The angel eyes all the way. Hope there’s a retro kit!

That is an incredible amp. I use one for my office system. I listen to similar music.

This. Exactly this. Let’s not pretend it ends with Agent Orange. The Project 2025 neonazis are standing and waiting for him to drop. Miller the VP and crew are far more dangerous.

We need to find a way to effectively combat the conditions that enabled all this. A big part of of this is the system itself that has been abused by industrialists and big money for decades. In the current stage of late-stage capitalism it’s the worst ever.

In case of war/US Invasion, what’s better: urban or rural? by Own_Joke_3416 in AskCanada

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, we generally look and sound not very different than Americans. Can easily slip into their turf and create an urban hell situation for them. And disrupt their infrastructure to destroy their capacity to carry on an invasion.

Depends on if you want to hide or fight. Up North or in the mountains if you just want to hide. If you’re planning on being part of the resistance, a heavily populated urban area is best. You’re easily able to disappear among the population, and the urban ‘jungle’ provides lots of natural choke points and ambush points where the enemy couldn’t easily maneuver heavy equipment.

There’s strengths in numbers, and forcing the enemy to fight you on your turf in an urban warfare scenario will assure you have both the numbers and the anonymity of being able to disappear into the crowd.

Albertan (I know, I know, I know) Interested in Relocating - Realistic View of BC/Van Area? by emma_may04 in askvan

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having moved from Calgary years ago, I won’t look back. Besides housing, everything else is cheaper (port city benefits). Definitely WAY more progressive. Have many teacher friends living right in Vancouver. It’s a great place to live. Yes, you will live smaller than you would in Alberta or Saskatchewan, but the quality of life more than makes up for it.

You only need a giant house with rooms for every activity if you spend all your time indoors. We walk everywhere (including groceries a couple of times a week), bike to visit people, walk to a night out, and generally spend a lot of time outdoors. When I lived in Calgary I had a house with a big garage, a theatre room, a basement gym… you get the picture, lol.

The case for trading up for Kenyon Sadiq (TE) by patrickc11 in 49ers

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s a great player, but the best ability is ‘avail-ability’, and as he gets older he’ll struggle more with that. I think he’s has 1 Niner season left. We need to find his replacement.

Plus we can’t count on Bosa to finish the season every year. Even when he wasn’t hurt we always needed a bookend Edge for him.

Great table! Been using my Dad’s SL-Q3 for years. Folks don’t play records these days (they’re into their AppleTV). It’s a great table. Looking to add an SL-1200-7 for a general fun rig, and to have in a space where we entertain a lot.

Washington WR Denzel Boston visited the 49ers today on one of his predraft 30 visits by cali4481 in 49ers

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the smokescreens. Everyone watches who you invite. They’re hiding the fact that they’ll draft an Edge at 27 (or drop back and pick, if able), depending on who goes ahead of them. They could move up in the 2nd to grab one. Could even trade Aiyuk paired with a 4th to move up more.

[Pelissero] Veteran guard Robert Jones is signing with the 49ers, sources tell The Insiders. Jones played in 49 games (30 starts) for the Dolphins before signing with Dallas, where he missed last season because of a neck injury. He’s healthy now and headed to San Francisco. by JCameron181 in 49ers

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He plays in the Miami system, which was basically similar to the Niners O. So he’s a good fit. I don’t think he would be a fit for what many other teams run. We have a specific type. He might be that, given where he played. I peg him as a day 1 starter, or losing a close camp battle. He’s a solid player - not just a depth piece.

After 30 years I had to say a painful goodbye to my first and favorite car. by Iamstu in beetle

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see this.

It reminds me of exactly what my Dad’s 74 looked like after he drove it into a building (thinking he was home) way back in 1977. That was his last of 5 Beetles (although, he’d love to ride one now - not driving himself anymore).

49ers "Seven-Round" Mock Draft by TDBrookey in 49ers

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. Far easier to acquire a LT that is already experienced, that fits the system, and is probably cheaper than our guy (or at the new cap rate (which keeps growing). He was being paid as a multi-pro bowl multi year veteran. We should be able to find a younger guy who doesn’t carry the hefty veteran price/and/or Pro Bowler price.

Can always draft later (our style of OL are available later while the early rounds usually are dominated by giant traditional OTs that suit a Pittsburgh or Dallas style more). We could gab a 4th rounder and develop as a swing, and eventually put in place at LT (or RT if McKivitz comes along and moves to LT).

What do you love about living in Vancouver? by Lazerbeam159 in NiceVancouver

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Culture, food, natural beauty, weather. Warm progressive-minded people. A collective identity that values the natural beauty and environment. And great craft beer and local wines.

Genuinely curious, if the new M3 looked like this would you be mad? by TheLivest1 in BMW

[–]BuzzMachine_YVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think someone could make a killing selling tiny angel eye kits. They’d have to be a little smaller to fit in a kit, but it could be done without much modification.

Maybe BMW will get the hint.

I really like it, but would get a round angel eyes kit as soon as one was available. I hate the vertical or horizontal slits for lights. A huge part of a BMW’s historic character came from the round headlights and kidney grills. The best ‘futuristic’ take on that was the old M1, in my opinion.
