If you played Zelda as a kid, Sweden can feel like you are living in the game and Stockholm feels like Hyrule.

I bought the NRSV Bible as recommended and a few pages into Genesis I'm surprised how short these famous stories are. Is this all that's mentioned of Adam and Eve etc?

Also in Genesis God says things like "Let Us make humans in Our image" suggesting that God has peers during the creation process, what's up with that?

Should I read another version first before this cartoon translation?

Will this even give me the full story of Beowulf or is it a total perversion of the original text?

I will read it regardless now that I own it.

Hi, does anyone know of any cool shops in the city that sells rugged backpacks made of high quality materials in the style of Filson?

​

Most of what I can find seems to be polyester and I'm looking for things like canvas and leather.

I've been reading the Divine Comedy and have realized that I need to The Bible first so I am thinking of getting the NRSV Bible.

​

My question is, besides the bible, how far do I go back? What other books are essential reading to understand other classic books?

​

I plan to read Homer, and I have a few Grimoires I want to read, but is there a list or path of books to read in succession that will give me a crash course in literature?

Putting my own little package together, how does this look?

​

DDF484z Drill

DTD153z Impact

DJV181z Jig

DHS680z Circ

​

Will this lineup be acceptable for professional use?

Hi,

​

I have two requests

​

1. Help my find a film - I saw a trailer sometime in the last 5-10 years for a horror film that had an investigation style and was about either an audio tape(s) or videotape(s). It had a similar vibe to longlegs I think but I barely remember. Maybe there was a subway train scene in the trailer?

​

2. I looking for horror films to watch that are scary, involve detectives or investigations, have a serious tone, could be about the occult, or anything gritty and dark.

I'm getting conflicting information. A person I trust is saying that unclipping a live electrode is bad because then the arc ends up between the handle and the electrode which burns the handle. All over youtube people suggest unclipping when stuck.

So what is the official position? So far I have not been powering down before unclipping stuck rods but I want to do what is most professional.

So I'm in the process of deconstructing my smart phone back into individual devices that fit into a backpack so I can get off of this social media hamster wheel when I'm out of the house.

I mention this because maybe someone here knows of a subreddit about this?

For example in my backpack I will have a notepad, camera, music player w voice recorder (walkman cassette?) address book, mapbook, calculator, cell phone with only calls and text. I want the internet to be an at home thing again.

An important piece is my music player.

I'd like something I can use on guitar, bass, and synth. I see a good deal on the Endorphin.es Golden Master, how is that one?

What are some cool options in different price ranges? I think something like Chase Bliss' compressor is at the top of my price range fyi

Careful out there this summer, everyone is distracted these days.

They have ads on the windows, the audacity of that is insane. God forbid you look up from your digital advertising k-hole machine for a second to have a human thought, no you must be bombarded with even more ads on every conceivable surface of the vehicle YOU PAY to be on.

Nevermind the ads you are confronted by from the moment you step into the station, all the way down the escalators, and all over the walls of the station.

When did this all happen? When did advertising replace architecture?

They want us to quit driving cars, but in the car I'm not on my phone and there's no ads. It's a peaceful opportunity to reflect. Why when we do the thing that's best for us environmentally, we get punished. And don't think for a second it's not a punishment because it is.

Marketing works, that's why companies pay for it. All those ads in the public transit system are paying off otherwise they wouldn't be there. Those ads are convincing enough people to buy shit they don't need, likely poorly made garbage, that likely negates any environmental benefit taking the train over the car was going to provide.

I think we deserve ad free public spaces, for us, for the children, for mental health writ large. There are other futures we can imagine. One where art, architecture rule, and advertisers drool.

If there are any initiatives in stockholm addressing this massive issue, please let me know.

I just ordered the HSS and I'm wondering what splitting the H entails? What parts would I need?

Also, when it is split will it sound exactly like an SSS strat or different?
