You've got "Warez" wrong, it's explicitly (and always has been) pirated software.

I don't disagree, but what entities funds and guide/influence them? They aren't organizations acting on their own, they are puppets.

This does not in any way downplay the travesties that Palestinian people have been through, only to highlight how Iran has used their influence to control one side of the conflict.

Do you have a "vices" budget? Maybe that's one approach. You both get $100 or whatever and she blows hers on mobile games, while you're cutting back and have money for other things.

remember that JWST doesn't do visible spectrum and, regardless, it's specialized for faint distant objects. From JWST's perspective, Titan emits a lot of light. It's kind of like using a telephoto lens to take a picture of your foot.

Yeah. I ran it in docker for years and it was such a hassle compared to HAOS. The switch to VM was best decision I made regarding HA.

Sorry, I didn't phrase that clearly. Sunn O))) was one of the best shows I've ever been to. GY!BE was terrible.

Sunn built up such an intensity and anticipation, and during the show they put a hell of a show. Fog covered the venue... they had vocalist Attila with them who was wearing a robe covered in mirror fragments and he had lasers on the end of each finger that he would bounce off the mirrors and into the crowd/fog. I've been to a few hundred shows and this light show alone would rank it up there, but the performance was something else too. It was the most intense and loud show ever (don't forget your hearos, lol), you could feel your skin and clothing vibrate. Supposedly the Brooklyn Masonic Temple has no noise ordinance to follow because they're grandfathered out of it, or something like that. It was loud.

With Godspeed You! Black Emperor I would have been better off if I stayed home and listened to low quality mp3. No stage presence, no engaging the crowd, nothing notable to say really. They sounded off and bored, like they were doing this because their family was held hostage. I don't know what I expected, but it was at least decent sound quality. This was not long after they got back together, so maybe that played into it.

I saw Sunn and Godspeed You Black Emperor at different times in the same venue (Brooklyn Masonic Temple) and they were both the best show and the worst show I've ever seen in my life, respectively. Walked out halfway through Godspeed, it was so bad. Anyway, Sunn O))) rocks
