  • The artist behind Obscurest Vinyl writes all his own lyrics, and at least for the time being, they’re choosing to bring their lyrics to life via AI. Though they have said that they’re an actual IRL musician as well and eventually plans to get more music equipment and something of a band together.

    I personally don’t see much of anything wrong with it, as long as they’re not trying to fool anyone or falsely represent the likeness of any particular real life artist, living or deceased.

    But hey, I get it, whatever floats your boat either way. If you don’t like AI content, nobody’s making you listen to or watch any of it.




  • My late father. He passed away July 21, 2014.

    Back in January that year, I came home from work, and he told me that he made some eggs and grits. But when he ate it, it was too hot, but his reflexes made him swallow it anyways. Which basically boiled his insides… ☹️

    He refused to let me call emergency services, hell he even told me that if I did so without his permission, he would shoot them, and yes he slept on a couch loaded with multiple guns under the couch cushions. He even threatened to kill me if I called emergency services without his permission.

    5 months in, I realized that daddy wasn’t gonna recover, as he was seeking cell phone signal the morning before I was about to head out to work. Daddy like never called anybody, so when I saw him seeking a good cell signal, I asked him if he wanted me to step out and call 911 myself.

    He said, and I quote, “Hold the fuck on, I’m getting ready”

    Needless to say, I missed work that day. I got him to the hospital, where he lived for another month or so, but passed away because he didn’t tend to his health back in January when the situation happened.

    I’d write out more about this, but it’s too sad for me to think more on.

    Damnit daddy, I coulda saved you, if you weren’t so stubborn!

    ☹️😭💀












  • While you’re effectively right in your comparison, you also must understand the difference between electronic data center cooling vs vehicle engine cooling.

    Vehicle engines run best at a higher temperature range than electronics, so they install a thermostat, to literally bring the engine temperature up to a suitable range for ideal performance. But the thermostat is not necessary (unless you live near cold polar regions and want heat).

    The thermostat can be safely removed from vehicles in more comfortable climates and the vehicle will run just fine, but just quite a bit cooler.

    So, take the concept of a closed loop cooling system, remove the thermostat from the equation, and you got a more viable closed loop system more suitable to keep electronics cool.
