Qildail

You should see some of the network wiring closets I have to deal with. Using 20 ft cables where 5 ft would be fine. Running cables between the rack posts! Makes me shake my head.

@Kernel Kurtz I've only managed tech teams with one or two racks at most, so once they get settled they tend to stay that way. I can only imagine the nightmare of any kind of larger operation.

I fully admit most of my issues are laziness-induced and impatience-multiplied. I just can't be arsed after a couple hours of crawling around on the floor.

I don't mind untangling cables. I don't mind untangling rope.

I do mind untangling cheap, fine chain in necklaces etc. Sometimes it can be teased apart using a couple of needles, but generally it beats me.

That's more of a love triangle than duo in my eyes: the diacetyl compounds are probably a large part of the show.

Popcorn with Champagne is an enophile classic.

Except on weight.

It feels like you were always here!

Hug me

You wait your turn. I'm hugging Qildail!

Yeah, I get teased for being a box hoarder.

"Why don't you you at least fold them down flat so they don't take up so much damn space?"

"Because I need to keep the foam inserts to protect the items if I ship them."

"So, you're now hoarding foam thingies as well?"

One of the reasons I purge, I'm sick of having so many damn boxes!!

You should see my attic…

Time to upgrade to Lyr 3+ + MB.

Jot 2 is my work amp. If I was listening for engagement though, Valh 2 would be my choice.

This talk is all well and good, but what are you replacing the *wife* with?

Are you upgrading? Or sidegrading? Or, perhaps, waiting for some new model, which might, or might not, be released?

But if you put them away, how could you enjoy their beauty?

Or some of these aftermarket cables are so pretty I want to replace all my stock cables and never see them again. ;)

ok, but is the soap good?

It's good pure soap. Works a wonder on my genitals. Last we were in Paris we brought an empty carry-on here and filled it. The store clerk thought we were crazy.

Please let me know if you decide to let go of the Clears. But you can keep the soap!

Did you use duct-tape?

If not, did you consider it? These are important questions.

@Deep Funk ha! No, no duct tape, but I did try spraying WD-40 on the valve before resorting to emergency surgery on the thing. So, half point there maybe?…

You, sir, are a renaissance man. Don't forget about the duct tape, though.

They used to sell the plastic bags for pads a la carte (5 for $10 I think?) but I don’t see them on the site anymore. Maybe try emailing them?

We will have the bags back soon, did a slight redesign and ordered a bunch more!

Wasn't expecting a direct reply at all. Thanks, Zach; I'll keep my eyes out for them.

@Armaegis ha!

"only putting ice cube at a time"

But what time?

That's when you wanna gossip with your GFs is bringing out the cube.

I think my youngest daughter was more excited about them getting here than I was. Of course she will inherit them, so I'm cooking my own food for the next couple weeks... (I kid, I kid...)

She is telling the truth.

Kids are always wiser than us parents

It can also be thrown like a brick.

It's not the megapixels, it's what you do with them.

Very nice!

If it wasn’t obvious, I’m usually indecisive as all hell when it comes to any single major purchase. Paradox of choice, etc.

Not sure what you’re hoping to see in nov. Closed back atriums are probably coming next year. And there was mention of sub-$1k headphones to possibly come after that. Cocobolo atrium should be available very soon

Yeah, I thought I saw some chatter on head-fi about a July ltd edition? Could be completely wrong.
