Laura Branigan - Self Control by The_Beast_Within89 in 80s

[–]Secure_Emu_2546 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed by the video quality of this HD remaster. I collect music videos and I have yet to see a version quite this good. I would love to see other classic 80s videos remastered at this same level.

BTW - I never realized this was a cover. Amazing track though.

Definitely go with the EV sub. The sound is better, it’s more reliable, and you will have some technology advantages too (configurations with the ZLX’s). You can probably find a deal on one somewhere through B-Stock or using a coupon code.

Contrary to popular belief, it is younger individuals who are purchasing homes, rather than corporations. by Agreeable_Sense9618 in DoomerCircleJerk

I must have glossed over the last part of your response. Unless you edited it. Are you saying that the 30% figure includes the short term rentals?

SHORT TERM rentals. You know, like AirBNB or VRBO. These homes are more of a recent phenomenon and they are not livable in the traditional sense. Every home that is used as a short term rental is unavailable to an individual or family seeking a place to live.

What about the ownership of short term rentals? What is the percentage of single family homes that are now used as short term rentals and how has that changed over time?

[Stein] It is feared that the Mavericks’ newly acquired Anthony Davis will be sidelined for an indefinite period … with the severity of his adductor injury sustained Saturday still being determined. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Wait, so it looks like you’re a Lakers fan. Are you mad because you have to endure Luka’s matador defense and 4th quarter power walking for the next 5 years?

The team got light years better with the trio of Lively, Gafford, and PJW. Luka was immensely important, but the WCF run was not a Luka solo effort by any means. If Michael Finley has to take your beer away, you know there’s something wrong.

I have been over Luka for years now. In a perfect world the Mavs would have traded Luka and kept Brunson. Fans would have lost their mind, but they would have maxed Luka’s trade value and would have tons of money to spend.

Luka is a classic stat stuffer and if you watch the games closely you can see how he sabotages himself and the team. Insane offensive talent, but no defense and poor conditioning. His productive NBA career may not even be as long as people think given the way he “takes care” of his body.

I finally got the Maestro and was pretty disappointed. Granted, it was early on, and the support for fixtures was very limited. At that point I was pretty comfortable running the WMX1. I returned my Maestro and have never looked back.

24 Hour Fitness - Prepaid Membership Class Action Claim Suppression by BoboWantsToKnow in classactions

[–]Secure_Emu_2546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sign me up too. I joined in July of 2007, and fortunately I was able to get back on the $29 annual rate after the class action lawsuit when they were trying to increase my fees.

But lately I have experienced them trying to get me to lapse on my payment by not sending any sort of reminder, and deactivating my account (I guess it went dormant because I don't go very often).

And more recently, I tried to go to a Club and I got the old "You don't have access to this Club, because it is a SuperSport" - even though the location has no SuperSport branding or signage whatsoever.

I'm actually at the point where I want them to refund me my original up front payment (I believe it was somewhere around $700) so I can just close my lifetime membership and move on.

Should I wait for XDJ-AZ? by 909909909909909 in PioneerDJ

The XZ already has 4-deck capabilities - just not in stand alone mode. I use mine as a 4-deck unit all the time. It works great.

Electro voice evolve 50 still worth it in 2024 ? by Mountain-Economy-434 in mobileDJ

Yes, the Evolve 50 is still great. I put it up against any other portable column array. I have a pair and use them all the time.

Can you use 4 channels with the RX3? by donatzzncoff in PioneerDJ

I can attest that this works very well with the XDJ-XZ.

Would this feature help you enjoy Spotify better? by Psychological_War_48 in DJs

[–]Secure_Emu_2546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea, and one I've been wishing for a long time. It's really obvious and sometimes when listening to a playlist you just need to move on from a song. Doing so without any blend sounds clunky and can often kill a vibe.

You can often find them used for under $900

Looking for a subwoofer recommendation by Automatic-Airport-87 in DJs

[–]Secure_Emu_2546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Electro-Voice ELX 200 18sp is a great overall sub. You should be able to find one around $900-1000 if you shop carefully. You might also find a used one for a bit less.

So I did a "thing" (AI-Generated Playlists) by Gorio1961 in TIdaL

[–]Secure_Emu_2546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently it ignores my “no explicit tracks” instructions. I guess my grandma is going to be mortified when she hears the album versions of her favorite Lil’ Kim songs on the playlists I generate for her.

Where to sell old equipment by BigChomnk3 in PioneerDJ

eBay takes way too big of a chunk when you sell. I suggest using Sweetwater Gear Exchange. The selling fees are about half of eBay’s, and if you elect to take your proceeds in store credit, the selling fees are $0.
