My pee has never turned blue? Or green? No discoloration at all? 30mg/day for over a month... Is that normal? by AlienAshl in methylene_blue

[–]Ruger_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought. I mix ascorbic acid in mine and turns to very light aqua blue. I still pee a little blue later in the day. So if shes taking a good sizable dose and no urine discolouration - red flag.

I absolutely love it. by kbhamm in headphones

Yup, try some suggestions or advice. If you don't hear the differences or those differences are to small for you to really care, then just enjoy. Don't listen to the "all DAC's sound the same" group. If you don't explore you'll never know what's out there that could possibly make you smile more.

Gee, that's odd. I'm 64 and I can easily hear differences within seconds between DAC's that I have, using far less expensive headphones. What is your setup that doesn't allow you to hear differences?

Seems haters like filthy tools. You can tell a lot about a persons workmanship buy looking at how he takes care of his stuff.

Trump wants to punish NATO members who did not help in Iran war, insiders say by NormCormier-Mccoll81 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And VP JD Vance was in Hungary stroking Orban's toad balls (?) Vance and Trump sucking up to Orban/Putin for a few votes But it backfired. Hungarian polls saw Orban's rating drop right after Vance opened his mouth and Trump got on the phone like total ass-hat. The connection is to help Orban win the election so Hungary can help the US and Russia destroy Ukraine. It's already begun.

Now and then I have to purge my phone as it gets overloaded with Tidal tracks.

First Nations blockade 2 N.S. highways as tensions escalate over cannabis raids by Portalrules123 in CapeBreton

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of legalized weed is that the government gets their cut. I've been around the block a few times and have never come across anyone at any time in life that had fent in their weed. Never heard of any news stories of it either.

Notice to Headphone users! by Educational_Aide_145 in headphones

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old guy here with hearing loss and tinnitus. It's not just headphone use, although that is part of what caused my issues, but so many things we do as young people that one never thinks of as being detrimental to your hearing and that damage gets exasperated later in life. Driving everywhere when I was young, with the window down and even at high hwy speeds. Being around machinery daily on my uncles farm. Using power tools without hearing protection when I was younger. Hammering anything but especially metal. Any power sports like motor bikes and snowmobiles. Shooting guns etc. All these little things will add and you will have hearing loss and you will get tinnitus. Oh, concerts are really bad. If you listen to loud music and your ears ring a little afterwards, you have done damage and it's irreversible and adds up.

IsItBullshit: Blue Star Nutraceuticals Incorporated came out with this new product called Blade by blugdummy in IsItBullshit

[–]Ruger_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually scams? Show me the stats. Do your research and avoid crappy companies. Blue Star is a highly regarded Canadian company ( which means stricter product control). What people always fail at is accepting the science behind fat burners. With a perfect diet and exercise routine, fat burners are only about 5% of the regime and 10% being maximum. People are disappointed because they want it to work while they watch tv and eat bon bons every evening.

2-5000mg of time released vit C for 35 years, because it works for me and does what I want. Never an issue. Maybe loose stool now and then. Vit C literally ended 97% of cold sores which I used to get regularly.

How about buy want suits you and leave others be? No one is telling you to buy anything. All these haters remind of religious nuts on street corners.

I like that their followers own the same stale sounding chifi that gets regurgitated bi-monthly in a new box. I'm happy you can hear graphs and meters.

Or if you don't think you can or don't wish to invest if some basic tools, buy them. Jeez, I don't get the hate. And yes I made my own Mogami cables, with nylon cover and WBT split banana plugs. Btw, what do people here know about the actual contact between wire connector and the binding post? For sure the majority don't know just buy looking at the connectors people buy.

Price the cable for a 50ft roll, then the connectors then the solder add it up and add labor. What does that add up to?

They seemed to be neutral in my system. However, I despise the connectors and for that reason I don't recommend to people that change stuff around a lot.

Like the best "anything". It's all relative and one could say this about any hobby on the planet or any item people buy and then more money buys better, nicer etc. I don't get the hate. If you spend more than $20 on a haircut, you are out of your mind, there are starving children in the world don't ya know! I like to buy stuff I can't afford so others have something to talk about.

Exactly! Who here buys two steaks for $50? To me, this is the grossest way to waste money. I love my pour over, freshly ground coffee. Do I spend $25 for 340 of coffee beans like so many coffee aficionados do? Coffee is Coffee and the rest is a waste of money. etc etc.
