And the award for best comment goes to you. Why didn’t we all think of that?

I’m being serious. Good argument.

People who drive trucks who don’t work in a profession that incentivizes them can all go to hell.

Not at all. But it’s stupid to carry a camo bag while you do it.

I think all people who wear camo look stupid and I’m not afraid to say it. Kinda like how I know I don’t want to engage with anyone wearing an American flag tshirt. Fuck all of them.

Also, yes. A pink diaper bag is a great way to telegraph that you aren’t afraid of what others think. Or maybe that you care so much that you chose pink, but at least that’s not indicative of a bizarre respect for combat and war.

I was on ICQ as well, but most people weren’t. I was generalizing to the contemporary audience.

I’ll stop contributing if this happens.

Congregate outside and make lots of noise so these bastards can’t sleep.

We were the first (of non-computer types) to adopt the web. We rode the AOL Instant Messenger train. What are you talking about.

I can’t imagine an accessory screaming, “I’m insecure in my masculinity!” any more than this.

Also, old records (from early in the CD era) had nowhere near the fidelity of modern records. I played a modern record for my father once and he was astounded how far they’ve come.

Digital fidelity (sample rate) grows more granular in higher frequencies because that’s easier for us to distinguish. (See the Fletcher-Munson Curve from Bell Labs: on a bell curve, we hear best at the frequency of a baby crying.) Think of stair steps that get closer and more numerous over time. That’s a representation of the resolution of the sound across frequencies from low to high. I may be explaining it poorly because I moved away from audio engineering toward a different career a long time ago.

Analog has all the information that’s missing in between the larger, wider steps. It’s not a placebo (didn’t say you called it that). It’s how digital audio works.

My instance isn’t allowing me to upload images for some reason. It had extended downtime the other day, so maybe that’s related. Anyway, here’s a link to a page with a chart that illustrates what I’m attempting to describe.

The industry went to shit after non-nerdy people found out there could be a lot of money in tech. Used to be full of other people like me and I really liked it. Now it’s full of people who are equally as enthused about it as they would be to become lawyers or doctors.

Best headline of the day. I like it a lot.

She was right to do so. Super cute and clearly annoyed.

Another one of those pointless articles… Cassettes have been on the rise for a couple of years now, and for the same reasons that vinyl has been making a comeback; mainly fake nostalgia and the yearning for true ownership in form of physical media.

No. Cassettes sound like shit. They are a very lossy format. Vinyl actually sounds different in ways that people like. My vinyl collection has nothing to do with nostalgia (I grew up after CDs were on the rise). On a solid system, there’s a lot more fidelity in the bass on vinyl.

Mooncake is into voyeurism. Bad kitty!

Let’s extend our unpopular law to more places! Soon, you’ll have to verify your age to see boobs in real life. Which will be pretty unfortunate for teens trying to get busy in the backseats of cars.

The world has basically been in decline since before life began. Or at least that’s how some people perceive it.
