I can see it - these kids have grown up with so much effing noise shot at them 24/7. Totally silly headline, but a good walk is a good walk :-)

The scary thing is they'll be running the planet soon.

Might be the first time in history a generation has been skipped for leadership roles due to laziness. Just move on to the next, if they're no good either, AI it is!!

Same about TTers — a news item every week. Welcome to the shill economy.

@Armaegis - the older I get, the more frequently I find myself saying this exact quote out loud, verbatim, without a hint of irony.

I am on the verge of quitting all social media. YouTube has almost turnt into cable TV at this point.

You can always call 911 and they will also tell you to go to the nearest police station and they will guide you there from wherever you are. Stay safe.

Only works when you bring your phone with you

Duel!

All the best. Hope you manage to avoid the flaky types this time.

Well, I'm sorry for @ColtMrFire, and wish you a better today tomorrow.

But I'm still left with fantasy of a woman whose whose idea of orgasm is to turn into a chocolate flake!

I didn't /think/ I was that weird.

With the WGA strike over, I hope things go better for you.

Well that sucks on so many levels. I hope the situation turns positive very soon.

Did so yesterday. No worries.

Have you owned the SW51+? Reason I ask, it’s making a damn nice pairing with my Aeolus, using the high Z-out for some reason (prefer the low Z-out for my Senns).

I borrowed it once and it never grabbed me really. I believe I was using it with HD650.

You can get a pump for that.

Oh wait, that’s for something else.

Sadly, I couldn't get the cure from the British NHS, and couldn't afford to go private. So I'm going to be incompetent until the day I die :/

Sounds like any popular southern city. Not happy with the rental prices, so I'm being a virgin and moving back with my dad who needs supervision soon due to his age.

My uncle managed to escape to East Germany in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

Befits certain folk, less so others. I appreciate the added granularity of *respectively* (hah) disagreeing vs disliking something as useless, but as with anything on the internet it was bound to be misused.

oh man, especially when it was written months ago

No prob with dislikes just find it weird when ppl hunt down old posts to get “back at you” for disliking or disagreeing with a post they made. I just picture “I know you are but what am I!” in a Pee Wee Herman voice.

@ColtMrFire I'm not trying to be hard on you or anything, but I could've done without the spoiler. So... how to go about it? Isn't there a T.V. thread, and in the thread one can include in the post a hidden spoiler. That's the best I got.

@Claritas there's no spoiler in my original post, which I was careful about. Anyone wanting to remain spoiler free should've stopped reading past that. Sorry.

People often forget this show was made by the guy who did Peep Show, (and if you don't know what that is, please do yourself a favor and watch it) it's a black comedy/tragicomedy in the vein of Shakespeare.

Its dramatic elements were there to set the stage for the Tom & Greg Show, the entire character of Kendall, and then casting Kieran Culkin as the youngest? C'mon, it's truly comedy at its finest.

I feel for you...I think what works well is friends of friends. Just make good friends and meet new people through them. There's a level of trust you can get that apps cannot provide.

Also, it shouldn't be that hard when you ultimately meet your partner. it should be fun and exciting and you try hard because you're enjoying being with the other person but if you're finding lots of drama, better to get out early and move on.

I've been happilly married for 25+ yrs but it's a lot of work. If I was a young single guy in 2023 I'd be red pill/MGTOW or Passport Bro. 99% of these laydees today are entitled and crazy

Call me when Skynet wakes up.

Post-AI humanmade art is gonna be so fuckin nuts, can’t wait to see what AI CANT reproduce, but there’s gonna be a lot of schlock tv, creative writing, digital art, etc until then…

Take a hot shower first!! Then listen to music :-)

I showered with my Yggdrasil.

Can enjoy…after one week warmup, lol.

Boy, does that suck. I remember being without power and heat for a couple of days while my wife was >5 months pregnant. So much to be grateful for when power came back!

What is up with Texas and power? Is it neglect of infrastructure? Transition to renewables that can't handle spikes? What is going on down there?

This time it seems the huge majority of outages was in Austin area. Some people were complaining about the Austin power provider. Could be that they haven’t properly maintained trees around power lines or something.

Half do half don’t. I’m one of the ones who still don’t. They just fucked off and ran. Day 5 without power. f**k Texas f**k Austin energy. This city and state is f'ing clown show.

Incompetence is the real pandemic in our country I fear. Having no power sucks, when I lived in Merrimack valley the power would go out if someone farted hard. Would lose power for days sometimes. Haven't lost it once since I moved 15 months ago. Hope you get power back real soon.

I have family down there in the same boat. Ice took out their power lines and their water lines all froze. Hopefully they get you back up and running soon!

So sorry Colt :/ we luckily made it out relatively unscathed this year (just had to hermit). Abbott coulda spent the money to fix the grid from 2021’s ice storm, but Texas is and will be Texas…

For a second I thought you were talking about Willie Nelson’s hometown of Abbott just up the road from here and I was gonna say you’re really close to me.

I always found lyrics comprehension to be a good way to evaluate gear

I've always heard her say that, just an opportunity to shoutout an awesome DAC.

@Cspirou this is actually a good point. Since getting Studio B (fed w/ LIM) an unexpected consequence has been a lot of “oh THAT’S what they’re saying” moments.

Now I'm really confused!

Your review is fine except for the part where you didn't whore yourself out to ZMF

Of the OG Auteur, VC, and Atrium that I've purchased, if I had to give up one, it would the Atrium - I still feel it's worth it but wouldn't really regret selling it like the other two.
