Actually yesterday. Had a flat tire on my way back home from cooking a stir fry with Al's Sister Rini, while the dogs played. I knew that the front tires were getting worn, but had no idea how bad they actually were. After jacking up the van and pulling the wheel off, the entire inside edge of the tire has steel belts poking through the rubber. Took the time to examine the other front tire, and I see shiny steel. So tomorrow morning I'm taking a few hours off work to get a new tire. I'm just hoping that I can make it to the tire store in San Rafael. Very nervous, as I now have no spare.

Looks like conventional armies are dead. Between Ukraine and Isreal's tactics, tanks have become deathtraps. Drones,shoulder fired weapons, and sneaky tricks seem to be the winning move. $$$ stuff like ships,aircraft and armor no longer mean success. If you can knock out a multimillion dollar aircraft or tank with a $50,000 shoulder weapon or a couple thousand dollar drone, all those big ticket defense contracts become worthless. The USMC has already made a big Change by phasing out tanks. Hard to say if the US army will follow suite. The same type of attack used to take out Iranian leaders and air defenses can be used against any country including ours. I'm pretty sure it's keeping people In high places awake at night.

I took a look at the datasheets, and their Vgs vs. Id transfer curves actually seem fairly similar in the linear region, so I think they should be directly swappable. But it's probably best to measure the Vgs your circuit runs the C2M at, and then check if that voltage still lands in the linear/controllable region for the C3M. That's my understanding for using them in something like the GRHV, though I haven't factored in the overall feedback loop behavior here. So not sure if I'm missing anything on that front. I have ordered a pair of C3M and have a Carbon on hand, A straight swapped can be easy. Will report it later.

RIP P. Adams Sitney, film scholar of the Avant-Garde “There’s in the art world in America now a deep hatred of the idea of originality and inspiration, a deep hatred of revelation,” he said in 2015. “There’s some ridiculous notion that art can be democratic. Art is the least democratic of all things!” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/movies/p-adams-sitney-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE8.tPES.7HF2tsiog1ch&smid=url-share

Holy shitballs! That Dream Academy cover gave me the chills! Thanks, Stretch! And thanks too for the Cowboy Junkies post. I lusted big time for Margo in those days.....glad I finally saw them live after many many years. The Sun Comes Up It's Tuesday Morning video is wonderful too (my favorite song by them, followed closely by 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel; two great noir-like narratives).

Totally. @cetoole has a 1030 with the Varia. Went R+L at first, but later went with the camera version. Definitely nice to have! Congrat again; that's so hot. Oh, how was the commute?

Kevin Gilmore's Amp Designs

It's been a while but I just wanted to say thanks. I am considering Spritzer's KGSSHV kit but a ton of the kit-excluded silicon parts are discontinued. Other things came up and slowed me down, now I am considering newer options like the carbon and maybe CFA-E, although the carbon has similar issues with part sourcing now it seems. Either way, this community seems to be the right place to look given the amount of documentation and focus on objective performance.
