I really need to start taking care of myself. I've been living like I'm sixteen for thirty years now. I don't know how long before the wheels just start falling off.

cw: video discusses suicide
This is a Cult (and I'm tired of pretending it's not)

Sound Speed in Bourbon
Listen to this episode from Across Acoustics on Spotify. Does sound travel differently in Kentucky bourbon than it does in other types of alcohol? Stanley A. Cheyne of Hamden-Sydney College pondered this question before the 177th ASA meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Twenty or so types of whiskey later, he’d made some interesting discoveries, both about whiskey and about how distilleries measure alcohol concentration. This episode we interview him about his resulting article in Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, “Sound speed measurements in ethanol/water solutions and Kentucky bourbon whiskey.” Associated paper: Cheyne, Stanley A. “Sound speed measurements in ethanol/water solutions and Kentucky bourbon whiskey,” Proc. Mtgs. Acoust. 36, 045008 (2019); https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001396. Read more from Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA).Learn more about Acoustical Society of America Publications.

"People just don't get my sense of humour."
In my experience, people who say this, this is the funniest thing they've ever said.
Just got a "ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube" pop up and the video was disabled. It went away with a refresh, but I'm happy to know I'll be getting back the time I currently sacrifice to YouTube soon.

Working through some new music. Hear a song and think, 'oh, this is fucking good. who is this?'
Check the track. David Penn.
Yeah. That tracks.
Mexico decriminalizes abortion.
Nice. Good job, Mexico. If Mexico and Canada can keep being anti-US when the US keeps fucking up, I think we'll largely be ok.
I'm not super confident about my fellow Canadians being cool, but we'll see what happens. I think we're on the tail end of FAFO with Trudeau being enough of a fucking disappointment that we're going to end up with Poilievre, but I'll deal with that nightmare when it manifests at my door.
"I'll fuckin' do it again!" kills me every time.
