21·15 days ago…well he’s not…
“Hold you your hand, Frodo. It’s quite cool.”
- Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring
…hillbilly goth = sixteen horsepower…
…or, you know, old gods of appalachia…
…i get why it’s funny (the donner party infamously resorted to cannibalism) but i don’t get how it’s ironic…
…the elise’s 2ZZ-GE is nearly as highly-strung as the F20 (splits the difference from the F20C at 8500 RPM) but it’s also 10% less displacement, which may make the most difference in fuel economy compared to pushing 40% more weight in the S2000…
…i wish my mazdas revved so high!..
…i’m surprised to read that; my elise and MX-5s all get around thirty miles per gallon on the street, it’s only on tracks where fuel economy drops precipitously…
…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…
3·2 months ago…i bought a mazda 2 ten years ago and it was fantastically practical, agile, efficient, and affordable; came time for a new car and they’d replaced it with a f*cking SUV…
2·2 months ago…i don’t know that i shouldn’t’ve seen it, but the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers was my introduction to existential horror at the ripe age of seven years…
…what shouldn’t i have seen?..about a year earlier, a family friend handed-down a big brown grocery bag stacked to the rim with pre-code EC horror comics: that was some teeth-gnashingly gruesome stuff…
…we have a couple of industrial fans but the sound’s not quite right by comparison to cross-flow impellers…
…at some level i secretly suspect that sleeping under omnipresent white noise has only made my tinnitus worse over time, but that could also be a natural consequence of my ears aging-out…
(could also come from driving a convertible at speed while blasting music on a three-hour commute every day, if i’m honest)
…dark mode text while lying in repose on my side usually does the trick for me, but then i wake up later with a drained ipad propped against the wall…
…white noise drowns out the ringing in my ears and calms the voices in my head…
…my fan broke earlier this year; i’m shopping for a mechanical white-noise generator…
…when our central air conditioner failed during this summer’s hundred-degree spell, i installed a temporary window-box unit and sleeping was BLISS: tinnitus gang needs fans…
…when i’ve designed these we’ve installed safety gates inside the door…
…not entirely sure; possibly a proxy for snapping in real life?..
…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys…
