    Looking for a long-distance trip vehicle. Suggestions?

    To the OP, might a rental meet your occasional needs? We're on day two of a two week round trip from CA to MN driving a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. $360/week. Fully equipped including air suspension, which may come in handy as we try to duck the snow storms moving through! I've been renting for...

    We have plenty to go around but the market economy concentrates wealth in relatively few hands. Fascinating and frustrating.

    Lola

    My vet friend in Chandler AZ, who's large animal but a serious dog lover, laughed when I called him this morning to get his take on Lola's response to the forest. What you suspected could be true, although as Alrainbow said there are many new smells including the burned out forest nearby. Throw...

    Does your family know what your system's worth?

    That's a great question - thanks for raising the subject. LPs and tapes are at equal risk of the same fate. In my case a son is an audiophile and knows the ropes of pricing and selling gear so we should be set. As a family we share any updates to our estate plan on an annual basis to keep it...

    For what it's Worth-Tesla

    Ron, you are correct. Your "downtown" descriptor got me. There is cheaper gas within the city limits (barely). its interesting you use the term downtown - having Midwest/rural roots I think of Main Street as downtown. I just asked my wife where downtown BH is, she thought a moment and said...

    For what it's Worth-Tesla

    LOL, that's one of the stations we'd reference when explaining to Midwest friends and family how rough life was in BH. Then we'd fill up down the street:

    King Singer's Concert cancelled over sexuality

    I'm appreciative that my kids and grandkids, and their friends, look at conversations like these and wonder what all the fuss is about.

    Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?

    When considering whether to pursue a lawsuit recently a friend offered useful advice: What would make you "whole"? We took his advice and found a way to make both parties "whole", and the case was settled. To those of you aggrieved by MoFi, what would make you "whole"?

    Isolation Question- getting low frequency feedback

    Have you tried something soft and squishy for isolation, like the VPI HW-40 feet? I see lots of coupling to your wall but no isolation. Unless your wall is concrete its acting like a big drum with your turntable receiving every movement. I don't know the feet under your table - are they...

    Server vs laptop

    Since you're ticking off dollar amounts in your query I thought I'd offer this from the "What's Best for the Least" sub-forum. After years of running JRiver on a Windows cheapo into a PS Audio PWD I was ready for a move to a dedicated server. Unwilling to spend that much I added a Sablon USB...

    Ok, you three win. I'm going to watch "Wall Street" a few more times and see if it sticks. PS: My granddaughters will be damn disappointed in me if it does!

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Well said. Lots of upside here in the U.S. if we pivot a few policies to putting our people first. We can shave a few feet off the next flotilla of private yachts and they won't even notice. ;)

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Are you talking about the support benefits for Musk or low income workers? From the tone on this thread I'll guess the later. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's interesting, and discouraging, that so much attention is given to lower income social benefits while benefits for high income groups are...

    Agreed. I don't expect thoughtful debate on any given forum but very much appreciate this group's efforts. Thank you.

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Good points. I use full employment to describe an environment where everyone who wants to (and can) work is doing so. If jobs remain unfilled there's either of shortage of workers (skills, education, available population) for those jobs or the jobs do not pay enough to pull workers off the...

    "Other side"? "Next assault"? What's the topic here? Want to say it out loud so we know what we're dealing with?

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Actually, with a near full employment labor market, employees have increasing say about who they work for and how they work. Makes many industries (like my industry of agriculture) nervous when they don't hold all the marbles. We all love the free market until it comes to labor.

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    This is a very important point - the workers on the bottom of the income scale bear the brunt of this, forcing them into long commutes, over-crowded housing, or living as you describe. The NIMBY crowd want their labor but don't want them living next door, so in effect these workers are...

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Remote work destroying society is news to the millions of us who work from home or vehicle offices, or get things done in coffee shops or diners. Me, I'll happily skip the rehash of last night's game or looking busy in exchange for going/being home early. Commuting is a tax on the employee as...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Moderators, seems a correction to this thread's subject is in order. We all know few read to the end. How about "All's well with Bokrand?" or similar?

    Favorite English Breakfast Tea?

    It's all in the fat: half & half is 12%, heavy cream is 36%, double cream is 48%. Plus few of our U.S. cows ever see grass, and are also the wrong breed for high fat milk. We have ~1 million dairy cows within 100 miles of our house here in California - but crazily the butter in our fridge is...
