Skyline

Is "gooey" bass a commonly used audiophile term?

I had a blue/green one once, somehow I lost track of it before my curiosity got the best of me and I popped that bottle cap

I have a blue and an orange one. the blue one its better

I can go to a marketplace here and order SD cards that register as, say, 64GB but in reality are only 16GB cards.

Yeah, that is why I use H2testw. It writes data to the whole card and then reads it back for errors or mismatches. There might be more modern ways to test, but it is still my go to.

Practical point: for music, it doesn't matter a damn how fast you can write to the card, because you only do it when you add new songs, and minutes don't matter. So keep the high-performance cards for writing video to, and stuff like that. Not necessary to top out on performance for audio... Mind you, somebody will complain that they don't like waiting 750 miliseconds for the album art to show!

Don't fall asleep before it starts!

No kidding. It's way past my bedtime. Stephen Spielberg's daughter was the opener. No joke.

my gig tonight = GYBE! destroyed dBs in Denver with a near 2 hour, non-stop set!

... The Browns realize their mistake and pick Darnold at 4, and frantically try to trade Mayfield for Miami's head coach, Adam Gase. Gase agrees to sign, then backs out Josh McDaniel's style, because who the hell would want to coach the Browns...

... And that, kids, is how the Dolphins got their franchise QB.

(I'm from the future. I know these things. Trust Me.)

Mayfield is a sure things, in my opinion, as long as no off the field stuff occurs. I appreciate and support your above scenario.

Coincidentally, I just ate Skyline's German cousin. Beer brats with kraut and mustard.

I am no connoisseur but I have been to Ohio a few times and have had a taste of Skyline and Gold Star. Tasty!

Please. Never mention the Gold Star abomination again.

AFO pays for itself!

You are a better man than I @Skyline. I could never go to a physics grading group during summer. I can’t look at another paper by June.

Best PD I've ever been to and they pay well.

I have no idea why that post went to Skyline...

I felt special when I saw you left a message, but now I see the truth. The truth hurts :P

Suck it up, buttercup. No snow for you! =P hehe

Everything I do in life is double-blind.

Cleaner power.

It's combination of chilled out brain and possibly less shit power quality.

I'll buy the mental explanation. A dark room with a glowing tube and a good drink certainly set the right tone.

Hey USPS always seems to treat me well. It's FedEx you gotta watch out for...

Did you order the speshul magical tube for Lyr 3?

Just the Tung-Sol. Nothing over the top.

They ran out of room :-)

I think it's healthy to step away for a while every so often to break the "addiction" cycle. And also to run calculators to see how much you're giving up in retirement by consistently wasting money on hobbies like this. I still want to upgrade stuff, but it takes years instead of days or months now.

Lyr 3 has landed. My formal review: Confirmed. I'm done. Smell you all later.

That’s awesome! I’m trying to get off the merry-go-round too.

It's great seeing all these kids taking an active roll in their community. Just hope it continues to the polls once they are all old enough to vote.

The problem is nothing will happen, our reps are bought and paid for, remember Columbine. Nothing has really changed. I told my son they would have to do it monthly if nothing changes. Well, I can help, I vote, mutha....ers

You'd be surprised how engaged my students have become. They know every bill up for debate in local legislature and have compiled a list of every politician that's taken a dime from the NRA. I'm optimistic on this one.

Yes! I saw them on the Bitte Orca tour. Love them.

Curious how it'll be different now that it's "him" as opposed to "them".

This is one of the more intense ones I've seen. Towards the end of their last song they're bringing the place down. I'd like to see someone trying to work through it :P

Check out the OK Go TDC. They take it on the road, literally...

Even though I am almost completely out of touch with music from the past several decades, I have seen and loved several Tiny Desk concerts. What an experience it would be to actually be there. Can't imagine anybody even tries to go on working! :)

How old are we talking? I was like 20 when my dad suddenly realized I had no idea how to ride a bike yet and unceremoniously plopped my butt on a borrowed one then told me to start pedalling :P

That aside, congrats!

7, so she's got you beat by a year or two :P

She told me later that it feels strange not needing me as much any more. Then she gave me a hug and said, "I always want to need you, Daddy".

Seriously? Way to go for the gut punch, kid.

I have a teaching certificate although I don't teach, I did complete the training. And teachers carrying guns is not only a bad idea, it is a stupid one. Let's move on. We don't have the answers and let's admit the solution will not be a simple one. Just sit back and listen to the kids for once and let us hear what they have to say about it.

JK, are you a teacher?

I realize there are dissenting voices.

We do have a police officer in our building which should be mandated across the country. I'm a bit shocked to realize that every school does not have the same. That makes 1 gun in our building and it's the only one I'd trust.

"I'm a bit shocked to realize that every school does not have the same."

Security in our schools is terrible and definitely something can be done about that. I feel this is the real conversation that needs to be had.
