The whole “woke” buzzword thing is just dumb. It’s just the latest bigotry dogwhistle / Fox “News” Pavlovian Response Training, where chuds are trained to react with visceral disgust at any word.

They made the chuds flip about WelFaRe QuEeN, HilLaRy, bEnGaZi, SoCiaLiSM and LIbRuLS and now WoKe. Fox could train these people to hate the word TURNIP.

No doubt

Elder’s Melancholy certainly draws its inspiration from an engraving executed by Dürer on the same subject in 1514.

…

A theme often examined in art works since antiquity, melancholy, or melancholia, derives from the medical theory of four humours, whereby disease or ailments were thought to be caused by an imbalance in one or another of the four basic bodily fluids, or humours. In contrast to its negative connotations during the Middle Ages, this condition was equated during the Renaissance with the artistic temperament. In fact, many considered melancholy to be the catalyst for all artistic creation. Cranach makes use of Dürer’s motifs, but transposes them to illustrate one of Martin Luther’s sermons, which aimed to denounce this ailment as an indication that the afflicted individual was under the influence of Satan. Drink and nourishment were essential to counteract its effects.

What in tarnation?

Off to read up on this…

Oof real. I love taking the 4Runner places off the beaten path (but still on a proper trail ofc). Get far enough out on a hard enough trail and it becomes zero to slight peopley

True. It is plausible. At the same time I have to think that if the human race hasn’t evolved to factor cooperation in tribes in most cases, we wouldn’t be here discussing this.

All I have is vintage stuff.

I’m not familiar with Cambridge Audio. But I think it would be hard to go wrong with the Audio Technica and Technics decks. Both companies still make legit gear as far as I know.

As long as they can accept decent cartridges I think you would be good to go.

If it were me I would want my preamp separate from my deck but what do I know?

“if you want to tell me what to do put me on the fucking payroll!”

Great clip.

This feels very “just found out about politics and damn” tbh.

Ok.

I think this would be of value for sharing with people that aren’t aware (my kid when she was younger).

Or is there a better resource to do this?

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.
