I think everyone in SoCal got sick these holidays...

Sister was sick and I might have caught it from her. In the office, I hear a sniffle or cough or sneeze every few minutes.

Yeah my family got sick after Christams and I've had a scratchy throat/runny nose for a week.

When guts >> IQ200000

Looks like my new jeans absorbed most of the impact. Didn't know I was bleeding till I got home and took them off.

Hope at least you got some good chicken wings.

Was great kbbq,had a great time there.

Yikes. Yeah, I discovered while buying used speakers that part of the question process had to include "have the tweeters ever been pushed in?" I got lucky and found a mint pair of Dynaudio BM12A.

My kids love to do this. That's why I have metal grills over the drivers

Felt bad for the dad, the kid clearly didn't understand how poking a $15k speaker wasn't a good idea. Dad decided to call it a day pretty quick since his son didn't stop after pushing it a third time.

Think next I will try getting some set screws and lessen the tension the Audeze yokes have on the screw sockets as they were not meant for the Hifiman cans.

Also may need new pads, old pads look, feel and smell a bit.

Time to sell off the rest of your headphones and just keep the HE-6 :)

Really missed the HE-6, haven't really tried modding it so that may be next.

Maybe its time for me to throw in the towel when it comes to smartwatches.

Hopefully it will find a better home and someone in need can use it

did you at least go play chopsticks?

...Or he read this?

The plot thickens!

That is good to hear!

They generally send the location from where it was accessed and most of the time if you access it from new machine or IP you get such alert.

It feels lately like whack a mole with all my online accounts through so many different emails. This account is compromised or another security alert for something I haven't used in forever.

I found out few years ago Russians were using my Mega account and my Epic account. The biggest surprise was, I had an Epic account.

I think the power output is the same as the ZX300, but Android is a no go for me.

Wtf is the "vinyl processor"

Hahahaha. WM1A is better for a serious 1:1 music listening, the new DAP will be great for road warriors with plenty of Wi-Fi access.

Caught him, released him into the wild where he belongs.

So some bushes right next to our building. But still outside!

Where’s the pic?

The name is a generic white name, the guy on the phone had an Asian accent. Area code on the call doesn't match the address he provides.

Bad vibes.

Bwahaha.

Sell him the Bose... Envelpoe with a bose photocopy.

He thought someone bought tacos, left it at my desk and it was sitting there for an hour. He wanted to trash it before the ants got to it.

He apologized a lot and gave me some cash for food. When I came in today he joked, "Got a lunch for me to throw away today?"

@David De Lucena the hotel episode had me VERY leery of oysters from age 11 onwards.

You have a rule against "unattended food?"

What happens? Alarms go off, armed men rush in, disposal squads in hazmat suits?

while the loss of a lizard friend is disheartening, at least Mr Lizard is not immediately reincarnated as Jood or Curawongdong.

Sorry for your loss, @netforce. Condolences to you and your colleagues.

Did it chatter? We have geckos here that tch-tch-tch sound. I rather like it.

It was a quiet fellow. We would see him around the office every once and a while and then run away.

Nice! Don't let anyone see you wearing them or you'll be sexless forevermore

The first guy, we told him we would need to see his CC and ID when we dropped off the tv and then he whipped out excuses and dodged calls. Guess is that it was a stolen CC.

The call today, most likely a stolen CC but could be his CC and claim he never received the items.

One of my bosses fell for a big Tv scam one year and got a bunch of tvs dropshipped and it was sent to a fake address. The guy claimed he never received it and made off with $50k+ of Tvs.

I’ve got to go to my credit union for the 4th time to get a new debit card in 5 years. Some a-hole charged a airline ticket to Budapest on my card. It was a fake of my card. My card is in my wallet, and is a chip version. Got a letter from Experian last week letting us know our credit info was part of the data breach. Free credit monitoring for 10 years. B.F.D. They don’t give a shit.

Once a year is not bad if it is ok between failures. You seem to be having a tough time with AC recently!

Heat wave and then all the AC goes out. It is life.

Same here. Sunny office, no AC.

We get 40C-plus where I live; in fact most days are over 30C. But, at least for those that can afford it, we are set up with AC machines in our homes. Thinking about the people in France who are getting 40-45C (104-113F) who can't escape to cool homes. Must be horrible.

(I meant to post that on next profile post. Never mind: roughly same topic!)

Lol no worries.

Geez, thanks for the heads up, Senn.
