Seeing people excited and hugging coming out of the airport just makes me happy for them. Melts the solid block of cynicism in me, I guess. Apr 24, 2024 at 5:01 PM

  Mjolnir 1 on the desk. This thing hits like a thrown brick.

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

  At this point I’ve talked myself into the Atriums. Now… buy the cherry or wait to see what does or doesn’t roll out in November…. :/

    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

  Officially down 40 pounds (~18 kg) since the start of the year. Still not where I want to be yet, but getting there.

    A couple of other things: the body can metabolize only 18–25 grams of protein in a given 1.5–2 hour period. So there's no point in loading up on protein. Better to add a side of green vegetables (e.g., a mix of lettuce and spinach, or broccoli steamed in the microwave). And, if you're 30–35+, it's likely time to start making your heart work less hard. The easiest way is flaxseed oil capsules.

    I just read that AKM is supposed to restart mass production for the 3rd quarter this year. I wonder if Schiit will switch back
    
    Jun 23, 2022
  3. schiit
    AKM re-redesign is done, but no immediate plans to switch back, unless ESS has problems or pricing issues. We have both designs mainly to ensure shipping something in a world of supply chain pain.

  Missing my step-father today. He taught me so much about 70s progressive rock and swearing in Russian at torque wrenches.

    I also swear like my father. I cannot explain why or how, it just happens. For a gentle soul he swore like fire breathing dragon ready to destroy everything in his path.
    
    Either way, take care.

  Five warnings of "six to eight weeks" followed by a ship notification three days later is amusing. I will never actually complain about it.

  A bottle of red, a double California roll, and a few more pulls from the last box. Not the worst way to end a hectic day.

    I still haven't played any of my grandfather's record collection, and he passed in 1996. things like this are different for everyone. don't think you need to do anything because it's "normal" to just get it over with. give things the time and space they deserve.

    It is okay to cry. My father left almost nothing. His old G-Shock lay there. After a month I had it fixed up. It is something special.

    @yotacowboy @Deep Funk Thanks, guys, truly. The whole thing has been a walkabout through a lot of (mostly good) memories. Everyone at SBAF has been supportive of my extended public therapy session via sharing music; and that makes this process many times easier on the chi.
