Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[MindBreak]

Gotta pay to play.

As someone who is about to have two class A amps on my desk, I will definitely be paying to play.

What the heck.- one more. This sounds absolutely delicious on HPs or speakers.

Why does that look like an abstract painting of an AT-ST Walker?

So, you're an advocate for Tantric* Music Listening?

get your minds out of the gutter: Tantra isn’t just a sexual practice. https://somananda.org/tantra/

Yes.

[ I know but it is more fun when putting it in the context of sex.]

Pffft, try class A tube power amps but all things are relative. When my wife fires up her pottery kiln that is $50 minimum.

Not shut down, only temporarily suspended. Due to a small and inadvertent accounting error, turns out the sanctuary was $783 million behind in tax payments for last quarter. I don't know how these rumors get out these days. Sheeez.

Was there a financial fraud investigation??

 

[Ripper2860]

Was there a financial fraud investigation??

Yeah, but it was dismissed due to diminished mental capacity according to 'The Oklahoman' newspaper article I read.

Is that a legitimate excuse to evade prosecution? I did not think that Okie Bill was that astute!!

It's not but it sounded good so they just went with it.

] I have pretty much known Ripper since he got here and as I recall he introduced me to you.

I hope that you don't hold that against him.

1) A home-brewed beer/BBQ cart and/or bicycle trailer? Now that's German ingenuity at its best right there!

It's a 30 year old custom-welded steel frame which was improved over and over again. It's only limited by it's wheels which allow access to almost any road/path/trail available. It will carry 6+ crates if you're strong enough to pull it. Or maybe even a tank. Most likely something in between.

The cart is actually bicycle capable. Rumors also include car-capability though details have been redacted.

The BBQ was added to extend the Northwest-German custom of "Kohlfahrt" to an all year activity.

2) Beck's is still a thing?

Depends, but since we're located in the vicinity of Bremen, it's more of a local thing. You could also go with any other pilsener. You don't do craft beer if you want to drink a whole crate.

3) It's such a sight for sore eyes to see actual crates of beer for a change. Over here, people tend to rock up to a party with a six pack in hand, and I always think to myself: Awww, that's cute!

Yeah, I know what you mean. On our tours we usually pack half a crate per bro (can I say that?). It's somewhat depending on how many rounds of flunkyball you wanna play. And if anything goes wrong, in flight refueling is still possible.

At the end of our tour we end up at someones home with another real BBQ and more beer.

On my last trip to Yosemite before the move to Texas, I hiked along the north part of Valley Loop Trail, roughly at Devil's Elbow. Coming around a corner, I found myself looking straight into the eyes of a grizzly bear, sitting by the trail maybe 50 yards ahead of me, watching the river.
I'm glad to have experienced something like that.
I'm elated to live to tell the tale.
I'm eager to have this remain a one time thing.

You do realize the last grizzly bear in California was killed in 1922?

Whatever it was, it was big, dark brown, and a bear.
(Could have been black, but looked dark brown in the late morning sun.)
