That’s arthriticist
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Muse - Starlight[^]
A loyal SOTW follower is going to be very happy about this one (judging from his username)
Spotify notified me about a new Muse single so I thought I'd check it out.
I listened to their Black Holes & Revelations album a lot in the past, although I thought it was from around 2012 and their last (it's from 2006 and there are a couple of more albums after that).
My bad, I've probably listened to it in 2006 as well and I actually know some songs from the album that followed in 2009
Anyway, needless to say I haven't been listening to them a whole lot this past decade.
The new work didn't convince me, but I did put on this album again.
It's just their best album and Starlight is one of their best songs, if not their best!
So SOTW

Nice.
I saw your link to the The Cardigans - My Favourite Game during the week. Always get a chuckle at the end of the video.

Been listening to some more Cardigans since then.
It's one of those bands you forget, but when you hear them you still know the lyrics

Thanks for the mention, although I must admit this is a mid-tier track for me. I feel I have just slowly gone off it over the years. However, I am definitely happy to see Muse getting some love
I think there are some decent songs on the new album, certainly a step up from Simulation Theory. Although I do see a lot of the older fans not liking the newer stuff. I feel they have almost become a completely different band since when they first started, so it makes sense in that regard.
They do have a habit of winning people over with their live performances though. It's funny how hearing a song live can suddenly make you enjoy it more than you did before. I think Muse do that very well, as opposed to some bands I find can have the opposite effect when you hear them live.

Yep,
I like the things you post (and your YouTube videos), so I'd like to see you post more here on the forum.

That is nice to hear, Randor. Since the last time, I've opened up what our ancestors meant with the 'three paths' of Anu, Enlil, and Ea, on Astrolabe B. That shines a new light on what Nibiru was (although I was on the right track before figuring out the paths). Now I'm finishing up the editing process on the book with this info in it, then I'll try to put together another video. So I've been a little too busy to do any programming, although I wanted to take a stab at reworking Blender, but VS still has an issue that makes me hesitate. And there is no money at the moment, either, so it will have to wait.
Hope all's well!

PS - and by understanding the greater historic swing from polytheism to monotheism, as illuminated by other scholarship and including the Samson astronomy, we can finally say with certainty that the Moses tale came into its current monotheistic form after 580 BC, as a response to the Babylonian Exile. It was probably crafted from the other Moses personalities of those times, although there may have been a Moses figure in Israelite history at the 'hub of the wheel.' My last question has finally been answered.

For a moment I thought they sampled Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)[^].
I don't think it's a sample, but it sounds exactly the same.

Very nice tracks, must listen to more AronChupa!
Somehow I never did after Albatraoz.

Nobody here is dumb; you're all a bunch of damned geniuses. So I want to pose a question to you all that is entirely outside of your field of expertise. I'm told that this sort of exercise helps to maintain one's mental acuity, so I'm probably helping you to keep your jobs. In a nutshell (or ballsock, if Michael Martin is tuning in), I've got a bit of a mystery going on at my house. I'm swapping out an old water heater, and I have the entire thing disconnected and out of the house. Yet, when I open a hot water tap any place in the house, I get a surge of water flow, then a slow trickle of water. So far as I know, the hot water side of the circuit gets its pressure from the hot side outlet of the water heater. That line is disconnected and capped. Additionally, the hot line is also capped. Where does this unexpected pressure/flow originate? The mind boggles...
Will Rogers never met me.

Treat it like a code bug: gather information.
What temperature is the water? How does that compare to the cold supply?
How long does it take to "build up pressure" again?
Does the pressure in the line seem the same upstairs and downstairs?
Not saying I know what the problem is (the US approach to water / house heating is different to UK) but debugging is debugging ...

I suspect anywhere is different to the UK when it comes to plumbing.

Even the UK is different.
