A very cool website, if you will.
Looking forward to it! I'm hoping to jump right in with La La Luna Sea, will just have to see what tomorrow brings.
myNoise.net: customizable soundscapes
mynoise.net Background Noises • Ambient Sounds • Relaxing Music | myNoise ®
myNoise sets the standard for online background noise machines and interactive soundscapes.
I've been listening to this site for about a decade and absolutely love it. It's made by a sound engineer who makes music, drones, white noise, field recordings, etc., sometimes with the cooperation of other artists. The site allows you to adjust a soundscape to your liking, and you can take individual audio tracks from multiple soundscapes to create your own composites, too.
ACTION ROLL

I called UPS to protest a $100 fee charged on an under-$300 item. They discounted the brokerage portion of the fee by half for me (wow, so generous), which I paid over the phone, and I requested they hold the parcel at one of their locations for me to pick up because it was a Christmas present for my housemate.
So of course they delivered it to the door, my housemate answered, the delivery person cheerfully announced what the thing was that had just arrived, and charged her the full $100 fee right there.
I spent six months contesting this double-charge and finally scraped back enough from them to constitute a proper refund for her only a few weeks ago. I talked to nine different representatives over the phone and had to explain the situation three different times to the same representative over email. UPS's indifference and incompetence is staggering.
Nice! I love the texture on the heel flaps.
Also there's a knitting community over at https://lemmy.world/c/knitting if you're interested.
