Nicholas Cage stars in a hard boiled noir about a detective who can perform autofellatio. Played completely straight.

Watching beef prices rising like some kind of memecoin, its just insane. I know mass cattle farming is terrible and we should eat less. But this was kinda the last straw. Just cant justify the cost anymore.

Edit it was 90/10 from safeway

I have been using Logic for many years. And in that whole time, I’ve never really used or explored the project browser. First, is that weird? Have I been using logic “wrong” or missing out on very powerful capabilities?

Second, how do you use the browser? What is it doing for you? How does it improve your workflow?

Thanks so much!

First, the less interesting problem. The Hive is simultaneously expending enormous resources to assimilate Carol, while also swearing up and down that they won't do anything to harm her, while also fairly quickly engineering their own extinction via starvation. It seems paradoxical that they are effectively incapable of intentionally causing harm while also working overtime to sentence Carol to a very likely death.

Second the more interesting question: What does the hive want from life? Beyond propagating itself and assimilating Carol? The show briefly had Zosia encouraging Carol to start writing again. I understand that we were ultimately supposed to understand that being purely a distraction so that Carol wouldn't think too hard about their efforts to assimilate her. But at the time it made me realize that reading something Carol wrote would literally be the only way that the hive mind could have a novel, unexpected cultural experience. It would be one thing if the hive was portrayed as having a Borg-like disinterest in all hedonistic or social experiences. But the show seems to want us to believe that it's not all just a performance — that the hive mind can experience pleasure, find jokes funny, and be more or less interested in events and ideas.

What does it do all day after Carol is one of them and after it successfully propagates itself to the stars? Just feed and stare at rocks all day? It's never going to get to read a book it doesn't already know about, see a painting it hasn't already seen, have a conversation with anyone, sing a song it doesn't already know, etc.

When the plotline with Carol maybe writing again started, I thought that we might see the hive encouraging Carol to write because it had started to realize that it needed Carol for novelty and stimulation. But the show never grabbed onto that idea, so I am a little mystified.

I just need advice about something I am way overthinking.

I have a couple of big drawers filled with drum junk. Just lots of bass drum lugs and lightly used heads; spare parts for pedals that I don’t own anymore and tom arms for kits that I don’t own anymore. Stands in various stages of completeness/use-ability. Some of the items are for sure in the category of “another man’s treasure” but I don’t need any of it and I have to get rid of it.

Should I just throw it all away? It seems like such a waste. I hate to trash perfectly good equipment. A few things are still in their original packaging.

But there’s no way I’m going to the trouble of finding takers for each item individually. I’ve thought about donating it all to a school music program but I can’t imagine that anyone wants to get loaded up with a bunch of crap when at best they might find a use for one or two of the items.

I live in NYC btw so I can’t just put it all in a box in the garage. It’s gotta go. Just trash it right?
