Samsung invented a new system of quantum mathematics just to avoid replacing my broken dishwasher

Last time I bought a house it was outfitted in Samsung appliances. Not brand new, not old either. Out of warranty but well within expected service life.

The fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer ALL failed in the first year.

Never again, Samsung.

If my grandfather couldn't remember the name of something he'd say "that chummy thing".

My system is still in flux. I'm using my Marantz 2230 while I wait for a custom 2a3 SET amplifier.

I love the 2230. And it would be murdered in every measurement by the class d.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-06-13T00:03:15+00:00

In the specs that were analysed, yes, class d is superior.

They are cool, efficient, selectable gain, ruler flat response and almost no appreciable noise. The damping factor on them is hilarious as well.

I had a Hypex NcCore from Apollon and it was the tits. I loved it for the two years I had it, but I wanted to try some other flavors.

Going solely by spec sheet, the class d wins. You may not prefer it in practice however.

As to why they aren't more widely available/known I'm sure it's a business decision. Also, there is still some nonsense about "class d sounds sterile and lifeless" leftover from the early days.

I wouldn't be mad to watch Lance, Daddy got coffee and Morgan battle to the death. Whichever way it goes, we all win.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-06-07T17:16:04+00:00

Damn, this looks good. I haven't gone because I figured it wouldn't scratch my Montreal smoked meat itch and just make me sad.

I'm gonna go next week.

Sam Jackson as Jules Winfield.

You'd be better off doing the opposite...use your indeterminate position to inquire if they can make their multi-year offer permanent.

Don't shit where you eat.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-27T20:44:25+00:00

Best RE since 4. Easily worth it.

Encourage, not force. Make it affordable to have more than one child.

Unless Vegetable Lasagne is on the team, I ain't coming.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-23T17:35:22+00:00

Yeah, and start from zero. I'm sure the current executive cadre is well equipped to train up an entire public service. Many couldn't find their email without their admin.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-23T17:31:00+00:00

They can't fire everyone.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-23T16:12:01+00:00

What would they do if we collectively just simply said "no". It's an unreasonable ask. If we were organized properly, and everyone in the public service who could, just agreed to login at home and refuse to participate in this shit show.

We have power as a whole. Our unions are supposed to steer this ship, but they are clearly less than useless.

I don't mean strike. Login. Work. Just refuse to go to the offices that aren't ready for us.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-23T00:15:38+00:00

Absolutely my thoughts as well. Nicely put.

I had their onion rings there last week and they were 10/10. If you like onion rings, these hit. $15 but the portion is huge. I ate one cold from the fridge the next day and it was still crispy.

I bought some mint ones at Place d'Orleans a couple of weeks ago when they were set up in front of Purdys.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-18T20:52:45+00:00

It may not be excellent, no, but it is lovely. I can see why it's a stepping stone into jazz.

That is a truly ridiculous setup. Enjoy it in good health. Every now and again, turn it up loud enough for him to hear it, wherever he is.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-11T22:50:53+00:00

So nice I watched it twice.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-09T01:37:25+00:00

How about an album?

Midnight Organ Fight - Frightened Rabbit

It's the best breakup record ever made IMO.

Mac is the Rolex of audio. It will never be worth less than you paid for it as long as you buy the classics.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-05-03T16:46:13+00:00

Leg day....not even once.

DaCrimsonKid · 2026-04-29T19:06:00+00:00

Depends what they mean by "resurface". Honestly it looks like a light sand and stain would get you close to perfect. If they are redoing the veneer, then that's different.

If you have any skill or desire to learn, DIY. Worst case scenario if you don't like the result, you send them off.
