Watch the video, she espouses a convincing argument for seasoning the entire pan, not just the cooking area. I'd be curious if anyone else would be convinced. I'm also curious if it's a bad idea to coat the pan with oil -- which is flammable, neh? -- on the flame side at all, since she never addresses the issue.

Hrm...I prefer the HD600 to the HD650 by a small margin...but I need fewer headphones not more...fewer headphones not more...fewer headphones not more...

I think you're confusing the L3000 with a hangover you may have once had. At a friend's. With a dog. Who was male.* And not castrated.** And yes, I know; I'll let you tell more if you want. *The dog, not the friend. **The dog, not the friend.

The weird scuffling blue robot was someone in a tachikoma/logicoma cosplay costume, on their hands and feet, which, if you watch it in reverse and change the costume to something far darker, glossier, and dripping with K-Y jelly, is how they tried to do the alien special effects, if you've seen the outtakes. It ended up looking like someone walking on their hands and feet, which is why they ended up not going with it. I thought the cosplay a bit better. Compare:

Not as often , I don't feel comfortable bringing them to work .

Yeah , exactly, I still have the L3000, don't intend to let that go.

Apparently no one else would neither, eBay has zero history of them ever being sold. I need to sell mine , I never listen to them. But yes , as of yet , I still have them.

Eep, that would be bad. Did you season them at all?

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.

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.
