doesn’t suck.

i ended up grabbing an Adcom GDA-700. the price was dirt cheap, it has the outputs i wanted, and it has all the old tech and sound i’m familiar with. no regrets.

Sorry, cannot Dew eet ... Because I already did it.

Genetics are not destiny. My Dad was a hardworking, thrifty and abstemious man and my Mom was a pillar of the Catholic church. QED.

Aw, condolences to Al and Claire and all who have met her.

Sorry for your loss Al & Claire all who have met Mae. Wonderful companion! Nitro & I wish her well as she crosses the Rainbow Bridge.

I've been trying to up my barista art game. I can do ribs semi-reliably. I should probably use fattier milk for better results.

As mandated, for legality purposes...

Sorry Al. Condolences to all of you. RIP Mae.

It's Friday. It's Five.

This one time at bandcamp...

Our Condolences to you all, Al, Claire and family. RIP Mae.

Excellent! And congratulations on your color matching prowess.

Beautiful

Wow!

Thanks Steve and Suzy. To make sure the permanent record is correct: Mae Eloise Bedecarre Ernst, March 29, 2008 to September 2, 2020. A wonderful and gentle companion who will be dearly missed. Good girl, Mae. Fuck 2020. And fuck cancer.

Aw, so sorry to hear....sympathies to Al, Claire, family, and you and Suzy too Steve! Our cat Tab has lung cancer, his days are numbered as well. Cancer sucks in ALL living things!

Yum, acidbasement! Infatuated with Onyx Coffee Labs offerings. They got a bit she-she with the packaging an unfortunately dropped the quantity included (looks like a Niemann Marcus offering...LOL), but boy the Kenya Rungeto Peaberry I'm drinking (Chemex drip brewed) is delumpsh. HS

I do, I was recently listening to Gone to Earth by David Sylvian and Sleeps with Fishes by Pieter Nooten. I was listening to energetic Yello as well as... mellow Yello.

Oh. So you are saying it is a Microsoft designed product?

If it's not New Yello, is it Old Yeller?

Evidently the MixPre does not stream to Audition to record so they recommended I try Reaper. .Holy Fuck, that software is like something that someone that has never seen a computer, heard a noise or breathed air designed it. Makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Off axis? Or perhaps he did?

Well, like Lemond said, it never gets easier, you just go faster...

Hello! I am going to try to build the Uber amplifier for Raal Sr1a. But Kevin said that What should be changed in the scheme to drive 0.2 ohm load better? Is it the last version ? Thanks in advance. uberamp2.pdf

That being said, I'm inclined to do another GB if there's enough interest. I've learned a bit and I know some other vendors I could work with. Plus I think it would be cool to have other colors besides just plain black.

it’s amazing how this training stuff works. i got back from my 15 mile ride this morning, feeling like it was a slow one and strava told me i’m getting faster.

The current crew. Rufus (black)runs things. Hugo Z Hackenbush (Maine Coon) is the baby and gets into just about everything. Molly (brown tabby) stays out their way

It's funny though. The Parsons Russell is said to play fetch until your arm falls off, and they're prone to chewing household items if not kept entertained. Suzy has 0 interest in fetching or even playing with a ball or stick. She prefers to tear the sqeakers out of plush toys. She has never chewed anything in my house, other than her own before mentioned plush toys. She does have the intelligence of the Parsons and the Border Collie. And the sweet disposition of the Bulldog.

Just got Suzy's DNA results. She is 0% Jack Russel. However she is between 37-74% Parsons Russell. I tend to think it's closer to 74%, as she looks exactly like many of the photos. She's also between 10-20% Border Collie and between 10-20% Bulldog. Who knew? She's a Border Bull Russell.

The reaction of the woman behind him, even with mask, is pretty funny

Does say something about residual value though, doesn't it?

I watched the new Bill and Ted movie and of course it's utterly ridiculous twaddle but it did give me a little warm flush of nostalgia.

RIP Tom Seaver, apparently had Dementia (the same type Robin Williams had) and COVID.....fuck both of those diseases! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/obituaries/tom-seaver-dead.html

That is awful. I have two friends in their 50s that are living through this. One has been through hell and back and is still here. The other went into remission for it to come back to the extent he has to wear a bag permanently. If ever there was a case for extending screening to those younger than 60, all these horrible examples would stand a much better fighting chance.

Well, THAT sucked. After much futzing (hours worth) I figured out the problem. In OS X speak "Mic access" means access ANY audio input devices. My laptop had a security burp (possibly brought on by an update, unsure) that revoked mic access to most of the apps that previously had it -- including mixlr. I eventually sorted out that problem, then got mixlr working with both of my audio devices. A casualty in all this was 3 years of show recordings. I have them backed up, but now I have to fish them off Time Machine, which will take several hours. /wrist as the kids say. Show will probably be on tomorrow night.
