As of late, I've gotten back into the hobbies of CD's and CD players. The modern age of streaming and requiring a monthly fee has gotten me fed up with the software drain. I have quite the mp3/flac collection and my car still uses CD so I started burning cd's once again. I already listened to the same tracks since I was a kid, it only made sense.


Thankfully, I still have access to some private trackers to fill in the gaps of my music collection. I still have several hundred gigabytes to burn to disc, so it's going to be a while before they're back to physical medium, but I already feel much lighter simplifying the basics again.


Equipment:

Hifiman Sundara Planar Headphones
iLIVE Anti-Skip CD Player
Eneloop Pro NiMH AA Batteries


I considered using a DAC, but this is mainly for indoor use so it doesn't seem worth the hassle. Works very well. 


It really takes me back to when I was in high school. I had a boombox, stereo system and cd player back in the day. Pride and joy honestly. Should've never let it go to be honest. It's not like it ever goes bad.

Alas, you only learn some things over time.



To be perfectly honest, if I care enough to take a picture of it on a polaroid, it was probably worth keeping. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. The stereo was worth infinite cd's and radio frequencies. 

The only thing I still have in that picture now is the turtle, the gamecube and a few of the gamecube games. 

At least I got a picture of it, lol.

One thing I find myself doing a lot is checking my own health markers. I try to stay on top of my own health, mainly due to a lack of health insurance, skepticism of doctors and my own curiosity regarding bodily health and function. To preface, I am a heavy user of cannabis. Specifically, extracts and oils. My main vice is THC-H, but also includes terpenes and other analogs of THC-9 which is deemed illegal beyond a certain threshold(Makes no sense because it's illogical) Cannabis, Marijuana, Ganja, Buddha, you name it, it's called many things. Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, Cannabis ruderalis[a] As an understudied medicine and plant(In terms of how it benefits people because big pharma are corrupt and morally bankrupt), I took it upon myself to measure my own usage and effects on me as an individual. Not systemically, but just playing it by ear and ball parking, because I can't be assed to do it formally. What I've noticed in my usage is my tolerance for anything has...

Severance Season 1

Just a one off piece about a series I watched recently, Severance, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. Some spoilers, so you've been warned.      In a rare mood, I strayed from my typical diet of youtube content and decided to watch a series. Recommended by a friend with some refined taste for cinema, I decided to watch Severance while I worked on other things.       The story revolves around the protagonist, Mark who is played by Adam Scott. A seemingly average office worker, Mark exemplifies the white collar man. The series starts out with a rather strange opening to explain, Severance, a form of employment by Lumon, a mega corporation who dabbles in a little bit of everything. Severance is a procedure done to employees employed by Lumon, which separate their work-life by manually splitting the individual by inserting a capsule into their brain, a procedure which can be done in less than an hour. After the procedure is done, the new employee i...
