I experienced a jolt of electrostatic discharge after placing the stick of RAM into the wrong motherboard slot. Now I gotta spend the whole day troubleshooting.

Get the electrostatic discharge mug.The term given to an emerging genre of music that includes both Vocal Trance and Dance. DJ's combine the slower, sexier sounds of Vocal Trance with the up-tempo, high energy beats of Dance to create a multitude of emotions on the dance floors. The angelic vocals, uplifting melodies and high energy beats can create an intense emotional response which can lead to a natural euphoric state. More popular in Europe, it's making a slow migration to the commercially driven market of the USA
The DJ expertly mixed the varying beats and sounds of vocal electronica to create a rollercoaster of emotions on the dancefloor.

Get the Vocal Electronica mug.CEDs are conductive vinyl platters that are 30.0 cm (11.8 in) in diameter. To avoid using the metric system to name their discs, they were called "12 inch discs" even though they were actually slightly smaller. Each side of the disc has grooves that are about 19 miles long and are 37 times smaller than the grooves on a regular phonograph record. When the disc is playing, it spins at about 450 times per minute and each rotation of the disc contained several frames of audio and visual information.
To read the disc, a titanium needle was placed very lightly on the outer edge of the disc. A small electric current was then passed thru the center of the needle, where it would touch the bottom of the groove and read the audio information, which was stored in small holes. The needle would read these by detecting how much air was between the needle and the pit and then the electronics of the player would convert these into audio. The visual information was stored in the grooves and were read like a regular phonograph record. As the needle passed over the grooves, it would vibrate and the player would convert the vibrations into the pictures.

Get the Capacitance Electronic Disc mug.A sub~genre of electronic music made ever more popular by thoes who like to think they are big fans of electro. Fans are also under the illusion they have a deep understanding and knowlage on the subject. While there is nothing wrong with apreaciating electro for beginers, the idea that it is undergroud can result in anoyance by certain electro snobs.
Nappy Electro fan: "hey have you you herd "We Are Your Friends" by Justice? Its fucking so so sooooo filthy."
Electro snob:"yes......"
Electro snob:"yes......"

Get the Nappy Electro mug.A seduction into power. A candidate promises all kinds of bullshit to increase their appeal and convince the blissfully ignorant to vote for them. Once in power they have everything they need and therefore don't have to give a damn about the masses anymore. as well as this all the bullshit they promised beforehand is revealed to be: bullshit, much to the dismay of voters. Strangely the majority doesn't seem to catch on about this, and this method has been utilised to the same effect ever since.
Political elections are bullshit. Next time you see the successor to the throne preaching about how much better your lives are going to be once they're in the power palace, get out there and hunt these traitors down, hang them for deceiving the public and take back the money they were taking off you to fund the austerity brigade, arms dealers, media circus, conformity agents and the domination state.

Get the Political Election mug.(a new, mythical, mental disorder defined after Donald Trump won the presidency on Nov 8, 2016): a type of depression among voting age young adults 18-45, following the loss of your favorite political candidate at the federal elections, so severe that you are not socially, academically or legally functional anymore
Most left-leaning liberal social scientists, academics and pundits don't understand that IMHO this new, mythical post-election depression syndrome can actually be very easily cured; all one needs to do is consciously and rationally realize that your candidate lost and that retargerous actions such as civil disobedience, general violence, vandalism, destruction of property and other related forms of social protest are meaningless, making it more likely that you will get a file with the Unforegiveables.

Get the post-election depression syndrome mug.Electronica does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s, and exists purely as a marketing buzzword, not any actual quantifiable branch of music (the first wave of electronic music, incidentally, they called 'techno', and, having driven the word into the ground beyond all sense of meaning, they couldn't keep using it if they wished to re-market the music). Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy's 'Fat of the Land', Chemical Brothers and other big-time stars of that period were all called "electronica" at one point or another, but the person who really popularized it in the public consciousness was Madonna and her shallow, William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). She used that word all the damn time in interviews. God I hate her. So yeah: There is no such thing as electronica. -Ishkur
