You said in your first post this is vinyl -- another possibility is physical feedback -- if the music is loud enough at the needle, it changes the frequency response characteristics, most notably by an annoying midbass bloom. (I actually think it's a function of distance . )

Oh, I suspected that. I grew up back then. That wasn't what I was asking. By way of analogy, I have a friend who listens to mostly prog and and power metal...and Madonna. ("It's a gay thing, you wouldn't understand," he says...)

Wish I could play along, but all I've found is the Original Jazz Classics Remastered version. Bass sounds fine. Sounds like a room node or other resonance, just from your verbal description.

Are you trying to gay up this thread? NTTWWT...* Naught that there's wrong with that Me: Fire Garden, Far and Near

Cynic, Carbon Based Anatomy

Which one is that, by the way?

Yeah , I would totally be interested in an answer to this as well .

So say we all.

Killed by Deathrock, Vol. 1

Isn't it ? Works for me .

It's not one timeline. As far as I can tell, there's three separate timelines: Ghost in the Shell/Innocence; Stand-Alone Complex/Solid State Society; and Arise/the New Movie. No, seriously, this may be the biggest spoiler I've ever spoiler tagged, so don't unspoiler-tag this unless you really really want to know: Best not to put too much thought into it, and just enjoy the sweet sweet beautiful visuals. PS Just finished it -- fucking glorious.

Ghost in the Shell: the New Movie (done by the same director who did the ...Arise... miniseries) -- this is great. Although, why couldn't they give it a more creative subtitle -- Arisen? Arise-er-er?. Favourite exchange so far: Togusa: If his body's dead, his Ghost dies with it. Logicoma 6A: Well that's just poor design! (Yes, ( a ) the tachikomas are back, and ( b ) they're called logicomas for some reason. ( c ) (unrelated) I'm going to use the analogy, "that's like explaining death to a logicoma".) Favourite subtitles (in rapid sequence, so you only see one character changing): [SOLDIER 6B gasps] [SOLDIER 6A gasps] [SOLDIER 6D gasps] [SOLDIER 6C gasps]

Yeezh.

Thanks, guys. It comes and goes. And goes. And goes... I think I'm going to skip tonight's so I can get a full night's sleep.

+ brownie points for using "talk its foot off the gas pedal" instead of "take its foot off the gas pedal". Damn. Extra nudity this week. I might have to watch this episode again when I'm less tired, try to pick up on the nuances. I was ...uh... distracted. I wonder what that player piano song that was playing ultra fast was after he snapped his fingers.. I might have to sample it and slow it down, see if I recognize it.

Well I didn't. I had to look up neutron star and spot that it's diameter is approx. 30km. I thought they just left off the primary measurement. And/or expected us to just figure out what that was based on the math that was previously presented (because "intuitively obvious"...not). And: exactly.

The funny thing is, they didn't even mean "standard deviation of 20 km", they meant "approximately 20km".

All I saw in my feed. Lollers. My immediate first thought was to response with, "I love the sound of breaking glass..." I love power pop.

I think Larry Atkinson uses laser interferometry.

I'd be curious if you agreed with her on everything. For example, she suggests that you turn your oven on as high as it can go when seasoning the pan.

Yes, but need to take care of my allergies and my other health issues (sleep apnea, etc.) first, just in case they change things, I don't want to have to upgrade them twice, and I'm not even sure they will. Also, I've decided I don't really care as much. I still get that "ooh and ahh" feeling from "big" movies like Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, and Gravity, as much as little ones like Under the Skin, Ex Machina, and Thirst, even at 720p, so I've decided I just don't really care that much. Which sucks, because I have a 4K TV that I've never used.

Not cooking right now, but there were a lot of good tips in here: I'm curious if you all agree with the advice to take the oil well past it's smoke point -- that's not at all what I did. I also probably left too much oil on, as per the video.

I've actually downgraded my Netflix service to just 720, as my eyesight has sufficiently deteriorated that 1080 is lost on me, much less 4K. Yes yes, I know I used to be pixel whore, but I ent no more.

That's what happens when you release all the magic smoke at once, kids.
