Annual Taschen sale going on. If you’re looking for fat, impressive books, to collect dust, now’s the time. https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/sale/all.htm

Had only seen clips. Plays a little differently in whole.

Maybe rename the thread "Blackwater"?

Testing if one is really the loneliest number?

Okay, consider this a recommendation coming from very low expectations, and I know they've been around awhile, but picked up one of those GE LED+ BR30 bulbs (battery backup, multi-color, or Bluetooth speaker extra "addition") with the speaker option and it isn't half bad. The surrounding can rattles a little with bass, and should be considered, but not the bulb's fault. I mean again have proper expectations (think of the same mono driver in a similar sized, cheap desktop speaker), but it's kinda cool if you have a use case. Anyone else using?

Is this where Bradley Cooper gets his technique?

Glad it was a good birthday and smart move going inland. Mel and Esmé went to Capitola after the clear and the beach was closed due to debris everywhere.

Hope it’s a grand one.

Sounds like the picked the right name for global warming caused "Arctic Zombie Fires".

Seems the Spotify hifi tier timing is still unknown (missed earlier stated EOY). https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Music-HiFi-Quality-Lossless-Streaming-16bit-44/idc-p/5324421#M238504

I'm not seeing any snow angels in these photos.

Okay, not a new idea, but Noveto is at CES this year, so perhaps closer to a real product. https://noveto.com

Congrats. Watching Mindless Consumerism thread.

I’m trying to approach 2022 less seriously, so starting the year with Wings. I mean Wing.

I don't know which of these 2022 will be, but here's hoping for the second.
