Schnitzel and spaetzel and a couple krauts with broccoli for good health.

You can't go stirring up shit on HF by asking logical questions like that. That behavior simply won't do!! Now remove those headbands and step in line!!!

Just adding yet another carbon build to the thread (crappy phone pics). 400v supplies rather than 450v allowed the caps to be board mounted in my chassis (though I am having some of Kevin's off-board PCBs made for a possible future 450v version). 400v also has the added benefit of running (slightly) cooler than the 450v version. Added the GRLV supplies but don't have a non-GRLV version to compare. But this amp is a true winner. Every time I listen to it I am awe struck at how good it is, particularly when compared to the T2 - they both have that ability to fool you into not realizing how loud you have cranked up the volume.

Many of us enjoy our pets and love animals. I make it a habit to support businesses that support my causes including animal welfare. A local business has a long history of donating to the local animal shelter/humane society. http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2016/10/bissell_hosts_local_animal_she.html#incart_river_home No disclaimer needed. Other than having clients that work there I have no vested interest in the company. Have one of their carpet cleaners which works as advertised. Something to consider when you purchase products that they make.

This is the true nasty woman! Fuck that cunt. False advertising at a minimum by this shelter and I bet they have money donated with no kill caveats etc. Bring her down and make it known this place is lying to donors.

start hers at 130 for 45 minutes, turn down to 110, add yours

I don't know that it looks better, but here is one I am working on wiring the computer to the various relays right now ... outside pics in a few days.

So I didn't tell this story, because it had me so upset. But now I need to vent and this seems like the thread to do that. For a few months now I've been feeding a Mother kitty, her four babies and the Father too. I have been making it a point to handle all of them and get them socialized. So about a week ago I called the new no kill shelter in my area, told her I had 4 weaned kittens and their Mom that need to find good homes. She came out that afternoon. I picked up three of the kittens and put them in her cage. She walked over to her truck, with the cage and started fiddling with something. I then noticed her giving them shots, and assumed it was vaccinations. Then I noticed that the kittens were not moving. I asked her what the shots were, and she told me she euthanized them. I started screaming at her, asking her what the fuck she did that for? She went ballistic on me and threatened to have me arrested. Then she told me to give her the Mother and the remaining kitten, to which I promptly told her to fuck off and get the fuck off of my driveway. She called the cops. The cops arrived and talked to her first, I could not hear them. Then they came and talked to me. I explained the situation, and explained that when I called I made clear that the kittens were social, weaned and needed to be placed in homes. The cops told me that I should not be feeding stray cats, and that I needed to give her the remaining cats. By this time I had put them in my motor home. I told them that there was no law against feeding stray cats, and if there was then they would need to arrest me, because I was not going to give that woman the other cats. They got a bit pushy with me, but I held my ground. My neighbor manages the park, and heard the loud voices. She backed me up and asked them to leave until they had a warrant for the cats. Here's the thing...This is supposed to be a NO KILL shelter, and they get their funding advertising as such. So I have been putting up flyers around town, telling people what occurred, and I think the shit may have hit the fan, because she was at my RV when I arrived home from work, screaming at me for telling people she killed the kittens. I got the manager, and she made her leave the park. This bitch has no clue who she fucked with! I will keep up my campaign until she's fired. I plan on protesting at the shelter on Saturday. I am also very disappointed in the local police. Sorry to rant, but I am so pissed off right now

The last post I wrote on HF several months ago was a genuine question, which was, " If sorbothane improves the SQ of Stax Earspeakers so much, then why hasn't Stax implemented the use of it ", to which that post was removed. After that happened I'd had enough of HF, and only go on now for to have a laugh at some of the crap that's posted there, also to reply to PM's I occasionally get.

Actually, we're just expecting a lot of new internet cat GIF's from all this But yes, several cat/animal lovers here!

Curse you Bjarne. Why couldn't you just leave me blissfully ignorant? *sticks fingers in ears* LALALALALAALAALALA TALK TO THE SZELL HAND

I can't even! The music is in my body! Caressing my DNA. How did i ever survive with a lowly, pleibian DL160? This is what being noble must sound like.

I need a new stylus

That is exactly the point. You can just break one open and check.

I wasn't thinking about the fat, to be honest. I can see that, but that's pretty picky! I'm assuming she prefers that the fat melts into the meat a bit more? This might make an interesting study, comparing beef fat to pectin. Pectin's melting point dramatically changes the way a vegetable feels in the mouth: it softens/dissolves at one temp, but at another temp, very close to that point, it turns to liquid and leaves the vegetable, It's why it's important to just get beyond that temp, when cooking vegetables sous vide. Otherwise you are poaching them.

I did something really good today. Actually me and my father. We have been feeding 20-25 street cats for 2 years. And for winter is coming we started to build a shelter for street cats. It has 10 room. We'll add more room/shelter later. Here are some pictures: If you have any suggestions for improvement, i gladly listen them. It is beneath the bubble wrap, which we are going to use for isolation. And we'll add fences around it so nothing can bother cats while they are sleeping/eating. And we'll add a roof made from rigid plastic for rain. Btw it is still useable as it is. Cats crawl under bubble wrap. I'll post finished pictures too.

What Mr Strelow needs here is an arc of sorb over his head from one ear to the other, and forget about the headphones. That way he can imagine just how good the music sounds without the problem of any mechanical cumbrances, Win-win, right there.....

They do rely on donations, and they advertise that they are a no kill shelter to get those donations. What really gets me is why? Why would you kill kittens that are social and easily adoptable? Why would she euthanize them in front of me? Had she waited until she got back to the shelter, I would never have known. Big, big, big mistake!

She isn't for any animal welfare. I think that title is deserved. What a cold cold person.

Well now that I'm starting to calm down, I do regret my name calling. I do not like to call anyone a bitch, but what she did was not only shocking, but completely against what she advertises. And that needs to be brought into the open. Oh, she's done in my book Al. She made the big mistake of giving me a mission. I don't know how many remember when Verizon messed with me, but that only made me determined to see it through, even though it took 11 nights on the phone, averaging 4 hours per night. And that was just over a new phone! This lady has no idea the lengths I will go to!

Very sad and most unfortunate that she didn't tell you what she was planning on doing so you could at least make an informed decision.

Social Media.....needs to be told......what a fucking bitch.....the web site actually says this in the header: "SPCA San Pat Country" and the byline "Building a future for the animals" Nice fucking future.....

If we'll be driving regularly I'm in for Forza.

I, too, would like the name of the shelter. I donate to a couple organizations that investigate and campaign against shit like this. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post the information publicly.

I'm assuming he's embarrassed for the committee, given that he's a hack of a poet. It's like Obama's peace prize. Boomers shouldn't be allowed to vote for anything.

I think your way of thinking is correct. At this point I can usually taste a piece of beef and tell if she'll like it based on the way it feels and the flavor profile. Luckily for me she's was less picky about who she fell in love with I have always shared my sous vide made meals with her etc so I've never done a truly rare steak at 120 or so like you are proposing, 127 was as low as I've gone and she ate about 3 bites. I generally eat rare at dinners. Maybe I'll try that when she's out of town on a work trip.

Better?

IMO it's fairly easy to build a nice case for this board without the need for standoffs.

Why would he want that?

"Limit your emotional affect, please" is going to be my new catch phrase.

I giggled when the Cure started.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Chalk......

Brown supremacy is what Grahame's eating, pictured above you.

Not busting my balls. Have meant to have a discussion of temperatures here anyway Yes 2 degrees. There is a textural difference that seems to occur in the fat breakdown. She notices.

Yes tender tender shoe leather

I feel good when i see people care about animals. And i feel happier after this message of yours. Good to know there are people in forum whom i can ask for advice when i need.

No pics but we had 129 deg 4 hour porterhouse seared in a grill pan and kale salad for dinner. It was awesome.

Want.

Then I won't create any unwanted harmonics when I drill it.

I think he should apply some sorbothane to this

Wow headphones without a headband...that is pure genius or utter delusion.

I keep coming back to this recording, nice reference recording in many ways and an odd performance in other ways. Before that, just the comment that if you like the music style, L'oiseau-Lyre has just some fantastically quiet vinyl, with tons of dynamics
