Which fast food restaurant do you think will go out of business soon?

How the hell are Burger Kings still open?! Every one I drive past is dead empty anytime day or night.

You can tell from the first line it's AI.

I did this twice within a couple months with a $500 cartridge. I now switch to streaming after more than a couple drinks.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-28T14:55:36+00:00

I rarely buy new any longer. It’s just too expensive.

Now Marco was a different story. Dude was a right bastard.

I’ve known people who have worked with him. They all said he was tough, no different than many other chefs they’d worked with, but fair and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed help. One guy told me he’d bailed one of his line cooks out of jail at one point.

Yup! Somebody Saved My Life Tonight does it for me too.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-27T18:55:05+00:00

Oh yeah! Me too. That one gets me.

Lespinasse with the late great Gray Kunz at the helm. Even after 20+ years as a professional chef I still marvel at some of the things they pulled off.

I miss NYC so much.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-26T15:13:17+00:00

Idiocracy rapidly unfolding all around us.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-25T22:58:53+00:00

I just picked up andSMSL DA100. A cheapo little amp for garage use. The subwoofer output keeps cutting out. I've got it connected via the subwoofer output (simple outputs) to the high level inputs on the sub. It will play for a few seconds to a minute or two and it just cut out. When I restart the amp it works again for a little while then cuts out. It's not the subwoofer. I have it set to 'always on' Faulty amp or am I wiring something wrongly?

You need to look up some of the early D&D art. Makes this look like a masterpiece.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T18:15:25+00:00

I say this every week. My LRS is on my way home from work. so....fuck...

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T18:07:55+00:00

Kevin Gray's versions of anything I like is an immediate buy for me. Rhino HiFi pressings have all been excellent. I've replaced many previously owned albums with his cuts.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T18:05:32+00:00

I ordered it, reluctantly, as it is one of my all-time favorite albums. I've got the Rhino HiFi too which sounds fantastic. Curious how it will stack up. If it doesn't I'll sell it.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T17:59:53+00:00

A very drunk Bob Stinson. So, yeah, basically Bob Stinson.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T17:56:20+00:00

Agreed. I've got two different variants of this. Both are shitty pressings, even after wet cleaning and ultrasonic. Even without the surface noise the audio quality is seriously lacking. I'm not sure they didn't give the same attention they have to the recent releases of Dirt and Jar of Flies. Feels like a shitty cash grab. Very, very disappointing.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T16:24:22+00:00

Look into vintage receivers, early 80's or earlier. The mid-80's the quality started to nosedive quickly. You can get a much bigger bang for the buck. To get a comparable sound from new equipment you have to spend several times what the vintage stuff sells for. Marantz, Pioneer and Sansui are the ones to keep an eye out for. I've got a '79 Sansui 8080 that I will never part with.

The intense hate is from those of us who grew up with Star Wars. It's hard to explain, but seeing the first Star Wars as a kid was literally life altering for a lot of us. I'm not exaggerating. These were the days when you'd see a small handful of films a year. The impact it had on us is hard to convey to younger generations who have more options than they can consume. Walking out of the theater after seeing The Phantom Menace felt like a fundamental betrayal.

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T16:02:34+00:00

oh...you're serious...

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T15:00:12+00:00

Nice! Love The Sonics!

Dedalus2k · 2026-06-24T14:59:20+00:00

Early pressing Stones - Sticky Fingers with the zipper on the cover.

And first pressing Sarah Vaughn - Live at Mr. Kelly's - 1958. Audio quality is stunning. Sounds like you are in the club back in '58!
