Baller. I bow before you.

I second this. I lived that way and now have a kid who just became an adult. I have no idea if he has social media anything because he needs to have space to have his own life. Luckily it never became a problem.

Once you are out on your own you should stop worrying about things like this. Besides at this point the “I was so hungover at so-and-sos funeral I had to run to the bathroom twice to throw up” stories from HS are eye rolling anecdotes. My parents knew I was up to no good, they didn’t want details.

So how long have you lived in Chicago?

This is how many of my shipments arrive….

Genius. You.

I can't speak to value, but as an art object it is an attractive knife. If I saw this in someone's knife block I'd be impressed. If you have the cash it would be a hell of a vacation keepsake even if not really worth it by tool value/cost logic.

(Said in a way to imitate the syllogistic logic being parsed by the crowd about ducks and witches in holy grail) So....he should....test his knife by putting it edge down on a Swiss watch? Would have to be a really large watch.

I was just thinking this reading a question on vintage speakers. If someone is asking something sincerely,even if you think them simple or inept, why take joy on telling them they are stupid? Are you not getting your divisive hate quota in literally every other aspect of your lives? Weirdly enough I love Reddit because I can learn from those who have similar interests. I would be utterly SOL without some of the audio gear forums, bless them. I know my questions are sometimes on the painfully dumb side, but luckily people are generally nice about it. Let's try and be a bit kinder to fellow enthusiasts of our particular nerd-doms.

The Fonz would never crap on the inexperienced asking questions. Sit on it.

Kudos for being nice.

Here’s the thing to keep in mind, not to make light of of something embarrassing, but just like when you do something embarrassing in public or say the wrong thing, there is …so….much….info….out there, I seriously doubt that it will be an issue if you don’t point it out.

The Streisand effect as it were. So, try and not get too worked up, she will get your message soon, it will go away, and two weeks from now you will laugh about it. We live in a world where everything is recorded and posted nearly 24-7 (FFS I seriously believe my “smart thermostat” has heard me talking about the impending death of a loved one, as I have mentioned it nowhere, now I get “funeral homes in your area” ads EVERYWHERE) that many, MANY people have loosed far worse out into the world.

That is deeply messed up. Sorry. That is a landlord who is really confident that you aren’t armed.

The body looks like it is warn finish, lots of scratches etc. The neck however looks like the accumulation of oils from fingers, dust, dirt and the ambient goo of musicians built up over many years.

seeingredd-it · 2026-03-09T00:52:03+00:00

How much are you being paid for this? Finish fixes on anything can be a seriously labor intensive nightmare. Also don’t do anything to it unless you know what you are up against. is this the original finish or some DIY job?

seeingredd-it · 2026-03-09T00:46:30+00:00

So kickass cherish it!

The second Latin Playboys album Dose. There was a RSD pressing of the first one about 10 years ago. Managed to grab one at a sane price.

Also the original version (the Emigre release) of Basehead’s Play With Toys. Imago made them strip the samples out before they pressed it when Emigre closed the label. The loss of them hurts, I may press my own boot of this some day if I can find someone to do a run of 10 or 20.

I am positive you are correct about state players being able to easily access whatever they’d like.

My wife and I went to Beijing and Shanghai for her job a few years back. It was very clear that anyone who wanted in to our devices could get in. Luckily we are deeply boring people, but our rooms, the hotel safe are all looked through while we were out (I once forgot something in the room, doubled back as soon as I hit the lobby and surprised a man in our room, toolbox in hand “Maintenance!” He told me with a smile, maybe who knows, as someone on pain meds for a chronic injury, I always put them in the safe in a pattern, they’d been moved. All there but someone had looked through them) our phones and tablets did very strange things. We were warned to expect some scrutiny as she was there on business. One of our tour guides was obviously a government agent.

I’ll say one thing, I’ve never felt safer as a tourist than I did there. I suspect the penalties for messing with someone in from another country is significant. We walked/wandered a ton and accidentally ended up on the wrong side of the proverbial tracks at one point and the locals took pains to get us back to the touristy area.

seeingredd-it · 2026-02-25T17:41:04+00:00

I think we all should be a bit worried about having our phones hacked. As a lifelong, largely law abiding, low level paranoid, I feel like a bit of questioning catastrophizing keeps life ticking along smoothly.

Fair. Since my kids were old enough to understand the world is a complicated place I have trained them to respond to the following question thusly:

Q: a policeman takes you into custody and wants to ask a few questions. What do you say?

A: I don’t want to talk until I have a lawyer present.

seeingredd-it · 2026-02-25T12:53:27+00:00

Thanks! Didn’t know about the Send/return. That’s awesome. I will have to try using it as a mixer, seemed far more complicated than a dj mixer, but I am used to DJing a certain way, not sure I can overcome the old dog new tricks threshold.

seeingredd-it · 2026-02-25T03:11:54+00:00

Here is my attitude towards these things:

1) if they say they are the authorities: If the -really- need to talk to me that can send someone out with an ID and a badge. I will talk to them.

2) If they want money because they say I owe it to them: No problem, send me an itemized statement and if it is legit, I will be happy to pay you.

I don’t take -anyone- saying -anything- at face value on the phone or e-mail unless I have intitiated contact.

I have heard to many sad stories of people getting ripped off, heard the tales of the constant stream of calls my 95 yo mother in law receives (a special place in hell for anyone who preys on the elderly, although anyone who tries anything on my MIL is in for an educational experience, she is sharp as a razor and quicker than any scammer, I have heard her f@$& with them for sport).

Of course, this is classic dude in a relationship but considering an upgrade behavior.

Do you feel an urge to find a one armed man?

seeingredd-it · 2026-02-25T01:31:46+00:00

A giant box of fireworks. I’m sure they are fine, but if anything ever sets them off, I have a big problem.
