@tg Just listened to 1 hour and 7 minutes of your music published through https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet Loved it. Would listen again. Want to jam to it on my guitar. I thought you&#39;d like to know that I think it&#39;s really good. I&#39;ve also read that essay more than once myself and to Mr H. *tips hat* I thought that was really well done too, as it goes. Bravo and etc👏

*edit: I think I have what I need with thanks to @josgeluk and to those who boosted🙏 *Mastodon* niche audio help sought!!! I have some ongoing issues with a guide dog puppy in training. Specifically I need audio on a long loop (10mins+) of the booming exterior noise a car radio makes from the exterior (windows closed). This could be from one or several moving or static vehicle/s. This is for noise sensitivity training. The usual searches did not help. Do your thing you beautiful people.

RE: https://mastodonapp.uk/@FourT4/116380167304883269 OOF Felt this hard &quot;What if the exhaustion everybody feels isn&#39;t a moral failure but the completely rational response&quot; This is a must read on the debt we all owe to the things we &#39;own&#39;

I bet you didn&#39;t know dogs could do THIS. This is the dog I trained from a puppy last year. His name is Yohan. 4 separate streams of training done; basic obedience and shop work with me for 13 months. Guiding, assistance and wheelchair with 3 (and more) separate trainers in Cork since April 2025. Over 2 years total. This video is from his trainer who did his wheelchair phase work. Yohan begins his journey with his new forever owner soon. #IrishGuideDogs #MastoDaoine #DogsOfMastodo...

Dog started barking at 4.55 this morning. Whatever I&#39;m doing is making this worse. It was 5.52 yesterday. This bit can get in the fucking bin.
