If you wish to understand (especially military) history reading books would be the preferred medium. Movies are entertainment subject to the bias of writers and directors. Telling a story and dispensing information are quite different. In my experience a career soldier would be the person to ask. I worked with a 25+ year retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sargent who was/is one of the best educated men I've ever met. His knowledge and ability to explain history w/o political coloration is unparalleled in my lifetime. His personal politics were unmistakable however his integrity with the historical facts was without reproach. A tough thing to do. He helped me understand a lot about Vietnam and it's root causes.

R.I.P. Dr. Johnny. A longtime favorite of mine.

Been using Spotify free version for a year or so and happy with it. Don't want to play politics just music so no comment on the people trying to influence my thoughts. Just wanna hear music.

17°F with winds gusting into the mid 20 MPH range for a 2°F wind chill. About half inch or so of snow yesterday. Yeah winter in the mountains of West Virginia.

4°F here.

Bill Gates. So no that's not biased. That's the problem in our times. Get online and seek out "data" that agrees with your perspective. Truth be damned.

No. It's they who have the answers.

Estimated by who? Nah not buying into crap like that.

Honestly how crazy will it have to be for the change to be noticeable?

I believe you could call that tasty.

This is Real Racing. Life on the edge. Spectators and participants alike.

If you enjoy Yes try some Emerson Lake and Palmer. Tarkus would be a good choice.

I have white bread daily. However it's homemade and nothing like that soft doughy crap purchased from the store,only 6 ingredients. And it's makes great french toast.

If it's sound upgrade you seek a cartridge upgrade is a logical step with predictable results. If you just want a new deck another Technics won't be a misstep. Were it my SL1800 I'd have it serviced if it hasn't seen one in awhile. Purchase a good MC compatible pre amp for use with a Denon DL-103R. But that's just me. I like to keep things I've enjoyed and try to make them better. The Denon will definitely be an improvement over the already good Ortofon.

May be true. However empirical evidence points to that being a common paradigm. Along with the ever increasing attempts to making everyone happy. Life's royal pain sometimes and rarely fair. Too often ignored facts.

Is it helpful to the OP with his problem to bicker on minutiae? isn't that the purpose here,to help the guy?

Is there a roof overhead? Is it warm? You have enough to eat? If yes all is good. Yes that's tough to accept but there's a vast difference between needs and wants. Reminding myself of this is a constant struggle. And agreed things are way crazy.

Freezing rain and sleet. Busted me arse while walking the dog his morning. One of those slow falls where you know you're going down but have time to finish a curse before impact. Dog started running around in circles. I believe he thought it was funny.

I'd check wiring for the new issue. You knew they were going to take some effort to be the best they can be. They're still Cornwalls.

It was 9°F when I walked the dog this morning. Says 13° now. Snow blowing a bit from yesterdays fall. Winter has finally checked in.

You know that's said in jest don't you? Well Cornwalls on the cheap something's gotta be subpar. How do they sound would be the question.

Photos or it didn't happen.

Izzat a sub in between the LaScala?

And they're not in yer living room yet?
