    Should I keep a marker pen with the condoms then?

    (Rhetorically question: old and married)

    Me too! Always was. And now I'm regressing to a "cheap" sound card. But hey, I could get sorbothane balls. No, wait... old and married.

    Ok - so who voted to call his system Hi-Fi? Frankly speaking this is not acceptable, bring the hammer.

    :D

    Just with respect to bypassing fuses...

    Tin-foil is f'ing amateur hour. Seriously... you're going to go through all the trouble of bypassing the fuse for the sake of audiophool sound, and you're going to use tinfoil as the conductor? *smh*

    I've seen control transformers catch on fire and burn up control wiring cabinets because of improper fusing, so my advice would be to properly fuse the circuit, according to the load VA. If you're going to bypass components, use a proper conductor and not tin foil. Save that for your audiophool hat.

    Didn't he say copper foil? Would that make a difference?

    Copper might make a more becoming hat for the pale-skinned.

    A mere two nights ago, I had become depressed by this thread, seeing it as a microcosm of existence, isolated and angry monads shouting at each other in the virtual void. But now, it is postively liberating!

    If you start feeling down again then let me know - I'm willing to go total batshit for the sake of mankind.

    I have to reserve this thread till I have imbibbed a minimum of 4 oz of fine single malt. Then, it makes sense! (Well, actually, everything makes sense except GUTB, but I think additional lubrication may be required for full understanding).

    No idea. We didn't talk philosophy. He was there with a bunch of doctors on a medical mission trip. He said he was traveling to villages with them just playing with kids and whatnot while they were treating medical needs.
