Gibsonian sed:
Nope not a stoopid space telescope; something a lot more scientific and stuff.

First thing I thought of.

Indeed. I was waiting for this. Let's move farther up the distribution system, shall we? When will someone urban audiophool please move to a rural area to avoid usage-based surges? An A-B test potentially costing several $100k (I can only hope -- I wonder if one of their snake-oil salesmen owns a moving company).
Would it be better to be on a 735 kV power grid (e.g. Hydro-Québec) than the standard? Is hydro-electric power more *analogue* than nuclear (with all them-thar isotopes n stuff)?

Black triangles? Targets? Green circles. Red sails in the sunset.
and then
blakep VERY helpfully chimes in:
Oh c'mon gang don't let that last sentence stop you!
The FRiNgE (?):
Actually it is magical -- in
every way.
Mmmark sed:
Well fuck me. I hoped against hope but there it is. Hey bucko there are good electrons on
both sides. Annnnd he's Canoodlian. (It seems a disproprtionate number of
them are Cdn. I'm sincerely sorry.)
Rob Hume:
Is that an English-language sentence? Sez he's from England so mebbe? [Btw tinkering with North American outlets will give you at least a nasty shock. But in the UK (and most of the world) you could easily kill yourself. But don't let this wimpy ol' libtard slow you down! I can only hope reverse psychology is less powerful than psychoacoustics.]
Just Walking:
And to think I thought it was the wings. Not named
Just Flying.
Sublemon:
Happily, none of the other poaters (even those spending thousands and thousands on copper-
plated wiring (not pure copper)) can hear it either. Unless those are bats who are posting at SH.tv Or maybe you just don't have the ears.
Bucko.
ghost rider: (this guy's a particular favorite)
Where to start, where to start? The one fucking item in this discussion that could
save him thousands of dollars, he jettisons. Y'know, due to man-made global warming (
much less of 'a thing' than audio-astrology at Hooferville) there's a lot more storms and lightning and stuff nowadays. Even my countrywoman Alanis Morrisette would agree that's not truly ironic. Just delightful.
Back in comes
allied333:
You too can have a basement like Dr. Mabuse! Or
Kenneth Strickfaden!
McLover:
Lydon! Is that you? I knew you'd become an
asshole but you're one of
them?
GeorgeP shames himself with this painful fucking bit of fucking foolishness:
jea48:
But not as
dully as being so arrogant, so self-centred, so anti-intellectual as to be unable to discern the difference between. for example, astrology and astronomy.
MisterNines:
Not as pleased as he was.

There's no arguing this shit. The quest for magic in our daily lives drones on, while the History Channel runs documentaries on leprechauns and angels. And this is how it infects a music forum.
I guess it's better than having them discuss anything to do with morality. Or their <shudder> personal lives. What poison would I prefer: having them aiding and abetting in Putin's crusade against liberal democracy OR revelling in some anti-science ego-trippery that undermines
the post-war social contract? God they're driving have driven me crazy. All I've done by reading this mind-bending nonsense is hurt myself psychoacoustically, uhh, psychologically.16 pages at the moment and goin' strong.

Edit: actually there's been no further posting in the last week; looks like they've exhausted this topic. Seems as unlikely as the Long Island Medium getting bored with seances and charlatanism, but no more outlet burning-in I guess. Ahh well it was fun while it lasted...
