Found my old music collection, I should probably back it up somewhere, like I say I should every year when I find it again. What's everyone else listening to today?
Did the quarantine end in the US or why has the MDC been so dead lately?

birdeatingspider said: Thank you,Loph and Patrick for elaborating on this climate issue. IIRC, is natural resource management along your career path? It's interesting, 'Forestry' always seemed like an evil, tree murdering position of doom. Wasnt until I lived in Missoula in a house with a bunch of guys studying at the University- its,quite the opposite. The misconceptions I had were further from the truth, and I was educated on the intricate dynamics of forest and land health.
So I suppose I figure with all this great science, why cant we get a handle on these devastating, yearly fires? What I'm alluding to is, is there some sort of government hang up? Because I thought Cali and CO had intact state government(wise to conservative means).
It breaks my heart. When Sandy devastated the coast, people rallied together and rebuild the beach. My states ODs have ravaged like, well, wildfire. Via a Find Hope campaign, citizens organized a walk to end opioid addiction. My round about point is that I'm sure the people have cleaned up and planted trees, after all, rebuilding a beach is quite different from tackling climate change. Much like the rainforests' destruction.. Wish there was,more, especially with the decades of research we have underfoot.
We can't get a hold of the devastating fires because when it literally doesn't rain for 6 months, and with constant wind, everything turns dry and golden and is just waiting to go up in flames. Especially with a freak lightning storm in the middle of summer here.
In a way the fires are good because they will get rid of all the euculyptus and non-native plants and allow the normal, less flammable vegetation to grow back. Also, the redwoods need fire as part of their life cycle. It just isn't good to burn millions of acres of the most beautiful forests in the world. Burning 100,000 acres here and there would be much better.
We just need more firefighters and more of those planes that drop water. The terrain here is hard to traverse, especially off trail because of the mountains and hills. If we had 1,000's of those water planes ready to go then we could put these fires out much quicker, but that is a lot of money that could go to the greedy people.
The forests of Cali and CO will grow back, hopefully better and in a more natural state and the homes will be rebuilt. The main problems are climate change and over population and those are hard problems to tackle without great leadership. We also have an opiate problem here coming from people feeling emotional pain and stress along with a housing shortage and homeless problem. Also gangs with really cheap drugs.

That reminds me...
The other day I was walking through the open air drug market area of my town and I heard someone say "Fentynal, Chiva, Crack, Molly, and Haircuts." He said that exactly like that and the other guy that was passing by too said "Let me get a haircut." So the guy told him he had to do it in the car and to get in the front seat.
Kind of funny that they are selling all those hardcore drugs openly, but then they have to be more careful about getting a haircut. I never thought I would see anything like that and it made me laugh at the strange predicament that we humans have got ourselves into.

Listening to this. It's the guy from System of a Down.
Cool video T-rex, we're now in the future! That thing looks like it gets hot as fuck, but maybe not. I would like to see the blooper reel of testing it out, especially when the general public gets ahold of it and grandma and grandpas are testing it out. We're going to need a lot more ER doctors.
I really need to get to sleep soon, but at the same time I need there to be at least 2 more hours in this day. Gotta be up early for work. Once I get there I can probably nap for at least an hour, then get paid to play Nintendo, but I need to be there early to guide the power company on how to do their jobs.
Everybody enjoy the rest of your nights and have a great day tomorrow!!! Good vibes, kisses and hugs, and LOVE is coming your way!!!!!

Hey Trex, check stuff like these out if you're in the market. Just food for thought on different directions you can go.
https://www.recroommasters.com/Xtension-Stand-Up-Pedestal-Arcade-Machine-p/rm-xt-ped-stand.htm
Many controller stands like it out there. You can just hook them up to a computer, use emulators and has a more modern feel for a bit cheaper than a whole cabinet. One of those stands, a cheaper used laptop and a wall mounted TV and you can do a lot.

Could do stuff like that^
If you're set on a cabinet style like the one you posted, check facebook marketplace and craigslist for hobbyists. Some people in your area might have high quality ones custom made with your own print on them for the same price point.

Thanks! We have set that one as the one, it's got that old bar/bowling alley/pizza joint feel to it you know? I'll probably never play them all actually, but it'll be fun to have and try.

It's always been a dream of mine to make boutique arcade machines of some sort. Like develop a retro arcade style game and distribute it exclusively in arcade cabinet format. If the game was good enough and you built up enough hype you could charge quite a bit per unit. To hipster cafes and stuff.
Another idea was to have a CRT TV with a video camera pointing at it inside, and the controls would move the camera and change the TV brightness and contrast controls etc. An analog video "game" where you manipulate swirling blobs of color. Maybe add in some smoke and mirrors.
Not sure how video feedback looks with all digital gear. Maybe still cool?

Hey erryone!! *wave
I really wish our mall around me would put a freaking arcade in it. Apparently there was a really awesome one there like a decade or so ago and they yanked it. It was when the mall was doing alright but now we’re like.... so empty. We lost our Bon Ton and Sears corner, now we’re going to lose JCPennys. Little stores kind of just rotate out every few years. It a hella culture shock from being in the city to small rural living kinda. But the most biggest problem with the mall is there’s nothing for the kids to do, they just end up wreaking havoc when they come in and we got to watch a bunch of kids to see if they steal. They’re bored and need something to do, their parents mostly give them money, give them an arcade hah. Or even like a skate park. Fuck it. Just give the kids something to do!!! And also make a profit haha
Random rant heh
