To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

-D1-

will be back soon...

it's not my clip, i stumbled over it.

was off for "holidays" (not really), blues 'n jazz rapperswil (popa chubby, nigel kennedy a.m.m), 2 times aoxotoxoa, stayed in wattwil (still no web) and finally some recreation browsing weird stuff on youtube.

i guess it's war (lowrider) but maybe zz top did as well?

[media]

i'm working on a ufo sighting spoof right now, has inspired me that guy, first clip was the babbling baby (alien crossbreed), in the beginning i thought yet another... ahh you know what. but then i noticed he's making a fun out of it. funny how many people have no sense of humor and commented "bah, Fake" <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//haha.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' /> to his clip. check out also "if video games where real".

besides you got a idea how much stupid people live on our earth, i really had no idea... must have been to long busy with my models, it's rediculous.

especially all the "conspiracy" stuff let's me think... i soon post a excerpt of such a weird thing, it's a simulation of a plane crashing to a building (should explain why 9/11 was faked) i really thought my eyes betray me.

man this stuff let's me think...

i should take the opportunity which is given to me.my landlord owns a garage, he's a rather old man and fixes only oldtimers (he said he can't fix the new ones), the rest you can imagine yourself...

i really need a kick in my ass, i'm payed by welfare, so why i don't go and help him a little for free, it would be only good.there aren't so many people where you can learn this (he,he, i impressed him that i knew the difference between suction and a compressor, while i don't have a driving licence, lol).

but as always i have so many opportunities that i don't know which to pick,on the other hand i decided to educate myself in desktop publishing (i have some locked spare money for this), not the best thing to do, but will fit to my talents.

there is also the idea to move to india and learn stamp printing, resp. to craft the wooden stamps, even this is rare, fits to my original education as a textile printer and was the original craftsmenship in my home county. i always loved the old original designs, the paisley, further it fits to my few years i worked as a carpenter (solid wood only).

there is a fourth, a little vague one, i know i have a exclusive music choice and good knowledge about past music, i was told by several people when they heared my music, that some would pay money only to listen to that, while i play my "gettoblaster" for free on the lakeside (actually also a rare one, some old sony shock and water resistant speakers from '93, many handy shots have been taken of them, many players have passed this speakers from walkmans over cd players to mp3 players. you can't get such quality now, they last very long even when the power consumption is rather high, needs 2x12volts/2ampere to run them with a powersupply, but nonetheless the batteries last longer as for most other, i play them a whole summer, or about 80hrs with one charge, depends of course on loudness, i-phone and modern music is a killer, very loud, to much bass, especially dynamic compressed* music, that costs a lot "fuel").

you see, many opportunities and i still don't know where to go... <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//drag.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':drag:' />

---

* "dynamic boosted" is also a compression, it's only the wrong term, it's even a sort of limiter you use for this, 0dB are 0dB if you know what i mean by that.

---

a "glarner" towel

i must have printed 1000nds of meter of them, but most in classic blue and red.

that's why i'm crazy for the red white and blue... <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//man_in_love.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':maninlove:' />

Gernot, I know what you're going, think no more. You get out of the fog. India is a good option, but you must do it now!

yeah, once upon a time... what a great poster.

walterar, you must have watched the "kleinkinder statik experiment", or do you mean that as a parabel, stop getting undecided, well both is true.

both are major flaws of mine, i can't remember how long...

but hey, even a flaw has a good side, to be always undecided leaves a lot of understanding for everything or every point of view, no?

while ok, biting nails as a manner has no good side... self-laceration maybe, if that's good for anything.

ok, i "bookmarked" that.

last autumn i started a attempt in stopping it, nearly successful, but i miss the guide of my physiotherapist now.

really i do miss that, she gave me a lot of backing up, not only massages. "unfortunately" my arms nerve started to get back alive and so we departed.

ah, after all little flaws, if i think of all the nasty things going on in this world,

brother killing brother and such shit...

i would give both hands for, if this would stop! (arghh, gernot don't make promises)

According but doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not very smart. Hurts, I know it hurts. Growing pains. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//black_eye.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blackeye:' />

walterar, this sentence confuses me a bit.

doing the same and expecting a different result?

it would be crazy yes.

but before i post here anythig "wrong", you could explain that a little further to me.

i have a idea, what you mean by that, but with this i could fill easy 300 pages and we didn't get further a tiny bit.

that's why i prefere painting instead writing, i feel i can tell much more in one picture as in a book.

you can avoid the "don't do this" manner, you leave it up to the spectator.

@vuzz,

i thought i must know the artist of "stoned agin", how could i have forgot? robert crumb

i found a flipbook of that and no surprise it's from france.

i will put the hand colored full version together (i found only a russian commented of the full "movie") with the one commented in charming french accent back into one.

ahh, i owned this one to, it's now in the collection of my ex wife...

there was a time i had them doubled, as vinyl and CD.

unfortunately i did back in the 90's the big mistake to sell or often i gave my doubled vinyls for free to my friends.

such great records as "cheap thrills", "rolling thunder", "jerry garcia", "wake of the flood", "the grateful dead", "american beauty" (first release!), "aoxotoxoa" and i don't know what else. some pink floyd (a nice pair was one of my first records i owned apart from all the rock 'n roll and rockabilly stuff, i miss also "More" (the album) or obscured by clouds, some of the who (i really miss quadrophenia with the booklet, but i can't say what happened to this one, in this time people was going in and out my flat like in a warehouse... i also collected some fine cartoons, like "coonskin", "heavy traffic", or one of a belgian artist "picha", "le big bang", they was "must see" for my friends and usually you don't see such at TV, at least not in switzerland), complete sets of beatles LP's and EP's (box re-releases, as a "beatles fan", as far as one could say such born in 1966, i had to have the ep's only because of a few rare tracks, <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> ). i also exchanged a version of "blues for allah", with the cover art printed on the CD, with a "common" release. as far as i remember it was, this guy wanted to have it because of the arab lyrics translation in the booklet.

i guess many have made this mistake, thinking a CD offers more quality...

friends here's "le big bang", (english version), i found it after i remembered the guys name.

[media]

unfortunately it's split (like often) to 8 parts, but it's worth the fun.

@ geraldine, it turns into a weird, "music - sci-fi - cartoon - freaked out - geek stuff" thread.

now definately back to sci-fi with the promised classic...

le voyage dans la Lune by Georges Méliès 1902

watch out for the beating arguments of the professor.

forgive me the rather low quality, i guess it losts some magic due to converting, but i liked the colorized version to have the cute score of another b&w one.

a lot of myths on this site <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//scenic.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':scenic:' /> you linked. well ok, let's look at some real cheesy stuff.

there is a second myth "el secreto del diabolo" which has forced me to see if that's quite true what's written about the "Schotte" ,"suero" or "whey".

because i know they had a use for it and it would be stupid to waste anything for people that haven't much.

i knew it and i'm right.

they use it to make a not good looking simple meal, it's called "Fänz" or "Fenz" depending on the region. it's made of butter, flour and whey (newer recipes use Milk, but that's luxury) which you all cook together slowly. our dairymen was rather poor fellows. they also used to say that if you don't do it well, you can use it to fix a roof, it turns to plaster. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_biggrin.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

the named "curd cheese" is called "Ziger" and a typical cheese from "Glarus", it contains different herbs, smells like old socks (a reason why we call even old skin ziger to say it harmless) and is hard as a rock. not everybodys taste.

a factory for "Ziger" was 100m to the house where i grew up (Mollis). the herbs for the "Ziger" are from a different region, most of them grow in "Toggenburg" (where i live now) and "Appenzell".

in newer days, or to say it right, since a decade or so they make even a energy drink of whey. whey contains a lot of sugar (lactose) and some left eggwhite of the milk.

they dehydrate the whey, mix it with chocolate, strawberry, banana powder or similar, later water will be added and it's called now "Energy Milk". <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//good.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />

gernot As a child, spent much time in my school holidays in the field of my family. There he learned to milk cows, ride, and castrate bulls. I knew that our cheese factories using the serum for pig feed, but surely must be good for humans too. I will comment on your formula and surely we will see in the supermarket shelves. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//preved.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':preved:' />
