What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?

The most recent one that comes to my mind is HEADACHE - The head hurts but the heart knows the truth

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

Plants / gardening: you can multiply plants and get seeds for little or no cost.

Same here, one other improvement I would recommend is remapping the Netflix button to something less annoying/more useful in case you press it accidentally. If you have Hue lights, you could make it toggle your lights with this app for example.

Those ads are probably displayed by google's launcher, you can easily disable it from adb and use any other launcher you like. I personally use FLauncher, I love how simple it is, I don't need anything else

Games with characters you miss most after completion.

It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away....

I'm gonna get them fermented, then make some hot sauce.
Here's the recipe I use. Last time I did a batch, I used rice vinegar instead of wine vinegar.

Yes, it tastes sweeter and less like vinegar. It leaves more space for the taste of the other ingredients in my opinion. But maybe you should try both and see which one you like best.

I'm from France, your scotch bonnet theory actually makes a lot of sense. It seems to be the variety grown in the Caribbean (where some french territories are) while habaneros are mostly found in Mexico. Thank you for your comment.

We had a pretty dry year again thanks to global warming... They were growing in pots on the balcony so I had to water them a lot

I read about scotch bonnets & habanero, both have sub varieties and some of them seem very similar. I still don't know for sure which one it is. Do you have pictures you could share ?

Thanks, tell me what you think if you try both

What type of YouTube videos have high replay value and are worth downloading?

Seeing how there are official and unofficial options to download videos from YouTube, I wondered why downloading of videos was endorsed in the first place, I have downloaded videos in the past, but it was due to some project work. I haven’t really downloaded a video for entertainment, education or any personal reason at all. I...

Probably tracking, Spotify urls have included this for a while now.
The value seems to be different every time you share something so it must include a timestamp.
I always remove this part of urls before sharing them because they could potentially help identify you on any other website where you paste it.

I love the games and experiments at neal.fun (you probably heard about the password game recently)

Protest Songs: why do I feel like there were many more (and many more that were popular) in the 60’s and 70’s?

I’m a guy approaching 60, so I’ll start by saying my perception may be wrong. That could be because the protest songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s weren’t the songs I heard live on the radio but because they were the successful ones that got replayed. More likely, it’s because music is much more fractured than...

Sounds like Refused

Their parent were hot (and delicious). Thank you for your comment. What are the things to look for when they get ripe? The ones I bought were the same shape, were about 6cm long, some green, some yellow, some bright orange and some bright red.

I have the NR200 too, would you recommend the additional bottom fans? Did you notice gpu temp/noise improvement?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I already undervolted my GPU a bit and played with the fan curve but the FE can get LOUD.
