Sorry that I destroyed your toilet?

@YMO do you do international flights for a BBQ? Clothing optional since they burn away anyway. Dog will be chef, critic, security and comedic relief.

Just do what I do: put crystals on top of your gear, and have a sign that says “ONLY POSITIVE ENERGY ALLOWED HERE.” They’ll be careful because they’ll think you’re nuts.

@Riotvan i do private tours PM Me.

And finally got the Rpi music server back online.

Ha, similar problems after replacing my dying modem-router combo with individual units rented from the ISP - wireless range to the bedroom Pi became the issue.

Hard to see how this will end up lowering ticket prices. Live Nation preference for buildings they own isn't the reason why ticket prices are so nuts. Blame artists who don't want to alienate fans by charging true market value of their tickets.

Also, DOJ is incompetent at prosecuting antitrust. This is a great example: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/magazine/chicken-industry-antitrust.html

the incompetence is by design

Horrible but perhaps this should go in the dedicated thread. Don't think a profile post is the place for something that easily ignites a political discussion.

I don't look at it as a political issue. Just a sad chronology of bonehead events by people leading to this sort of mess.

The statistical fact is that uber driver is much more likely (several orders of magnitude) to die from a crazy driver wielding his deadly multi-ton weapon than any crazed over protective father. The father is likely to serve a small amount of time and lose his right to posses firearms...

Hahaha.... Yes, I did at first type it as -phone.

Really, I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard...

@Biodegraded "Check the story just below:."

FINALLY I GOT AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED@@!@!!!!! Money makin' moneymoney makin!

gaaaaaaah

Try the Natrol brand. It works for the people I know, whereas the generic... The standard recommendation is 0.5mg at 6 P.M. and 0.5 mg at 8. I found that the 6 P.M. dose was too early for me. I take 0.5 at 7, and 1.5 at 9. Experiment and see what works. If you believe in God, try praying before you go to sleep. That helps me more than anything.

Yeah, I had some Natrol around. Took half a 6mg tab before sleep. Did pretty well. The last time I took a quarter tab and I remember it being pretty effective.

"use less rather than more"

Was reading an article about Melatonin supplement, which I do use, a while back. It reminded that the body uses and responds to chemicals like this in *tiny* amounts, and that 5mg, 10mg, etc dosages are a joke. I roughly divide a 3mg capsule in half. I tried thirds, at first, but too much hassle, and the difference is insignificant.

"I'd say you've had enough!"

"You know...morons."

“And now for my next impression: Jesse Owens.”

Yeah, what's going on?

What pi set up are we looking for a guide for? There be a few and I’m curious what’s popular these days.

@Vansen I don't know what's popular, but I helped @insidious meme with MoOde

Time for a beer!!

need that flow state meditation in your life friend

Here's to hoping it turns around.

So 50% unboxing, 50% random audio terms and hand gestures? :p

It's not so random so far as I've got caught up in Denafrips love land. Although one guys burst out at Topping/SMSL/Gustard/etc. sounding samey was kinda funny.

@rhythmdevils And lots of slick video production.

The pietus maximus posts over there are pretty funny as well.

A master DAC killer, SMSL SU-X did you guys see this new DAC ? Reminds me of RoboCop 6000 SUX ! I'd buy that for a dollar !

lol, that guy's a nitwit. He's on my long ignore list. I was on one thread the other day, skimming for info on something, and only 2 posts by unignored people were displayed on the page.

Time to start chasing some of the OG Hifimans...

I liked it so much that I bought the V1 HE-560 twice over the years! Pad Swaps help improve the response too

50%

I'd like to might have to wait till 3rd batch and sell kidney

*alreddygot

Not sure of the context, but would depend on the poster for me. I know a lot folks tastes over the years here, so understand statements like that and the subtext behind it for a lot established members… but that doesn’t serve everyone well and I still think it’s better to elaborate than just leave as “pairs well”.

I've learned (from here) that you can't just say something pairs well and leave it at that, and that you have to look at the whole chain. Your downstream can pair well but you still have to have the right source.

I know at some point Zach will drop this on somone here. Curious how it reviews.

He should innovate and be the first headphone amp to include a radio tuner just to fit that retro aesthetic.

The zmf bokeh was great on the EC Ultralinear

I'm always happy to bring it out for people to listen. IMO it's such a shame it's a one-off; would love to have things on the market like it.
