I would almost dare to say all even # Windows releases suck and most odd ones are decent. XP, 7, 8.1 were OK. Vista, 8, and 10 sucked ass royally.

Maybe megalomaniac Jobs hired exactly who he wanted: a stunted mechanic like Cook that would never actually supersede his own accomplishments, thus protecting Jobs' place in BS tech lore. Dude seemed self-obsessed enough that he'd make sure his children were buried with him. Well, not his actual children, because he didn't seem to care about them nearly as much.

MS is a typical big corp. No different than Apple.. How has MAC OS advanced in the recant years? I heard it is getting more dumbed down and iOS-like. https://www.zdnet.com/article/anonymous-msft-developer-admits-linux-is-faster-than-windows/

Scratch that; EU in 10 years make it mandatory to have a solar panel per household electrical equipment piece - then there is going to be no way around 'switching'.

If you want inefficiency visit the Brussels and Straatsburg. They still cannot decide on one location so they switch between these two. Also this is not about politics but idiocy regarding logistics and designing smooth processes. But no, the EU likes wasting resources while telling EU-citizens to pay their taxes. Rant over...

Depending on the current demand there Max be solutions:

Not every switcher is a bad switcher

You got your face scratched off, too? It made me think twice for a while.

^nope

Probably testosterone levels are on the decline

IEMW is people who have extensive experience with IEMs. All with different preferences with some overlap. This is necessary because random MOTs want me to review their wares. I am too busy, so I tell them to put up (send to these guys) or shut up.

BWC is my endeavor to promote good quality mid-bass from large drivers. Things that few young people have heard in a good setup in a home environment. I also want to promote "DIY" or Lego speakerbuilding.

If you wish to perceive of them as cliques, not my problem. They merely denote important functions. SBAF is a meritocracy. I don't want to be people's friends.

They renamed Houston Intercontinental to George Bush just like 4 years after H.W. was prez.

I just feel that getting something named after you while you are living is bad juju. Like a drain on your life essence, i.e. premature limp-dick, etc.

Honestly I believe that no airport should be named after you. If you're president it should be a named representative of the the country you represent.

Stay classy Los Angeles

I saw a great production of The Magic Flute at the LA Opera years ago. It was before this current one that everyone is raving about but I quite enjoyed it.

You need to go deeper, if you're not feeling the etys by the back of your tongue.

When you are doing deep insertion everyday it starts to mess with your head. You keep telling yourself that it satisfies your emotional needs, but after a while you realise that you are living a lie and that you actually need a little bit of romance in your life too.

When I see subjective reviews include X destroys Y or some variant, my internal bullshit meter pegs. Reviewer is unable to distinguish between personal preferences and comparison attributes, let alone understand that their personal preferences probably don't extrapolate to the universe.

Is Windows 10's bash shell any good, Elnrik? I usually use the bash that comes with git

"String-Select?" With, I suppose, the caps? Weird. I'd say it was Microsoftish, except I suspect many languages use this kind of terminology these days.

One of my jobs for tonight: discover how to search for text in PDFs. An early google tells me there is something called pdfgrep.

@monacelli - I don't use it, to be honest.

@E_Schaaf - I think I was more agreeing/teasing. That artist has been known for fusing black metal, baroque and breakcore, primarily. I was enjoying your description of baroque->metal mainly.

Cooling jets is good. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish real aggression against groups versus insane Hunter s Thompson hallucinations and hyperbole but point taken

@E_Schaaf
Check out metal bands like Sigh (their album Imaginary Sonicscape in particular), Sear Bliss, Code, Gorguts’ album Obscura, Sunn O))), Portal, Impetuous Ritual, Lurker of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Lugubrum, Stargazer, Septic Flesh, Godflesh, Jesu, Boris, Mitochondrion, Gridlink, etc.

Lemme know if there’s a particular genre of metal you like, and I can give you some “weird bands.”

In the end it wasn't big irrrrrnnnnn but a clock chain to Dixie that did him in.

I’m going to shorten it. In a grumpy mood and tired of people suggesting thousands of dollars make things more betterer

He was describing the best way to improve sound using 2 or 3 Mutec mc3+ in chain. IN CHAIN!!

Ask him if he can manage two. Hope you can get home soon Marv. My best to you and family.

After I watched the news and some clips, it happened so fast and nothing you can do if you get caught in there.

Im so glad that you didnt worry about those luxury stuffs and moved out safely.

Real fuckin' sorry to hear that. On the upside, Cap'n, you can always take to the sea and command a cruiser.

I know I’m late, but I sincerely hope you and your family are OK.

Be heavily involved in your kids lives and take action when they’re hurting about something. Young suicides are statistically increasing a lot.

That is so totally fucked. It sucks when anyone makes that decision, but a kid? I hope he gets help.
Also hope you're all OK with the fires.

I'm sorry to see this.

I was wondering about you guys.

I thought so for a second, then I figured a country joint, prolly not. Unless you're serious about that redneck mission.

Nope. Not into line dancing.

You're not special enough :)

Fire hit Oak Park, where I thought it would hit based on my use of the Force. Actually it was more the direction wind and my knowledge of the local hills from all that hiking. Was why I didn't want to leave and didn't believe the LA County semi-fake "mandatory" evacuation.

Probably freaked out by how fast it spread.
