The newest ones have pet poop sensor that navigates around the poo as opposed to running over it, fouling itself, and then smearing it around the house. Will wonders ever cease?

If you have poop on your floors, I don't think a robotic vaccum can help you.

I have no idea, I'm sorry to say. Really hard to tell by that photo. My best guess would be pork skewers and some sort of beef, maybe sirloin or t-bone.

Thanks! And trust me, he knows…
Surprisingly, no. He does seek out somewhat cooler surfaces to sleep on in the summer, but that's about it. His top coat is long and straight, but the undercoat is really fine and wavy and thick, which means that as long as he stays dry, it's great at keeping an isolating layer of body-temperatured air at all times. I suspect that he can actually cope better with the hot CA Central Valley summers than most other cats and dogs with shorter or thinner coats can.

A couple of my past long hair cats. And a photo of the cold drink machine I used to keep in my shop.

I do not, but never thought about it until I was reading reviews on the different models. Some folks recounted how they got a nice surprise after returning home from work only to find a pretty 'schitty' situation thanks to the combined efforts of their upset stomach inflicted pet and robot maid.

LOL!

Be careful out there, folks. It's not like Covid has magically disappeared. How're things looking from your side, @KoshNaranek?

Lots of positive testing by PCR, so lots of COVID out there. The hospital admissions are confined to people who have had 2 shots or fewer and patients with cancer. I have no idea what the pediatricians are seeing.

In summary, COVID may make your life miserable for two weeks and you may take 3 months in recovering your exercise tolerance, but you don't need to fear about being permanently maimed if you have 3 shots if you are under 50 and 4 shots if you are over 50.

Magni 3 + made in Texas....and the wall-wort is not made in CHINA, its in Taiwan!!
Awesome!!

:>)

 

[KoshNaranek]

Yeah, I think I imported this from California. The timeline is pretty much spot on to have gotten it right before we came back to Texas.

Omicron is about as infectious as Measles to the unvaccinated. Nasty R0. I hope you feel better soon. You will shed virus 7-10 days after onset of symptoms.

I take a shot of Rhythm & Blues every day.

 

[Odin412]

Oh, the irony of having to "Prove you're not a robot," multiple times per day...to your computer.

I've always wondered what happens if you fail that test.

 

[RCBinTN]

I take a shot of Rhythm & Blues every day.

Me too, on good days, but also Covid vaccine. I'm old but not stupid.

What headphones do you use and have you had much experience with tube gear?

Right now I have a pair of vintage AKG240 (purchased in ~'80), Senn HD650, and the most recent, a HIFIMan drop HE-5xx. My experience with tubes is non-existent. I got into audio in the early 80s. At my audio home "Audio Odyssey", they always had tube amps connected to some Klipsch Horns, once I got to listen to the IRS while they warmed up for a private audition, but the industry was transitioning to electronics. So I had (still have) an NAD 1130 pre and a early NAD 2200 that has powertracker but does not have the Powertracker lettering. Still drives my pair of Thiel 2.0 from 1984.

It wasn't until the pandemic and working from home that I started on the Schitt obsession and headphones. I have proceeded with caution lol

This reminded me to schedule my 4th Covid shot. I’m eligible now, a month ago I was too healthy.

I am overdue; my oncologist says my immunity should be good, but I stress

I keep looking for a home for a couple cheap ChiFi headphone amps, I have far too much clutter in my shop and I am trying to use up a large stack of hardwood in the process as well. Mother's day is not far off so I need to get a move on.
