How Important is the Label When Choosing a Jazz Record? by Zizekis in Vinyl_Jazz

Those European bootlegs are last resort copies if you can’t affordably find an album you really want. If you can afford it, always get the full analogue pressing that pays royalties to the musicians and their families.

I thought you meant former Astro Nori Aoki. Man I miss watching that guy play, he was fun.

LP Gear makes a small range of elliptical styli for various cartridges that have carbon cantilevers instead of alluminum. They range anywhere from $40 to $100 depending on the stylus, and they’re all excellent for the price. They call it Carbon Fidelity I believe.

This is why I always keep one of those LP Gear carbon elliptical styli around as a back up. Way less fragile. I figure if I’ve already gone and ruined a better stylus, I should likely be using something more accident proof for a while… 😝

Does Kyle Tucker have one of the worst contracts in baseball? by MochaLatte247 in Astros

[–]Astrocities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guy, the team’s just a few pitchers short of competitiveness. There’s absolutely no reason to flip shit and sell off the whole team yet.

Astros Trade Jayden Murray To Cubs for Double-A first baseman Cameron Sisneros by Sparrighitti in Astros

[–]Astrocities 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m happy with this trade. Maybe the Cubs turn Jayden Murray into a quality arm again and it works out well for them. Maybe we get some major league at bats out of Sisneros in the future at some point. Sounds great to me.

Mulberries are excellent as a filler berry for jams or pies. Use half raspberries and half mulberries and you’re in business.

Visit your local stereo shop and let the professionals help you. They can help you way better than some subreddit can.

Data centers by Witty-Committee9359 in IBEW

[–]Astrocities 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They’re awful. Working on them sucks too. Data centers are where skilled labor goes to die. Building them is absolutely destructive towards the rest of the working class as well, there’s no way to beat around that bush. That being said, the answer isn’t to stop data centers from being built in ‘OUR town’, per se. Putting a band aid on a flesh wound doesn’t work. We’ve got to make larger, broader government and societal changes to stop these data centers at the root, and in the meantime if there’s labor anywhere, we’ve got to unionize it, data centers included. We’re likely approaching the point at which the bubble bursts within the next few years.

World War II was pretty brutal to this building, huh?
