| Movie/film suggestions. @gano , I remember you explaining the reasons that you did not like The Departed, and after I googled it and discovered that a lot of it was not actually filmed in Boston, that did knock it down a notch on my list. But, I really enjoyed the actor... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. BTW, was WHM’ wife, the female in the Seinfeld episode when she was attractive in the light but very unattractive in the dark? @slaw , I could not remember whether I had seen Edmond or not (it turned out I have) so I watched the first couple of... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. In my opinion, Matt Damon is a talented and versatile actor, and although I do not like all of the movies he has been in, I have thoroughly enjoyed some of them. One that I thought he did an excellent job in was The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) whi... | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load what I do with spade terminal speaker cables is mount them facing down on the amplifier binding post so if they should become loose the weight of the cable won't pull it off the post. @gs5556 , that is a good idea. It's kind of like the (unw... | |
| Battle of the affordables @andy2 , will the return policy of Best Buy effectively allow you to conduct in home auditions? | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load "Some other tube amplifier designs will oscillate or go into overload if they are used without a speaker or resistive load attached to the speaker output terminals. Cary Audio tube amplifiers are inherently STABLE DESIGNS and may be operated wit... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @gano , connecting all of this back to the movie thread, and alluding back to Al Pacino’s performance in Phil Spector, I just discovered (via youtube) that Karen Read’s lead attorney, Alan Jackson, was the prosecutor in the Phil Spector murder tri... | |
| Happiness is... That is interesting, @asvjerry , and similar to this: going back to around when the tale I recounted started, a friend of mine who I had worked with from ’85 through ’87 called me to touch base, and to make a long story short, he had just got a s... | |
| Happiness is... @unclewilbur , I am assuming that you are on medicare (I just started on it a year ago, and I still don't know all the ins and outs) but if you already have a cardiologist, I'd say try to schedule an ECG and have him interpret it. I am going from... | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load Thanks for that info--interesting and helpful to know. Back near the end of '17 I had taken my Cary amp out of mothballs and I was on the phone with the tech guy trying to clarify something and I told him I had it hooked up to a load and he said ... | |
| Happiness is... . . . what I used to describe happiness as being was: firing up the charcoal grill and pounding a ice cold beer while the coals started burning down and then singeing a 2" thick slab of New York strip and washing down that blue-rare piece of beef ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @gano , and back to The Brutalist and my comparison to a Russian novel and me saying I had only read one (Russian novel) from start to finish, I wonder if it is a coincidence that the novel was Crime And Punishment? | |
| Happiness is... You’ve used a lot of terms and acronymacronyms that I don’t know. I’ll have to do some googling. I think you wrote that you were a nurse? So you’re a smarty pants with medical terms! 😁 I suppose that I am, @unclewilbur ; I used to take a per... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @immatthewj I would say take a break from the court channel. It could be aggravating. Half of the world lies and they would do it on the stand too. Yeah, @gano , you are right; I am not going to follow this one. But for some reason it just cra... | |
| Happiness is... Some of these arrhythmia types can be nasty and just mess up the heartbeat to a point of no return Yup. If you go into V-tach and then V-fib, if you are not in the right place and around the right people, that is generally the end of the line.... |
