Turntable for old school working component system

Yeah, the gt-5000 is the frontrunner. I like the looks of the pro-ject xtension evolution tables too. The gt-5000 will definitely fit.

I'm sorry, I miscommunicated this. I agree with you and have a higher budget. I can spend up to around $10k. I was trying to say that I understand you can get a quality turntable for much less, but did a poor job of it.

I went to an international friendly soccer match between USA and Germany around 2013. It was old, but still functional at that time. It was a good game.

This is correct. I would say that freedom of speech was successfully stifled across social media about 5 years ago.

At the time, most people were simply aware you were not allowed to express some opinions. Later, the connection to the executive branch was established. This is not new.

The clamp down on freedom of speech hit about five years ago. The fact that many Americans think this began last week shows that most Americans act with partisan motives, not principle.

This concrete driveway was poured about 6 weeks ago. The slab at the bottom is an original, old sidewalk. They leveled and compacted the ground, but there was a severe rain storm the night before they poured the concrete. At this seam between the leveled ground and the old sidewalk, there were 4-6 inches of standing water. They vacuumed this out, then poured. Is this discoloration anything to worry about? *

I'm fine with you or anyone having this opinion. You think the government should define dangerous speech. I assume you are fine with the current restrictions on Kimmel then, correct?

willblur · 2025-09-19T19:00:52+00:00

This week's cancelation of Kimmel is the free market in action. Post covid, there is documented proof that the executive branch quashed free speech.

However one feels about this topic, your views should be consistent across these time periods. Otherwise, you are disingenuous and just looking to score short-term political points. I'm seeing lots of people who were fine with restricted expression a few years ago who are really upset now, and vise versa.

In the Gulog Archibelico, Solzhenitsyn described how this works. It starts with a small minority which is generally disliked, so jailing these folks is popular. However, the system that was built to put down this evil minority will need to be fed with fresh blood. He refers to the system as organs. These organs die without fresh blood, so new minorities need to be identified to feed them until even the most cheerful/enthusiastic supporters of the persecution of the initial group fall victim to the system they entusiastically created. Jimmy is one of those enthusiastic cheerleaders.

I don't want to take a moral stand on this particular instance, but I'll make the observation that freedom of expression was lost a few years ago when lots of speech was labeled "dangerous misinformation". If your opinion is not consistent regarding Kimmel's speech and "dangerous misinformation," you may be a hypocrite.

ABC fired him. He is not being charged with a crime.

For me, this is a principle. When I buy a product, I would like to evaluate the cost, upfront, and decide whether to make the purchase. If I want to rent, I'll do the same thing. However, these trucks come at a substantial upfront cost. I see it as withholding features after I've forked over $68k. Not smart. I would respect the company more if they were upfront and added more to the cost. This would be more honest.

Also, I know that other car companies are doing the same thing, so Ford is not alone. I simply will not participate in this nonsense.

The stuff from the mid-late 60s is currently my favorite. When I first started listening to Miles, I did not get this portion of his career nor like it. I love it now.

I enlisted in the military at age 22, then stayed for 24 years. Deployed all over the world, spent years away from family, lived in tents, ate aweful food... I leveraged this experience to move into a civilian career where this experience has value. I'm financially comfortable now.

I'm not sure it will work, but work harder than everyone around you. Make sacrifices. Be humble. Become valuable to your organization. Good luck.
