They’re the best and most needed kind.

The truth sucks sometimes, but it's better to hear it now than pay for it later.

good to strive to not be like "them," but in order to do so, we have to recognize how prone we are to being just like "them." otherwise this place is running wild with self-righteous asshats that act like they're "audio-woke". so what i appreciate about this place is how open it is about its biases, while also being open about *how* or the way, to give helpful "answers."

So the active ground is not a gimmick?

Less active ground. Can always populate two channels. But more the opamp driver and output stage. The output stage is different, but also very similar. I loved the M3.

Nvaguy "exposure" did not help . I liked my Mini-3 back in the day.

At least we can be happy that the remake of Road House starring Rhonda Rousey in Patrick Swayze's roll appears to be shelved for now. Hopefully it stays that way. Road House 2 was already bad enough, lol.

@OldDude04 I was not aware there was a sequel, looks like a porno!

Rodehouse

"The guy was on drugs. Yes, we agreed not to report him."

Is that subtle hint for us to report him instead???

Back in my public works days I watched a Honda Prelude driver ignore the keep back sign and stop right behind a 966 Cat, who proceeded to reverse right up the hood to the windshield. Driver was OK but but traumatized :-) Wish they had camera phones back then.

Thankfully not a 120mph Tesla. https://miami.cbslocal.com/2019/02/15/cbs4-exclusive-speeding-tesla-near-rips-suv-half/

Man, listening to music and enjoying life are diametrically opposed? You're not doing it right man...

How does universal ignore work?

Sorry what was that?

Wow, that is very 90s indeed.

lmao, that tampon font is new too. It looked like this a few months ago: https://i.imgur.com/pfLYrHN.png

It's set up as my browser's default search engine. I just search from the URL box mostly, so actually hardly noticed it in the results list. Also have "black mode" set.

I never bought tampons, so I guess I didn't notice.

Chrome for lazy searches. Firefox for serious searches. Duck Duck Go for everything else. Social media are often terrible these days...

A year or two ago, Linkedin mailed me to say that I would not receive anything from them until I updated my profile.

Sadly, they were lying.

I should delete the account. But everytime I think of it I get that "what if some person I worked with in 1998 actually wants to contact me?" and I don't. An nobody useful ever does contact me.

startpage.com is a good search tool. protonmail.com for email. Choosing your service providers to segregate personal data is pretty key these days.

Pure Freudian

Aggressively passive

I would almost dare to say all even # Windows releases suck and most odd ones are decent. XP, 7, 8.1 were OK. Vista, 8, and 10 sucked ass royally.

Maybe megalomaniac Jobs hired exactly who he wanted: a stunted mechanic like Cook that would never actually supersede his own accomplishments, thus protecting Jobs' place in BS tech lore. Dude seemed self-obsessed enough that he'd make sure his children were buried with him. Well, not his actual children, because he didn't seem to care about them nearly as much.

MS is a typical big corp. No different than Apple.. How has MAC OS advanced in the recant years? I heard it is getting more dumbed down and iOS-like. https://www.zdnet.com/article/anonymous-msft-developer-admits-linux-is-faster-than-windows/

Scratch that; EU in 10 years make it mandatory to have a solar panel per household electrical equipment piece - then there is going to be no way around 'switching'.

If you want inefficiency visit the Brussels and Straatsburg. They still cannot decide on one location so they switch between these two. Also this is not about politics but idiocy regarding logistics and designing smooth processes. But no, the EU likes wasting resources while telling EU-citizens to pay their taxes. Rant over...

Depending on the current demand there Max be solutions:

Not every switcher is a bad switcher

You got your face scratched off, too? It made me think twice for a while.

^nope

Probably testosterone levels are on the decline

IEMW is people who have extensive experience with IEMs. All with different preferences with some overlap. This is necessary because random MOTs want me to review their wares. I am too busy, so I tell them to put up (send to these guys) or shut up.

BWC is my endeavor to promote good quality mid-bass from large drivers. Things that few young people have heard in a good setup in a home environment. I also want to promote "DIY" or Lego speakerbuilding.

If you wish to perceive of them as cliques, not my problem. They merely denote important functions. SBAF is a meritocracy. I don't want to be people's friends.

They renamed Houston Intercontinental to George Bush just like 4 years after H.W. was prez.

I just feel that getting something named after you while you are living is bad juju. Like a drain on your life essence, i.e. premature limp-dick, etc.

Honestly I believe that no airport should be named after you. If you're president it should be a named representative of the the country you represent.

Stay classy Los Angeles

I saw a great production of The Magic Flute at the LA Opera years ago. It was before this current one that everyone is raving about but I quite enjoyed it.

You need to go deeper, if you're not feeling the etys by the back of your tongue.

When you are doing deep insertion everyday it starts to mess with your head. You keep telling yourself that it satisfies your emotional needs, but after a while you realise that you are living a lie and that you actually need a little bit of romance in your life too.

When I see subjective reviews include X destroys Y or some variant, my internal bullshit meter pegs. Reviewer is unable to distinguish between personal preferences and comparison attributes, let alone understand that their personal preferences probably don't extrapolate to the universe.

Is Windows 10's bash shell any good, Elnrik? I usually use the bash that comes with git

"String-Select?" With, I suppose, the caps? Weird. I'd say it was Microsoftish, except I suspect many languages use this kind of terminology these days.

One of my jobs for tonight: discover how to search for text in PDFs. An early google tells me there is something called pdfgrep.

@monacelli - I don't use it, to be honest.

@E_Schaaf - I think I was more agreeing/teasing. That artist has been known for fusing black metal, baroque and breakcore, primarily. I was enjoying your description of baroque->metal mainly.

Cooling jets is good. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish real aggression against groups versus insane Hunter s Thompson hallucinations and hyperbole but point taken

@E_Schaaf
Check out metal bands like Sigh (their album Imaginary Sonicscape in particular), Sear Bliss, Code, Gorguts’ album Obscura, Sunn O))), Portal, Impetuous Ritual, Lurker of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Lugubrum, Stargazer, Septic Flesh, Godflesh, Jesu, Boris, Mitochondrion, Gridlink, etc.

Lemme know if there’s a particular genre of metal you like, and I can give you some “weird bands.”
