  1. That's great, Jacob. I've got my ML back from service a couple of days ago, it's going pretty accurate too
  2. Happy birthday, Todd!!!! This deserves an adult beverage to toast to yours
  3. This, I'll add myself to the GB and see what happens. Price is not great, but not bad either, I guess those tubes are better than the JJ and worth the expense
  4. Per matched quartet?
  5. Any idea about the price?
  6. It sounds very good, Jacob. Best wishes.
  7. I used Kaspersky many years (like twelve or more) ago and always performed well, however it missed a pretty nasty worm which caused lots of trouble. It was Avast the one finding and cleaning it, so I started using it, first the free version then the paid one. It was my only antivirus until I moved onto OSX. Now I'm using none.
  8. Good luck, Jacob. You'll do great
  9. Thank you buddies!!!! It's been a very nice day, I took it off from work so I've been able not to get up too early, which I hate, and have had a day long of celebrations with the wife and family. Tremendous meal was had. Lots of friends calling too, so most of the evening on the phone. It's awesome having so many people wishing well to one after all these years
  10. Sell those 507 and get a wonderful pair of 207. Then sell the 727 and get a 252. It will sound way better. More expensive doesn't mean better most of the times.
  11. Even somebody with the means to get it after "some time"...
  12. I kept the subscription for a couple of years, maybe three, but now it's been expired for more than two and I'm not really missing it
  13. Nope, I haven't been to Cat Power. I think Melody has some sight issues, she's always wearing sunglasses, as a sequela from her accident. It's possible she just waited for it to be mostly dark. Here at 10:00pm it's pretty clear yet, and the show was supposed to start at 9:30. She even spoke a few phrases of decent Spanish
  14. The wife and I went to Melody Gardot this evening. She started more than half an hour late, and to be honest, a bit cold, at times I had the feeling she was doing playback. But by the third tune the show warmed up and we've had a lot of fun. She's a show-woman well worth attending live, her band is great too.
  15. I'm sorry, Steve. My condolences.
  16. I'm not sure I'm catching your drift... if any
  17. I wouldn't die to get my money back.
  18. RIP Mr Doctorow. I'm just starting to get acquainted with his work.
  19. Torpedo

    Beyer T1

    IMHO not worth it, Dusty. Too many flaws. Even at 500 they'd be expensive
  20. Best wishes, Jacob. I'm sure you'll nail it
  21. I've been watching the under 19 Spanish soccer team beating the shit out the Russians for the Europe Cup finals It's the second time they win this championship.
  22. RIP Jules
  23. Getting a good socarrat (or socarradet) is an art in itself. Hardcore paella purists don't mix seafood with land animals, but it's true that some paella styles, considering this is a "poor people" dish created to use easily available (for the zone) components, and leftovers, mix them. A seafood paella can include mussels, clams, shrimp, prawn, cuttlefish or squid, even octopus, lobster, crayfish (or a variant of it which serves just to provide taste but it's not really eatable). For color you use always saffron. Some other fishes, their heads and scrapes (monkfish is a personal favourite for this) are used to make the broth that we'll use to boil the whole thing once the seafood is sauté with the onion, garlic and other vegetables and you add the rice. The "land" paella uses basically rabbit or hare, lamb, pork or chicken. Then the broth to boil is made from hen and some bone you have around (jamón is particularly tasty). I couldn't make a really good paella even if my life depended on it, nor my wife, but I know where we can eat a really good one
  24. Wilco - Star Wars New album just released, freely available at their website
  25. Nice watch on your wrist. Congratulations, I wish the seller pays for the "cosmetic treatment".
