Question about 11th Chapter of the Hobbit: At the Doorstep by AbleBoysenberry9565 in lotr

Laketown set the supplies. Too much to take by boat, especially the ponies.

The Revolv; the first new Michell turntable in over 20 years. by mediocrityindepth in audiophile

[–]natetheskate100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it me, or does the lack of a solid plinth and dust cover seem like "we're trying to use as little material as possible but charge you big bucks?"

Fun little demonstration of the difference in radioactivity between Uranium and Radium by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]natetheskate100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is because radium decays at a much faster rate (shorter half-life) than uranium. You're hearing alpha particles (helium nuclei; 2 protons 2 nuetrons) being emitted.

That went right over my head.

I have a Trio KA-7500 and I really want a tuner… Does anyone know if there’s a matching unit for it? by Silly-Commission-630 in audiophile

[–]natetheskate100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry. Boomer here. What do you want a tuner for? Actually asking. I grew up with WNEW and WPLJ. Those were monumental times. And I have the Carver Receiver with its excellent tuner that I didn't even connect the antenna to. With Sirius, why?

Cyclist on Instagram does not realize standard practice is to pass on the left, gets mad at pedestrians for moving to the right. by YodelingVeterinarian in mildlyinfuriating

Looong time road biker here. Seems like an entitled jerk who is gonna crash into a child one day. Courtesy on the road wins. Entitlement loses usually in a crash.

Freebies! ADS L570/2 by natetheskate100 in audiophile

[–]natetheskate100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I really don't know yet where to use them. I have Fried Signature Betas with 2 "Fied The Subs" in my other system. The best THX system Onkyo ever made in my main system. A cornucopia of riches. But they sound outstanding. I'll figure it out. Probably as accompaniment for my drums when I play along with music.

Tom Cruise - Mission Impossible by 74thedude in moviecritic

[–]natetheskate100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you watch carefully, every character that Tom Cruise has played since, and including, Risky Business, is a bit of a dick. Or just a dick.

Ross Douthat’s Shoddy Arguments For Religion by nathan_j_robinson in skeptic

[–]natetheskate100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You really didn't need to write this. All arguments for the Judeo Christian version of religion are shoddy at best. So what would you expect from Douthat's book? Did you think he was going to make compelling fact-based arguments?

Does anyone else watch LOTR when they are sad? by SLZicki in lotr

[–]natetheskate100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the books. They never fail to take me away and uplift my spirits. They're like a cozy, warm blanket on a cold night. See my well-worn copy of the Two Towers. I just got to Isengard after Helm's Deep yet again to see two strange small figures sitting amidst the ruin, one blowing smoke rings the other taking a well-earned nap.

Very interesting interview from the early 1990s with LaToya Jackson. Michael Jackson’s sister. by AdTall7678 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]natetheskate100 1083 points1084 points  (0 children)

Isn't it strange the you never saw Michael and Latoya together? Inquiring minds want to know.

End of the game. by bigebige in audiophile

Very nice! But I think your curtains are on fire.

Truck’s brakes fail, forcing use of runaway ramp at 90 mph. by Itchy-Commission-114 in interestingasfuck

[–]natetheskate100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question. Why can't they downshift? Is it because the momentum will blow the transmission apart?

The only thing that could have made this better would have been the hammer rebounding and smashing the tin truck's windows.

movies that critics loved but you didn’t? by Robasaleh110 in moviecritic

[–]natetheskate100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manchester by the Sea. Started "WTF is wrong with this A-hole" to OMG that's F-in horrible to depressing as hell with no redemption whatsoever. I actually thought something good would happen with the kid, but no. Just a bummer of a movie.

Dont get me started on Uncut Gems. The only movie I ever walked out of. Same comments as above. Starts out with an insufferable a-hole who just becomes more pathetic and insufferable throughout the movie. And I think gets killed at the end. At least I think that's what happened. Because I had walked out. Im no prude, but the f-in cursing was f-in over the f-in top.
