A couple days ago 33+ pages back the Schiit Sine Wave was on "post old car pictures".

Thought some photos from The Bluebonnet Festival up in Burnet TX today might be fun of the Saturday Antique (mostly) Car Show for those of us with antique age and memory! :)

Mustang first of course....

They become 11 AWG.
Uh huh, I spent many years working with audio engineers and the like so I do know about such things. It was only about 17 years though.🤪 An easy way to remember it is called the rule of three. It is late and we just dined on smoked salmon and a magnum of Prosecco so I said ohm instead of awg, my bad. I also typed as I watched A Gentleman I Moscow, a favorite book and a wonderful series. We just finished Ripley on Netflix and it was amazing as well. I am a fan of Patricia Highsmith the author of the Ripley series. Film noir at its best.

Blown power transformer.

Not sure if anyone has watched the Charismatic Voice on YouTube, but it's very interesting to get a trained opera singers take on both the music and the vocal performance. This one is Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie:

You're not often wrong, sir. But when you are, you really are.

Tomorrow Never Dies is the most underrated Bond movie of them all. It has the best Bond actor, the most kick-ass Bond girl of them all, one of the very few non-ugly BMWs as the Bond car, one of the better Q scenes of the franchise, great practical effects, and one of the last actually good and well-recorded Bond soundtracks and Sheryl Crow absolutely nailing the mood of the movie.
It's so good, in fact, that I can almost ignore Teri Hatcher and her abysmal acting that's even more hammy in this movie than it usually is.

But with all that debate about the best Bond actor or Bond girl, one thing I'm sure there can't be any debate over:
Christoph Waltz is the best Bond villain, period.
Michelle Yeoh is amazing and beautiful and always has been. 😍

Jonathan Pryce is really good in that film, too.

10 amp? Chumps. Real men replace fuses with a solid copper bar. 🤣
In bluegrass jargon, that’s known as a penny…
