It's very important to keep houseplants and dried flowers within range of the gas stove. Huge part of horticulture. So many people fail to realize this

I think my favorite part of this is he spent so much money and decided the symmetry of his bathroom rock feature was more important than the faucet reaching the tub.

Sound is too clean these days anyway. No freaking noise floor since we moved away from cassettes. About the closest I can replicate is usb power noise picked up by aux cables.

I remebered my first interaction with 3O. I went and looked up the thread. What's really strange about reading a thread that's a few years old is seeing just how many people posting in it are permabanned or just regular banned and didn't come back. I also found this:



That guy hasn't posted since April 2020. Maybe someone should sit him down, give him a cup of chamomile tea and then spend several hours explaining what has happened since.

fidelity isn't even a factor for cables
as long as they're built to the correct standard, undamaged, and theyre not wrapped in coils or running over a ton of other electronic gear/cable, they're not gonna impact quality in any way if you have the right amp/gauge/speaker combo

audiophile culture is almost totally made out of old wives tales from burnout 70s groupies for different classic rock bands who saw the audio techs doing stuff and started a homeopathy-style cargocult saying the shiny polished brass humbuckers and a lightwood body give an extra bright tone to a guitar and the vacuum tubes in their amp for their vinyl record player give it a warm mouthfeel

the main thing they seem to have in common is not knowing/denying how audio signals, speakers, & acoustics actually work, they're kinda like chiropractors but for sound
(*lots* of overlap with musicians who refuse to learn theory because "creativity doesn't need rules", i think some weird
shared complex? more research is needed...)

proper placement and acoustic treatment matters more than anything tho for sound quality fwiw, $500 and $3,000 speakers sound the same without it, the $3k ones might even sound worse

I think someone else bought him that, so maybe there's a reason they haven't posted since 2020.

Goddamn Dyson.

I remember about 20 or more years ago when he first started marketing his stupid cyclone vacuum cleaners. They advertised it as never losing suction power, like a hoover does when the bag is almost full. My dad, being the technophile that he is, had to have one. Never losing suction power isn't a big sell when there is barely any to begin with. It couldn't lift cigarrette butts off the tile floor of the bar.

It got locked up in the attic along with the excercise bike and the fondue pot.

Dyson is not a genius. I hate to bring politics in here but what sort of buisinessman who relied on exports supported brexit? He could have failed his way into Elon Musks shoes if circumstances were different.
