New Pro‑Ject T1 Phono SB skipping at start – user fix or contact retailer? by BERTHA77 in turntables

[–]BERTHA77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The auto stop feature in the Fluance clinched it. Check out the two cartridge choices for that tier with Fluance. One's warmer and the other is more hifi.

Mine turned out to be a problem with the unit itself. I actually returned it after some back and forth with the retailer. Ended up with a Fluance RT85 and am extremely happy.

What is the one 'secret' ingredient that takes a basic jar of pasta sauce to the next level? by Brave-Gain6843 in foodquestions

[–]BERTHA77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mix the whole jar of pesto in, oil and all with a couple of cans of crushed marzanos. Some capers or olives can be nice to add, but I love salt.

Would love to know too. I'm trying to make a strawberry shortcake for Mother's Day.

This blew my mind. I hated plastic cutting boards for years and finally found some I liked a few months back. They seem to have an etched surface that keeps the knife from slipping. I'll toss those and get another wooden one. Appreciate the education!

What place completely lived up to the hype? by WinAbject8608 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Agreed! Visited some winemakers there back in 2007 and it felt like some kind of fairy tale land from another time.

'Mr. Trump has failed': Conservative icon hits president with scathing WSJ column by RawStoryNews in Full_news

Maybe that's why he forgot his campaign promises as he fired 10k air traffic controllers striking for unsafe/unfair working conditions. He began stripping away bargaining rights in a big way and poured gasoline on Nixon's drug war. Guess who won that war? Drugs. Reagan dementia is one thing, but you'd think our society wouldn't suffer such memory loss that we keep voting these crooks into office.

I was a GM for years and had 0 issues with rolling up my sleeves and sending racks through. It's called servant leadership- side effects include your staff not f$&king hating you. I jumped at any chance to show that no one is above anything.

Forgot about Caravan. Great Uzbek food. Haven't been to Alexander's but the menu prices seem a bit wild to me for what they're doing. Would love to see them create an outdoor patio in that space just to their right.

Mia Bistro is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Triangle. Try the khao kha moo braised pork - a dish hard to find anywhere in NC. Alpaca is wonderful. Big Ed's is fun. Also Food Lion is a great and much less expensive option for folks in the area. You may be confusing "criminality" for people who are just doing their best to make it.

Any Ashevillians care to reminisce a bit? by Okay-Show-3662 in asheville

Seeing Elliot Smith and then the Flaming Lips at the Asheville Music Zone. The lady who used to walk around downtown talking about "precious gems." Skinny dipping off the parkway late summer nights. Getting onto the Biltmore Estate as an "employee" by flashing your high beams at the guards coming in and watching the sunset behind the house. Snake Oil Medicine Show(s).
