Depeche Mode’s Andy Fletcher dies, aged 60​

My attractive female neighbor is completely paranoid. She thinks I'm following or even stalking her​

She is worried that I may be obsessed with her and any time she hears a noise in her house she is...purified? Oh, wait: petrified. Sorry, it's not easy reading a diary through binoculars from a tree.

You can learn a lot about paranoia by just following someone around for a few days

Depeche Mode’s Andy Fletcher dies, aged 60​

WOW! One of my favorite bands in the 80s. I thought I’d never see the day. He’s only a few years older than I am…..

Ronnie Hawkins has died. The Hawk is gone.​

May 29, 2022 Alan Cross 0 Comments Ronnie Hawkins, The Band, The Hawks
It had long been assumed that Ronnie Hawkins was too tough a bugger to die. After all, this is a guy who baffled doctors with his pancreatic cancer, one of the worst of all cancers. As someone who has had two friends die of the disease, the end usually comes within months or even weeks. The Hawk got his pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2003. That was 19 years ago.
As my Australian friend says, “That’s some good innings!” His secret? Ronnie said it was a combination of psychic healers and “native herbal medicine.”
Ronnie had been very ill for months. A couple of his friends told me a few months back that at age 87, his condition deteriorated and the fight was exhausted. meaning that it was just a matter of time. We became aware that the end was close when we saw a series of social media posts like this one earlier today.

Seen on a friend's Facebook page -
.
A friend dropped by a couple of days ago and was amazed to find me playing poker with our miniature dachshund, Rowdy.
"Go ahead and finish your hand. I've never seen anybody playing cards with their dog before.
"I can hardly believe my eyes. "That's the smartest dog I've ever seen!" my friend said a few minutes later.
"He's not so smart," I said. "Every time he gets a good hand, he wags his tail!"

This was on my daughter's Facebook page this morning:

Discovered a centipede in my shower cap this morning.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers at this time.

Got this in an email:

HiBy R5 Gen 2 and HiBy RS6 are awarded the VGP prize – the most prestigious audiovisual award in Japan!

VGP is created for the development of the home entertainment industry focused on video and audio since 1987, as a guideline for electronic consumers to select the right products. The winning products are evaluated by leading retailers and experts from performance, technology and design concepts.

We feel deeply honored that HiBy R5 Gen 2 is awarded a "special prize" this year because only limited products are awarded the biggest "special prize" (also called 企画賞) among gold award-winning products.

“As a portable player at a mid-range price, the R5 gen 2 is equipped with Class A headphone amplifier making it stand out among players of its class.” — highly recognized by VGP​

The R5 gen 2 is small and light enough to carry even if you’re already carrying a phone, and can double as a wired or wireless DAC for your phone if you so choose. As a standalone music player, however, the R5 gen 2 comes into its own, with all-day battery life when you’re out and about on hikes or at the gym, and a step-up in Class A sound quality when you're listening intently at home. Coupled with HiBy's rock-solid software platform, the R5 gen 2 is the ideal pocketable music player for almost any occasion or use case, and despite some obvious shortcomings, it still ticks almost every box: usability, versatility, reliability, sound quality, and wired/wireless compatibility.

They were good… while they lasted. RIP Moondrop Chu’s. Didn’t last more than 2 weeks before the right channel stopped working.​

Is this a selling point?

The electronic tubes are all new stock tubes, the rectifier tube is military-grade 6Z4, and the three 12AX7 tubes are all upgraded to Sugon's latest red letter 12AX7, the sound is beautiful and extremely poisonous !
