Not getting into war was the only thing everyone could agree the Don does well. We'll see if that holds. I'm hoping it's posturing, but afraid it's not.

The only thing possibly - previously keeping him from taking military action was his desire for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now that it’s clear that that is off the table, the gloves are off. Now, in quick succession we’ve seen: Venezuela attack and Maduro captured, bunker busting Iran’s nuclear site, bombing the - Iran Backed Houthi’s, and now a very likely joint operation with Israel directly against Iran, likely, IMHO, to start within days or weeks.

Fill your gas tanks now because Oil and gas ⛽️ fixing to get REALLY Expensive.

Foreign wars, sure, potential civil wars not so much 😆

I think it’s more timing and luck than anything actually done well. He could brag about it from his first term for campaigning but at the end of the day when the real powers need US involvement he’s as submissive as any other. I doubt Obama wanted to be known as the president with the high score on drone strikes but he had to play ball with his handlers and the ‘Murica don’t cut ‘n run voters of the time.

TBF, two of those that you mentioned were before the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded. That last one, was after.

Laughs (nervously) in California gas prices.
 
Venezuela wasn’t “attacked” only Madura was. Not sure if you guys know but this asshole was ruining people’s lives there. I had no idea of what happened til my mom told me the news. Hopefully those people can finally breathe a sigh of relief and get their country back on track.

Not a trump fan but that’s pretty cool.



What do yall think of the Epstein stuff?? I think as a country, we should boycott the shit out of EVERYTHING til they get the animals involved and curbs to the highest degree of the law.

There literally stuff on there of babies being eaten and or sexually assaulted.

How can the US continue to run after these revelations?? It’s bullshit. Tuck your political party, time to revolt.

I agree, as I've read/heard some of the same things on Epstein and it's sickening. My concern with all of it is there is likely little evidence left that's possibly prosecuted. If there is that evidence I hope we have public hangings again. That's for all involved regardless of politics/party.

I literally don’t give a fuck about rising prices, the fake climate change hysteria, political parties, celebrities, sports. None of that shit, I care about the kids. The most innocent and untainted in the world.

My question is, was Jeffrey an Israeli asset??

I think everyone can agree that Maduro being out is better for the Venezuelan people than not, the potentially unlawful execution and motivation is the questionable part, the latter of which having its own ties to current Isreali leadership(not to be confused with the citizenry) and current administration who seems a tad compromised(in the FBI’s own words btw)

For me apart from everyday living essentials I buy used car parts, scum free trials from streaming services or pirate. I’m mostly just a frugal cheapskate but I don’t feel particularly guilty about the state of the world as a byproduct either. Did it before I ever heard the name Epstein, would have continued to if I hadn’t. All I enjoy in life is free(ish) or junk that existed before I had any purchasing power when new, no corporation ever had a hold on me.

You can question the legitimacy of the take down, but let’s be honest, those people were never going to leave willingly. I mean, if you were in power and the people couldn’t do shit about it, would you leave?? I personally don’t have a problem with how it was done, this guy had to go one way or the other. I doubt the people of Venezuela were ever going to do it themselves.

Yup, I agree with you. No cooperation ever had a gripe on me, for starters while everybody was complaining during Covid about not being able to go out and do things, I was pretty content being at home away from the masses haha.

Sweet! Those drag ‘n drive events made drag racing as a sport way more exciting. First days are Joliet and Byron right? Hell I might make time to spectate myself, I haven’t had the Cougar on a roadtrip in years. Hoped to do a leg of the Power Tour last summer but ended up sick with the car still in pieces that week
 
During covid in 2020, I worked at a place that repaired medical equipment. Our uniforms were scrubs. When we were wearing masks, I bought a box of black surgical masks, which came with a local hospital logo; so up till my stroke, people called me doc, if I went out in public, lol.
 
My boy finished his speaker. He added an amplifier to it to fix the shitty sounding speaker. With this amplifier, he was able to piggyback the speakers that came with this box to the PCB board I bought him. The amplifier required a power adapter, so we went to the local thrift store and bought a used laptop charger and he was in business.

Now compared to before with the one speaker, this little box sounds great!

I recently got back into an old hobby of mine, collecting and playing records, mostly 33’s
This weekend I raided my parent’s house for some records and I definitely got some good ones!

I also got their Technics SA-203 receiver, But it has an issue where I either have to tap on the volume knob or the speaker switch button to get the sound to equal out, I’m assuming it needs some new capacitors.
Does anyone here do that sort of stuff? I’d rather give a forum member my business before sending it somewhere else.
 
check out hifi engine for stereo manuals.


Technics is a great brand, I have one of their receivers, a turntable, and a cassette deck.
The sa 203 is a 30W amp, .04% distortion.
I've repaired stuff for 40 years now. The probs you describe are dirty controls; get some quality spray cleaner, like Deoxit



Spray a tiny amount into the back of the control, then work it to remove oxidation.
You will have to pull the top cover.


I've Had good luck buying parts on ebay. :)
I recently refurbed the turntable and casette deck, new motors, belts, reset all the operating points, after 40 years of aging. Brandon was nice enough to make me a tape to set everything up.
I bought a new stylus and belt from these guys:

Awesome, thanks for the guidance!
That’s definitely something I can handle, I’d rather try a few things myself before paying someone else, but I figured I’d see if anyone on here does that sort of stuff.

I also have a Technics SL-D202 Turntable and a Technics RS-B14 cassette player.
I’d love to get them running at peak performance.

My parents had the matching speakers but threw them out a few years ago, I’d love to find another matching pair but nothing is coming up locally.
 
Ebay is the place to look, as well as local pawn and thrift stores.
I bought a 120W/ch Yamaha receiver for $15, from a goodwill store.
People are ditching huge old speakers.
I have 2 sets of technics speakers, that I've had to refurb.
My tape deck is a RS B48R, with auto reverse, dolby b and c, and dbx Which one of my car decks supports.
My dad had a technics direct drive turntable, which I could hear the drive in the background; my belt drive is quiet.
