Random Thoughts

Oh it's deleted, my missus didn't want her to share it with her friends  but it's nature I said

No worries 
I was joking anyway

Does anyone else here overthink completely random shit and wonder how the fuck it works?
I just watched a video where they were pressing vinyl. Just looked like a blob of plastic being pressed into shape. So far, so so. And then I'm thinking, how the absolute fuck do they get the sound onto that material and then get it to come out through speakers? I'm absolutely flummoxed here, and this is old technology. Sometimes I wish I had more of a 'scientific' brain, so I could at least have an understanding of the basic principles underlying this stuff.
Definitely yes, I'm overthinking stuff here. Just switched broadband provider the other day, everything transitioned perfectly well for the first day when the new modem arrived, now nothing works at all. I thought I was reasonably tech savvy but that's obviously now not the case and the ocd part of me can't get over that completely inessential shit, like the Nintendo Switch and Ring doorbell, wont work. Do we all need a big reset? Back to books in the evening by candlelight? Thoughts please

I was watching a video on how they make RAM and other bits on computers, the amount of shit that goes into it, and the they way materials have to interact...it's modern alchemy. I find it fascinating even if most of it goes completely over my head

The How it Works show that was on one of the Discovery channels decades ago was great for brief overviews about stuff you had and had never wondered about.

Maybe the people with the "One Hit Wonders" were the ones that refused to sell their souls.
