They are like 1/3 of the herd, my good sir.

We installed 1st floor's doors, they are using it more actively now, I guess its more secure. First two residents: Now, we need only fences to cover it. We'll build another one and replace the abomination at the right side.

AOIP (Audio over Ethernet) or is USB dead?
Sechtdamon replied to astrostar59's topic in Home Source Components
I shoud've make that clear, I did not use WYRD for sonic improvement and it did not (maybe a little, really little). I used it cuz my computer (designed for gaming) couldn't bring stable signal (too much latency) to my dac. I've tried nearly all digital connections over year(s) with different dacs, or digital chains. The differences between connections and DDCs/usb cleaners were only "nuance" differences. And believe me I've tested them blind to avoid honeymoon and placebo effects for I'm extremely skeptical. The thing we (I) don't like as I understand, if I understand correctly, you behave and talk like a vacuum cleaner salesman, who insist the vacuum cleaner he sold is way better than any others based on no useful basis. And you might be comapring your vacuum cleaner with broomstick. There is no theorical basis, and as it seems there is no practical basis which can be acceptable too. If you wanna make a point why don't you send "the interface" or whatever this is to people that can measure - theorical or hearing based (with blind test) -, and let him/her share foundings with head-case? Or send it to me, I have various digital inputs/outputs i can compare with it. -

Did you make any blind test? Or what you hear is just based on honeymoon and placebo effects? No it is not. If you use a transport pc just for running what you use for playback. And i use WYRD it was great. At where? On head-fi? People swim in snakeoil at there. -
Well done my good sir! I hope she'll end up homeless, then maybe she can emphatize with other street residents.

I wanted to ask you about the progress but forgot to ask. You are so kind as you still call the bitch "lady". I wish she meet the reaper by claws of (big) cats. Yeah, I know it is nature but, why an animal kills another that they won't eat?

We lost 4th cat today in one week. I burried them all and they are all shreded by dogs as it seems, dead cats were in gardens of blocks. So WTF is wrong with dogs? I called the municipal authorities today, and they said that they cannot do anything. Any advice guys?
-
With their huge false ego, i bet they love their farts and shits too. So not far away i guess... I felt before my curiosity once again and i asked to my friends to find me Diarrhea, aka. Liquid Carbon. I'll get it soon and listen it for 1-2 weeks min. And no i'm not a masochist.

Watching Rob Roy now. I do not now if it's scenario based on true story or not, but it's like another "Robin Hood" story, pretty good too.

It'd be nice, IF low distortion defines the quality of the sound. I found These on a site, which name is so obvious that I don't need to give it. And I assume from your post, Dr. Kevin you saw that too: Well, he describes O2 as "transparent-fi"... along many other things he knows... Impressive. I'm not sarcastic for this question, I'm asking this cuz I don't know really: Isn't 280ppV little bit low for a measurement of an amp which allegedly can go as high as 1600ppV? And numbers again... i guess THD measurements replaced 80's RMS... And I guess i have a pretty bad DAC, noone knows it's THD... MHDT Lab gives so little tech info about their products... But I must have shitty ears cuz i love my Atlantis. For I cannot hear that low THD numbers, I must have pretty bad ears, so I don't want to hear anything below %0,1 THD for i cannot hear anyway. It's bullshitness is so obvious, why people can not see it I don't understand. Don't care about THD, it means no effing thing below one zero IMHO. As I know you have Sr-207. Can you hear the distortions at 20Hz, 200Hz and 2kHz?

Sechtdamon replied to astrostar59's topic in Home Source Components
If you don't like using USB, then why don't you simply use a DDC? Less pain in the ass than your method, and you get to use outputs/inputs suit well for digital audio data transmission... -
Thank you for doing all those things. Really... For the father, all of my cats that i took care was street cats. And the cats I'm taking care, as you can guess, are street cats. Patience solves all problems. Some cats started to trust me immediately, some took their time. Yesterday I counted the cats at 4:00 pm meal, I counted 35 cats. And only 2-3 of them show antisocial behavior against other cats. Most probably you already know what I'm telling but I just wanted to remind, I guess. Sitting beside him while he eats can hasten the progress. If you have some free time ofc. I'm talking like I'm the expert of taking care street animals but please don't take me as smartass. I just want to help as much as I can. Thanks again.

After Theodore Millon et. al. - Personality Disorders in Modern Life, I immediately started to read Hervey Cleckley - The Mask Of Sanity. The way he analyze the antisocial personality disorder or so called psychopathy is easily understandable cuz he uses stories of patients or epicrises. Can be interesting read if you are interested in psychology. And it can be found as pdf on web, legally.
-
Good to know... And good luck with Mom. Do you know the people who adopted the kitten? Or will you make them sign any legal document?
-
Since we have our own topic i want to contiune from here. The shelter is nearly finished. Only doors are not installed cuz they should use to use it first and the weather is not bad yet. Here are the latest photos: Before: After: And the doors: And here are some of our fellas eating: Good things happen too. Well it's not completely finished but, it became completely useable. Again i'm open to any suggestion of improvements.

Sandra Sue Benson Animal Adoption Center Just Google this and made a comment about what happened on Google, even if 5-6 people do that, people who Google the name of the institution will see the comments. And those comments can be seen on Google Maps too. It can be very effective.
-
I found the institution on google and gave 1 star and made a comment about what happened. If any more things i can do, let me know. Ffs, i thought these kind of things happens only in Turkey... You should sue their asses.
-
I'm so pissed off... Normally i'm against hitting any living creature. But wtf?!?!?!??! Recently a kitten died on my lap, cuz we couldn't act faster, and the it still punishes me as i remember the scene. How the f.. can someone euthanize kittens? She deserves to be get fired. Anything i can do about it from Turkey? If you can start a online campaign on change.org or any other websites, i can sign and make people sign. Or any other thing...

I feel good when i see people care about animals. And i feel happier after this message of yours. Good to know there are people in forum whom i can ask for advice when i need.
-
Thank you sir. A lot of people being happy for what i'm doing for street animals, makes me love this forum more.
-
Yes my good sir, and we serve hot water more frequently in winter too! After they eat, some of them come to my lap and start to purr. That's something you can't buy with money. I pay less than yoga course per month and certainly get more relaxed.
-
Thank you my good sir. We're doing our best. We fed them with proper cat food. And their water get refreshed per 6 hours. and they pay us with purrs. Thank you sir. Well i'll try all filling suggestions, and let them decide
-
I never thought that way, but completely true. Thank you my good sir.
-
Actually sir, sorry i forgot to add, we bought carpet for internal Thank you for suggestion. But ground is dirt, so we have to find stands which withstand against dirt. We are using pavingstone for now. I'm really happy cuz they already started to use it
-
I did something really good today. Actually me and my father. We have been feeding 20-25 street cats for 2 years. And for winter is coming we started to build a shelter for street cats. It has 10 room. We'll add more room/shelter later. Here are some pictures: If you have any suggestions for improvement, i gladly listen them. It is beneath the bubble wrap, which we are going to use for isolation. And we'll add fences around it so nothing can bother cats while they are sleeping/eating. And we'll add a roof made from rigid plastic for rain. Btw it is still useable as it is. Cats crawl under bubble wrap. I'll post finished pictures too.
