this is called spirit level. normally it's 8 dollars. but this is a expensive version for audiophiles. you need this for the levelness of your turntable.

@mattskala

@mattskala
thanks.
minor correction of my error. the party is arabian nights, but he's not necessarily Alladin... for what's worth.

am gonna try harder on totally ignoring all possible psy/harmful effect on me, instead use it such that it benefits me and harms twitter.

@mattskala just realized the photo is black n white. So, perhaps that adds more weight for the brownface. i just never heard of that phrase before. and i thought, media will typically max clickbait, seems blackface is more dramatic and well understood.

@mattskala that still doesn't make much sense... he's dressed as Alladin. Alladin i don't think have a clear ethnicity in the story, but prob right to say either Persian or some other middle east or even Chinese (as that's the story), while he's got a pitch dark black facepaint.
before this, i didn't know there's a word brownface. Who's actually considered brown? white black redskin yellow. haven't heard of brown. thought it's a new sjw word to avoid 'black'.

@mattskala i see. Thanks!

Richard Stallman Speech Requirement (2011)
http://ergoemacs.org/misc/rms_speech_requirement.html
6993 words. Gets more and more nutty near the bottom.

another interesting thing is that i find very few people defending rms, unexpectedly from what i know of fsf fanatics n emacs diehards since 1998. i think most do not dare to say things.

am looking into whether rms resign from fsf is forced. still undecided. my guess is likely, but perhaps with undisclosed benefits. note, this is really a heavy issue. it's not just sjw. billion $ n its people r involved.

The Scarlet Letter: A Romance

the other question unanswered is whether Richard Stallman will keep participating in emacs dev mailing list.

with rms stepping down, i think FSF is effectively dead. I actually worry who's gonna lead. From what i see, it's likely not a good person. But, likely from now on FSF is just a pol puppet. Much followers and FSF loyalists will be lost.
