Not Biscuits

Congrats to the OKC Thunder, but I think basketball fans all over the world feel like we got robbed. One of the more magical Cinderella-type runs the NBA has ever seen ended in tradgedy. Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana's best player, went down with an achilles injury 7 mintues in to the game. The Pacers did their best to fight, but without their star it felt like Indy eventually wore down. That injury is one of the worst in sports and likely will cost Haliburton the entire upcoming season. The post game mood on all the shows I watch is totally dour.

Oof. Good point.

This works too: ======================= CONCLUSION ======================= Ultimately, the question comes down to regime change in Iran [the USA]. Short of that, Iran [Trump] will renew its [his] quest for nuclear weapons [against citizens] -- though it will take years and still won't work. Achieving regime change in Iran [the USA] is a tall order, however. Frankly, it is beyond reach in military terms.

I mean seriously, what else could go wrong? Also, it's strawberry season so shortcake is on the menu for dessert.

Not sure I disagree with this. I mean, I still hate Trump, but at least no-one in NATO is going to go to war to defend Iran.

The current world is so similar to pre WW2 era world. Bunch of crazy people elected using populism and false promises. They are getting crazier day by day. They polarise their own people by praising some of them and declaring others as unwanted. Warmongers manipulate them by using their egos. This shit is derailing so fast I wish there are some "hidden agendas". This shit is going south so fast.

I do find that interesting as the commercially available electrostatic headphones in China are not as forward sounding as modern Stax, EH1, Q1, Q2 and naturally the King Sound models. It will be fun compare them as they might be trying to fix issues with the drivers with the earpads.

There's a web comic called beanytuesday. Way back in 2018 (almost 7 years ago to the day), he did a series of intentionally poorly drawn 2018 election candidates. One of them has had an enduring legacy. No, not ol' Hills. Gen Z loves to meme this one. It's newly relevant.

I misread that as Israel attacked Lebanon News organization, Al Jazeera... I mean, c'mon, Israel, journalists are not the enemy!

Many audiophiles in China can't stand the warm bass and dark tone of OG 007, then some people replace the OG 007 earpads with kennerton thror earpads to make 007 sound more transparent and neutral. The Japanese official website says that 007s earpads are sound absorbing, which improves quietness and refine the sound...It also looks like a reverse operation for current stax tuning but stax did it themselves, this makes thror 007 VS 007s very interesting... And according to my experience in making earpads, the use of different cloth on the inside of the earpads will warm the tone, although to different extents, so I'm also curious, if 009/009s are replaced with 007s earpads, will it alleviate some wonky or bright problems and make the sound more natural.

On the Summer Solstice, the people of Larkspur did gather (in what seemed to be a wind tunnel) And Funk Nugget brought The Funk And the people did Boogie-oogie-oogie. And it was good.

Where It All Begins by The Allman Brothers Band (1994) https://album.link/mdpnmkzjtgzb7 Example: I am not sure I knew this existed, much less that it was really good. A great set of guitar forward tunes.

^^ good reminder that I liked that Album and need to add it to my queue again... thx

You’re not wrong. One of the things I liked about estats was that cable rolling wasn’t a thing.

Today is the 50th anniversary of Jaws. It's kind of a big deal around here.

Nice way to boost the sales of the L500mk2 and L700mk2 cables.🤣
