Very Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Andrew/Stretch! How was my prompting?

Happy birthday. We love you.

Wishing you a 'tall' tequila day Happy birthday Stretch. Cheers

Not sure why I added this to my queue. I must have stumbled on to it and had a clue that it might be worth checking out. I knew nothing about the band or album at all when I first listened. It came out in 2015 and is refreshingly good. I'll be listening to this more. It's quite possible that everyone already knew about this a decade ago, and I was just oblivious as usual. ex.

Happy Birthday Tall Man!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Andrew! Have a great one.

Happy Birthday Stretch! Hope it's not too hot in hotlanta!

Too much? Oh well, hope your birthday is awesome anyway! Cheers!

Installed IPad OS 26 yesterday. I was expecting more and better. There are some improvements that I like, but things that are keeping my iPad Pro to behave as an OsX Mac aren’t there yet.

The Ars Technica review of macOS 26 Tahoe - Liquid Glass looks redundant and obtrusive, nothing else seems to be a must-have yet, probably the last version to support Intel Macs: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/09/macos-26-tahoe-the-ars-technica-review/

RIP to the legend. I loved The Sting as a 10 year old moviegoer, although it was eclipsed by Paper Moon which came out that year too because I kinda crushed on Tatum O'Neal who who was also 10 at the time.

RIP Robert Redford https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/movies/robert-redford-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.mU8.U8U2.n5tnEXrpAu5P&smid=url-share (gift article)

I can second this

Took a walk. Found falling water.

I hear Lush and Slowdive, myself. But...yeah...(gets all dreamy eyed)...love that melodic harmonic wall of noise. Pure bliss. ...or did you mean the movie? LOL. I didn't watch the video until just now, just listened to the music.

I'm glad you survived. I hope you never disappear completely in my lifetime.

The Hifiman plug has to be treated with the same number of fucks they usually give any of the products... fuck all. They are still using that fucking spacer as the pins are too long even on the Shagri-la mini... it would probably completely bankrupt Hifiman if they had to pay for a single new mold and find some new pins... The real measurement might be on the original SR1, SR2 and SR3 plugs as I believe they are the originals off the shelf part from Sato Parts that Stax simply bought in.

if you take one of the cooper male and stick it into a real stax manufactured socket, you will find the fit extremely tight and you cant stick the plug all the way in. eventually the stax socket cracks. (queue steve) my document was created with a real stax plug (actually a few of them) and a very high resolution optical comparator. but 11.05 seems an odd number. Likely the original spec somewhere inside stax is 11.00 mm. makes the most sense. the optical comparator read everything out as X and Y which is why the conversion that should be perfect (to at least 4 digits) maybe not so perfect.

Nothing wrong with LCSC, I use them all the time for some hard to find parts.
