What gum are you chewing?

Posted by: Sloop John B on 20 September 2016

WTF is happening to this place?

The death of an audio forum
Well, it happens a lot 'round here
And if you think Peace
Is a common goal
That goes to show
How little you know

Do we need a "don't like" button?

or a

"why do you post such crap continuously" button?

or a "have you tried searching" button ? (mind you the search could be better).

or a "There are professionals who can help you with this" button?

We could use a 'What cannabis are you smoking' thread, or perhaps 'Which strain will transform my 252/250 into a Statement ?'

Good ol' Blue Dream always make my 110 into a 250. But then living in Seattle, I can pretty much have whatever amp I desire.

Well as you asked -

Glad to see you’ve finally managed to start an interesting thread.

 

I chew JETgum Menthol, especially when I’ve got a stuffed up nose, but also very enjoyable when I haven’t.

 Available at your local Lidl.

Quite. I'd ban the use of +1 as well.

Quite is the new +1!

I’m waiting for the “Which strain of e.coli makes you go to the toilet the most?” thread. It’s only a matter of time.

In loosely related but somewhat sideways matters: The search function has been raised again. It should always be the default place to go for research before asking the same question for the umpteenth time. However, threads with no activity get locked. So if something that spikes periodically recurs, a new thread must be started from scratch, all experiences and wisdom shared hitherto being consigned to the bin. Ditto a long term running report or system progress report. This goldfish memory facility is a part (albeit small) of why this forum can look tediously repetitious at times.  That and the fact that most forums do if you stay on them for long enough.

What number do you suggest then? It's a solid positive integer, also if you strongly agree you can raise it by a factor of ten!

I'd use words and explain why I was agreeing, rather than +1, which just seems lazy.

And being lazy is bad because?

What if you're too lazy to open the kitchen cupboards though?

A music buddy of mine once referred to Naim as 'audio marijuana'. Which reminds of this :
