Ah, I had been previously using anyDVD HD, but then they switched to RedFox and I didn’t feel comfortable paying for it again. Yet another reason to buy a Mac.

Wouldn't mind knowing what you're ripping DVDs with, I have some DVDs I'd like to get the audio off of (Riina Shingo...er...Ringo Sheena, some live concert DVDs, the Advanced Electronics series, etc.). Mine's a couple years old, but worked fine. Probably all the lubricant coalesced into one place due to lack of use, though. So will follow this thread to see what people recommend.

That's one of them Stephin Merritt projects, innit? I dig him. I've been glorying in Agusa all day -- just plain instrumental rock, with a very retro sound -- not really prog (but not really not), not really stoner, just rock, pure and simple. I mean, just listen to this: https://lasersedge.bandcamp.com/album/agusa-24-96-hi-res

I had a Rocklands food truck brisket beef sandwich for lunch earlier (forgot the leftovers) -- I think I just like caramelized meat. Now I'm going to have leftovers.

That's certainly not wrong, but that sounds more like a physiological term, I was trying to think of the psychoacoustic term, if that makes any sense. I know there's a relationship between the distance between your earholes and the ability to localize a frequency (which is why we only need one subwoofer as long as it does not generate any frequencies above that frequency), but I thought there was another name for it -- The ___ Frequency -- Oh, well, I may be almost remembering something wrong...yet again. I'll go with 'infrasound'. Thanks.

I forget, what's the name of that frequency at which we stop hearing a frequency, and start hearing the cycles themselves? I thought that frequency had a name.

I had some drunken noodles, garlic lover chicken, beef massaman (I think), and wings earlier this evening. It was DELICIOUS!

Sure sounds like a desktop.

I don't know why, but serious cat cracks me up.

Brightest Fell was excellent, might be my favourite Toby Daye yet. Labyrinth of Reflections is apparently the first book in a series...of which the rest has not been translated, which sucks, because my reading comprehension in Russian is next to nil. Started Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick...which is just as entertaining (so far) as she is on Twitter, so...very good, highly recommended. Apparently she reads the audible version herself, so I may actually have to get that...although I'm hearing it in her voice reading it, so it may not be necessary. Reading The Core (Peter V. Brett) from the library -- goddamn, this is good. Honest word. Will be checking out Oathbringer from the library next. Started reading Into the Drowning Deep which I won on Facebook (did I mention I won an ARC of a Mira Grant novel? I did.). Also finished Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, which was just as entertaining as everything else he's written.

It's a bit "busy", don't you think? Aye keed, aye keed...

The feature set/price ratio was good, though, so you're on the right track. I'm actually tempted to send this deal to my work's IT department, because they're so cheap, they won't even buy i7 machines for us, and I doubt they paid much less. I've never bought an HP, so wouldn't know. Dell, MSI, Lenovo, Asus, those are the brands I would stick with. Anyone with more recent knowledge should feel free to add to that list. A good way to check is to go to NewEgg's laptop chooser and sort by ratings...and then buy it elsewhere, because you never know when they're going to send you a coatrack instead of a GPS system, and then try and make you pay the restocking fee as well as return shipping..

Yello, Live in Berlin So groovy. On deck: Björk, Utopia and Yellow by Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder

Happy (possibly belated) birthday! (party favour noise)

My tastes have actually bifurcated since I started. I used to exclusively like smooth pleasant unoffensive -- Kilbeggan, Angel's Envy, Glenrothes -- I find all of these extremely easy drinking. But lately I've also enjoyed Smooth Ambler Contradiction, Whistle Pig (bespoke blend for Perfect Pour, but it's very similar to the 12 year old world cask finish; as well as the 10 year rye), and Hudson 4 Grain, but unfortunately my palate isn't developed enough that I can tell you what it is I like about them, just that they're not as smooth and inoffensive as the above. And there's a complicating factor -- some whiskeys give me a hangover, almost like an allergic reaction (same amount of whiskey, same hydration and food circumstances, so yes, I'm sure it's the whiskey). Birddog, in particular. Tasted fine going down, but I won't ever be drinking that again. Thanks for the offer, would love to hear some suggestions. And cheers and likewise to you and yours.

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise)

Happy belated birthday, Juan! (party favour noise)

Happy belated thanksgiving to you lot. I ate just a little too much, but I passed out as soon as I got home., just got up a little while ago. Cheers!

Yeah, I'll probably be making less than one BAI after that...

Because I barely make more than one BAI, need to be frugal.

My two favourite synthesized organs are: Prophet 5, patch 3-1, pipe organ flutes -- this is a really easy patch to get wrong, so trying to figure it out on your analog synthesizer of choice is a great exercise in learning synthesis link ...and the other end of the spectrum, Kurzweil's organ emulation in the K2x00 series, which is impossible to synthesize, sounds much more realistic, and is worth obtaining if you can.

HDTracks is having a 15%/20% with codes HD15GIVING/HD20GIVING (20% requires $50 or more). JH Audio is having typical sale with codes -- should I get the 13v2, 16v2, or other? I think I'm finally ready to get a set of custom IEMs.

How does one sort whisky?

Thanks will give that a listen. Stuck on Tindersticks right now, been listening to them almost exclusively for the last 36 hours...I've seen their albums before, but somehow missed listening to them.
