  1. Man the ancient Greeks really had it going on.   We need to bring back the ostracism.

    "In ancient Athens, ostracism was the process by which any citizen, including political leaders, could be expelled from the city-state for 10 years. Once a year, ancient Athenian citizens would nominate people they felt threatened democracy—because of political differences, dishonesty, or just general dislike."

    It was definitely a low point in my life along with that of the online Longhorn community.  He was a good dude just trying to get through cancer treatments and get back to full time work.

    Apropos to this thread:  he was a huge fan of Killing Joke, as well as Ministry, and he actually worked as a guitar tech for Ministry before he passed.

    as an outsider I forget that some of you folks have a more solid relationship than internet randos.  Good on you for helping out.  We need a lot more of that in the world.

    /surly ministry had guitars? /nosurly

    hey smart guys, if I wanted to play electric guitar and have it come through my bluetooth headphones, is there some cool technology that makes that happen in a good way? Like, is the positivegrid spark thing something that would do that?

    Can't help with bluetooth...  but you might be able to use your wireless PC headphones.  I know Steelseries Arctis 7s have a mini jack port on the back of the transmitter, you can plug from the positive grid to the transmitter and the music will be sent to the wireless headset.  I'm sure there are better options, but you might have some of the stuff you need already.

    https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-7  The newer models you can also take input from the jack & Bluetooth at the same time.  So hear what you are playing and a backing track from your phone 

  4. Heard a blurb on the election on NPR...  They had a reporter in country that was talking to voters.   Turns out the choice voters faced was to elect the economics minister from the status quo party (The status quo really sucks evidently) or some whack job.  The people she spoke with know he's a whack job but at this point they are ready to roll the dice because the idea of chaos was more attractive than reality on the ground.  This was not people choosing Libertarian ideals, he was literally the only other option.

    tl/dr shit sucks, why not do something drastic and stupid

    If he truly follows through on the idiocy of libertarianism, and guts most of the government. It’s going to be fun watching all these people cry when the country devolves into a mess

    I'm not so sure watching the results are going to be very entertaining.
