YMO

I'm glad my daily work conferences are call in only.

I usually wear only underpants in the house. With a light cotton towel around the waist if anyone other than wife is about. But... I don't have to do video calls.

About to hit beer two, this call is killing me.

One of my sons is designing ships in his bedroom. Not little boats. 350 to 500 ft vessels. Doing the CAD drawings for cutting steel in most efficient way, routing pipes, etc. on ships currently being built. All the shipyard engineering staff was put on WFH status.

Downside for me is both GF and I have to to WFH in a 620 Sq Ft apt. She takes over the living room while I have my bedroom. Working in my bedroom makes me feel like a virgin at times back during my virgin days.

My living room has been converted into home office for my wife and I. Our desks are separated by an antique wardrobe, so it’s like we have cubicles

Good idea

I'll be the potato

@netforce lets try it.

yup. it's a gem on the Woo WA8 Eclipse.

Love them out of the Vali 2 (low gain ftw)

No room in 620 SQ FT apt. Also, vinyl prices suck now where I am at.

I have been enjoying messing around with the new Earmen Donald Dac ($100) that is using a Cirrus Logic chip. https://www.moon-audio.com/earmen-donald-dac.html

get a 90s R2R. There's a list floating around out there somewhere with a list of what thousands of chips are used in different DACs. Search by PCM63.

Nom nom nom

Have you tried Bamberg Rauchbier?

@Gaspasser I never did try the smoked beer from them. I should but the darkest I normally go is a Dunkel. I like the dark look, but not a dark taste like in porters.

I think @YMO is just a bit casual about the dislikes, based on posts elsewhere. Don't think you should take it too personally, man, the recent situation in the world has got everyone a bit on edge.

I don't get to drink lately cuz family all hate alcohol (sigh, definitely making up for that once I can get out again!), but I do hope you and YMO both take care of your livers :))

@Claud, me not angry when I'm drinking. I did say that I love you on my last profile post to you. I only gave the dislike because these posts should go in the Beer! Thread.

I love you Claud, but post this into the Beer Thread. I'm going to drunk post my hate for IPAs just to spite @Gaspasser.

@Gaspasser Fuck IPAs. What am I, 65? This one place that I go locally is called the "Retirement Home," because this place the majority of things on tap are IPAs and most of the people are 50+. Also, Not the biggest fan of Cigar City stuff in general.

Those who don’t like IPAs have weak constitutions.
What beers do you normally like? Maybe post something in the Beer thread.

I did post something awhile back on the Beer thread. TD:DR: German Beer and their Reinheitsgebot legacy law is my version of what beer should be made. I can make another post that piss on everyone's favorite beer, but nah. IPAs are those who are losing their taste in things in general. You need to spice it so much to make it taste something. :P

I'm glad I stockpiled booze instead of TP

The booze is so important when it is a Mad Max world outside. Minus people wearing some punk leather.

We're locked down as of tomorrow night for 3 weeks. I have a couple cases of beer and a few bottles of whisky for kicks. I don't know how much I feel like kicks though.

I'll listen to it in a bit if it is musical to me. Always sends me recommendations like my "cousin" @Gaspasser does for me at times without him knowing.

I just finished the Tomeka Reid album, fantastic stuff. The more I listen, the more Mary Halvorson impresses.

I just finished Metallica, now listing to the Reid Album.

And of course I found this via Audio Asylum.

Lazy attempt, no GPON port or SFP fiber. I still say that a complete GPON router, with all the bells and whistles in a Silbatone style chassis would be a VERY profitable product (+$10k per unit, of course!).

Too many people are in a panic, we need to put our volumes up to 11 and need to laugh at the situation. I need it.

Hang on, I'll get my glasses...

Oh! Right! Yes. But... I was just beginning to panic :/

Ford Prefect was right. It made sense Elvis liked him...

No such thing in my book. Guilty pleasures are just things you like that are outside of your usual sphere... maybe even most other people's, as well. All music that makes you feel something is worth appreciating.

It doesn't define you, yanno? Too many people are afraid to like what they like and miss out on too much good music. I was that way for a long time. And then I looked back on the wasted years.

Listening to a lot of David Bowie helps. His phases...

Some of that rubbish 60s pop.

The other day I bumped into Jennifer Eccles on Youtube. And I always had a bit of a thing about Jesamine.

Jelly. Woulda liked to have gotten my hands on one.

GF got that baritone?

Very
