    Wisconsin?

  • The photo in the article also doesn't display the heat maps legend. Clicking on it reveals a legend at the bottom but the word "quantiles" is AI-sloppy looking. Could be a compression artifact?

  • spend hours ricing my desktop and decided I hated it at the end, and ended up wiping my entire OS

    Jump

  • Honestly I even get rid of the taskbar too. I'll float the system tray at approximately the same place but either let it hide behind everything or fill the space above it with a specific window (mirrored phone screen) with fixed size. Now that I'm typing it out though, I'm going to investigate auto-hiding it until a keybind reveals it in front of all windows.

    I switch programs exclusively with alt+tab regardless and KDE's launcher fulfills the super-menu functionality. I want a fresh session login to open to just my wallpaper. No icons, no task bar, no tray, nothing. An anti-rizz if you will.

    I like the aesthetic and see it as a (tongue-in-cheek) method of security by obfuscation. I pair that with completely blank keycaps on my keyboard and suddenly 99% of the population doesn't know how to interact with my machine.

  • What are some good songs about thriving in a chaotic environment?

    Jump

  • I dunno about thriving but Psyopus - Insects definitely nails the chaotic shitshow...

  • Metal on the inside, business on the outside

  • Totally valid, no rush. My guitar whispered to me a bit yesterday but its been a few weeks so I stuck to warming up rather than pushing for tempo.

    I've mostly been working on Black Dahlia Murder's Statutory Ape and Protest the Hero's The Dissentience in terms of full songs. A few scattered PtH riffs off Palimpsest; intro to Sun of Nothing and the sweeps at the end of Selkies by BTBAM to round things out.

    Haven't written anything in years, just working on my chops.

  • A few more;

    Alluvial

    An Endless Sporadic (Guitar Hero fans know)

    Scale the Summit (but only the first couple albums - Carving Desert Canyons specifically)

    TRAM (Tosin Abasi plays jazz)

    Teramobil (GREAT introduction to my favorite modern bassist, Dominic LaPointe)

    Trioscapes (Between the Buried and Men's bassist Dan plays jazz)

  • I often can't work to their music because my brain fills in their vocals for me, which is sometimes too distracting.

    Can relate 100%. I have audio processing oddities that make understanding lyrics difficult. With how many times I've listened to their albums (1500 times in a row for Palimpsest! I've got the Last.FM receipts for it, even) I know the lyrics mostly by heart. Instead of my brain being distracted trying to comprehend it gets distracted trying to sing along. Thus, instrumental for getting work done.

    Also I can't keep my boys Between the Buried and Me out of this post any longer. Suuuuuuuuch a fucking band. The new album rules, too!

  • CHON, Covet and Mestís are pretty laid back and so fucking excellent.

    Cloudkicker has been around for a long ass time; early-mid 00's on Myspace. One of the progenitors of the 'bedroom guitarist' project, although he toured with Intronaut as his backing band awhile back.

    Arctopus and Blotted Science are fucking weird and I love them.

  • Hehehe I knew that would draw you out. Where's your riffs?

  • Tosin is the greatest guitarist of the millenial generation.

    Also his co-guitarist Javier has an excellent project as Mestís.

    Jump

  • Arch Echo

    Behold...the Arctopus

    Blotted Science

    CHON

    Cloudkicker

    Covet

    Haunted Shores

    Intervals

    Mestís

    Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker's vocal talents and lyrics. However as a guitar nerd and PtH fan I approve of their inclusion.

  • Technical death metal to amp up on the drive in, instrumental prog to get the work done, black metal to decompress on the way home.

  • Hate and bigotry is good for business. Solidarity and community is good for labor.

  • What is a "Jerk Hut?

    Jump

  • The hut employs you as a crust stuffer actually. At least the tips are good!

  • Please? I finished Good Omens... what next?

    Jump

  • Its definitely worth the time investment. World building is amazing, very wide variety of character perspectives and motivations. I'll admit, I've never actually finished the series either. I made it to book 8 twice before falling off because you're right, ten massive books is a lot. I do have book 8 on order now, going to start from there this time.

    Also if you or anyone reading this comment likes black metal check out Caladan Brood. The project is named after a Malazan character and all the songs on their single album are rooted in various plots from the series.

  • Please? I finished Good Omens... what next?

    Jump

  • Tossing Malazan Book of the Fallen into the "chewy" pile!

    Also seconding Redwall, Brandon Sanderson and Terry Pratchett. Robert Jordan likes to tug braids for chapters at a time but there's still good nuggets throughout.
