Just finished the book and will (lol "Will") prob do a gotcha react vid in the future with the "Fellowship" reacting because the Demogorgon (I wanna make Alice react to it) and also Eleven (Terry). Plus I want to show them future Brenner and can't get nearly enough of little Kali!
Anyway, thoughts on the book?
In Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds, there was mention of electrotherapy being used to do something to the mind. Is it possible to use electrotherapy to manipulate minds? If so, what is tthe term for it? If not, what are the limitations of electrotherapy?
During her very first session in the lab under the influence of LSD, Dr. Brenner saw potential in her reaction and instructed his subordinates to begin electrotherapy. Confused and in pain, Alice found herself in a strange place with ash falling from the sky.

This is a very interesting poster of the Duffer Brothers and Writers (Bee & Gee) too, all in lovely 1980s esthetic.
OK, so what? Well this is the Hobbit PC from the 1980s Soviet Union. A point of contention on S1:E1 (Hobbit vs. Lord of the Rings). Suspicious Minds.
Hobbit (Хоббит) is a Soviet/Russian 8-bit home computer, based on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum hardware architecture. It also featured a CP/M mode and Forth mode or LOGO mode, with the Forth or LOGO operating environment residing in an on-board ROM chip.[1]
Our dear Eleven after a sharp ringing in her ears, stabbing pain in her head, followed by the filthy incarnation of a biological coding virus is pulled from her leg screams in polyphonic harmony with the crescendo of exploding glass in front of the Gap. One pitch can change everything, huh?
The Gap is very prevalent in Season Three, in my perception.
“GAP have been using ‘invisible audio’ devices as part of interactive window displays in its flagship stores. GAP worked with London-based creative digital agency, Signal Noise, to showcase its Be Bright ‘Denim Moves You’ campaign in its London, Paris, Rome and Milan flagship store windows.” - 1st January 2013 Innovation Article.
This is one of The Gap’s storefronts that uses the sound system Whispering Window by the manufacturer feONIC. The Whispering Window is One of their lovely innovations utilizing Ferrite magnet variants used in sound systems, nano-technology, etc.. This device when attached to glass, wooden floors, etc. can make an environment a speaker system.
Joyce at the T.V. in S2, Will at the T.V. in the comics, mix tapes, movies, music at sleepovers, so many windows and visits to restroom mirrors. White noise everywhere. Poltergeist. It does appear that one pitch can change everything.
BUT FEAR NOT!!! Eleven will get patched up, perhaps even upgraded!
iOS 11.4.1 was released on July 9, 2018. It fixes an issue that prevented some users from viewing the last known location of their AirPods in the Find My Phone app and it improves reliability of syncing mail, contacts, and notes with Exchange accounts.[35]
Take a look at the iOS Generations that correspond with the “You Rule/You Suck” sign/shirt (above).
She could not only develop in her ability to gain resilience and interact with others, but regain some if not all of her powers. Perhaps she will upgrade as in S2:E9. She should at least be able to target Hopper.
In Suspicious Minds, Alice foresees a girl with a shaved head and a tattooed ‘11’ in a chamber (transistor?) within what may be an early super computer. Transistors amplify electromagnetic wavelengths. Doesn’t El often piggy back white noise through devices so as to increase her range?
There is so much more. However, most claim fatigue by this point so I will leave off with 2 more bits.
After Unix, development [having] starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others there was Plan 9 from Bell Labs. Ken, Andrew Rich, Suspicious Minds, huh?
Plan 9’s mascot is Glenda the bunny (the good witch, Alice’s White Rabbit?).
“Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a distributed operating system, originating in the Computing Science Research Center (CSRC) at Bell Labs in the mid-1980s, and building on UNIX concepts first developed there in the late 1960s. The final official release was in early 2015.”
”Under Plan 9, UNIX's everything is a file metaphor is extended via a pervasive network-centric filesystem, and graphical user interface is assumed as a basis for almost all functionality, though it retains a heavily text-centric ideology.”
“A union directory can be created by using the bind command:
; bind /arm/bin /bin
; bind -a /acme/bin/arm /bin
; bind -b /usr/alice/bin /bin
In the example above, /arm/bin is mounted at /bin, the contents of /arm/bin replacing the previous contents of /bin. Acme's bin directory is then union mounted after /bin, and Alice's personal bin directory is union mounted before. When a file is requested from /bin, it is first looked for in /usr/alice/bin, then in /arm/bin, and then finally in /acme/bin/arm.”
Then came Inferno. Hell. In-fern-zero? Maybe something is wrong in the plants. Ferns reproduce from spores, RIGHT?
“Inferno is a distributed operating system started at Bell Labs and now developed and maintained by Vita Nuova Holdings as free software.[2] Inferno was based on the experience gained with Plan 9 from Bell Labs, and the further research of Bell Labs into operating systems, languages, on-the-fly compilers, graphics, security, networking and portability. The name of the operating system and many of its associated programs, as well as that of the current company, were inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Interestingly, in Italian, Inferno means "hell" — of which there are nine circles in Dante's Divine Comedy.”
P.S.
Stranger Writers, would you happen to know anything regarding the following two pics? If so, I fear that the A.V. club may be facing some difficulties and as a result may change its code of conduct. The school may end up snowed in. 😈
According to Suspicious Minds, Terry Ives’ friend Alice was alive in Canada when Terry discovered El was alive at Hawkins Lab. I wonder if she and El will ever meet.
