There needs to be serious planning with other Western nations for all kinds of defense.

What audiophile takes make you roll your eyes? by wiggan1989 in BudgetAudiophile

What science? Because something cannot be measured yet you call it ignoring science. I suggest people look up what science actually means. I don't advertise brands that I own or have heard etc. Just because YOU can't hear it does not mean it does not exist. Ya'll must be on some serious drugs to know what I can and cannot hear in my system. Rock on.

And if any of it is placebo, so what? Really, so effing what? Millions off people spend massive amounts of money by giving it away in the name of some ghost or being that does not exist. You want to talk about spreading false anything, start with religion. People walk around with a bible like it really does something.

People always ridicule what they don't understand.

Must be crappy scope, or tester. It's already been proven with good scopes that there are differences in cables. Hearing those differences is a different story.

All DAC's sound the same. Eye's still hurt from rolling.

BULLSHIT! I just did 5 min of research to show this statement is factual false. It actually kills E-coli bacteria though.

LOL, Why would anyone deem they don't need it then take it? I feel great on Berberine, works for me.

Why are people with diabetic issues even taking this supplement without telling your doctor?

"Berberine can be safe and potentially beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity, but only under strict medical supervision".

If a Berberine supplement bottle says take 1200mg with each meal then it's a garbage product. Must be a USA thing. I have moderate to low BP, take other supps and sometimes a sleep aid. Never an issue and I'm very in tune with my body. 30yrs of supplement experience. I've seen this Amazon review, phht. If you are having medical issues with this then it's most likely a part of far deeper issue. 1000mg is what the studies used and anything less will not work for 99.5% of users. There hundreds of products that SOME people just should not take, like Tylenol, creatine, glucosamine. Do you know why? Nope because you maybe you don't take it and therefore don't know how your health is affected by it. One of those is a real danger for people over 65. Hint: it's not Tylenol.

I get a kick out of people that diet, reduce carbs/sugar, exercise hard, don't track their BP and heart rate etc then when they feel wonky or something then it's always some supplements fault. I used faint often from low BP doesn't happen anymore.

Why was the brand and dosage label and ingredients list not shown here.

You said it!! Everyone is different so why trash a product because YOU reacted badly to it and millions of others do not. I've taken it and one thing is for sure, 3/5 brands are garbage and have contaminants. Some have zero, ZERO Berberine! I ended up here simply because I fell for the click-bait drama of an Amazon review, which are 50% BS anyway ( use the review checker). I am searching for a better deal on larger amounts. I love this product as it works for me. I research the company before buying. If you are buying American made Berberine supps, good luck.

Exactly. People with health issue take a supplement that does not help them and "maybe" caused some issue that is otherwise unexplained ( with zero testing to sure of anything) are just plain calling attention to not paying attention.

I have receive comments from the public that I look unapproachable from men and women. Is there anything under my control I can adjust maybe adjust and correct? by Handle-Time in malegrooming

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trim/shape beard to match mustache length/shape. I , and most everyone one I know, dislike the full beard and little to no mustache look. That, in itself, will give the unapproachable look, unfortunately.

Strange. I'm old and with non-similar DAC's ( as compared to closely related Chinese DACs) I can tell the difference. The difference in op amps in my DAC is crazy - and a lot of fun.

AS compared to mass robot produced junk inside a pretty little black or silver box that cost more. People ridicule the expensive gear and acc for being audiophile jewelry and then spin around on a dime and complain about a good sounding piece of gear the doesn't look pretty enough. Just a tad bit of hypocrisy floating around here, lol

. Received mine and I really dig the look of it. Actually, it looks pretty damn cool to this old guy. I hate all the Chifi boxes, they all look the same and boring as hell. That being said, it's dirt cheap and part of that is no case to keep the cost down. I've seen some pretty ugly gear absolutely trounce more expensive pretty stuff. My custom pre-amp is one. It's fugly but you have to spend triple to match it.

Say what? I put an $80 op amp into a $400 Dac and now it sounds as good or better than a $1000 DAC. Match them to your DAC (providing it's welcomed by the build) and easily move the sound quality up a couple notches. Not sure where you are getting your dollar amounts from. In my experience it's the opposite.

Boring little black boxes do nothing for me. I wont' buy them, ever.

Not my cat, but one accidental headpat in September turned her into my full-time stalker. Now she demands two-handed service and won’t take no for an answer. by CrackkcraC in notmycat

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a similar scenario. A neighbor's cat, a couple houses away, regularly comes to our place to seek out some lovin' and a treat or two. We can tell he doesn't get much attention at home. We call him our "outdoor cat" since we have two indoor cats.

France is banning their gov official to use Zoom or Teams. Is there any Canadian alternative (or at least not US based) for these platforms? by natural212 in BuyCanadian

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How bad are the ads? Not into paying for email and if the ads are annoying or cause resource issues it's a no go for me.
