They lost me on the pads, obviously, but Todd still sells flats. The price isn't particularly competitive with used HP1/2/3, even. That said, I'd love to hear them.

I'm a confessed Raal fan, bought my first set of SR-1a from Justin and coerced Doug into making me a custom transformer. I cannot in good faith spend that kind of money on the Immanis, but I did just pick up a pair of the little brother Magna. My review is forthcoming, but based on how much I liked the R-1a and the CA-1 I expect I will enjoy this new tarted up model, too.

For what it's worth, Steve, my wife and I first met you at MOA after you had already come out to this group. You might have been the only openly gay man there (I do not remember) but when my wife and I talked about you later you were "the woodworker". This was before everyone here became woodworkers.

If you have a personal issue with Steve I'd rather you picked up a phone, Jacob. He has been an ally and friend to many people here for years, it feels petty to libel him. Congratulations on coming out, I wish you a happy and fulfilling marriage.

Dusty, is your entire collection magenta or black quilt top PRS 24s?

I wouldn't wish them luck, dedicated groups of Americans have put genies back in bottles before.

I know I'm late, but I agree with the final cake. HAPPY 'BEWT-

I am one of those 40,000 patrons, I absolutely love Jenny's content. She is remarkably incisive and always brings receipts. She is currently the #2 video creator on Patreon, right behind someone who mods Assetto Corsa. Pretty impressive for someone who puts out 1-2 videos a year and narrates them sitting on a bedspread surrounded by stuffed animals. Of course, if you're a member of her Patreon, you get a video every month...

Completely agree, though I did enjoy and finish Andor. I think it's likely because it's the "hardest" scifi they have attempted. Broadly, I have a hard time suspending disbelief watching Star Wars of any kind. Whole planets speak the same language, or have one notable geographic feature, or support billions of people but merit no more than a throwaway line of dialogue. I always think "what kind of tax revenue must the Empire be collecting to put together yet another moon-sized gun array" and then wondering how such a thing would be structured. I appreciated the smaller scale, the care they put into worlds that didn't interact with the properties from the good movies, and the sort of general Kafka-esque bureaucratic capriciousness it gave to the Empire. My favorite Marvel property was "Jessica Jones" for the same reason. But yeah, the first two movies were good and nothing else since approaches them. They are fundamentally kids movies and I'm fundamentally an adult. I have found new passions and it's a disservice to drag Star Wars along with me.

This is so singularly Eurovision I struggle for words. The absolute dumpster fire eurobeat track itself, the censorship of the windows logo, the man inexplicably hatching out of a jort egg, the second singer wearing a denim swatch capecoat, the sense that this is probably performed bottomless when not on TV, all of it.

The Femmes sax player is Blaise Garza, and while he appears to play the entire range he bills himself as the Femmes' "Contrabass Saxophone Player". Seems like a CB! https://www.blaisegarza.com/gallery

The fanciest roaster near me, guys that are getting Pink Bourbon and Gesha beans, still have a check box on every single bag asking if you want them to grind cardamom in with your beans. Different strokes.

Agreed. They were the first (and maybe still one of the only) idol groups to perform with a live band rather than backing tracks. I think the Kami Band backing them is really tight, but what do you expect from professional Japanese session metal players? Obviously crass commercialism is a part of the genre, but they are a little less gross than their peers.

I mean, I would need to develop enough expertise to use the machine, to start with. Still, could be a fun project. Two way crossover with an AMT and a driver I'm sure someone has figured out, looks like a sealed box. I could probably find someone around here to cut me a weird-ass baffle since this whole town is made of stone. I'm inspired by your nonchalance, Steve!

I, for one, welcome whatever input you have Doug. None of my sense of self is tied up in my appreciation for those speakers. I think part of the appeal is the dovetails, and that's more your area of expertise than mine.,
