    Working too hard can give you a Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack... My Heart Attack Story.

    Good post and glad you are still with us. I had a similar experience about 10 years ago. I was sitting down one peaceful Saturday afternoon and suddenly got dizzy. My heart was racing and I was clammy. My wife immediately called 911 and the paramedics arrived within minutes. hooked me up to an...

    Fallout on Amazon

    Westworld started off OK but went downhill fast as the seasons progressed. (Hate-watching describes my viewing of it perfectly.) I really liked Peripheral. I like Chloë Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor. Thanks for the recommendation. I watched the first episode of Station Eleven last night and it...

    Fallout on Amazon

    I watched the second episode last night. I'm normally OK with violence and gore, hell I found Dead Alive, the self-proclaimed goriest movie ever made, absolutely hilarious. I find the gore in this series gratuitous and unnecessary. But the biggest problem I have with Fallout is with the...

    Grado... how many of you run em ?

    I've had a Grado Sonata wood body moving iron cartridge on my Mørch UP-4 for a number of years. Swapped to a Sonata3 with my latest stylus change about a year ago. Fantastic cartridge. Martin

    Fallout on Amazon

    I am not a gamer and did not know this was a game adaptation until after watching the first episode last night. Gory, bloody, and the weirdest show I have ever seen. Still trying to decide if I'm going to keep watching. Martin

    Break from Tekton Thread

    Love the Brits trying Texas barbecue video. Reminds me of myself the first time I tried it. This video has absolutely nothing to do with the first, nor with Tekton, but it is a very good reminder to always think things through and I find it hilarious: Speaking of thinking things through -...

    How to manage the mental somersaults, avoiding brain damage and brain rewiring from reading news?

    I find the "news" as "reported" on all the American networks to be so obviously biased and full of propaganda as to be completely untrustworthy. All of them: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox and CNN. All utter garbage. I have found several sources on YouTube to be better as well as the BBC, Al Jazeera...

    KEF R11 Meta Tower Speaker Review

    Stunningly good looking speaker with wonderful measured response. Beautiful. Looks like a poor man's unpowered Blade / Blade Two. (Given the prices maybe an upper middle-class man's Blade. ;)) Martin

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    Nice to see a relatively inexpensive speaker measure so well. Their entire line-up looks intriguing. Martin

    Lenire Tinnitus Treatment

    Your description of your tinnitus is remarkably similar to my own. Mine is also a hiss, a high pitched frequency which, through experimentation, I have determined to be approximately 8,800Hz. It is sometimes more noticeable than others but remains a fairly constant companion. Martin

    3-Body Problem

    I watched the entire series. Not having read the books I thought it was well done. Unfortunately, somewhat wooden writing and unlikable characters put a real damper on later episodes. I'm looking forward to future seasons. I'm now watching the Ten Cent series on Peacock. A couple of episodes in...
