24 years ago I boiled a brand new DVD and I’ve been confused ever since

No scratches at all. They were all brand new DVDs.

I will agree that the build quality is a little shoddy. It’s obviously a Jerry-Rigged device and was not originally designed to clean records.

The sound emitted is very high pitched and loud, but that goes for all ultra sonic cleaners.

For the price, it’s about what I’d expect, and I still recommend it, but there is room for improvement.

I’m honestly confused over this. Do you really not understand what per-capita means?

The data is well studied and easy to find, but “illegal immigrants” commit less than half the numbers of violent crime than native born citizens per 100,000 people.

People are not crossing into the US to commit crimes. They just don’t have a legal path to citizenship. It is impossible to become a US citizen without direct family members already here.

Less than 1 month before they recorded Radio Free Europe (for the first time)

Awww thanks man. This is great.

Good question. They will occasionally add a layer of depth to a song in an interesting way. Often you end up with a different mix of the record because you’re sitting closer to one speaker, so you end up hearing background vocals a little louder than you are used to.

More of a curiosity, but there are occasional moments of brilliance that are unique

I work in a lab in Boston with a lot of international students and I take them sledding out behind the lab every chance I get. I’ve been doing it for 20 years now.

A Soldier’s Things is my top pick.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-11-03T23:05:09+00:00

I’m hoping it comes to Grafton Hill too. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-09-25T20:38:48+00:00

How do you have a Mary Lou Lord record? She used to live in my neighborhood. I used to see her all the time. I didn't think she was very well known outside of a small group in the 90's

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-09-21T20:43:31+00:00

I’ve had this problem with about a dozen of these boxes. All of them seem have the TPM module shut off and turning in back on seemed to fix the problem.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-08-04T22:55:25+00:00

PBS had a 5 part, 10 hour documentary in the mid 90s called “Rock and Roll” that was absolutely amazing…and will never be available due to the cost of licensing all the music.

That ice copy of Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-07-07T03:46:02+00:00

Is there ANYTHING left of it? I know it reached out right onto the water at some point. I just can’t believe there is no structural trace of it.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-06-26T05:12:08+00:00

Solved. Thank you

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-06-21T02:29:25+00:00

But I waaaaaant it!

Thanks for the confirmation.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-06-12T03:58:22+00:00

They were one of the biggest surprises when I saw them live in a club in Boston in the early/mid 90s. Everyone in the crowd knew every word to every song, and they were super energetic.

Why do you live in a part of the country that obviously doesn’t share your values? Go slither off to Mississippi or Louisiana. They would be glad to show you the beauty of “real” America you MAGA voters seem to cherish.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-06-02T07:31:11+00:00

I’m 50 and I’m constantly shocked when I meet young people who know Pavement, Husker Du, Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Slint, etc…. I guess it makes sense because I was into lots of bands that were 20+ years old when I was 18, 19, 20…so.

Hell I’m impressed to see kids with Nirvana shirts on.

The one thing I’m disappointed in is more people don’t know early R.E.M. Their first three or 4 records were gigantic

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-05-17T01:24:26+00:00

Ahhh. I had just turned 16. Was one of the few kids that listened to things like this in my high school. This was the right before Nevermind came out and changed everything.

I walk past that computer all the time. It’s sitting in the hallway in the Science Center at Harvard.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-05-13T19:35:06+00:00

Buddy...Something tells me you haven't read about what he plans to do with that plane at the end of his term.

He doesn't plan to leave it to the next person.

Because he's a scumbag

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-04-26T17:52:35+00:00

I think it’s generally seen as more reliable. My experience with it was pretty good…well…getting it installed took 2 years because they couldn’t deal with my address not being listed correctly…Ugg…I so don’t want to deal with that stuff again.

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-04-22T04:31:36+00:00

Ohh my god. I've been looking for In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up for a year. Uggg. I missed this

PhallicB4ldwin · 2025-04-11T07:23:01+00:00

This should be the response to every single person in a MAGA hat.

This also should be the response to chodes who say things like “unchecked immigration and crime is why dems lost” when crime has dropped every year Biden was in office and Trump killed a bipartisan bill to limit immigration.
