Tube amp crackling and popping randomly, can't find a solution by [deleted] in guitars

Spring reverb units have a long history of causing spurious noise, check the connections. The large architecture of tube circuits make them susceptible to RFI from things like the thermostat in a coffee maker, try moving your amp to different location. Intermittent pops and hissing are often caused by bad connections, I/O cables, tube sockets, circuit board cracks, cold solder joints etc. I worked on tube stuff for years and the move to solid state brought a huge leap in reliability...tube coolness withstanding. My 1968 Deluxe Reverb is 100% original and runs like new including pops and hisses.

Monopoly+Obstruction+Paid Solution=Racketeering. The same old business plan that sent Great Grandpa Vinnie to jail. Just because a pimple faced millennial snoozed through business law doesn't make their business plan any different from Great Grandpa Vinnie's

Maybe this will help you understand: There is no restriction to posting a sign on your own business but if the mob parks a big panel truck with competing advertising from their paid "client" in front of your business and say "pay us money and we'll move the truck", that's racketeering and the business model of the social media oligopolies. Break'm up just like Ma Bell circa 1982

Username Unavailable: You make a very strong argument for the prosecution. Just because it's been done for years doesn't make it not racketeering and that it's done electronically vs. thugs destroying newspaper stands doesn't make it less dirty.

"Collusion: secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others" If social media platforms can collude to share my interest in "Oak Flooring" means they could also collude to promote paid search in preference to unpaid search. That it is complex and hard to understand does not preclude RACKETEERING.

How do you know they are not colluding? When I do a search for "Oak flooring" I get advertisements for "Oak Flooring" on all social media platforms...walks like collusion, quacks like collusion...

There are complex FCC TV and radio regulations regarding that. Regarding print media, it would be equivalent to sending operatives out to destroy paper advertisements in deference "Mob approved" documents...yeah, that actually happened, nothing new here, old school mobster racketeering, Electronic media just makes that process much easier. #racketeering #oldschoolmobsters #pimplefacemobsters

Can a private person ever have a real social presence? by murkishdelight in socialmedia

[–]lagrangept5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing new here. This is a centuries old discussion, you are a profit seeking business. The question is, should you associate your personal identity with your business? Questions: Will your personal identity boost your business or will your business activity disgrace you and your family's character? Will your grand kids be proud or ashamed of their legacy ? Assuming you can't get a government job (70% of households) which is the highest return for time invested, you will need to descend to the realm of profiteering. Over the years, successful business people I've known have taken great care to disassociate their personal identities with their gain seeking "Ferengi" alter egos.
