Lol, sorry, I was still on your page when commenting.

LOL you're a star regardless bud :) *big bear hugs*

If you have the financial means to do so comfortably, I say do it. It's help the economy, it's an extremely rare amp and a once in a lifetime purchase, and easy to offload if need be with small loses.

If I was in the US I'd go for it. Between me and EC is the German Zoll charging between 31 and 33 percent tax. SO GO FOR IT.

Well... Pulled the trigger and placed my deposit with them. :)

Thanks a ton guys - Did take some time off to go through my finances and make sure I am not doing something dumb to myself. It ended up being shy of a "yolo" purchase, turns out I do have the cash for it (though I might do a partial credit term with my bank just to space out the payment, plus interest rates are super low these days).

Excited!

Ooooohh thanks so much @gixxerwimp! Will ring them up - Really want to get those care packs out.

I am glad I ranted here! <3

Using SF to send should be okay. But check who they hand off to if they don't have their own service in the destination country. For example, they use UPS in the US and Canada.

Suggested response: "Don't fucking tell me how to judge you! It's my judgement, and fuck all to do with you."

At least you'll surprise them :)

I know I should... But it's one thing I've never learnt how to do. Instead I kept my social circle small and have very few who are close to me.

Think I am a bit messed up inside :) But will try to be better!

Nope... You're the one who /isn't/ messed up inside.

I can pull mine out (also bought from the same guy) from my DAC and pass you a couple of pictures too if you'd like.

Just the pictures though. Hehe.

@Enigmatic yes please!

Same. IDK why that hit me harder than most..R.I.P.

I was shocked as well. Aneurysm is scary stuff. It’s how my grandmother died when I was a little kid.

That sucked to read in my news feed today... Gonna watch some old Mythbusters in his memory :(

I sincerely hope it's a non issue...good luck!

Thanks so much everyone... Hugs. I *think* we both should be fine, but keeping away from people and working from home for a week or so to be sure.

Wife and I are both clear - All primary contacts underwent two tests and came out negative, and with that secondary contacts are marked fine - Though we are keeping social distance from people until next week, for others' comfort. :) Thanks for the concern. <3

Play "Too Long" by Daft Punk, I dare you.

@Deep Funk make sure you put that on repeat too!

Already happened a few times. Turns life into Disco, I am not joking.

On that note, appreciate you folks even if I don't know you all personally.

Could be said to be... enigmatic?

My dog goes through all of those emotions within the span of 3seconds

NM, i get it now

Says the ketchup commercial.

Haha. Yea. It's so easy to get something these days, it is much harder to work hard from the bottom to the top. Applies not just to jobs but also hobbies. But it does pay off in the end. :)

Contentment > patience

Bring some booze and share stories. At one point the masks fall off and we sing songs together because fuck it...

Respect for your fellow man or fellow woman. Forgiveness and humbleness. I found those help me along the way.

Funny thing is, the minute one says humble as applied to oneself. The minute one looses it. Elusive. Comes and goes I guess.

That's fair - Thanks for letting us know @shipsupt... Much appreciated. Hope no hard feelings were developed and he will be back posting soon.

My edict is no longer in force. It's my understanding that the chatroom name has been changed to 4ChangAudioClucksChat or similar. People may proceed according to their own wishes now without being banned.

He thought of an elephant (don't think of an elephant)

Thanks for that @Azteca

Sometimes it just feels a bit too close for comfort. Two years back my manager and I were working on a project in Amsterdam. He had a few return trip options. One of those dates was the day MH17 was shot down.

Just don't fly Egyptian or Malaysian airlines and you will be fine.

It was found out Malaysian Airlines choose a less safe route for the MH17 to save on fuel. So when an airline is known for such decisions, avoid them at all costs...
