Qildail

If you get out of the Jacksonville Airport where I am at, I'll come up from Palm Coast and I'll be waiting for you shirtless near your gate with hugs.

I'll be offering handshakes at my touchphobics' booth. Or the special of the day: a distant wave :)

"reflects"? Something to do with the finish?

The buttons are vampires or related evil spirits.

My friend was disappointed it got good reviews because she wanted it to be high camp trash

Think the ads making it as some sort of action flick when it was about photo journalism.

@penguins Very much real. It’s a billing service for ambulances, as ambulances are privatized in this county. Bill breakdown matched the insurance claim exactly.

And yep, @AlPastor, county EMS billed us too.

Guess they just decided to use a scammy sounding name.

I questioned it because just before your status update I read an article about how there's also a lot of medical fraud now with fake billing. Some are much more believe-able now when they're able to (illegally) access data en masse due to records, bills, etc being digital now.

All good, mate. It sounded completely sketch to me as well until I went through the detail billing. That's part of my exasperation with the whole thing... felt like medical billing crossed over to overnight infomercials.

one thing I've read/heard w/ regards to ticks and pops on vinyl that seems to make sense to my lizard brain is that they're more a detriment on systems that lack dynamic ability somewhere in the chain. Thought being a tick or pop is much more noticeable when a gain stage goes into clipping or otherwise has bad transient response overshoot.

given such small voltages, a mishandling of transient information can get amplified and sound pretty offensive pretty easily.

"ticks and pops ... more a detriment on systems that lack dynamic ability somewhere in the chain."

I don't think so, although I'm far from sure. I used to record bad albums to cassette. The *lesser* dr of tape took a little of the pain away. Although the greater benefit was not having to think of the stylus!

You single? Wink wink*. /j
We all have our escapes and I wish mine were as productive. Hope you have happier reasons for both.

So in true DMC fashion, it'll have "150" in the name, but only ship with 80w or so.

I really don’t see the DeLorean in that design…

Just be careful not to crank it up to 88 dB

Those are dad-reflexes, or a derivative of.

I have the ability to finish what my kids won’t eat

I’ve had to do that. The hard thing for me was feeling angry in general because I had to be responsible for so many more of the mundane things. What got me through it was repeatedly reminding myself, “Let it go”: to do all those things without becoming resentful. In any case, I wish you well.

For me, accepting the reality of the situation was the critical step towards not wasting time and energy. You have my sympathy.

major empathy here. I've been with my GF for almost 9 years now and her dad still doesn't remember my name, or Tucker's, or now Johnny's. And that's completly inconsequential stuff, by a long shot. the big stuff is a gut punch every couple days. Like not remembering that his son was killed by police in 2018.

DS gungnir?

Bought a GS2, but it's been acting weird since I racked it, so it's on its way back to California. I had to move Gungnir MB back into the main system until Yggdrasil finds it way back.

More disappointed than annoyed.

What was acting funny with it?

Woof woof, bow wow

Yup. Have to ask yourself "if this got lost is it OK?"

@roshambo123 That and "am I okay with this thing bouncing around an effing truck for ten days?". No permanent harm - I'm just annoyed with myself.

I can tell you, after shipping lots of packages, ship like you expect it get damaged. Can't overpack enough sometimes. Dealing with tens of thousands in damaged shipments from the holidays, the claims process is beyond terrible

Till the power goes down, and you have to warm it up for two weeks.

DimLight that shit

@Vansen I'm sure the Milwaukee bags are nice... but wouldn't some zippered pencil cases be much cheaper? Feels like the Milwaukee are overkill for cables.

Good point. Zipper pouches from brand names are twice the cost for pencils. Generic are 1/2 to 2/3 the cost. For the extra $4, I’ll pay for something that lasts my life and can be used for tools. (I get them for 23 USD for 3 at Ace) (HW store is 1/2 a mile and I’m always there)

Back on topic for headphone cable management. This is how I manage mine. Coil up the cable and hang it. Took photo for another reason, but best I have. https://i.imgur.com/HGepnTK.jpeg

Same to you friendo! Happy Holidays to all at SBAF.

Peace to All
