BINGO! (Neodymium alloy, actually....)

So how does the trick work?

It would likely increase our gear costs by 25-30%, judging by Europe. You didn't even skim the outline, let alone watch the interview. Actually I did skim the outline, not that I really needed too. Due to the fact that there's nearly nothing on TV most of the time I spend far more time that I want ...

Sorry to hear that. As for the silvery sphere, it probably went through faster than you think but you guys were one toke over the line. Nope. Definitely slooow. There's a sound scientific principle in play here, something absolutely basic to the science of electricity. If you can't figure it out so...

At least Yang is trying to address the problem rather than regurgitating up more "progressive" talking points. My problem with his "Universal Basic Income" is that real estate interests will most likely gobble that money right up leaving us right back where we started. Not to me...

People are always looking for reasons why it “won’t work” It works You adjust what you need to adjust; including asking the player to play appropriately and sometimes to slightly move some items if it doesn’t throw her off. They could record Keith Moon with 3 mics. You can do it too. I thought he w...

I'll need to read that more closely, but I must say that I'm opposed to the idea of VAT under any circumstances. It would likely increase our gear costs by 25-30%, judging by Europe. And VAT is added every time a product goes through another level of distribution. I'll take regular sales tax, thank ...

Remember, the people we need to win over are for the most part under-educated and very susceptible to propagandizing by the same right wing network that "coincidentally" happens to control nearly all major league sports media in the US. Don't underestimate the power that goes with that. T...

And we're not keeping our eyes on the prize - which is winning The Senate. […] But they hold the keys to The Senate. This is not an accident; it was one of the intentions of The Founding Fathers to prevent a buildup of power by the "favored elite" similar to the situation in Britain aroun...

Aspen Pittman, founder of Groove Tubes and all around interesting audio guy and entertaining party animal was killed in a traffic accident a couple days ago. I first met Aspen when I was working at Don Wehr's back in the mid '80s with my friend Joey Swails and it turned into a very memorable evening...

And in those states guns are widely regarded not as weapons of murder and war; they are more often seen as tools of survival. Lots of people hunt for food in those regions. They may not totally depend on it but it does provide a financially significant portion of their diet. As usual, you completel...

I think the pandering to the centre, and especially to imaginary convinceable Trump voters, is starting to fall apart; as the failed strategy that it always was. "pandering to the center" doesn't have anything to do with it. Even framing the question in those terms reveals a disturbingly ...

That's why we have primary elections before the final election.

Are you from the US? This is basic high school civics.

As I understand it, I’ll wait for an answer to my personal messages for a long time, so I am writing here! Actually, I’ve on your forum a long time ago, but I had to register again - why, I’ll tell you later. Recently, I broke up with my husband (some people know him here!), and I've been chatting ...

I 100% agree with you there, one side is very obviously worse, but the problem is only having two "sides". Decisions are made out of loyalty and spite, rather than concern and regard for actual policy. Again, that is far more true for one particular party and it's supporters, but at this ...

And she was.

A true story from The Fishbowl Bar in San Francisco.

I've been saying Harris is going to get the nomination for a while. She's the woman to beat at the moment. She's also the only one who didn't seem like she was acting, which was part of Trump's appeal. I like Harris. She's about the only SF Democrat that I do like. I still like Beto better - he's t...

Well, the Giants are sucking again. Somethings really wrong with our front office. Can't they find any decent starting pitchers?

Has anybody been watching the debates?

Any comments?

I'm still for Beto but I do like Liz a lot. The only problem with her is that she might be too scary to a lot of people in middle America (although her programs would greatly benefit just those people.) I'm becoming rather concerned about Pelosi's slow tracking of action vs Rump. She's a great tacti...

Who is "we"? The Democrats blew it big last time by shunning Bernie. It's time for the two party system to go, and a serious overhaul of our entire political structure. I disagree, with what I believe is ample evidence. Just look at the mess that Italy (and similar countries) make of thei...

Elvis Obgyn and the Contractions The Contractions were an all female punk band based in San Francisco during the early to mid '80s, regarded at the time as SF's #1 "Women's Band". The bassist, Kathy Peck, now runs H.E.A.R, the organization dedicated to the hearing problems of rock musicia...

Dark Shadows?

And now we have 23 candidates for President. And no clear strategy to take back the Senate. Which means that even if we do kick Rump out of the White House the Party of Maleficent Obstructionists and Traitorous Spies will still be able to block any real progress in legislative programs, or attempts ...

When I first started recording I didn't know what anyone else was doing. I naturally settled on a "forehead-height" mic above snare & bass drum mic. Just seems like the right thing to do. That was after sticking various cheap microphones in mayonaise jars to keep them from distorting....

Clams I understand. What's an "ixhub"?

A device for making dip perhaps?

Something has to give. Things can't go on like this.

Happy New Year!

May this one be better than the last.
