Do they have a "souring" tuning? I think that'd be more to my liking.

iTunes (gift?) cards -- $100 for $85 or $60 for $50.

Okay. Yeah, mine's the same way, hence the turn-it-"inside-out" and run it a couple times approach. I've had to do the same thing at other places I've lived, so I'm kind of used to it. I don't let it run the whole cycle, just the main part (when it's full on), then rearrange it, then start the cycle anew. I used to have to only do it twice, now I"m up to three, I should probably schedule something with maintenance. But you shouldn't bother if you're not keeping it. And if you're not going to stay there through the end of the dryer cycles, I wouldn't recommend leaving it in the dryer, but I've left stuff "mostly dry" (/mildly damp) overnight, and as long as I run another cycle in the morning, it's been fine.

Yeah, that's called "outgassing". It's normal, just give it some time to air out. Clean out the lint filter? If it's not the lint filter -- get apartment maintenance to clean out the exhaust of the dryer. I usually have to turn my mattress pads "inside out" once or twice to get them fully dry because they don't "tumble" in the tumble-dry dryer. (Basically just rearrange them so that the inner parts are more outer and the outer parts are more inner.) Once you get it mostly dry, just put it on the bed to air dry with nothing on top of it. I usually try to time it so that I'm doing this at the beginning of the day, so that it has all day to air dry.

That looks like a really nice slab of meat.

I never made my trip to England in August, and regret it, so yeah, in. Especially England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, mostly because I know people there besides head-casers. Also interested in wine country -- Spain? France?

How is it cheap? They hang on the phone for an hour at a time, they have to bring in their supervisor, then have to hang out for an hour with them...and the answer is always negotiable.

No it's not. If you have to have human intervention for every time someone tries to negotiate a special deal or do anything outside of what's allowed, you have to pay the person on the other end of the line for their time. I really need to become a hermit.

...and for determining whether or not a market exists.

But don't you think that at least part of the reasons customers leave is so that they can get the first-time buyers' deals? It's a viscous loop. So they're just making work for themselves, which increases overhead, which increases costs, which they have to, in turn, forward to the customer. Companies just can't afford to be bureaucracies in this market any more.

Yeah, no argument there. Criterion 50% off sale w/code: SUZY

And...sold. (This is my future setup, although at this point, I don't know why I'm putting it off any more, I should just get it.)

I forget all the time. But then I remember and overcompensate -- I hardly had anything yesterday.

I'm a 'scruff'.

If I could have a soulmate that was a pair of speakers, that's what they'd look like.

You don't want a buzzing ringing sound to sound like a thousand bees in the center of your head, just like it's supposed to sound? They make it sound like a good thing. Someone listens to the same kind of music like I do.

Thanks, will keep that in mind when I need new earbuds. Sorry, Al, can't recommend what I'm currently using, as they were a lot more than $100, IIRC. I think I got them on ... purk's (?) recommendation from the ... Hifiman store (again: ??) before they sold their own.

Etymotic ER-6i.

My friend Spacey/Spacetoner/??? (don't know what he goes by on the list) is probably on that list. That is all. Cheers. I didn't go out last night, probably should have. My Facebook friend/musician I follow apparently "flashed the pigs [her] tatas".

Yeah, everyone says I need to get a Peterson, I just have a hard time believing I don't throw it more out of tune with my fingers.

Yeah, that's a pretty sweet clean tone. Not to feed your GAS, but have you heard a Dr. Z Stang Ray? I'm eventually getting one of these: Yup, I've burned out the tubes on both the Archon and the MDT, I think, so next amp is going to be a solid state. Roland Jazz Chorus or a Quilter or maybe just something cheap like a Bugera Veyron M.

Someone posted this to me privately on Facebook: Some people just know me so well.
