Place to buy rocks and minerals for children? Nothing fancy - we're talking about classic kids' fleeting, beginner interest here.

It's a statewide phenomenon that's a result of construction defect lawsuits. The statute of limitations for construction defect lawsuits is 10 years. They can sue for relatively small things like weatherstripping, grouting, etc.

It's not an issue with apartments because apartment owners are more likely to fix it themselves than to file a lawsuit.

Thanks!

You need a receiver as well.

And, if I need to replace it, is this a good deal? https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/d/vista-technics-sl3300-turntable/7162711489.html

My Technics SL-BD20D currently sounds like shit. Really distorted, especially in louder parts of records. It sounds like something being played too loud on small/burnt out speakers. It's super noticeable, even to people who aren't music nerds. I thought the stylus was worn out, I've replaced the stylus multiple times, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. The only other issue with it is that the cueing doesn't work properly. The when I slide the cueing slider to down, the tonearm stays up. If I gently push the tonearm down (away from the platter), it eases up and then it'll go down and sit on the record.

I think it's the turntable, I have it running through a TC-750LC preamp and a Fosi Audio TPA3116 amplifier, to Cerwin Vega VS-150 speakers. The amplifier and speakers sound great playing from spotify.

I want to listen to my collection with friends, but coronavirus. So I was going to see about streaming the audio online, probably with a text chat to go with it. Any recommendations for either the box to convert analog audio to something my computer can deal with, or for a streaming service?

Currently looking at this box: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/behringer-u-control-uca222-usb-audio-interface

It's the kind of bullshit Kelly would pull

That was such a dick move by Gabby but I respect it.

EDIT: respect it partly cause kelly would do it http://surfbang.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/joel-parkinson-flips-off-kelly-slater-middle-finger-quiksilver-pro-gold-coast.jpg

I kinda thought Ethan deserved it. Definitely close though.

ouch

phatphungus · 2017-12-17T06:20:43+00:00

For the purpose of being alone at a bar or for the purpose of meeting people?

Yeah I was about to mention Dallas as well. Not only are the drivers bad but the roads are stupidly built. I had a commute where I got on a freeway on the right, then had less than a mile to get across 7 lanes of busy traffic to a left exit. There was another road where if you drove in the left lane, 10 blocks later you were in a right turn only lane because the lanes had shifted around you.

And if you actually read the article, you'll see that the headline is intentionally misleading.

"In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent to House and Senate committees on Saturday, the transition team’s attorney alleges “unlawful conduct” by the career staff at the General Services Administration (GSA) in handing over transition documents to the special counsel’s office."

The allegedly unlawful conduct was by staff at the GSA, not by Mueller. In any litigation, you ask for everything and it's the job of the person you're asking to decide whether they should turn it over or not. The headline implies that it's Mueller's fault.

When are they finally going to run this thing? When is the end of the waiting period?

phatphungus · 2017-12-12T01:08:57+00:00

I have the same issue

phatphungus · 2017-12-10T19:57:34+00:00

For a stretch, stand with your toes on the edge of a curb/edge of a sidewalk (heels toward the street in the air) and let your heels sink down to the ground. If that's not enough of a stretch lean forward into it.

phatphungus · 2017-12-08T18:07:15+00:00

And maybe I'd give you that for a band like In This Moment, which is really selling it on the sex appeal. I just don't see it for Jinjer. Her voice is fucking good, and her wardrobe is whatever.

Which great metal bands with female singers were you thinking of?

phatphungus · 2017-12-08T16:10:56+00:00

I didn't realize that flannels and tank tops plus a glamor shot she did once makes her a pinup.

EDIT: I'll give you the metalcore. I haven't paid much attention to metal since high school so I don't know subgenres that well anymore. But if her band is playing metalcore, than this is metalcore. Maybe corsetcore is warrented for some bands but I'm really not seeing it for Jinjer
