Biking man, just stepping on my bike and going places. Sometimes people forget the how important it is to immerse yourself in your surroundings and just let go of your ego.

For me it had been archery, concentrating on the shot makes everything go away. And more recently out on photography walks/hikes.

Golf for me! Which I miss in the winter... but yes getting outside and focusing on a sole item is therapeutic.

I think he is welcome back whenever he wants. He left of his own choosing.

Ehh, sometimes dudes have to let some steam out and take time out! He'll be back.

People come, people go. I do not delete accounts, but did so out of respect for JK47 and his contributions. People leave at a point when they go into speaker world. He had some pretty good stuff and nailed down what he liked. He will be missed.

"Where is my mind" playing in the end. Epic.

I enjoyed the movie and also think the book is worth your time. Chuck Palhunik has a way with words I find intriguing.

My parents didnt like it as much as me and my sister. They couldent seem to get why anyone would join the fight club in the first place. Or why anyone was doings the things they were. Maybe its an age thing, or the fact that they have long since settled down into society, idk.

Have you got a steam cleaner? Might be a good idea for old includents-rodent-residue stuff

Add a nice Hanzo sword and you will be in Kill Bill 3.

I saw this recently as well and pretty skeptical about it. It uses a class G amp which is interesting, and it looks pretty awesome in the promo pics, but we’ll see...

They also announced a 75th Anniversary Edition of the L100:

I wish I had space for a pair of L100s!

I like the look of those new anniversary ones, definitely.

The P-I blog post is pretty long at this point, with lots of points-of-view and mostly respectful, reasoned discussion.

It's pretty refreshing to be able to find that anywhere these days.

I think the difference here is that people are thoughtful, tend to reason about things, don't expect others to think exactly like them, and don't shit on others for having a differing opinion.

…and then I see the JK47 convo.

Oof.

Changstar was a bigger minefield. With age and experience you learn to focus more on what works rather than what sounds good. Without history we will never learn...

I prefer the Fish years as well, but still enjoy the later stuff. Don't have any of his solo stuff though. Not sure why, I should, but it is on my list now.

Also, the bass in Heart of Lothian is one of my go-to subwoofer tests :-)

Glad I ripped the 1980's CD of Misplaced Childhood. I need to get some of Fish's solo stuff.

It makes me sad that we have to deal with the loudness war still.

Ate one and... Not good. Kinda weird. Kinda tasted like a hit from an ashed bong...

The boxes kinda look like the boxes that Nespresso capsules come in.

"Animal Crossing"?

"Centipede"?

I wish their earpads were just a tad bigger. For normal ear sizes I'm sure they're great. :) HD800/S have been the most comfortable for me. If only they sounded like Utopia.

That’s another reason for why I stick to them and not spend more on headphones. They’re light, comfortable, and sound amazing with tube amps.

"It is the way"

2006 had some good movies. Pan's Labyrinth and Last King of Scotland are worth watching too.

Such a good movie!! The shot of them waking down the stairs with all the soldiers suddenly silent and still all taken in one shot is one of my favorite shots in all of modern cinema. I love long shots like that. So hard to do.

Yeah, that was such a powerfull shot. I can imagine how long the single shot action sequences took to get right too.

Extra shock resistant for extreme drifting, extra JDM because hot like fresh wasabi...

The Kate Bush one, composed by Kate Bush sounds like a comprehensive story. Also the bonus track is one of my favourites...

The best Bob Dylan songs/albums were recorded by someone else anyway

...Preferably, The Band :)

^TL;DR - Good luck even breaking 40fps even at 1440p if you don’t have a $1500 GPU.

Man, that's brutal. Times like these I'm glad I use a 1080p hi-hz display. A 2060 keeps that fed at ~85-90fps with psycho SSR and a lot of the other heavier settings at high or medium. DLSS quality saves it from starting to lag under 60 and it even looks more natural in some ways.

But that makes me think 1440p is doable. RT would be pushing it. And it's just like last time, even with the new cards RTX doesn't keep up at 4k. Can't say I'm surprised at this point. Nvidia really does have you by the balls on this one.

Hibiki is so good. Enjoy! Nikka Coffey Grain is also a nice choice.

I like most of the Nikka's. The straight from the barrel is the most intense, coffee grain is good too, and the Taketsuru is mild and super drinkable.

Haven't had a chance to try to Hibiki, but had bottles of both the Hakashu and Chita a few years back and enjoyed both. Price/quality ratio on both was strong
