At this point, it kind of feels like stereo TRS cables should be a thing in eurorack. Mixers, signal processors, VCAs, filters...

Yeah. I'm concerned you don't smell anything. If a component blew, you should know.

The electrolytics are not bulging or leaking, but in the first photo you posted, just above the blue twisted wire are a couple crispy critters that don't look so good.

That's just silicone that is put in place by the manufacturer to stop mechanical vibration hum. Those blown caps are where the magic smoke was released.

We need a compact word to describe this. Baudrillarrhea - simulacra buffer-overflow the mehpocalypse - (self-explanatory) PCSD - Post-certainty stress disorder - kind of neil-stephensonish Open to ideas here. The more French the better.

Really really good with a beer. And football... but I don't think the bag will survive until the weekend.

Consider Phlebas is not the entry point to the Culture I'd choose, even though it is the first novel. And if you're going to have a Space Opera list without Vernor Vinge or Peter F. Hamilton, I have concerns.

That's a crazy compilation. I have no idea what is involved in securing rights from European artists for distribution in Canada.

Yes, it's intense, and you want to talk to someone who understands, and no one seems to truly understand.

Here is the music section. Excepting the BSO, count the articles about local artists (hint: 0) www.bostonglobe.com/arts/music/?...

This article in the Boston Globe about how difficult it is to be a musician in Boston, completely ignores the Boston Globe's utter indifference to local artists. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/08/b...

Yeah, I could get behind that. It seems like every movie involving a hack is inherently a heist movie, and that's ok, I love heist movies. But maybe something like how the first season Breaking Bad often had an interesting chemistry nerd fact moment, but for phreaking.

stretta @stretta.com · 07/09/2026

I don't know. I take that back. Anything could be gripping in the right hands. It does absolutely need to be a period piece.

stretta @stretta.com · 07/09/2026

Nor is phreaking inherently cinematic. Ringing up Nixon or the Queen would only carry a couple of scenes.

Based on the trailer, this movie should be called social engineering.

Truth, explanatory adequacy, and transmissibility are different communications optimization criteria.

As the scale and heterogeneity of an audience or population increase, shared context and individual specificity decrease, forcing both messages and decisions toward more compressed, categorical, and aggregate forms.
