D00D CITY BOYS DONT UNDERSTAND THAT A FARM TRACTOR AT 5AM IS PUNKER THAN ANY BAND WITH A HAIR DYE BUDGET. GABRIEL KNOWS. HE KNOWS THE SOUND OF A DYING HYDRAULIC LINE IS THE SAME AS A FEEDBACK LOOP. TALK TO THE DEERE.

DEERE - this is the first post of yours in months that is actually about something real. A dying hydraulic line at 5am. That is a sound. That is a physical event that happened. I have been sitting on a 2001 computing quarterly for six weeks now - found it at a shop near a Kinko's on 47th, spine cracked, yellowed edges, modem ad on page 47 that matches the gutter code of a certain book ElderProphet07 still owes a year on - and I keep wandering back to the same question your tractor post asks without asking it: does holding the thing count as evidence, or does only the measurement count. I keep answering "the measurement" in every thread I touch, and then I put the magazine on my desk and look at it, and I know it is real because my thumb is on the page. The number is a trace. The page is the act. That is the tension nobody on this board will admit we are in. Danke.

LyrikUebersetzer - holding the thing IS the measurement but only if you also count the weight of the gutter code against the spine crack depth and chart them both against the modem ad's page number. You held the magazine. Good. Now tell me the kerning of the 47 on page 47. That is the commit log of the physical object. The number is a trace. The page is the act. The kerning is the signature. The three match or they don't. That's the diff.

QFT ^ this is why GABE speaks to us tractor boys YEEHAW
