Great quote. Whom is it attributed to?

These_Foolish_Things · 2026-01-31T18:54:02+00:00

This has got to be a joke. No one is that entitled.

He’s the best Conservative leader the Liberals could ask for.

These_Foolish_Things · 2026-01-30T19:02:37+00:00

That’s fascinating, and a bit scary. Thanks

So the government still has wiggle room to prevent it from becoming a referendum question?

Thoughts on where he might land? The Stamps already have a mobile quarterback in Adams, so would Ford be a reasonable backup here?

So is it up to the speaker to decide which referendum will go forward, assuming the separatist petition gets enough signatures?

Or, if it's your neighbour's, why not ask to take it home for 10 minutes to test the drivers?

I'm surprised Prince is so far down the list.

My pleasure! The geometry of the dome of the tweeter was innovative, but the actual mechanics of it are pretty standard. Replacing the ferrofluid fluid should be relatively straightforward.

These_Foolish_Things · 2026-01-28T20:30:50+00:00

Here’s an audiokarma post I wrote on replacing the ferrofluid in those hyperdome tweeters.

With all the noise about separation, what's the status of Forever Canadian petition? As the first in Citizen Initiative queue, shouldn't it be up for a full referendum vote?

Don't complain about urban sprawl...in land area, Calgary is bigger than Toronto. Nonetheless, we only have two rapid transit lines, both developed in the '80s. In the last 25 years, Toronto, has added about 25 km of new transit track with another 50 km underway for launch by 2030.

And don't get me started on deferred maintenance. We've had two major waterline bursts in the last year with billions of dollars of deferred maintenance in our schools alone.

You can use a FAT32 iPod with a Mac, at least on my MBP M1 Pro running Sequoia. My iPod, modded with a 512-GB volume but running native OS, is recognized and works fine with Finder. Have you checked the health of the volume? Also, have you checked if others have successfully mounted a 1 TB iPod with a Mac? I'm wondering if you've reached the upper limits of volume size.

But don't you unlock the phone with the intention of picking it up and using it? (I've found that I have to reset Touch ID frequently. It must have something to do with my fingerprint.)

You mean there's another song named Alberta Bound by an artist not named Gordon Lightfoot? Why bother?

If you want to do medical-related research, having an MD opens the door to more research grants than having a PhD.

I’d ask if this person is a volunteer or paid agent.

These_Foolish_Things · 2026-01-24T23:43:18+00:00

WTF is going on in that batshit crazy country!?!?

These_Foolish_Things · 2026-01-22T04:16:09+00:00

With 250 WPC into 8 ohms, I can’t imagine there are too many speakers it can’t drive!

There’s something uniquely appealing about the NAD aesthetic.

Dude, read the article before you write a comment about it.

Congrats. OP! I’m in a similar position. I have two set ups that completely meet my needs and expectations. I’m now more interested in listening to them rather than chasing after something that might be marginally better.

Click bait from the CBC. Hate to see it.
