Isn’t Apple sourcing the screens for the X from LG? If so, the purchase of an X would by definition grant access to the HC LG OLED club.

Ken Burns' 10-part, 18-hour The Vietnam War begins to air this Sunday, so don't forget to set your DVRs! http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/home/ The early buzz is that it is outstanding. I'm more excited for it than I have been for anything on television this year. Soundtrack by Reznor and Atticus Ross should be interesting as well. - The New Yorker did a nice profile on Ken Burns ahead of the series premier that is also worth reading. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/09/04/ken-burns-american-canon

Happy birthday, JWM!

^ This! I am also a big fan.

So can Colin!

Gave a big speech at the rehearsal dinner for my sister's wedding last night. Boy, I have nothing but respect for you guys who have to get up in front of crowds all the time and speak. It is hard! Everyone said it went great, and I got a bunch of laughs, but despite all that it is hard not to feel like I could have done a better job. Maybe I'm just being to hard on myself. In any case, glad to have it behind me! Wedding tonight should be a blast.

"New" Neil Young? Sure, why not.

Oh noes! ?

If you haven't read it yet, and are in to philosophy, Ozgur, I HIGHLY recommend Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when you are ready to read something fictional. As a fellow philosophy fan, It is one of the handful of books I can honestly say changed my life. It is also a good one to read if you are ever feeling depressed.

^ Busy working on your Ph.D in philosophy?

I had never heard it before. So good.

^ They have been available new at or below that price since launch if one were to do a little bargaining. Maybe they've just run out of customers to buy at the 4k price point?

So I've been noticing recently that Tidal has been adding a lot more MQA/Masters albums. Do they sound better than regular lossess? Got me. They do, however, tend to have pretty decent mastering. It is worth scrolling through their landing page for the masters if you haven't in a while. Also cool: if they have one album from an artist in master odds are they will have the rest of their catalog in master either already up or on its way.

We’d be glad to have you!

Finally caught all the way up in Twin Peaks and I'm ready for the two-part finale this weekend. God damn I am going to miss this show when its over. It is the weirdest shit on TV. I fucking love it.

No questionably street-legal racing slicks, Grahame? Shame!

^ As Witcher 3 (together with its DLC) is my favorite game of all time, I'll be in for Cyberpunk without hesitation! I'm avoiding all trailers, write-ups, previews, etc as I'd rather experience the game as blind as possible at release. As for now, in addition to the usual diet of PUBG I've been playing the Destiny 2 PC Beta with @Grahame. It is outstanding, and I'll be looking forward to the full game coming out in late October. It is shocking how well the PC beta runs after playing a bit of the first Destiny on Playstation. Anyone interested in joining for cooperative shenanigans with the HC crew is more than welcome! Even @MexicanDragon can join in, provided he fixes his computer... it has been sitting idle and neglected since Brent broke it at the beginning of the summer.

Hang in there, Steve! So sorry to hear the news.

That was a lot more fun that I thought it would be. He may be a horrible human being but he is one HELL of an athlete.

Never say never! I never thought my old man would pass 500 bottles, let alone 1,500. Then he discovered wine auction sites...

In a goth kind of mood.

My Dad has roughly about 1,500 bottles now and he owns a number of these types of coolers. My advice is to get one with nice pull-out drawers. Think of it more as a way to display the bottles you really want to drink than as long term storage. A cool/dark basement is really all you need for long term storage and aging. These wine coolers are more of a luxury, but the ones with nice pull-out drawers are really nice for choosing what to drink. You can use them for aging wines, but they aren't really necessary for that purpose. Just my 2 cents.

Spec-tac-u-lar!

Seems appropriate for an ass-early drive down to Salem, OR to go witness certain celestial phenomena.

This guy does a great job with reviews. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/ Hope it helps!
