I will!

Metallica for a dark, thoughtful mood

Dragonforce for fun, energetic, silly moods

Mick Gordon’s DOOM soundtrack when working out

Avenged Sevenfold for a carefree, fuck the world attitude

Blind Guardian when I’m looking for high fantasy, “take me away” mood

Sabaton when I want some motivation for work

Rhapsody of Fire for when I’m cleaning alone and want to get into some classical feeling stuff

Killswitch Engage when I’m feeling edgy

Korpiklaani when I’m wanting to go on a run

Parkway Drive when I’m angry or sad

There’s so many more than this, and much of these have overlap with specific songs instead of general artists, but this gets the point across, I think

TeckFire ,

So, this is gonna sound weird, but I actually find a lot of these bands calming to listen to. I’m autistic, and have a lot of weird sensory issues because of it, so music that’s too simple (a lot of pop or punk or other genres that show up on the radio usually) doesn’t fully grab my attention. Like, there’s not enough happening at once for me to feel immersed in it.

So I’ll end up listening to Power Metal to fall asleep sometimes because I can hear every instrument individually, and my brain switches focus to each one at random times, and it’s stimulating enough that I can be completely distracted from my other senses and calm down. Dragonforce is my go-to because they even have two lead guitarists at the same time.

That said, I do have songs of every genre in my library, and if I do want something slower or simpler, there’s a ton of Metal ballads that aren’t necessarily high energy. Try something like Crimson Day by Avenged Sevenfold, Remembrance Day or Trail of Broken Hearts by Dragonforce, Christmas Truce by Sabaton, or Mother Gaia by Stradivarius.

There’s a lot more examples, but you can certainly have slow, calm metal. I could probably make a decent sized playlist

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what model of car this is?

Now imagine the scraping of steel against teeth on this and it just….

Don’t see ads for it anymore either. I kinda miss the old “how it feels to chew 5 gum” ones

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust

By far the most badass song to walk up to one of those mfers and deck in the face

TeckFire ,

That’s why the only take I have ever found that’s reasonable regarding religion goes a bit like this:

Hell is not real. Not in the literal sense, anyway. We all go to “heaven” or whatever afterlife it is, but we get a chance to reflect upon our entire lives. If you were a good person, then you may feel some regret for the harm you caused others, but you can generally feel satisfied with your previous existence. If you were a terrible person, you probably wouldn’t want to be around a being such as God, which, if he’s everything he’s cracked up to be, is the most “goodness” that ever good-ed. So by extension, your “hell,” your “separation from God,” would be the guilt that drives you away, by your own accord, despite his forgiveness, and not actually a sentence that you are condemned to.

I can see some merit to that thinking, at the very least it’s not completely unfair as we see with so many mainstream religious takes.

I suppose there are probably more that I’m not aware of, but I hope this clears it up.

TeckFire ,

Son of a bitch, you’re right lmao

TeckFire , (edited )

I feel like a dumbass

I totally read your comment as “Megahertz or Millihertz”

Now I realize it should just be Meters•Herts or m•Hz

He does say that lol

“Highway to the Danger Zone”

“I’ll take you right into the Danger Zone”

“Ride into the Danger Zone”

All these lines are from the song at different parts

Many states have laws prohibiting the use of anything that isn’t hands free, including integrated media controls. Won’t stop anyone, but just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean people won’t do it. Same as speeding, or eating/drinking while driving in many states.

Humans create an AI computer. They propose the question of how to get more energy. Then, they wonder what will happen once the energy they collect runs out. So they decide to ask the AI, “can entropy be reversed?”

The AI responds “insufficient data for a meaningful answer.”

This repeats for generations. Trillions on trillions of years. And eventually, after everything has left, mankind is no more, and all that remains is the AI in a state of hyperspace, between spatial reality, it finally decides it has enough data. Its response to this collection is to take it upon itself to reverse entropy, and release energy back into the universe.

Its final command is: “LET THERE BE LIGHT.”

The difference:

2023-12-12T21:18Z is ISO 8601 format

2023-12-12 21:18 is RFC 3339 Format

A small change

TeckFire ,

Z indicates UTC. Alternatively,

2023-12.12T21:18-05 for time zone as central. The UTC time zone code at the end just tells you where the time is taken from. Usually Z is used since, well, it’s “universal,” but having a +13 or -06 or whatever else brings context, and allows computers to synchronize the string of text into a comparable time for event logs and such.

TeckFire ,

IMO, ISO 8601 is better for computers, people working with multiple time zones, or critical logging.

RFC 3339 is better used colloquially, while still remaining unambiguous for the use cases that most people use dates and times in.

TeckFire ,

I couldn’t agree more!

I’ll compromise. Only 10 pushups now, but I’ll do another 10 every hour for the rest of the day. Deal???

So, there’s a balance. If you don’t build enough room to do anything but drive slow to be safe, the moment someone is fast, the chances of a crash are very high.

If you build a road that has too much clearance, you end up with people driving faster, which is okay because there’s more room for people to be out of the way, likely reducing the amount of crashes. The drawback to this is, if people drive faster, the fewer crashes that do occur are at higher speeds, which are more deadly.

So the ratio of number of crashes to severity of crashes is what the end result is.

Granted, I live in the US where single lane country back-roads will have people in trucks going down at 50MPH randomly, so I don’t know if Europeans drive more cautiously. I know their driving tests are more comprehensive for sure.

TeckFire ,

In the US, generally you cannot pass in the right lane except when the left lane refuses to move over despite having ample room

TeckFire ,

100% agreed. If I don’t set cruise control, I usually speed on my commute due to me just focusing on the grip of my car, distance to/from other cars, and perceived speed. It’s just hard to gauge speed without checking often on my speedometer, which isn’t as safe. Even just trying to follow at a constant distance in the right lane is difficult because the semi trucks usually end up having wide speed differences at random times, meaning 60mph-80mph depending on the hill usually.

TeckFire ,

At least you’re getting 50+ MPG. I want a ZE1 insight so bad…

I’ve just been in this place before

“In North America, the first through fourth generations were offered from 1958 through 1972, being replaced by the Corona Mark II.“

1973-2018 models (so fifth to fifteenth gen models) were not USDM. Honestly, I thought when Toyota announced the Crown replacing the Avalon this year, that it was a new vehicle. Guess I was mistaken. In fact, reading up on it, it was the first Japanese car ever sold in the US. Fascinating!

TeckFire ,

I thought Wednesday Addam’s said that?

TeckFire ,

I just realized if I count my commute, I will spend nearly 3,120 hours of my year working…

TeckFire ,

Look, I’m going to go straight from the Bible here, skip all the “god is real god is not real” stuff.

Look, if God is real and he created all of everything, why in the hell would he also decide that nearly every living thing would suffer forever? The only two reasonable explanations are that no animals go to heaven or hell and they don’t have souls and heaven is purely for humans, or they will be pardoned because one that doesn’t know good from evil cannot be damned. Not to mention, have you not read Genesis 2? It’s literally Adam and Eve who are perfectly fine but once they know good from evil, suddenly that knowledge allows them to be damned. If a dog or a cat can’t know good from evil, why would they ever be damned?

Please at least read the book you follow

TeckFire ,

That sounds like the best idea that will never happen because it only benefits the working class…

Maybe someday, though
