No no, clearly the solution is to abandon your old HD800 and get the JAR800 that's being sold here...

Probably a good idea, but it is never going to happen. Even if they failed, I don't think I could justify replacing them. My audiogram says not. I changed expensive hobbies about six or seven years ago. It's photography kit now!

Or, this year... catching up with maintenance on my car, which has cost me an hd800 this month, and new tyres still remain outstanding. No more lenses or audio this year :/

... Just being there. For thirty years.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. 30 year vacation should do it

Thanks! I've done 21 years so far ... ... ...

It may be argued that prudence and the pursuit of better are often at odds to one another :P

It may indeed.

High imprudence may also keep a check on impudence levels.

And simple resistance is futile.

@Case, roaming paramilitaries makes me think more of the Hari Krishna guys in London: Buy our book OR ELSE. lol.

@wbass, it was a tiny shop back in my day. Are you old enough to remember Proops? Best shop in the street. Better than the hifi shops!

I remember for CanJam's NYC first year, I was walking past some Scientology guys trying to get people to come in. As I walked by and tried to ignore them, one of the guys grabbed my arm to get my attention. Looked at the guy with a big ole wtf you doing look and he let go.

Your lucky that he did not punch through your skull and grab you by the mind!

It was lousy. No singing, no dancing, no jokes, no drama.

Mind you, it obviously took guts to make it. It was my wife's endoscopy.

*rimshot*

LOL! Let me know: I'm going wherever they are going!

They say the music is never ending in Heaven which does sound kind of like a GD concert. :P

Oops, wrong thread

I remember a Sony DAP having a vinyl mode. Didn’t care for it. For that analog feel, Sony should just bring back the cassette Walkman.

I didn't mention clearly the model. I found this *thing* in the for-sale section of a local forum I used to frequent.

But would anybody care anyway: sounds utterly useless to me!

For the record...

Well, doggonit, it feels new to me, but yes, I must have watched those old Westerns, in my childhood, when they weren't that old.

I've never really liked the euphemisms like that. I feel more comfortable with calling a spade a spade etc. But I can't deny the poetic beauty of some of these

So basically... Yosemite Sam?

I believe they’re called “minced oaths”, originally created to avoid blasphemy. E.g. dang, heck, jeepers.

I may be sore at you over politics, but happy birthday anyway! And many more in decent or better health. You’re a pal. And that’s what counts.

Just a bit late but happy B-day man. All the best and many more.

Hope you had a great day celebrating completion of another orbit around the sun!

I said a dot. Not a spot.

Ohhh... OK... In fact it /was/ a vast, puss-filled boil. A true abscess. Pustulence personified.

Let us ponder the dot.

OK, here it is, ponder as much as you wish...

@Thad E Ginathom But can you use pasta in a neutral manner?

You can. You can simply eat it.

But this is all about violence, not neutrality.

@Jinxy245 "Pointed stick."

In that case, you'd need extra cheese.

...Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Wow, amazing. I liked it when I was a kid, haven't even thought about it for decades.

Thanks, @schiit

Tennyson called. Asking for his shoutout.

Thanks Alf :)

Sometimes it’s not a choice. Sometimes you get pushed and have to deal with it :(

@joch - took the words right out of my mouth!

Oh, wait...

<removes bits of masonry from teeth and tries the Pakoda>

Can never remember which of those words is which!

Onion pakoda again. It's on it's way. Oh *K* !

@Lyander It's been here some time. I hope it isn't ageing like me!

Have done a kernel upgrade today. Just a chance something might have been changed in the previous one.

otherwise it may just be a case of faecal matter.

@crenca "maybe the hub is not giving it enough amps"

I think that power supply might be part of the problem (in which case, the PC port which was powering it fine for a couple of years must have changed). I also think that one of my plugins might be.

Still hoping that it is not the Motu hardware.

"I'd like to try whatever it is you're having."

@Jinxy245: you have to mine it out of my brain cells!

I thought you were being figurative

I'm useless with figures!

Thanks.

I think one should say it from time to time.

static ssize_t write_null(struct file *file, const char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
return count;
}

I've always wanted to learn C, but it is probably never going to happen. Will have to settle for hobby level Python and shell scripts.

@Kernel Kurtz : this is both simple but also very useful. I've written some complex c programs with it. But it is one of the easiest to learn that I've found:
