…i’ve worked with an acoustics consultant named dick boehner…

…yeah, the slob in that picture is pretty much me and i’m 220 on a bad day: seven-hundred-pound boss fights are much larger…

…no offense taken at all, we share the same point that individual mileage may vary; as i’ve aged, though, i’ve noticed fourties and fifties sneak up on pretty much everyone across the spectrum…

…depsite my resolve that general fitness and activity prove a differentiator, i’ve come to accept that nobody escapes senescence…

…i use optical PCM for all my stereo sources; unfortunately with multichannel audio its bandwidth is sufficient only for lossy compression…

…hey, you do you: the only thing i noticed by my late thirties was that working all-nighters hit me a little harder than it used to…

…TOSLINK can’t handle atmos bandwidth; you need eARC for uncompressed multichannel digital audio…

…fourties are when the little injuries start; nothing debilitating, just minor tweaks from time to time which surprise that your resilience isn’t quite what it was twenty years ago…

…fifties are when they sneak up to get their revenge…

…when it absolutely, positively, has to measure fuel economy in gallons per mile…


…international XT: accept no substitute…

^{( i saw one parked at the taco cabana off brook hollow about ten years ago: they’re formidable in-the-metal! )}

…that’s how we brushed with baking soda when i grew up: pour a little pile into your off hand, wet your brush, dip, scrub, repeat…

…speaking for most of us, just the one…

…either united 93 was shot down or the USAF was incompetent; i put odds on competence…

can != will

…the current regime will continue doing whatever the f*ck they want as long as nobody stops them…

…oh, now i get it…

…i totally thought that was wheat and lentil penne sautéed with crumbled sausage…

…our local grocer stocks vegan gummies; sadly they’re not very good…

…i reset my browser daily, so i only have the past twenty-four hours of browsing history…

…that’s really only an hour or so of browsing between returning home last night and this morning, not including the bulk of my time at work yesterday…

…i tried to live with public transit in marin county: just commuting to my job was three hours each way, with a very narrow window of opportunity for walking to a grocer at my transfer hub and no recourse on nights when i had to work late…

…vietnam doesn’t have enough room for mopeds, let alone SUVs…
