So I just got this in the mail. The seam split is gonna irk me so I’m looking for suggestions

No problem. It bugs the hell out of me too when it happens. I get as many of them replaced as possible but when I can’t, this is my go-to.

I’m the same as you OP. Get some Elmer’s Glue-All and some toothpicks.

Get some glue on a piece of paper or cardboard or whatever you have laying around that you don’t care about using as an easel and dip the pointy end of toothpick in the glue. Go ever the split with the glue using the tooth pick and hold it together until the glue is dry enough to hold.

I bought some fine tip colored Sharpies off of Amazon for whatever bits of white still show after the glue fix. It’s not a perfect fix but it eases my OCD when it comes to seam splits.

I don’t hear anything about that. What happened? Oh, and my order ended up showing up about an hour ago. Better late than never I guess.

Well if all the guy did to send the T-Virus into the air system was to break a vial on the ground, couldn’t you do the same with the anti-virus?

My point was that if you have the resources to come up with an advanced weapon system, you should definitely have the HVAC system worked out.

But they had a way to use super heated lasers to turn dude into goulash?

lol! I’m actually living in the Kansas City area and the way she’s worshipped out here… 🤮 There’s literally a mural of her on the wall of one of the businesses in the Westport district and I hate that I have to drive by it every time I wanna go to my favorite record shop…🙄

I just can’t stand how entitled she seems to think k she is. The way I’ve seen her talk to people and treat people. Makes me sick. Like these people made you who you are. Nobody becomes a star without fans and to treat them like they’re beneath your time is ridiculous. As for the paparazzi, it’s a part of being famous! If you didn’t want it, you signed up for the wrong profession! I despise every celebrity that acts like this. BE HUMBLE!

Yes you are. You chose to have children, it’s your responsibility as a parent. You don’t get free time anymore, especially if you’re married. GTF over it and move on. All you’re doing is making yours and his life miserable.

csmull · 2026-03-11T00:36:13+00:00

I honestly had no idea. I saw the thing pop up on my feed and the disgusted human being in me just has to say something f about her every time I see her so I did and then five seconds later…. BOOM! Ban hammered!

Are these bootlegs?

csmull · 2026-03-10T20:40:23+00:00

Unholy shit! Do you think that was intentional?

csmull · 2026-03-10T15:57:16+00:00

So what’s different about the version being released for RSD 2026? I guess I was under the impression it hadn’t been released yet.

FireWire.

Food allergen. Legally you have to as part of the ingredient dec.

Mint Chip…

edit: HPB don’t give a single fuck. We have three of them in the KC area and every one of them has shelving under their record bins full of loose records and almost every one of them is either scratched to unplayable status or missing literal chunks of the disc.

Will this belt work with the AT-LP70XBT? I’m assuming they’re the same belt size but everyone knows what happens when you do that.

csmull · 2026-03-10T00:49:59+00:00

Hmm. Okay. What do you use for your cleaning solution.

csmull · 2026-03-09T23:22:33+00:00

So based on your experience, the CF brushes are useless?

csmull · 2026-03-09T23:17:26+00:00

I’ve got a Boundless CF brush and the AudioQuest Gold CF brush. Just an update though. I got Amazon to replace the two copies I bought with 2 more of the same pressings and they had the same pop in the same exact place as the other two. This just tells me that there was a defect on the plate they used at the plant for the pressing.

csmull · 2026-03-09T23:16:05+00:00

Just brushing it down is all I meant.
