It sounds like everything is working, so… whats the issue?

This is a medical device for a very select group of people. Not “tech bro”.

Sounds like dyshidrotic eczema aka dyshidrosis to me. I had that for years. I’d get slightly different effects depending on precisely what type of skin it was on… finger tips, sides of fingers, tops, palm, sides of hands… also it was on my toes a lot. I’d get tiny dots under the skin, sometimes in clusters, sometimes red bumps like pimples, and they’d burst and leave ‘dry skin’ and peeling. It could be itchy as hell and also made stuff like washing dishes hellish, like my hands were covered in papercuts. My hands at times itched like mad, to where I’d practically strip the skin off scratching them, and that would help for about 1.5 seconds. It would sometimes go away for a week or two and then come back, but was present 95% of the time.

It was misdiagnosed by PCPs as athlete’s foot several times, even when it was on my hands, which didn’t make much sense but doctors were “oh yeah! it can be on your hands!”. But my hands were quite dry. The prescription steroid/antifungal always cleared it up and it would go away for months, but OTC antifungal creams and sprays did nothing. Hmm.

Anyway, I finally figured out it def wasn’t athlete’s foot and saw a dermatologist. He said dyshidrosis immediately. I’d suggest to see a derma if possible. Anyway, if it is that, the treatment, other than temporary abatement from steroids, is figuring out what the trigger is. It’s a pretty common autoimmune condition with ‘unknown triggers’, which I interpret as meaning it’s different for various people. For me, it turned out to be gluten. I had to go GF for Celiac disease and my hand & foot skin issue cleared up entirely for the first time in 20 years.

He claims it isn’t true, but they did a $250k settlement with her. Hmmm.

Ah, they guy who tried to get Paypal to switch to running on Windows strikes again.

I use Gimp. There are versions for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Open the image. If it contains Exif rotation data, it will ask if you want to rotate it or leave it as-is. Choose to rotate it. It will also probably ask about transforming the color profile. Just say whatever to that as it’s not a huge difference.

Crop the image or do whatever, then choose “File > Export As”. You’ll get a filename dialog, where you can also specify the format in the extension of the filename, then “Export Image” dialog with a lot of options. Uncheck “Save Exif data” and “Save XMP data”, and click Export.

I think they made all of this with analog instruments. Good call on the tape loops though. That first link sounds reminiscent of much of their other work, which is more straightforward vocal ‘alternative’ sort of stuff. Thanks for the links!

Regular Broadcast is great, if you like that style of music (something like Stereolab, but more literary?). Microtronics is for sure mind expanding too. My fave is #17 because it’s just sort of insane.

I don’t necessarily believe that is accurate. Shutting down Trump’s vile minions spreading lies and bullshit is totally fine with me. Can you cite instances where ‘this’ has been used for ‘much more’ in a way that’s objectionable to a rational person?

It doesn’t transmit the data; it supposedly stores it locally. The issue is it’s a huge convenient plaintext trove of information if the system is compromised.

“Used against Trump”? Where is this shit, I want to downvote it

Reminds me Danielle Outlaw, who ran the police departments of several major cities.

It would just be awful if he picks someone like that, which is a possibility. Bongino or some other complete asshole from conservative media. For instance he said Laura Loomer would make a great WH Press Secretary.

I 100% agree and have observed that myself. Whenever it’s like “oh thank god Hastert is gone” or “phew, finally rid of Boehner” they manage to find someone even worse.

Also, good point that Trump gets too much credit. He didn’t create this bizarre Republican psyche - he’s simply a perfect embodiment of their behavior.

Ugh, I saw another link there, “rumored running mate Tom Cotton”. Whoever he picks, it will be one of the shittiest people possible.

Considering that Big Tech’s thing lately is “were going to fire 12,000 people and shunt their work onto other employees for no reason but to raise our stock price”, I’m a bit skeptical.

Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building

How does that make any sense? Why would his guards know anything he didn’t?

It’s the Deep State!!

Splendid. About time some of these conservative fucking psychos were forcibly told to just shut up with their constant hate and violent bullshit.

You mean like, how do you find one to marry, or what are best practices within a marriage to a zombie?
