I'm curious what makes you say that. If the cops are officious enough to ticket a moped for being chained to a bike rack they'd probably pop you for not having plates in addition to the first ticket.

I think in some areas, mopeds with 49cc or less can exist without plates or licenses. Idk though, because owning a moped is dumb as hell.

How does that compare to their 12 yr old "Double Wood"?

I prefer the Double Wood, it's warmer and a longer finish. But one is sherry and one is rum so whatever you like best.

Maybe? I sold my turntables and am planning to use the Kontrol for DJ'ing but also bought the mixer so I can, eventually, get at least one CDJ and one turntable just to play my existing physical media.

Makes more sense now, that's one of the reasons I went with the four channel SX, so I can have CDJs or turntables on two channels without having to switch inputs all the time. Downside is there's no hardware effects outside of HPF/LPF when it's done this way.

I bought a game show. Kinda.



Let me explain: This used to belong to a guy by the name of Art James. He was a fixture of daytime television, hosting shows like Say When, The Who, What, or Where Game, and Catchphrase. After his last show in the 80s, his last role of any particular note was the game show host in Mallrats.

From the 80s until his death in 2004, he ran a touring company that staged games for corporate presentations and conventions. Here's a promotional video for his company from around 2000 or so:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEV6SYj1UA8

What isn't pictured are the nuts and bolts that actually control everything: the relay panel that runs the lights and buzzers, and a computer running windows 3.1 that controls it and the displays. The whole system was custom-built by the electronics department at CBS. And it turns out a friend of mine is friends with the guy who built it -- he was amazed it was still around. I still haven't had a chance to set everything up yet -- It was all shipped out in four theatrical trunks -- and I'm getting ready to move to a new place, but I'll screw around with it once I get settled in.

Is it a modern computer running 3.1 or is this a computer from the 80s?

Definitely from the 80s: it has a barrel lock, a turbo button, 3.25" and 5.5" floppy drives. The control program (which was coded in BASIC) takes inputs from a light pen.

From looking around on the hard drive, this was still being used by CBS as late as 1998. Apparently they didn't wipe the drive when they sold it to Art James, which is why there were control programs, bids, estimates, and design specs for a couple of other shows on there. I'm trying to find my old laptop (the only one that still can recognize a usb floppy drive) so I can copy some of the files over.

I saw this here and was curious. Went to website and did their size calculator. Ordered from Amazon and had it Friday. Watched YouTube video on how to put on and take off.

Been wearing this weekend. I get sore neck and shoulders from desk job.
I can tell big difference in shoulder muscles. Lot looser after taking off. Same with chest and neck.

I'd recommend. But also recommend not falling asleep in it. Not sure if related but woke up with headache. Took off and after a while felt fine. Wonder if blood flow.

I like and will likely get another

I did their size calculator and they said I'd be a L/XL :colbert: I'm worried because it says xs for underbust and waist size and then I hit cup size and it jumps to xl. It doesn't actually even have the right cup size, as it only goes to DD and I am a 32DDD. I'm 6 feet and quite gangly, boobs aside. If I'm sizing for my boobs, it might not fit right in the rest of the shirt.

I'm a guy but will offer what help I can. The support part is all in the back. I would guess try for the fit that is best for your back and waist. If too tight, hopefully you can return.

Action report:

I got it because I tore a muscle doin' super-manly things, so my right shoulderblade is hanging away from my spine, and the rest of my back muscles are over-exerting themselves keeping me together. I've had tension up from my middle back, through my shoulders and up into the base of my head.

Wore it for 8 hours on Saturday, and woke up Sunday feeling better than I have in weeks. I sanded a bunch of furniture in it, and went out shopping and walking around. To me, it was uncomfortable to just sit around in, but moving around and being active, it felt much better; almost like regular active wear. It feels like two hands gently holding you by the shoulders; it takes some of the load off your back muscles all the way down - it grabs your butt/lower back for extra support.. It was good, not great - it isn't life-changing for me, but I'm trying to heal an underlying injury.

I can definitely say it reduces stress on your back muscles. If you can keep the receipt in case you need to return it, I think its worth a shot if you think it might help.
