I have only briefly used a colleague's Air 2 S, but will just put out there that I have seen deals on the Mini 3 that would make more sense than getting a Mini 2 SE, especially if features and image quality are important. If you are just trying to fly something, there are cheaper alternatives that won't hurt as bad if you crash.

Epic thread smash ? I admit I'm not on here as often so I guessed I missed it. Also caute is banned now lol ?

Saw a Taycan on the road here for the first time the other day. Thought it was a Panamera till I noticed it had no exhaust pipes. I'd rather have a 911 personally, but in reality I will never own either.

911s are now like Rolex sport watches - lucky if they let you buy one (waitlists) especially if new to the brand. But I'm with you.

as someone currently cross shopping 911s and Taycans, I can say the decision isn't so easy haha

It's good to be the king...again!

Oh, it looks fantastic. A lot of good sets coming up.

This is why you need to learn from YMO and evolve beyond being a mere human. Be one with the poop.

Don't underestimate its value: https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Your-Poo-Telling-You/dp/0811857824

eek. Apparently Britain has a TV series at the moment. Another reason not to go there.

If youre going to carry the knife then ime nothing beats Spyderco FRN knives like Delica. Lightweight and thin. Lockback is super secure. FRN texture super grippy.

Fun experiment testing lock strengths. Lock mechanism ease of unintentionally unlocking should also be considered.:

Oh man- time to study Lithium Ion batteries. Haha. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/

Keep an eye out for Usual Suspects Network. Right now they are down migrating servers or something....

I just picked up a Muyshondt Beagle. Flashlights have come a long way in the last 5 years.

His longer full-length videos, some killer covers: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElEsteparioSiberiano/videos

yup, this dude is very talented. Do you know Eloy Casagrande? I've been following him since he won the modern drummer young drummer contest at 14 years old. He kind of reminds me of this fella, though different in his own way.

Thankfully our state university (Maryland) is pretty good and has a competitive Biology program. She's fine with that and understands finances will dictate final choice. But if she receives a generous aid package that doesn't involve much future debt, would love to give her the opportunity to experience a smaller research-oriented school around a large city.

Identity and social context are too easy to abuse these days. Hard work and emancipation are often skipped in favour of claiming some kind of unfairness. Instead of learning from history we get cancel-culture because "unfair = cancel" and context is thrown out. The last 70 years the world changed faster than most people realised.

@rott, Thank God it's College Park, and not in "Bal'mor, hun!"

Thinking of getting a real USB mic to use in place of the puck supplied with the Onkyo, lots of reading/watching to do in order to learn how the app (using MacOS) should be used for adjusting frequencies.

Umik-1 is great, comes with calibration files for 0 and 90 degrees. You’re right there is a learning curve, the mic and a proper stand helps a ton though.

I have had good success with the Storm Audio microphone placement suggestions. Also remember to apply some house curve to test what works best in your room. NAD has one, Storm too.

Big fan!

Time to check out le ́efant sauvage, that’s their crowning achievement imo. Magma was when I started losing interest

They are the Slayer of the 21st century with better sound quality live and on recordings. If I can justify it, some day I will return to the mosh-pit for their music.

The Swatch x Omega watch looks cool.

Although I heard stores got packed because of it

Same boat right now - unexpected taxes demolished my fun fund and I have to decide between a watch or headphones for my next fun purchase.

What is your go to Thai food? I like some of the vegan stuff, but I liked the coconut glass noddles, and drunken noodles. anything between minty and basil.

SBAF, my source for breaking news. Found out before my friend in NYC :P

@Gazny For basil flavor I like pad kra pow. So many great Thai dishes though. All the curries, chicken with cashews, khao soi, the classic pad thai, fresh spring rolls, all great. I miss Thailand!

Hahaha, I was just looking at that last night. Wanna watch the synth episode.

Certain 2009 mono remasters are only available in the Beatles in Mono boxset (those not in the U.S. Albums boxset). You can still find individual 2009 stereo remasters. I purchased Let It Be (2009) new from Target recently to have a backup. Abbey Road (2009) from Amazon too, but the printing on the digipack is blurry so wonder if it's counterfeit. Have a replacement on the way to confirm. Be careful of counterfeits!

I realize you already bought the US albums box set, but I thought I should warn you that The Beatles were not involved with the creation and sequencing of the US versions of their albums until Sgt. Pepper when the UK track list became the default worldwide.

So while there is a lot of good music in the US albums set, it’s a total mishmash with songs from different albums thrown together, singles added in wherever. The music is all good but it’s not the way The Beatles intended it all to be heard.

It was on Comedy Central back in the day. Late 90's.

Used to watch it with my dad when I was a kid (yeah…mom did not approve) but I used to laugh all the same.

according to my mom, she loved when Benny Hill was on when I was a baby 'cause it was the only thing that would shut me up.
