They did a blind test of different cables along with monster cables with “audiophiles” and the participants rated the loving metal coat hanger as the highest quality so LOL if you buy monster cables

audiophiles are like wine and liquor people where every now and then someone comes out and says "all these adjectives are just made up, y'all voted for the $17 Aldi Whisky as best in the world or even wine experts can't rank things consistently" and everyone goes "haha drat that's crazy" and goes back to spending thousands on bottles of booze because "oh that's airy with whiffs of farts and an aroma of toots with an aftertaste of poot sniffing" makes all the big brains nod sagely but audiophiles are even funnier because you can say "yes, this magic rock makes your records sound...depthier, yeah, you can really hear the depth and it's only $10,000" and they'll fall all over themselves to go "gosh I can really hear the depth, you just haven't heard the depth until you've heard it with magic rock"

those were the halcyon days I tell you
not like now
where there isn’t a draw of buttons anywhere and all the connectors only come in packs of 10 or more in plastic boxes on hangars.

thinking of a world where I could have a custom posting rig that operates by flipping a bunch of switches at random like I'm powering up an 80s anime mech.

only if they fail Brandenburg, which is not as simple as "calls for violence"

You can go outside and yell "we should all kill the Nazis" and that's perfectly fine. No likelihood of specific imminent lawless action that you could have reasonably foreseen.

reminds me of the time my car battery was dead so I strapped the battery onto the rack on my bike and rode a couple of miles to the nearest Batteries+

Let me tell you, taking turns on a bike with an extra 90lbs way over your center of gravity requires no small amount of concentration.

I was helping a friend out with their '07 mazda and they needed a new battery. I went to oreilly and autozone and they wanted like 240 loving dollars for an ordinary car battery ityool 2023. not even lithium or w/e

fortunately i have BUSTOS BATTERY CO down the street, it's a warehouse with a small plywood checkout counter in the corner, and they sold me a reman battery with a 6 month warranty for $39 . (i use them for all my batteries and they have never once failed or done any worse than the oreilly ripoffs)

Find the local battery joint, perhaps learn three words of Spanish to make things easier, and your car maintenance bills drop by 75%

yeah, I forget the term, but ask for the batteries that have been sitting on the shelf for long enough that they discount the hell out of them. You can get an AG battery for peanuts.
