  The town I live in is 3 blocks long. The fire department is in the middle block. I can crawl to the ambulance.

  My ad blocker won’t let me watch YouTube. I didn’t know there was a problem. Good ad blocker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good advice, Thanks.

  I did buy a used phone at the thrift store and put that in the car so I had a clock.

  Well, sort of. I’m now using Google Voice as a land-line.

  For portability I have a personal Hot-Spot and an old iPad that is NOT chipped for phones. I can use the iPad’s browser to get to my Google Voice account.

  I can get voice and pictures and text but for the most part it’s at HOME.

  I was looking for a phone that didn’t have a camera. I told him I already have a camera that is NOT a phone.

  He was aghast.

  I had a compressor on my older setup. For what I listen to that’s a good idea.

  THANKS!

  Ooh, you’ve got records.

  Yea, that’s right, by the album.

  I started my day today with the song “In the Garden of Eden”…I’m sorry “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”. The full 17 minute version. That drum solo is INSANE.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a nice setup at my home. The one thing I noticed is when you have a high fidelity setup, EACH song needs a different volume setting. You can’t just turn it on and go about your day. You have to run to the living room and adjust EACH song. It’s a pain unless you just want to listen to JUST ONE song.

  A couple of cheap speakers in the ceiling of the kitchen is “better”.

  We are heading for a subscription LIFE.

  Did you ever see the movie THX 1138 (1971)?

  The police stop chasing him when his “value to society” runs out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, they’ll figure a way to make it clock out on the last monthly payment. One little chip will do, or just a few lines of code in the right place.

  My ad blocker won’t let me watch YouTube…OR YouTube won’t let me watch with an ad blocker. I don’t care. No ads for ME.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, he is the “money man”. He doesn’t DO any of the work himself, he “buys” workers.

  He has NO skill, NO knowledge, NO training, NO license. Just money. All you need is money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So…he has something USELESS and he wants everybody to FIND a use for it before HE goes broke?

  I’ll get right on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorado right-to-repair law covering consumer electronics now in effect⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been in the appliance repair business for 50 years (half a century)

  Motors used to be BOLTED together, now they are GLUED together. I can’t re-build motors anymore.

  It used to take me a half hour to change the clutch slave cylinder on my truck. Now (newer truck) I have to PULL the transmission to do that. TWO DAYS!

  Think of the shareholders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorado right-to-repair law covering consumer electronics now in effect⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The right-to-repair does no good if the device is not designed to BE repaired.

  You don’t “go” to a Waffle House, You “find” yourself at a Waffle House.

  If you run over a pancake with a car, it looks like a waffle. If you run over a waffle with a car, it looks like a pancake. No other food does this. I’ve run over a lot of food.
