Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

The lead singer has such a distinctive voice.

I accidentally saw them live at a bar in Memphis. I had never heard of them or any of their songs. I don't remember how good the show was, but I definitely remember it being very high energy.

I've never done it, but it's something I've seen people do to the heat spreader on the CPU. And yes it would just be mechanical sanding and polishing with paper and paste.

The aluminum has a rough looking finish. You could try giving it a mirror polish. Have you tried changing the thermal paste?

The economics, logistics, and ecological impacts of these huge tours are insane.

While I do work for a giant, soulless corporation that definitely exploits people, the product I work on is actually useful to don't marginalized people.

So I'm not contributing to the enshittification of the Internet.

It's a game that bounces off of some people, and that's kinda sad.

I had so many goosebump-inducing moments of having my mind blown by the game. And the soundtrack and sounds do such a great job adding to the ambience.

Notably not a trans woman sexually harassing these girls.

If you ever get to go back to that area, just continue on down the road about 15 minutes to Manzanillo. The first restaurant as you get into town are room by my good friends. The Cool and Calm. Andy is usually out front grilling meats and blasting reggae.

Having spent some time there, there are exceptions. We stayed in the Limon province, which from my understanding is the poorest. The town we were in was insanely safe. My wife could walk around alone after dark with no issues. But just 15 minutes away was Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. It's a party town with lots of drug activity. We heard reports of women being harassed and raped and that even groups of women weren't safe.

I don't know how much of that was true. I never looked into it. It was just rumors from the locals, but I trust them.

And from what I can tell, that's definitely not normal for Costa Rica.
