Not sure why MC even replies to posts on Agon. Nobody listens to him, or I should say, you read his replies/posts and then LYAO. MC reads these responses from people (that actually know something about audio) then MC adds them to his hateful list, because most people think his comments are foolish/degrading/inappropriate. |
"Isn't a water & water on ice technically a water & water & water?" A friend of mine once proudly told me how he invented a cocktail Death In the Bedroom. "It is 100 ml of votka mixed with 100 ml of votka. You drink it quick before bedtime and you sleep well." "Isn't it just 200 ml of votka?" "No, it is a cocktail. It is a mix of two different votkas." I guess he is technically right. |
The meeting at the bar thing appeals to me. I don't know where all you guys live, but here in Texas I met with my football buddies every Sundays at the sports bar to watch our favorite NFL team. No masks, six of us, different age range, holding different jobs, no one sick and I am 66. Lighten up! Life should be enjoyed, living thru fear is not worth living. |
It’s not a vaccine, it requires being stored at -90C, minimum, without a second’s drop below that. Neither of these are true. If you found the Harvard link I’m assuming you know to research before posting. The vaccine is shipped at a temperature close to that but can be kept in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. The altering of DNA is flat out wrong. Just look up exactly what mDNA is and you’ll see. |
I feel a combination of gag reflex and bemused laughter watching a guy so in need of praise and affirmation, and apparently so starved of actual recognition, that he simply heaps it upon himself. It's at once, funny, sad and gross, funny because a supposed genius can't see how absurdly self nullifying he is, sad because of the picture of past unmet needs and gross because, well, it's just icky to witness. I submit there is a yawning gap between superior intellect and clownish fantasies of self inflation, and it's awfully easy to see which is which. |
"...'Ell, officer, it was all pretty chummy to begin with. For what looked like a meeting of the AA/AD....What? Oh, the Amateur Alcoholics/Audio Division....yeah, weird....*L* Well, somewhere around the 6th or 8th round on some fool's credit card, they started in on IC's and speaker cables. The one meter cables came out aaaand they started in on each other.... ...mmmhuh, it deteriorated from there, the bartender tried, but they ransacked the bar at that point. Shrieking about DACs' and such, scary bunch of dodgers drunkenly debating dis 'n DAT's... It was bad enough until the fire hose got dragged out....there was all that blood 'n vomit, mixed with the broken glassware I don't know how the hotel is going to clean up the mess after all that... Can I identify any of the bodies?! You've Got to be kidding me....." |
I live in NY (just outside the City). And this is a real tweet from our Governor yesterday: I fell off my chair in disbelief https://mobile.twitter.com/nygovcuomo/status/1348673192609591296 what does that tell you ? In the very least it makes you think. His timing couldn’t have been more blatantly obvious. |
I don't do politics. But for many men and women there are hard choices to be made. One is to lose one's house, food, means to support one's kids, and possibly live out of a car if lucky. The other is to go back to work and risk dying from Covid-19 or infecting someone else, but being able to shelter and feed the family and kids. What kind of person on Earth is not aware enough to understand both sides of the dilemma? Oh yeah, now I remember, its the popular nightclub act, MC and the clones. |
@jetter But for many men and women there are hard choices to be made. One is to lose one’s house, food, means to support one’s kids, and possibly live out of a car if lucky. The other is to go back to work and risk dying from Covid-19 or infecting someone else, but being able to shelter and feed the family and kids. I would be happy to have a drink with you and anyone willing to see the human stakes involved in what we’re going through. Those who indulge conspiracy theories about our situation or telling those of us who have lost loved ones or seen friends and family made destitute by this situation are not people I will drink or break bread with. Hopefully, Axpona will have two bars. |
The last few months have surely kicked my butt! I got the COVID on Thanksgiving, wound up in the hospital for five days. Two days after I got out, I could not pee. My wife drove me to the ER. They took over one liter of fluid out of me. I was on a indwelling catheter for a solid month before they took me off of it. That was 30 days of hell. Now I am in line to get the next procedure which could take months. I'm going to the bathroom on my own right now so I feel like the luckiest man alive. On the up side, we both a new house. It has a nine foot deep basement where I can put my audio room. It will be at least 22 feet long by 18 foot wide and 9 foot high. Life is good! Hang in there guys! Joe |

I guess I’ll have to be the one to remind millercarbon that Milo Yiannopoulos was banned on Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to be like him, that can be arranged. And I’d be happy to challenge the content of your first post because it was extremism at its finest. This is not the new normal, it’s the old normal. There have been pandemics throughout history that have killed millions. Ever hear of the Black Death, the Spanish flu, and the diseases that helped wipe out the Native American population? The Comms (in Star Trek parlance) have already been defeated. There are only about 5 countries left that even could be deemed Communist and the biggest one of those (China) now allows ownership of private property and is holding elections. While there are a million ways to die and life is not safe, there are also a million ways to at least reduce the risk of premature death, such as wearing masks and seatbelts and not playing Russian roulette. It’s all about reducing risk as much as possible, not eliminating it. Crazy is looking to have some fun when it becomes less risky. Why oh why are you trying to spoil his fun? BTW, I wasn’t going to reply at all until I read your second reply and you goaded me into it. How does it feel to be crushed by an intellectual superior? The one thing we can be fairly certain of is this entire thread will be deleted because it has nothing to do with audio equipment, but it’s fun while it lasts. |
"...was banned on Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to be like him, that can be arranged." Can you help me arrange it the other way around? I am tired of writing to Facebook a few times a year asking them to take down the pretend account they make for me. They call it "unofficial" that was made because someone "expressed interest" in me. Come to think of it, how do I politely make them ban me? |
Why do people believe in "conspiracy theories"? The believers are not stupid and they are not uneducated, but they share these common traits: Those who believe these theories typically show high levels of anxiety independent of external sources of stress, a high need for control over environment, and a high need for subjective certainty and, conversely, a low tolerance for ambiguity. They tend to have negative attitudes to authority, to feel alienated from the political system, and to see the modern world as unintelligible. Conspiracy theory believers are often suspicious and untrusting, and see others as plotting against them. They struggle with anger, resentment, and other hostile feelings as well as with fear. They have lower self-esteem than nonbelievers and have a need for external validation to maintain their self-esteem. They may have a strong desire to feel unique and special, and an exaggerated need to be in an exclusive in-group. Belief in conspiracy theories often also goes along with belief in paranormal phenomena, skepticism of scientific knowledge, and weaknesses in analytic thinking. Proneness to belief in conspiracy theories is also associated with religiosity, especially with people for whom a religious worldview is especially important. These traits are hardly universal among or exclusive to conspiracy theorists, but they help create a vulnerability to belief.For the full article click here. |
Then maybe stop reading them. They seem to have caused irreversible harm, at least in your case. One of the people I don’t usually respond to, because its such a waste of time (even though someone I respect is able to find some redeeming value there, so I keep looking) posted: Question for miller, since you work in the medical field, did you take your vaccine when offered or did you refuse it, you know, since its all a grand communist conspiracy to take over the world. So honestly, yes or no? First, thanks for not saying "theory". But its also not a conspiracy. That’s like saying Islam is a conspiracy to take over the world. Its not a conspiracy when its central to your ideology. Got it? Not conspiracy. Ideology. I find it helps a great deal to get the words right and use them precisely the right way, as otherwise its like trying to find your way with a map and no way of orienting that map to the real world. You are lost. Even though you have a map. Think about it. Whether or not they want me to take the vaccine, whoever "they" are is irrelevant. Fact of the matter, I had it- in the opinion of modern medicine. Are you seriously asking people to believe you don’t know this? Right. Whatever. Point is, according to them, I had it. Now let’s look at what happened, just the facts, without any conspiracy or other stuff to cloud the issues. I got real sick and went to ER. X-ray showed multi-focal pneumonia. CCP virus test came back negative. The doc said the result was "bad" and had to be repeated. I said by "bad" you mean "negative". He said yes. So it was negative. They repeated the test and the second time got the result they wanted, positive. This result for some reason they believe. Not the first one. So at this point you have to ask yourself, Did millercarbon have covid? Which test are we supposed to believe? Inquiring thinking independent minds will ask these kinds of questions. So now. If you believe I had ordinary bacterial pneumonia, which fits all the signs and symptoms and the first test, then I haven’t had covid, haven’t been exposed, and might want the vaccine. But if you believe I had covid (which is by the way the official story!) well then why on Earth do I need the vaccine??? Do you see the lunatic world we have created here? In order to say I need the vaccine you have to also say I never had it in the first place. But then they treated me for something I did not have, even after a test told them I did not have it. Or else you have to say having a disease no longer confers immunity. Which means throwing out a thousand years of medical knowledge. But by all means, whatever you believe, just be sure and believe I’m some tinfoil crackpot. I would hate to take away the one thing in the world you schlemiels are all able to agree on. |
Interesting video on the MRNA vaccination by professor Dolores Cahill... Oh you mean this professor Dolores Cahill? A University College Dublin (UCD) professor, who chairs the Eurosceptic Irish Freedom Party, has been asked to resign from a leading European Union scientific committee over online claims she made about the Covid-19 pandemic. In an hour-long interview with a popular alt-right activist on May 10th, which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, Prof Dolores Cahill promised to “debunk the narrative” of the pandemic. Lockdown and social distancing is not needed to stop the spread of the virus, she said. People who recover are then “immune for life” after 10 days and deaths and illnesses could have been prevented by extra vitamins, she claimed. People with underlying health conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, could freely engage in society during the pandemic after spending a few weeks building up their immunity in this manner, she went on. Opposing vaccinations, Ms Cahill said “politicians and the media” are using Covid-19 “as a fear-mongering propaganda tool to try and take away rights from people and to make them more sick and to force vaccinations on us.” However, the European Commission said the claims made by Ms Cahill, a professor of translational medicine in UCD, could cause “significant harm”, if taken literally. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/ucd-professor-asked-to-resign-from-eu-committee-o... |
