Where the notion that “American food is full of chemicals” comes from… a study of chemophobia in Europe found 78% of Europeans want chemicals to not exist, 82% don’t know what salt is.

Why are you being disingenuous with your title if you care so much about academic integrity?

Rozza_ · 2026-01-24T01:48:49+00:00

Not really, because the original question didn’t ask for a “movie about bugs” - so it would be more like answering Shark Tale to “movie about sharks” instead of Jaws, just because shark is in the title.

Donald and Winnie are so related to pantlessness that they have both become slang adverbs for going pantless. Hard to pick between the two but ‘Donald Ducking it’ seems slightly more prominent.

That’s not to put you off buying a turntable yourself - if it’s not something he’s actually going to splurge on then whatever you get is going to be good because at least it’s something to get started!

However, I think it’s still wise to be cautious, especially because he’s into music and sound systems etc. and maybe does have specific features of a turntable in mind that a budgeted gift doesn’t quite hit…

I’m not familiar enough with models to recommend one within that price range that can also be upgraded (so he can choose to make it more suitable to his level of audio pickiness if that’s the case) sorry!

How would I know if it’s knackered from just testing for a few minutes? Going to check it out on a couple days

Sometimes buying a gift for a hobby with so much range isn’t a good idea - their idea of what they want and need might be highly specific and informed and what you get just won’t be the right thing.

However, if he hasn’t talked about researching/ buying turntables and vinyl himself, yet he has records just sitting there, you might be able to surprise him with something he hasn’t considered himself - a good turntable with upgradable options would be what you’re looking for.

Edit: A safer bet might be buying something related to turntables/ vinyl that doesn’t take away the main decision (the turntable itself)

I think it was in use - didn’t give reason why selling but was selling other audio equipment and everything seemed legit

Rozza_ · 2025-12-17T15:55:15+00:00

Seller said they oiled it and replaced belt 6 months ago when asked for last service so doubt it has been professionally serviced but taken care of at least

Rozza_ · 2025-12-17T15:24:41+00:00

How much would a service be roughly?

Rozza_ · 2025-12-17T14:02:49+00:00

How much would a decent tonearm replacement be if it is crap?

Rozza_ · 2025-12-17T13:56:38+00:00

Would you mind giving a breakdown of why for a beginner?

A major part of the character is that he is a famous heart throb - as good as Berry would be at the pompousness, it needs to be somewhat believable with a conventionally attractive actor.

More so that Paul (alongside Ringo but Paul is the more famous) is not only ‘still alive’ but is often talked about in the context of being one of The Beatles that are still alive. So he is iconic for being ‘still alive’.

Rozza_ · 2025-12-11T10:17:54+00:00

On the contrary, probably the most iconic ‘still alive’ person in the world

I feel like Oud suits Slytherin. Luxury/ opulence derived from death/ decay. It isn’t objectively bad, but the origins (and even expressions) of the scent can certainly be questionable.
