Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?

@mbmi  beautiful indeed.

@baclagg  YIKES! It's always the worst to wait all day on delivery day and get nothing. I share your pain. 

The Buddha teaches us that when we attach ourselves to ’things’, we will eventually become disappointed and saddened, because a belief in the permanence of things is misplaced; things fade and die over time, and they loose their luster in our imaginations once they are acquired. I understand the wisdom. But all that flies out the window when it comes to audio. My pulse increases at the prospect of acquiring a pair of speakers or an amplifier, etc. It’s like Howard Hughes says in the movie, “I may seem crazy [to them]… but it all makes sense to me.” So, yeah, like a child on Christmas Eve…

No, I don’t anticipate the delivery. I’m very analytical about things. It comes, it gets tried and if it’s not everything I imagined it would be it gets kicked to the curb. Then it’s back to the hunt which is much more fulfilling.

Thoroughly entertaining thread.

Need more topics like this one.

@waytoomuchstuff haha TY and I agree with you. Things like this bring out the kids in us.

Also I'm like you. I turn on some universe stuffs and I fall asleep before I even try to fall asleep. My go-to was Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil Degrasse Tyson before netflix removed it. The Quantum series with Brian Green is also incredibly ENTERTAINING and sleep-inducing at the same time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 

I believe it's called Exploring Quantum History with Brian Greene. Not 100% sure.
