Speaking of shitholes, I got dragged to the worst strip club in the world today during a corporate farewell. Sad, fat Bulgarian girls with mustaches and maybe three teeth between the entire English van driver clientele. I am permanently less horny for having ever darkened their door.

I swear to Christ, Stretch, your stories are the best.

It's nature, it's going to happen. You're doing so much, don't beat yourself up. BTW I'll be back protesting tomorrow. Last weekend 8 others showed up to protest. The lady called the cops, but the cops told her we we're not breaking any laws. The cop did ask me "What's the point?" WTF? I just replied "Life is the point".

Hrm...I prefer the HD600 to the HD650 by a small margin...but I need fewer headphones not more...fewer headphones not more...fewer headphones not more...

Srsly this woman has mad skills. Also, she's 21 years old.

My carbon steel wok. Can't even remember how I seasoned it originally - it was ten or even fifteen years back. I just rinse with a sponge, dry and wipe over with some oil.

No, I see what they're doing. If it turns out that you're unable to use usb devices and the internet at the same time is an actual problem with the new macbooks and it's unrelated to 3rd party adapters, I'll buy brent biscuits.

Arise, Zombie thread!

I'm picking up my second amp from Doug tomorrow personally at an LA meet. I can't wait to see how she turned out.

Sounds like my kind of dive. Hopefully the beers were piss warm.

Some cool isolated vocal videos from a loop vendor. If you can't make it through all of them, be sure and watch the 2 Queen videos at the end. Reminds you what a tragedy the loss of FM was! http://www.thelooploft.com/blogs/ryans-corner/12-amazing-isolated-vocal-tracks?utm_campaign=12+Isolated+Vocal+Tracks+(uPFpy5)&utm_medium=email&_ke=Y3Nrb3RvQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D&utm_source=Engaged+Segment+(4+Months)

Agreed with Penelopez... for me: HD600 > HD650 > K501 > K601 > K701 >>> T1 >>(near here is the cutoff where headphones need to be hurled into the sun)>>>>>>>>>>>> DT990 > DT770 > K240 Sextetts > Grado GS1000/PS1000 > any Ultrasones. That Beyer treble is a real killer And now I'm just going to unsee this thread to keep from getting in on the Massdrop. Good luck, Dusty

It would appear, in regards to Sony being a very prolific manufacturer of copious quantities of untold varieties of variegated headphones that it would be prudent to ascertain the most plausible choice of model and type from the Sony website by studiously and fastidiously going over the plethora of offerings contained there with a fine-toothed comb until you are psychologically and mentally assured that the resultant choice is in very fact the best offering for your intended usage. It then behooves you to find a place of audition and commerce where you can truly verify that your choice is indeed the most suitable one for you. You need to compare the prospective purchase with all the other relevant offerings by Sony to augment the decision that your choice is most appropriate. The next most necessary step is to go to the Sennheiser site and repeat the process and then compare the result with the previous model of choice from Sony. Once a choice from both Sony and Sennheiser has been determined, you need to compare the choice with the offerings from Koss, AKG, beyerdynamic, etc., until there is a sole survivor left. By the time you have done all this due diligence you will discover that Sony and Sennheiser have updated their model ranges, so you need to repeat the procedure with all the previous manufacturers all over again. Or, you could just find the cheapest headphone that grabs your attention and purchase said item. Here, it is of utmost importance that you do NOT attempt to use these headphones as the most assured buyer's remorse will set in and it will turn you off any further headphone purchases. The better solution would be to go through the previous tedious process to ascertain a viable back-up pair that you will know do not sound better than your first choice. so that how it sounds will not be an impediment to you enjoyment of them. The next step is to join Head-Fi and rave continuously about the fact that these headphones are the greatest sonic transducers since the invention of sound reproduction. You can then conduct numerous experiments to modify them. New cables, different earpads, Sorbothane patches, bluetack, different grills or cups, different drivers, etc, etc, ad hoc, ad addendum, ad nauseum, ad astra, ad infinitum. And, dont forget to mention how well they scale up when used in a balanced configuration. The sonic world is your oyster, sic 'em dude........

I seasoned the bottom of my carbon steel pan, and now it slides around on the stove once it gets hot. I should probably strip and re-season it.

Plus they're awful! Like getting fucked in the ear with a dog dick. The PS-1s on the other hand I covet, as you know.

I don't think I would ever let go of my PS-1s.

Brent can be a pain in the ass but I'm not sure I would call him a shithole.

Arrived in London to find that my hotel is in a neighborhood called Brent. Therefore I am just locking myself in my hotel room as I have to assume this is the worst neighborhood on the planet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just catching up after a few days away, and am just reeling. Go for her jugular Steve - bring her as low as low can go. PS we get our cats from https://www.bluecross.org.uk/oxfordshire-burford-rehoming-centre , and fortunately these are the good guys. They give you a verbal third degree to make sure that you are the kind of person who can be trusted with a cat or dog from them.

There are two five star posters - Stretch and Tice. Their one-liners crack me up to expelling beverages through the nostrils.

The mind reels.

This new gem from Tiny Desk today... Joseph. ... album ordered...

So you found a pan with the same traits as you... live with it. Heck, enjoy it even.

With the exception of the K340 between the HD650 and K501, I concur.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that maybe the usb-c adapter might be the culprit?

The Beyer T1? It stinks, even compared to the K701

He would be one of the few who makes Kris Kristofferson sound melodious and professional. His greatest mistake was that when his mother said he could sing. He misunderstood the permission to sing as being capable of holding a tune......

The whole interior surface of the pan should be seasoned prior to use, in my opinion. A little oil on the bottom isn't going to hurt, but don't season the bottom. A little soap and a soft sponge isn't going to hurt the seasoning, btw, Mike.

From the condensed list of "Comments you will never see in a 6 Moons review" - number 53.

Watch the video, she espouses a convincing argument for seasoning the entire pan, not just the cooking area. I'd be curious if anyone else would be convinced. I'm also curious if it's a bad idea to coat the pan with oil -- which is flammable, neh? -- on the flame side at all, since she never addresses the issue.

The weird scuffling blue robot was someone in a tachikoma/logicoma cosplay costume, on their hands and feet, which, if you watch it in reverse and change the costume to something far darker, glossier, and dripping with K-Y jelly, is how they tried to do the alien special effects, if you've seen the outtakes. It ended up looking like someone walking on their hands and feet, which is why they ended up not going with it. I thought the cosplay a bit better. Compare:

For those of you on the Forza fence, just saw this in my twitter feed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/forza-horizon-3-demo/9nblggh52th6

Buy Dusty's pair. (Of PS-1s, not dog dick fuckers).

I'd intended to post this a lot earlier after the weird scuffling blue robot.

why not to try wireless indeed. The hifiman he1000 to try wireless is no much in why do.

Believe it or not, they're all straight. Yep, hard to wrap your mind around I know.

I'm OK with those that don't vote. That is as long as they shut the fuck up when the elected individual does something they don't like. No vote, no opinion!

I remember my first touch based interface. It was way back in the 70's. I think they called it a clitoris. I never got very good with it.

Lasagna for board game night.
