Dan is doing okay. I mean, he's done SO MUCH crawling through some of the worst things imaginable. As have many of the CZM hosts I hope they are all able to get occasional rest in a place where people are nice and friendly and distinctly not evil maniacs

It drives me insane when people see anything trans as political. We've gotten to the point where anti trans people think a pride flag is a political statement. There is no anti trans argument that isn't a lie, misinformation, or fallacy, and that's because the anti trans side is evil

most of my job is a lot of VERY gently telling people they made a mistake, showing them the impact of their mistake, and then giving them everything they need to be able to fix it the response I get is usually get is either "huh?" or "NO, *U* FIX" and I guarantee you all of those people LOVE AI

to be clear, "generative" in this context really just means I use a whole lot of low-frequency oscillators to influence a lot of other stuff and then sometimes also themselves, and tweak it until it sounds musical enough to do a live jam over. It's like surfing except audio and I make my own waves

Anyway, yeah, not a good time for me to be doing the stuff that I love (still doing it anyway). I never really released most of it because it's something I do mostly for me but I definitely wouldn't do it NOW- it'd get stolen or otherwise misinterpreted by people who don't care what they're hearing

I have been doing chance-based or generative music composition since the early 90s. Fuckin' FUHGEDDABOUT trying to convince anyone that this isn't at ALL AI, or that "no, the computer does NOT do everything for me" Me using the word "generative" up there probably already freaked everyone out!

Last thing: satcoms are not that expensive. I use a Zoleo. It's fine. It's sturdy. Its also tied to an app on your phone, so limited comms if your phone is borked. But it can still send a location ping and SOS on its own! The device costs $25 more than a round trip Isle Royale ferry ticket

Not at all saying that as a "no tech in the woods" guy - I probably played about 15 hours of PSO (Dreamcast emulator on my phone) in the BWCA earlier this month during storms lol One thing that helps: nav w/ the map first,then the phone to check your work. This helps build map skills, just in case!

Please, this isn't just for you. This keeps the people around you safe, and I don't mean just your immediate group. It helps avoid putting rescuers at risk. It helps you help others Mostly: IT IS *YOUR" RESPONSIBILITY. It's not hard, but it does take more work than whipping out a phone.

UNSOLICITED OUTDOORSMAN ADVICE: if you are going to a remote location navigating with nothing but a phone, you are asking for trouble ALWAYS have a hardcopy map. Always know, at least roughly, landmarks in the general area. Don't hang this on a group "leader", your safety is YOUR job

Welp, time for another painful lesson that I can use as a teaching moment You should ALWAYS give your food a good sniff. Even if - PARTICULARLY if - you just made a bunch of smoked chili powder The trick is to WAIT a few after pulverizing before you sniff, or else your entire face will burn off

I.T. SECRETS REVEALED: if you submit a ticket at 4:58 and it contains the word "URGENT" in it, you need to understand that not only is no one going to work on it, but everyone - EVERYONE, even outside of I.T. - hates you and laughs at you whenever you're not there to notice, and you deserve worse

If you happen to be the person I encountered that decided to get a custom license plate that says "GR8TGOD" on it, I need you to know the following: 1) the added m T means you're saying "Great T God" 2) everyone more than 3 ft away from you thinks your plate says "GREAT T GOO"
