So since my wife hasn't given up her citizenship of her home country and the kids are automagically citizens of said country, I might be going there soon.

Metal is my language. I am listening to the album Annihilation of the Wicked by Nile.

In the spirit of "keep calm and carry on," I leave you with this insight from "๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘‡๐‘–๐‘๐‘’๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐ต๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘˜ ๐‘œ๐‘“ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐ท๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘‘" :

o [Recognize that] past thoughts are traceless, clear, and empty.
o [Recognize that] future thoughts are unproduced and fresh.
o [Recognize that] the present moment abides naturally and unconstructed.

I implore you to breathe and be in the moment. Show kindness, compassion, and empathy. Be curious, not judgmental.

Just the trailer alone brought me tears of awe and grief. I miss him.

I just listened to the latest album ๐˜š๐˜บ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฎ by Sinister and they did not disappoint. I was fortunate to see them live in Germany in 2007 when Aad was on vocals. If you want to hear some old school death metal, check out their albums ๐˜Š๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜บ๐˜น, ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜š๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ, and ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ .

When I was in the military, it wasn't uncommon that I'd be called a "guber." Imagine my confusion the first time
I heard "gubernatorial."

I just repurposed a 2012 MacBook Pro to a Fedora 40 machine. I had to install compatible drivers for the OS to see the wifi card, but other than that it works really well. I tried the Apple support route to see if I could get macOS 10.7 Lion back on there (our friend bricked it), but to no avail. Now I have a new Linux box that starts with the trademark Apple sound.

@Alfred can you create an image in which a wizard standing atop Preikestolen is controlling the surrounding lightning?

@Alfred can you create an image in which a dark, cumulonimbus cloud formation looms over Persepolis?

@Pungent

I haven't heard his stuff in a while. I really enjoy his music.

The first cassette I can remember recording off the radio had "Come Undone" by Duran Duran.

@Alfred What information can you tell me about the constructed language Lortho?

It was horrible Lois! They were all staring at me. Except for the guy with the lazy eye; he sees a loser and a snack machine. - Peter Griffin.

@Alfred Do you know where I could find detailed information about The Book of Vendergood by William James Sidis?
