Odd to see these stickers on a Crossrtrek… surely they’d be better suited on an Outback?

i'm gonna need a "fight to the death" rule here or i'm not watching

Just sketched it up in CAD and 15 is spot on. You’re at 6.5 feet in outer diameter.

Holding the Chloe in prayer during this trying time for her 😅

“… and your papa, too” gets me every time 😂

BOSWELL 😍😍😍

past couple years I've grown paste tomatoes for sauce, and decanted the excess tomato water after putting them through a food sieve... and it makes *really good* rice when you use it instead of water or stock

the quiet part out loud here is now I have two systems based around high-sensitivity drivers from opposite eras, so I can finally start building some of those tube amps I've been thinking about for so long

a home hi-fi stereo set consisting of the speakers mentioned in the post and a rack of amplifiers and preamplifiers with a turntable on top.

Re-shuffled the front room rig to accommodate a new acquisition, a pair of Tekton Uruz speakers. Two-way design, full-range driver crossed at 5 kHz with a ribbon tweeter. Not quite the dispersion of the Infinity RS2.5's, but they don't take 500 W per side to sound their best! #hifi #vinyl

Hell yeah. Caught these guys at the PDX Jazz Fest a few weeks ago, just sublime. Any other acts you're keen to check out?

Sometimes a person can be not really a bad guy but also can have hurt you really badly out of either malice or a lack of care so profound it is indistinguishable from malice, and you kind just have to process that and move on with your life

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

this sounds excellent... looks a lot like a chess pie with the sour cream swapped in for a portion of the eggs and butter! may have to tinker with this!

I also cut a new armboard for the Thorens and installed an AudioQuest PT-9 tone arm with a Fidelity Research FR-1 mk 3 cart, which runs into some custom 1:30 step-up transformers I designed and built myself. Not too shabby! #hifi #thorens #tube #movingcoil

A home hi-fi stereo set plays the album “Treasures” by Lloyd McNeill

Ticked one off the forever list today… beautiful copy, a real thrill to find in the wild! #jazz #hifi #lloydmcneill

dang he really hit 'em with the "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS CADAVER!"

I would love to live in a society where saying (and pursuing) things like this destroyed your company, got you fired made you an unemployable pariah, instead of this society, which will reward this with more money and government grants to make it happen.

Oil + fertilizer + sulfur

I think there's a big aluminum plant, too!

Well done, all!

fuck your cold ass plums

MRSA, if you're listening,

Lol nice gyre dude. You widening that shit?

accidentally scanned my plaid flannel with the discogs app and crashed it

Outernational has stated that they pay all royalties to the respective artists but I have no idea if that's actually happening or not

the sound quality is great, I believe it's from the original master tapes. apparently the founder of Nimbus struck a deal with Outernational, which was later called into question by the person who inherited the label from the founder. bit of a he said/she said situation

A home hi fi stereo plays the album “One Step Out” by Creative Arts Ensemble

There is apparently some contention as to whether the Nimbus West reprints on Outernational Sounds are legitimate (only found out after purchasing) but they are VERY nice sounding records! Double 45 cut of the Creative Arts Ensemble. #vinyl #jazz #hifi

Oh you participate in the Marketplace of Ideas? I only deal with the Skymall Catalog of Ideas, myself. Wildly useless, but more fun to look at.
