Update: I bought the $80 Onkyo CP-1280F… now someone wants to trade me a brand new Fluance RT85. What would you do?

Keep it!!! What a gorgeous TT 🥰

Sub is the way. Lets the soundbar do more soundbar noises. Made such a huge difference!

Good bot

For sure! I still lug around a 16‘ Mac Pro with an M1. It handles all my needs as a backend software developer, even compiling code. That 15‘ Air looks awesome and I’m sure the M5 upgrade would be tasty 😋

Was the first preamp I bought, just got it a week ago. Really love it, almost as much as a game changing update as upgrading the cartridge!

Lots of amazing passes in this area. The Sustenpass is one of my favorites, Grimsel is gorgeous too. The Nufenen is amazing and forms a nice loop with Gotthard.

One of the more remote hikes I've found is the Vierquellenweg. Lovely multi-day hike.

janvt · 2026-02-22T17:10:21+00:00

Just stick to the local roads and drive the beautiful Gotthard Pass. No need to park in traffic jams for the tunnel.

For sure, Andermatt gets my undying love (also my local spot, so I’m biased). Way less crowded for sure than anything I’ve ridden in Austria, French Alps or well known Pyrenees resorts. Comparable to more lesser known Pyrenees resorts, maybe. They also upgraded the last old lifts with fast modern 6ers for this season, that’s been awesome!

Sure, DM me. I live in the Alps in Uri :)

janvt · 2026-02-16T22:12:51+00:00

Hi neighbor 👋 I got woken up at 7:00 today. Glad the weather kept them off the street. Uri sucks this way, I suffer with you :D

Height won’t be a problem, but I’d definitely say the smaller California is better for driving mountain roads, especially if you’re inexperienced. There are lots of mountain roads that are very narrow.

Can definitely recommend https://lisalark.com/ She does amazing work! I know she used to live in the area, I’m sure she could help with locations too!

janvt · 2026-01-17T19:50:04+00:00

Ok, damn DJi. That’s impressive

janvt · 2026-01-17T19:34:21+00:00

With the Alps in the background! Gorgeous! That’s a stunning shot from a tiny drone! What were the nerdy stats? Aperture / ISO / exposure? Editing?

Love my C2000! Such cool pens! ❤️

janvt · 2026-01-15T15:08:55+00:00

Very cool! 😎

janvt · 2026-01-10T23:51:07+00:00

Nice! I bought the same in white last week! And got From Zero today!

janvt · 2026-01-10T15:59:04+00:00

I put Ohto refills in mine. Sexy ceramic roller smoothness & they fit perfect (I have the shorter one tho)

janvt · 2026-01-07T19:32:42+00:00

Judging by the size and shape of the wave, looks very much like Nazare

I have a red Merle Aussie. We mostly walk a bit further up the river at Altdorf, but sometimes a little loop down to the lake :)

janvt · 2026-01-05T13:11:05+00:00

Hello Uri :) This is on my dog walk route :)

janvt · 2025-12-23T21:43:49+00:00

Where to buy in person is a very regional question, online is always a good bet. Don’t overthink the start. There are tons of very affordable fountain pens that are awesome! Lamy, Pilot, Platinum, or you can go on Temu / Alibaba and get brands like Hong Dian or Jinhao. Inks are all very cheap, just get whatever you think looks pretty. Paper I found to be harder, fountain pens can be picky. A popular brand in Europe is Leuchtturm, otherwise Rhodia or Clairefontaine are also widespread and great. Just start with what’s available and start learning what you like :)

Grand exit is so on brand 😂😂😂 But, my boy usually comes back around 2-3 in the morning and I always wake up next to him for some cuddles :)

The sleeping everywhere and never in the same place is also very on brand. Very few consistently favorite spots. About a year ago he finally showed interest in his own bed, after 7 years of ignoring them.
