#temporal displacement

[markgee85]

This final sample of Eric Souther's TD Colorizer .tox shows the effect of the temporal mapper with a low rez star sky rotation time lapse video being the displacement map.

Note, even those the last two samples are SD rez, the Colorizer can handle up to 4K 60hz processing input / output.

Planets Meeting

Face to Face

Bound to the Air

of Light

How Sweet ~

If Purposely

We Might Embrace

A Perfect Union

Deep In Space

If Ever Might This

Once Relent

and Give us Leave

to Shine as One

our two lights here

forever one light

b l e n d e d

and in that

longing

to be won

the parting sons

shine as one

i see you've got to

travel on

and on and on

around the sun

o O o

Strangers Passing

in the street

by chance

Two Separate Glances

Meet

and I am You

and what I see

is Me

And do

I take you

by the hand?

And lead you

to the land?

And help me understand

the best I can?

and No One

calls us

to Move On

and no one

forces

down our eyes

and No One

Speaks

and No One

Tries

and No One

Flies

Around the Sun

every day you fall

upon my

Waking Eyes

Inviting and

Inciting Me

to Rise ~

and through

the window

in the wall

come streaming in

on Sunlight Wings

A Million Bright

Ambassadors

of Morning

and No One sings

me lullabies

and no one makes me

close my eyes

So I throw

the windows wide

and Call to You

Across the Sky ~

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the filing number for tmagp 3 is CAT2C8175 - 03042009 - 22012024, which according to my understanding means it was originally filed on the 3rd April 2009

However the diary entry is from 07-12-09, so the 7th December 2009, meaning the events would have taken place AFTER the case was filed

Wtf does it all mean, somone who's better at theorizing please explain

im in a punk group for mostly boomers in the late 70s scene (hence the name) for ethnographic purposes but i absolutely love how consistent the punk infighting over green day is between generations

love it here

Language Goals 2024

Another year, another set of goals! This year, in the actual spirit of my very reasonable 2022 language goals, here are my plans for language study.

Catalan

First and foremost, my goal is to find Catalan friends in my new hometown, because I really need to speak Catalan with people at minimum once a week or I get very sad, and currently I’m not speaking it with anyone at all. This goal is pretty chill though—I just have to actually sit down and put in the time to find people.

My main goal is to read 30 books in Catalan. I’ll make a proper post about it with a list of books that I’m thinking of and how the challenge itself is going to work, but overall I’m trying to pick a mix of styles and genres, so expect anything from medieval literature to YA novels to academic texts. I have a lot of books that I’ve been meaning to read for a while, so hopefully this will give me a chance to chip into some of them. 30 books is less than other versions of this challenge that I’ve seen, but it’s also many more books than I’ve read in Catalan possibly ever and I think it’s more reasonable in conjunction with a full class load. Hopefully it ends up being just the right amount!

Welsh & Basque

This year I really want to work hard to actually get these two to an upper intermediate level, because I’m so close if I put in the work. For both of them, I have two main goals: (1) go through the textbooks/workbooks that I started going through casually last semester (Basic Welsh: A Grammar and Workbook by Gareth King and Standard Basque: A Progressive Grammar by Rudolf P.G. de Rijk) so that I can continue to review and learn new grammatical structures, and (2) watch one episode of a TV series each week in each language. For the TV series, I’m going to be watching Rownd a Rownd on S4C (which is available outside Wales/the UK! Huge win!) and Eskamak kentzen on EITB. If I have time, I’ll try to go through episodes more thoroughly and note down new vocabulary and such, but the main goal is to make a routine of it and watch consistently so I’m trying to keep it simple. I’d also like to use both languages with other people more often if I can, but I think finding a consistent language partner will perhaps be a goal for another year.

Malayalam

I’m planning to focus the first half of the year on Welsh and Basque, and then next fall, I’m hoping to be able to take the Malayalam classes offered by my university and to get into studying my home dialect (or rather, my extended family’s home dialect, since I didn’t speak it at home) as well. Since this will be later and also classroom learning rather than self-study, I’m not going to go into details, but overall, after my trip to Kerala (which I have stuff about, it’s on the docket!), I’m generally feeling much less alienated and much more motivated to study the language. I’m also looking forward to being able to take real classes, which I think will help keep me focused and on track.

Russian

This is a minor goal, but at my friend’s house over the summer, her mom was joking that if they just spoke to me in Russian while I stayed at their house, I’d probably be able to understand it by the end. That led us to concoct a plan where I study a bit of Russian vocab, then go there and do intensive Russian immersion for a weekend or so. This is more of a silly goal, but I’d like to try it because I think it could be fun.

Anki

This isn’t a language goal per se, but rather a general resolution to spend this year learning to use (and tweaking and configuring) Anki. Anki has a notoriously high barrier to entry, and from everything I’ve seen it should be treated as a long-term, intensive project—I’ll hopefully reap the rewards later if I take my time and set up everything right in the early stages. With that in mind, I’m hoping that by the end of the year I’ve figure out a set up for my decks and cards that really works for getting me to remember and be able to use vocab and grammar. I’ll focus on the languages here for the start, but I’m hoping that with habit and time, if I get a good system going I can use it with other languages too.

And that’s it! It’s been a bit since I was systematic about studying languages, but I’ve found that I really miss it and want to go back. I feel like I’m at a really good place with all of these, and I’d like to continue to make progress, so I’m really trying to focus on consistency and hitting the sweet spot of just challenging enough to get myself out of my comfort zone while not burning out. Hopefully I’ve set this up in a way to build habits and make me excited to keep immersing myself with these languages in the coming years, which is really the key to learning any language in the long term—I've realized that I speak Catalan so well because it's fully integrated into my life, and I'd like all these others to be as well. Here’s to a good 2024, and I wish all of you luck with your own goals as well!

I'm reading Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising Sequence for the first time in my life (I was aware of it as a kid but never got around to trying it, probably for the best bc tween me would have made it her entire personality in the WORST way), and now that i'm most of the way thru the series (book 4 of 5), ALL I want. is for Will Stanton and Gansey to somehow end up in the same room.

never getting over how it turns out that getting to mike, that was the key

'Another one...' This was the fourth one the relic had come across who knew little to nothing about where they came from. What happened for them to become so removed from their roots? Crimson eyes would narrow in the others direction. Observing the younger's demeanor, apperance, and watching the opposing expression closely as Cumber spoke.

"Hmph...Saiyans are not complicated. Acts of the flesh are our instinct. Fighting, devouring our fill to the bone itself, and allowing our desires to impart onto others as you have... we are aligned by no morals other than the ones we decide are worth our effort."

As for the latter.. he was no stranger to the matter Kakarot spoke of. Sins of the flesh, even in his own time they seemed simpler to abide by. His history of what would be called 'one night stands' was colorful to say the least.

"...I've done more than witness others in the thralls of conquest and copulations. Allowing flesh and impulse to be your guide is freeing. Sharing it with another.. it can be a transcendent experience."

I'm always like "haha it's so wild how obsessed I became with he xuan" but idk why I think that when I'm obsessed with ghosts ghouls and dead people always. remember when I was 14 and writing voluminous amounts of fanfiction about nico di angelo

"Perhaps I should volunteer to watch over Niashka for her brother... To take the stress off him and give him ample time to do as he likes for a while. She would have to stay in the Abyss for a time though, but I should be able to return her to the correct time when required. Or around it."

if lost had more than like 2 well written female characters it would be my favourite thing ever

[vaultsixtynine]

not-moya has gone through Yet Another Major Change but i think this is the last fundamental shift of her character, because i've abandoned a lot of the early themeing concepts for what she always should've been: a shithead of a very good spy who's Been Through It and is still in the middle of actively deprogramming herself when the audience meets her (and then wyn and seven shortly after that). still needs a rename though, and i'm loathe to re-use 'charade' (perhaps as a callname from ye olden days only)
