Spooky Music
By Meredith Yayanos
The Parlour Trick’s first full-length release, A Blessed Unrest, is named after a well-loved quote by Martha Graham. Creatively and thematically, this album is all about that inescapable trope of the “Madwoman in the Attic”. Some of the compositions are dense and meticulously arranged.
Will this work ???
So I am preemptively going to explain my new screen name.
Saves time.
Corlin = my real name.
$ make -k-e FutureEquity
Is a Unix, or Linux command line instruction.
$ = user prompt
make = To determine automatically which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled.
-k = keep-going, continue as much as possible after an error.
-e = environment-overrides, give variables taken from the environment precedence over other variables.
Please Help.
Ideas needed:
Looks like my Display name is soon going to become obsolete.
Need a new one.

Do We Live in a Simulation?
"As you may already know, my view is that there is no proper external perspective, and the concept of “living in a simulation” is not obviously distinct from living in a universe that follows some kind of laws, whether natural or even theological. The universe is simultaneously the simulation and the simulator itself !"

What is Energy? Is Energy Conserved?
"Emmy Noether in 1915. Noether proved that if you have a system whose equations do no change in time then this system has a conserved quantity. Physicists would say, such a system has time-translation invariance. Energy is then by definition the quantity that is conserved in a system with time-translation invariance."

Damn it.
When will I be able to say NO !
They called and asked if I could come into work....
My agreed upon shifts are Sunday, Monday 0000 to 0800.
But stuff happens, and they know I will never say no.....
So I am in town.
Anyway: I don't know if you folks like my new "Link Dump"
Let me know. I know it is not the same, and missing a lot of information. But until I get back online, it is one solution.

Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier is an active stratovolcano located about 60 miles (96 km) southeast of Seattle, Washington. Located within the Cascade Range, the 14,411-foot (4,392 m) tall peak is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and is snow-capped year round. The origin of its name is believed to mean “mother of waters” as it is the source of numerous rivers, seen here descending from its peak.
Got to run....
Turns out.
The auto generated Link Dump Is getting large.
So I am going to post an update now.
