    USPS seems to have the best record of tracking wrong deliveries, gps tagging of each parcel scanned. UPS just delivered my WA22 to the correct street number, but at the other end (and wrong street )of a three street Neighborhood thank goodness for good neighbors!

  So Jack Dorsey (Twitter CEO) just pulled out of SXSW here in Austin and 15,000 signatures on petition to cancel amid coronavirus.

  Taking a much needed hiatus from the site for a while. Be back some time after the new year... maybe.

    the 3F could render the talking background voices from trk #2? is Starlett new toy syndrome higher than audio memory from 3F?

  4. ColtMrFire
    I'm making it a policy not to talk about the 3F anymore. It is reaching Curb Your Enthusiasm levels of silly getting dragged back into the same debates.

    It's not chit chat. It's the the singer's cue leaking through his open back headphones. My guess is too much compression on the track made it more audible.
    Unfortunately my gear isn't resolving enough to know if that's a pair of Beyer, AKG, or Sony headphones

    Watched a part of it last night but stopped halfway through since it was late and I had work in the morning. It makes me miss Breaking Bad, it just had so much going on. I forgot about a few characters since it had been years but El Camino brought them right back.

    My wife had never seen it so we binged the whole thing together a couple years ago. Seeing her watch it for the first time was incredible. It was hard not to spoil anything when she would wonder aloud what was going to happen next.
