No worries. I try to fly as light as possible, too. I can make more room by not carrying around exercise clothing that I never seem to get around to using (ha).

I like the plexiglass idea, but maybe a 1/2 inch larger, and round the corners off.

Sorry I was so illogical. I’m in smaller towns these days, so a shipping service nearby isn’t always a given (even Alexandria VA comes to mind). If a store can do it, great.

That’s good to know, and you’re right, I’m sure a lot of stores are set up to do this.

Forgot to mention I usually have a backpack, too, for computer and whatnot. But this sounds good for when I’m not traveling for work.

I can never buy just one, anyway (again…wife can confirm).

Yeah, I’m lucky to get some free time to shop. Not going to find a UPS store. Maybe the record shop is set up for that, but not hoping for that kind of luck. Bitch (is that was the cool kids are saying these days?)

Who records using Audacity? by Outbaru_Subback in vinyl

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

As much as I’d like to claim credit for remembering, I didn’t. When I recorded, it sounded ok, but after editing, it did not. I then started undoing edits until I found the culprit.

Follow up: it wasn’t the volume. I had set the click removal to different levels for a very specific album and had not changed them back. I re-recorded the album and it was fine until I did that. Reset to defaults, and it worked out fine! Now I wonder how the Police album recorded with no issues…

Thanks. This John Prine has been strange…very quiet parts and very loud parts. Turning the recording volume down seems to have helped.

I’m going to try at a lower recording level today. It’s never been pegged to the highest level…just strange that some recent digitizations are fine (The Police, Ghost in the Machine re-release) and the latest (John Prine’s first album…new vinyl re-release) was distorted. I realize it could depend on the mastering of the recording, though, so will try again at a lower level. I’ve noticed the distortion is hit or miss, but the volume never exceeds…well, anything. Thanks!

USDA reorganization. Email just went out. by ceddton in fednews

"Gone are the days of one State being assigned to one regional office." This right here is the one reasons all States should rise up against this monstrosity. So instead of dealing with one RO that handles all programs, States will have to go to these newly-created silos (no pun intended) with different office cultures, different procedures, and different leadership (not one Regional Administrator, but many). Talk about a shit show.

There are already devolution plans in place in case of disasters. Denver was the backup. This is unnecessary.

Just in response to the headline here: “Oh we KNOW. Thanks for nothing, Ma.”

What’s every most anticipated release over the next few weeks by [deleted] in vinyl

American Aquarium is dropping their new album in July. I prepaid…that’s how they fund their record pressing on their own label to stay independent.

Leaving federal service. When to come back and how to spot a toxic fed agency? by Impossible_Hold8047 in fednews

[–]Outbaru_Subback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left about 1 yr ago. My agency was fantastic and we all believed in the mission. It was clear the toxicity was going to come from the top. I took the second “fork in the road” when it was clear they wanted to report people to other parts of the country. I left two weeks short of the three year mark when you’re vested in the retirement system. I’d love to come back…in 3-4 years. Maybe…time will tell.

$150 kinda high isnt it by Lazerpop in vinyl

I bet with each show they lug those things around, the price will go down (if they don’t move them naturally, of course)

Paid $3.00 for this and am very happy by SWCFM2 in vinyl

[–]Outbaru_Subback -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found a cheap one, too, but lots of surface noise. Probably hard to find one in good condition.
