As a follow up. We did have a great talk. He was completely unaware of how offensive I took it. He also quoted me back to me, when I told him that gay men love gay jokes more than anyone. After I explained my experience with that hellish disease he actually started tearing up and apologized profusely. He really had no idea. He even gave me a hug, which cemented that he didn't mean to offend me in any way. I'm too sensitive about that subject, I'm certain. But all is well.

I started a GoFundMe for myself. I almost called it, "Help Me Not Join ICE", but there is absolutely no risk of me joining ICE. I'm just like them, except I don't hate immigrants, non-Caucasians, or women. I do hate & rage -- at pedophiles, predators, human traffickers, drug lords, organized crime, scammers and grifters. https://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_UShttps://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_UShttps://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A5974c743-384d-4b16-bc0e-0f1a102d6f3d&ts=1770472529 Here is the Facebook post, if anyone cares to like/boost visibility/share there: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E1YCwS6ar/ I realize the last time y'all gave me money may have left a bad taste in many of y'all's mouths, but any spreading of the word would be appreciated. Even a small amount ($13?) would help lend credibility, when strangers later see this.

You have to have multiple "bucha" drinks on a "woke" desk. Are those turkeys of the "Jive" variety?

The Turkeys took an interest in proceedings.

I just want to thank everyone who's contributed so far. I haven't posted an update yet because I've been overwhelmed. Thank you all, so so much!

Putting this here, because I live under the delusion that I will some day get through the "Check out this music (fuck VEVO)" thread. As I mentioned elsewhere, a DJ I knew for over 25 years died recently. Periodically, he'd send me a link to a remix he thought I might like. I used Faecesbook's "see friendship" and found a few of them yesterday. Maneater needs no introduction. It's a summation of early 80s synth pop to a T. It's infectious, over the top and will be stuck in your head for days. It's not an easy song to remix properly and do anything original. Certainly there are a legion of remixes out there, most significantly faster than the original's ~90 BPM. Flying White Dots went in the opposite direction, stripping out most of the original and making sparing use of sparse elements while dubbing the absolute fuck out of things. I have sneaked this remix into more than a couple downtempo sets over the years. On the other end of the energy spectrum, The Reflex Stems turn Lennon's diss track against McCartney (that is as much autobiographical as it is about Paul) into a nearly 10 minute epic. In spite of its length, there isn't too much wasted space here. The Reflex wisely left enough time before John's vocals come in to make it easy to work this remix into more conventional downtempo. For me, this is a great "late into the set" track. Both remixes exemplify Matt's ear for quality. I played both of them (unmixed) over my main sound system last night as a tribute.

Beef stew. Basically the same as my pot roast, with a few small differences. No shallots, but leaks instead. And 1/2 cup of brandy in the sauce. Delicious!

Oh Steve, I hope you had a chance to help this young man. I think a conversation with a man he looks up to would do him a world of good. It is hard for some young men to socially mature, even when they have a good example to reference. It sounds like he may have to work harder than many to find that example. He made an off-color joke to the wrong crowd at the wrong time. Who among us hasn’t, right? I would bet he feels bad but has nowhere to put those feelings. Shame is one of the real ugly, scary ones we would all rather hide. Obviously this isn’t your fault or your doing, but I feel like this is an opportunity to selflessly put a little compassion in the world. Sorry it had to be you, buddy, but that’s the price you pay for caring about people.

Only a couple of Frenchpersons would even try this, let alone pull it off.

Way late but I don't get 'round these parts as often as I should. Thank you for the kind wishes. It was a nice birthday.

Extra Veggie Turkey Chilli (Cooked after dark, to avoid repercussions)

Made my morning a little bit better...

Five coasters and an outboard cup holder? It seems like you plan to have many drinks simultaneously while working at that desk. 😳

Just in case anyone else is interested, these Aperture The Photography Workbook Series (they’re not really workbooks) are really nice. Softcover, but decent stock, solid printing and relaxed text by the photographers to inspire students. No longer sold on Aperture, but some available on Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble (and others), $19-29 each. Would recommend over most more expensive surveys. Still have Richard Misrach’s and Mary Ellen Mark’s incoming.

Simple dish. Potatoes with onion and bacon.

Extra Veggie Turkey Chilli 🥒 🫑 🦃 🌶️

Merci. French-adjacent persons?

A quick chicken dish to avoid eating out. Turned out pretty good.

Happy birthday to you, Jeff!

Catching up with earlier...

Tonight, in the dark of West Marin. https://poeticruckus.org/ And their latest release, on vinyl, no less.

I still got Kikik, and she's really stepping up. She understands the assignment.

Done....wishing you the best Peter, always!

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

Me too.

Figured I'd post this picture here as well as in the Stax thread, MA-009 vs SR-009D I've just been on holiday so no work on this project but I'll probably make some new diaphragms for the MA-009 soon. The ones in there are just too unstable, any major airpressure and they just stick to the stators.

Just beautiful. Is there any volcano Mjölnir Audio cannot climb?

So sorry, Peter. RIP Skye.

So sorry, Peter....RIP to a beautiful kitty. Thank you for saving her and taking care of her!

Thank you, guys. If you all have any advice, I will admit I have no idea what I'm doing -- I'm all ears.

Looks like they are Canadian, québecoises. I searched it because the guitar fretboard seemed weird, too many frets. It’s microtonal, but probably not all the range.

Attached ZIP-file with gerbers, shematics and some 3D views. CFA3smd.zip I’ve used both gerbers when I milled the boards (kitchen made) and that is about three years ago. Board size 160mm x 74mm to fit on Modushop 200mm x 80mm heat sinks. Take a look at the files and see if/how the boards could be a part of your project. I think one should make a few changes to attached gerbers before considering sending them to a fab house.

After listening for a while (and getting the output under control: it's HOT out of the box), I think the DAC3 is a subtle audio upgrade, but a noticeable one. The voicing is just so similar to the DAC1 that I didn't notice it at first. Also, trying out DSD audio for the first time.

I didn't read it, and I'm not going to because I don't care, but I wanted to second this.
