What's one of your favorite genres of music and what's your favorite thing about it?
  • I also can't get enough of electronic downtempo/chillout/lounge music, mainly prefer instrumental stuff but if it's gotta have vocals then make them female. got any artist recommendations? I love all the old Pork Records stuff (Fila Brazillia, Baby Mammoth, Leggo Beast, Bullitnuts), and Elektrolux records (Fresh Moods, Guardner, Index ID, Naoki Kenji, The Sushi Club), Tosca, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Peace Orchestra, Nightmares On Wax, Bonobo, etc.

  • What unusual thing does your pet do?
  • I made the mistake of letting my cat drink from a slow stream of running water in my bathroom sink ONE TIME and ever since then the little wench will not allow me to take a shit in peace, within seconds of me closing the bathroom door she starts scratching demanding me to turn the faucet on for her.

    I'd buy her a fountain if I didn't know that she would still prefer the sink, in classic asshole cat form.

  • I try to see as much live music as possible (within the genres that I at least somewhat like). There's something about being just another face in the crowd dancing to the music that makes me feel like I'm a part of something greater than myself. Everyone there at least has the common ground of liking the music regardless of their political stance, sexual preference, etc.

  • Maybe they're onto something
  • lol that's true but I should've said that I asked him how my scalp looks (since I can't really look at it closely myself), and he said "yeah seems fine, maybe a little dry." That is one thing that I noticed during the winter that dandruff got a little worse since skin dries out during the winter, but when it warms back up the dandruff dies down again. So again just to be clear, not everyone can stop using shampoo/conditioner especially if they have some kind of scalp condition, but for those people with the right hair type, it's totally fine and really not a big deal at all. You don't stink, your hair doesn't smell like anything at all really (as long as you are still regularly taking showers, I'm not saying to stop taking showers lol).

  • Maybe they're onto something
  • It's been 2 years now since I've used shampoo, just been rinsing with water only since. I'm no cosmetologist but my hair feels perfectly normal and healthy, and without telling him anything's changed, my barber hasn't been able to tell a difference. The first few weeks after stopping using shampoo my hair did get pretty greasy, but it eventually settled down and now it's totally fine. Instead of stripping away the natural oils with shampoo and replacing them with the synthetic oils in conditioner, just let your natural oils come back. Granted, this doesn't apply to everyone, I am lucky enough to have a hair type that I'm able to do this with.

  • Is there a way to unblur this photograph?
  • Sorry, focus is the one thing that can't be fixed in post by traditional methods. AI can attempt to make it better but often times the result looks like it was obviously AI generated.. since well, it was.

  • Whose a good comedian that never fails to make you laugh?
  • I have a chance to see Randy Feltface live in December but may have to go by myself since my one standup buddy said he "can't do puppets" lol. I mean I get the puppet hate but this isn't like Jeff Dunham, Randy is actually legitimately funny to the point that you kinda forget you're looking at a puppet.

    also agreed on Mitch, RIP.

    Craig Ferguson is probably my number one though. His specials aren't even that great but the three times I've seen him live have been hysterical, and his Late Late Show was legendary imo, such a quick witted mind for improv.

  • What was the highest mountain you ever climbed and how was the experience?
  • Just did Long's this past week for the 2nd time, my wife had to get revenge on this mountain after getting psyched out on the trough 13 years ago. absolute pain in the ass of a mountain but a beautiful experience at the same time.. we call it "type 2 fun", meaning you might not enjoy it while you're doing it but you're glad you did it once it's over.

  • Have handhelds peaked?
  • Still waiting on my dream of an easily pocketable handheld powerful enough for 100% smooth GC/PS2, while also having great battery life and managing to be passively cooled at the same time. We’re getting close but currently all the powerful handhelds are too big and the pocketable handhelds are too weak.

  • Why *is* everything going to shit?
  • Is capitalism dying or will it just get more and more ruthless until like 10 people have 99.999% of the wealth? Is there a difference? Either way it seems like humanity will have to make a choice soon whether we want to keep propping up a system that has fundamentally failed them.

  • What are the most mindblowing things in mathematics?
  • Multiply 9 times any number and it always "reduces" back down to 9 (add up the individual numbers in the result)

    For example: 9 x 872 = 7848, so you take 7848 and split it into 7 + 8 + 4 + 8 = 27, then do it again 2 + 7 = 9 and we're back to 9

    It can be a huge number and it still works:

    9 x 987345734 = 8886111606

    8+8+8+6+1+1+1+6+0+6 = 45

    4+5 = 9

    Also here's a cool video about some more mind blowing math facts

  • Post your favorite UFO videos! Here's mine: El Rosario, Mexico 2009 - filmed by two different people at different angles

    Here's a longer version of Pedro Hernandez's video (turn on English closed captions)

    And here's Alfredo Carrillo's original video which is slightly better quality.

    This is definitely one of the weirdest UFO videos I've ever seen with the dozens of spheres being ejected, almost seems organic in a way. And with two different people filming it at the same time gives it more credibility in my opinion (the movement of the ejected spheres matches up between the two videos)

    Have you seen these videos before? What are your thoughts?
