I haven't looked at record players since... oh... the eraly 90s? 2012-07-23T10:46:36 The thing might be acceptable if you could take the headshell *off* and throw it away 2012-07-23T10:46:46 heh 2012-07-23T10:47:05 ...but it looks like it's angle-adjustable for no sensible reason I can see 2012-07-23T10:47:18 ...and doesn't use a standard locking mount. 2012-07-23T10:47:58 ...and with the platter being apparently only 7" around, any 12" vinyl is going to be hanging quite a bit over the edge and *isn't* going to be stable like tjat 2012-07-23T10:48:17 ...although I'm not sure if you can even put a 12" vinyl on it. It looks so goddamn small. 2012-07-23T10:48:47 If you're a 8-year-old child who has some Chipmunks records I'm sure its' fine 2012-07-23T10:48:52 For everyone else, hell no. 2012-07-23T10:49:13 Not even if they paid me full retail to use it 2012-07-23T10:49:22 ...on records I hated. 2012-07-23T10:50:44 "Facts are facts: if you take this to a DJ battle, they're gonna laugh you off the stage." 2012-07-23T10:51:04 Actually, I suspect they'd just take you out the back way and kick your ribs in. 2012-07-23T10:52:09 *** rangerz1 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) 2012-07-23T10:54:29 At this point, I don't understand who would buy el-cheapo record players. The only folks that go for vinyl are snobs and DJs. Both of which should get something that costs more than $40MSRP, or shut up and go home. 2012-07-23T11:02:26 Pretty much anything you can buy at Wal-mart that isn't in kid-friendly colors would be a better deal 2012-07-23T11:04:28 There's a great deal that can be done to improve what would otherwise be a shit turntable, but it does require two things.... 2012-07-23T11:04:44 1. A 12" deck to put the goddamn record on 2012-07-23T11:05:01 2. A removable headshell--not just a replaceable needle. 2012-07-23T11:05:07 This has neither. 2012-07-23T11:06:06 The needle being replacable is just about damn useless since there doesn't appear to be anything like an adjustment for the armature pressure 2012-07-23T11:06:32 Different needles require different weightings. Having the weighting set wrong makes a *notable* difference in sound quality 2012-07-23T11:06:58 ...plus, not enough weight means a mouse farting will cause a skip, which is an awesome way to destroy vinyl 2012-07-23T11:10:06 hi dag 2012-07-23T11:20:53 *** rangerz has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T12:26:02 wats ap dag? 2012-07-23T12:28:01 *** Iyeman|Work has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 2012-07-23T12:29:47 *** sdodson has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 2012-07-23T12:30:07 *** MaxieZ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 2012-07-23T12:30:46 *** sdodson has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T12:30:46 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sdodson 2012-07-23T12:31:06 *** MaxieZ has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T12:33:00 *** Iyeman has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T12:33:00 *** Iyeman is now known as Iyeman|Work 2012-07-23T12:33:00 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Iyeman|Work 2012-07-23T13:19:10 *** psyiode has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T13:28:44 *** rangerz has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 2012-07-23T13:38:54 *** rangerz has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T13:52:55 Heh. *Almost* http://nashville.craigslist.org/mcy/3118472149.html 2012-07-23T13:52:56 Title: VW Trike (at nashville.craigslist.org) 2012-07-23T15:43:21 do you ever get in on a monday morning and find out that the stupid has built up over the weekend and now needs to be addressed? 2012-07-23T15:45:21 Catonic: isn't that just called "Monday"? 2012-07-23T15:53:00 except i work weekends. 2012-07-23T15:56:04 god... i hope penn state loses every single game this year 2012-07-23T15:57:09 They might as well not bother with funding football for the next 4 years, it won't matter anyway 2012-07-23T15:57:14 if i was a billionaire, i'd post a bounty for each touchdown of 20k, and for each interception of 15k against them 2012-07-23T15:57:32 towards the charity of that player's choice (to avoid legal issues) 2012-07-23T15:57:53 If we could get colleges to stop funding football, maybe some of their academic reputations would improve 2012-07-23T15:58:19 http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f6/nvidia-7800-wont-work-63893/ 2012-07-23T15:58:20 Title: nvidia 7800 wont work (at www.tech-forums.net) 2012-07-23T15:59:40 Bahhumbug: nice... 2012-07-23T16:02:18 Yay Faceboook 2012-07-23T16:03:09 Hmm? 2012-07-23T16:03:47 So I saw a thread concerning how the current financial mess took awhile to get there, but is going to take a very long time to sort out. 2012-07-23T16:04:28 It quickly devolved into a bunch of idiots carping about each others candidates, making crap argumentation and unrealistic generalizations. 2012-07-23T16:04:44 I *started* to try to set some things straight... and then stopped and thought.... 2012-07-23T16:04:49 Why bother? 2012-07-23T16:05:13 I finally wrote something to the effect of "I'd love to help sort this out, I really would, but it seems that nine out of ten of you are f**king morons." 2012-07-23T16:05:25 Pretty much, yes. 2012-07-23T16:05:30 Five minutes later I've got three private messages from people laughing their asses off. 2012-07-23T16:30:33 Dagmar: the ones I truly love are the doomsdayers... thus and such economist predicted the 2008 crash and predicts another one for this year... 2012-07-23T16:31:16 What they don't tell you is that the economist has been predicting a crash every year for the last 30 years, so he's bound to be right once in a while... 2012-07-23T17:50:46 *** Iyeman has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T17:50:46 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Iyeman 2012-07-23T18:29:08 *** rangerz has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) 2012-07-23T18:34:38 We need to ban crazy people from getting guns and shooting places up. 2012-07-23T18:35:04 We should subject every single gun purchaser to a lifestyle-profile, complete with polygraph. 2012-07-23T19:22:00 The lesson is more along the lines of, "Liberals, like conservatives, are prone to overly simplistic solutions that ignore the reality of the world's complexity." 2012-07-23T19:31:02 ^that is the best way I've heard it 2012-07-23T19:31:44 because I've already wasted energy explaining that if you require background checks like a protocologist gives, someone has to pay for the db, protect it, enforce policy violations, buy computers, support computers, etc. 2012-07-23T19:32:31 so a "simple idea" turns into either a) an unfunded mandate or b) a $700M boondoggle paid for by the taxpayers to catch 0.00000000000001% that slips through. 2012-07-23T19:33:15 .. only because that amount is the percentage that is actually flawed and hasn't done anything to warrant establishing a system of log regarding personality and background. 2012-07-23T19:34:07 Same for drug checks for welfare recipients or citizen verification for voting. 2012-07-23T19:34:47 The problem vector is so small that the solution winds up being way too expensive 2012-07-23T19:34:52 yeah.. I was making the point earlier that, while I learned to diagram a sentence in the sixth grade, not every registered voter is required to have a high school diploma. 2012-07-23T19:35:24 In fact, registered voters are very explicitly not required to even be able to read. 2012-07-23T19:35:31 exactly... and the problem is self-evident afterwards... attempting to solve the problem before it starts is futurecrime. Doubleplus ungood. 2012-07-23T19:35:59 or it's eugenics, and we've all agreed that messing with the gene pool is a bad idea. 2012-07-23T19:36:51 Uh, actually, while that's the predominant opinion, it's not at all universal 2012-07-23T19:36:52 "Excuse me, the results are back. Your application to reproduce has been denied. Reason given: 'Your child will be the anti-christ.'" 2012-07-23T19:38:46 The idea that eugenics is a bad idea is only slightly more popular than the idea that we simply need to ban all guns, and that would take care of all our crime problems 2012-07-23T19:40:14 And there are those who are actively messing with the gene pool presently, in terms of changing human genetics to make people immune to HIV, for example. 2012-07-23T19:42:12 That first guy may be at low risk of reproducing, but honestly, if a researcher offered you the ability for your kid's system to be immune to virtually all known diseases before he's even conceived, how many potential parents would turn that guy down? 2012-07-23T19:42:32 and yet, that is precisely eugenics 2012-07-23T19:43:18 If we make it illegal, owning firearms would be more difficult. 2012-07-23T19:43:23 Like obtaining drugs. 2012-07-23T19:43:28 It's *nearly* impossible. 2012-07-23T19:43:52 Dickie: you're preaching to the choir. 2012-07-23T19:44:10 Right, because pot's easy to buy but cocaine a little more difficult 2012-07-23T19:44:12 * Dickie thumps his bible 2012-07-23T19:45:08 What's on the horizon are precisely the superhuman eugenics programs that STNG predicted for the 23rd century. 2012-07-23T19:45:42 As someone who is both intelligent and attractive, I am not worried. 2012-07-23T19:45:54 Not so much killing those of lesser genetics as much as breeding superhumans 2012-07-23T19:45:55 the germans have done a pretty good job already 2012-07-23T19:46:23 i talked to one who left because she was considered a freak midget because she was 5'5" and not 5'9" 2012-07-23T19:47:25 and right now, it's only disease resistance, so essentially nobody is opposed. The next step will be ensuring higher intelligence, greater muscle mass... you see where this is going? 2012-07-23T19:48:38 Sure, it's an end to muscular dystrophy and other physical genetic deformities... but apply those same programs to those who weren't deformed in the first place... 2012-07-23T19:49:56 yeah... wait until the statistical anomalies pop up there... "Well, everything went according to plan... except the subject escaped and started destroying everything." 2012-07-23T19:50:36 Catonic: I don't think that horror film simplicity is at stake. 2012-07-23T19:50:58 i guess there's a brightside to that aurora shooting 2012-07-23T19:51:10 who knows what it is? 2012-07-23T19:52:00 that somewhere out there, a batman will be born because some Joker shot his parents? 2012-07-23T19:52:11 I think it's more likely that you will get corporations competing to create super soldiers, for example, who with their superior intelligence and muscle mass will turn around and create their own society, and ordinary people with too much testosterone will perceive them as a threat 2012-07-23T19:53:27 no the bright side is the perp is still alive so we can try to find ways to solve the problem 2012-07-23T19:53:37 rather than make various assumptions 2012-07-23T19:53:46 (which everyone is doing anyway) 2012-07-23T19:54:39 eryc: While my heart goes out to the families of those killed, there isn't really a solution to be had that isn't worse than the problem. 2012-07-23T19:55:04 another thing i noticed is people post comments that go 2012-07-23T19:55:19 Sometimes people are going to go postal. It happens. 2012-07-23T19:55:31 " my heart goes out to the families of those killed" and then some bullshit ignorant response 2012-07-23T19:55:33 so... we sodomize him? 2012-07-23T19:56:07 We punish him and hope that's enough to prevent the next guy from going postal 2012-07-23T19:56:57 You cannot eliminate problems like that without imposing a police state 2012-07-23T19:57:08 you don't even know what the problem is 2012-07-23T19:57:28 The problem is that he shot someone. 2012-07-23T19:57:36 no that is a symptom 2012-07-23T19:57:42 .. so we implement a police state and then.... 2012-07-23T19:57:59 No, that's ultimately the only problem we care about 2012-07-23T19:58:11 we as in you and your ignorant posse 2012-07-23T19:58:31 Ultimately, people can be sick in the head, as long as they don't go out and kill others. 2012-07-23T19:58:54 You have a right to be sick in the head. 2012-07-23T19:59:10 but do you have a right to adequate care? 2012-07-23T19:59:13 That right ends as soon as you hurt someone else 2012-07-23T20:00:15 That's a very good question, and it's where the right and the left in this country part ways 2012-07-23T20:00:41 We are divided as to whether adequate medical care is a right or a privilege. 2012-07-23T20:05:57 The ACA, as written, suggests that it's a right for the very poor and a privilege for everybody else. 2012-07-23T20:06:19 *** rangerz has joined #se2600 2012-07-23T20:12:00 I don't know. Maybe the ACA is actually a very complex solution for what is admittedly a very complex problem, and any attempts to broadly define what it is simply will fail as an oversimplistic generalization. 2012-07-23T20:14:37 ACA? 2012-07-23T20:14:47 Affordable Care Act 2012-07-23T20:15:24 the ACA is a ton longer than it needs to be b/c of the way the fed. gov't pays for things, it has to bribe the states into doing the work 2012-07-23T20:15:47 if they could just set up their own doctors offices, then it would have been a lots simplier 2012-07-23T20:15:54 simpler* 2012-07-23T20:15:58 the simple answer that would lead to an incredible recession is destroy the health insurance industry and goto a single payer system 2012-07-23T20:16:18 nah it wouldn't lead to a recession 2012-07-23T20:16:32 The statement that generated the discussion started with the shooting in Colorado, to which I replied, ''The lesson is more along the lines of, "Liberals, like conservatives, are prone to overly simplistic solutions that ignore the reality of the world's complexity."'' 2012-07-23T20:17:09 b/c all the money that used to go to doctors would be redirected to other things, such as consumables, entertainment, long term perchases, etc 2012-07-23T20:17:21 rangerz: with that many people losing their jobs it surely would cause alot of economic turmoil 2012-07-23T20:17:44 so we should keep a complex system only b/c it creates jobs? 2012-07-23T20:17:51 wilpig: some jobs lost, sure.
