Didn't realize Orphan Black had started back up, so watching season 3 on Amazon Prime. Also, what, I can't watch Game of Thrones on Amazon Prime? Dammit.

Porcupine Tree soundboard from 1999:

Yay on the DIY repair Nate. Sorry, Shelly, especially about the Zoe Keating concert -- this is her first tour since her husband passed away. You'll be fine...eventually. I was grieving once many years ago (over a relationship, not an actual loss of a loved one), and nearly ran someone over, and quickly came to my senses and learned my limitations (don't drive while crying, etc.) after that. Very cool, Chris -- beautiful day for it!

It really pops.

Such a great album, probably my favourite of theirs, definitely the one I've listened to the most. The Box is definitely my favourite track.

Nils Frahm & Dawn of MIDI (melodic experimental electronica -- short, appear to be incomplete, I would love to know what Nils is doing with those big things behind him, they're some sort of custom instrument -- I'm thinking pipe organ, but for all I know they're cajones...big cajones :/ ). EDIT: Looks like I came in towards the end, but otherwise it's a lot longer than 16:00. @ self.

Happy birthday, Brent! (carb-free party favour noise)

What a great actor.

I believe Willy is his first name and Nilly is his last name. It's one person. There might be a gay joke in there, too.

I have many fond memories of seeing them in the 70s. RIP Marques Haynes.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Dell Latitude here. I used the E6520 several years ago, and it kept going strong even when we threw virtual machines on it. I'd get whatever the current equivalent is. 16GB minimum. My MSI isn't very professional looking at all -- bright red, dragons, etc. I looked up the one you selected and it's probably fine. But I'd re-image the OS, which I will be doing on mine soon.

(makes a vaguely conciliatory "oh" gesture)

I didn't realize it was a drinking game.

Will check them out! And: hey!

Oh. 8^| Well alrighty then.

Ah -- yes that does make sense -- when I worked at SRI, I had my monitors flush with my Quad 12Ls, it was a pretty sweet setup.

Want. Want eleven-hundred-dollar briefcase. Want. No, seriously, I bet you're right.

No, I mean if he watches TV in the nearfield.

I think my metalhead friends will appreciate this -- when I saw the band name -- Leprous -- I just assumed death metal and moved on, but it's actuallly really great. https://soundcloud.com/officialinsideoutmusic/leprous-rewind Also: lots of clean singing. Which is telling.
