...and a wonderful percussive 'clang' as the rear steps out when breaking traction under accelleration as it skids magnificently into a lamp post. :D

lol That 'reason' has PS's sardonic air of superiority and authority written all over it. What an ass-hat.

Two words for this ass-hat: stolen valour

More handbag swinging at me over on TH today. I posted on chapai's dbx 5bx-ds thread in response to someone asking what these units do (and their post was deleted too). Posted a photo of my 3bx-ds and gave a photo credit as per the rules. 'photo credit: to me, taken of my 3bx-ds, on my...

I shyed off nabbing the unit I referenced above. Being in such a dirty, dog-eared cosmetic condition put me right off it. Sort of when you see the state of the interior of the car of the chick you pulled that night and she offers to drive you back to hers 'for a night cap'. Been there, done...

It's not quite accurate to say that the M300 will determine or verify the 'absolute geometry' of a tape-path as it's specifically only for component factors within the scope of that description, namely PB/REC head height, tilt and depth-penetration. But you're right to say it forms a good...

Yah, it's pretty fkd over there: https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1624479/fedex-driver-brutally-assaulted-by-porch-pirate-tracking-cell-phone-packages/ Needs to change somehow. Needs a 'scum and social vermin mitigation' study perhaps.

As a relatively new online trader I'm discovering the vagaries of sending (and losing) things via different postal services. Most of my Etsy sales to the US go via our national postal service here in NL 'PostNL' who's partner in the US is USPS. Fortunately, as some of you here will know, those...

I dunno Bob, over here in EU washing machines are almost exclusively front - loaders. I've been running a very basic LG model with a DD motor for over 10 years now without so much as a peep. i made sure to get a basic, no frills model as someone also alluded to earlier those gadgets and gizmos...

I bet he could bash out a rhythm on that lot. They would probably sound like those steel-band drums. lol

Wow! Washing machine collection and restoration. That's a new one on me! That must take a LOT of dedication...and space! Reeeeeeeeeeeee-spect!

If I think about how I used to discover new music it started with in order of influence: John Peel - circa 80's-90's. Legendary, highly influential Radio 1 DJ. Probably the single biggest influence on my musical tastes. My dad - circa 70's. Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Santana, to name...

..but a good post. I don't agree with your observation that repairability is ever manufactured-in, except of course in the case I cited at ASM etc. Repairability has simply just always been there for most products up until recently when the likes of Apple and EV as well as ICE car manufacturers...

Of significance and relevance to this thread is the 'right to repair' movement which proposes a freedom of individuals and third parties to be able to repair consumer products, particularly electronic devices. As an ex PD manager I'm following this with interest as one of the design aspects I...

That's a 'good innings'.

I have 30 years PD experience in various industries including nuclear, aerospace, semiconductor and other sectors where mission-criticality at the end-user scenarios mandate that stuff is designed and built to last. The last 4-5 years however were spent doing consultancy work in consumer goods...

I don't know the story about Alex (ANT?) but I can imagine he probably also decided to wade to the other side of Bullshit creek and call it a day? PS's avatar used to crack me up before he changed it. He looks like the MAD comic kid

Depends on what the price, cable type and build quality of that power cable is. If its a garbage aliexpress cable with 0.5mm conductor size costing $20 then it won't matter much. I know what you're gettting at though. The mains supply, esp here in NL is excellent, stable, clean. But a lot can...
