on now:
Sun Ra - Space is the Place,
the 2023 Verve By Request Third Man Pressing.

my first third man where quality control might have failed. some paper sticking in the vinyl between the run-outs. one minor tick, yet, ermm, not cool, for a €30+ product.
⚫ meh.

@kompaktkiste @jazz @vinylrecords QA/QC is dreadful with some releases. This is literally unplayable

@kompaktkiste @jazz @vinylrecords The really sad thing is that while that particular example is superbad, the whole release suffers from issues like this. I got two replacements, and the last one finally at least played. Thanks, GZ Media.

@TechConnectify My microwave also does convection and overhead grill. Combining grill and mid-low microwave power is fantastic for making grilled cheese sammiches or croque monsieurs.

Watched a video on the new Toyota Camry and one of my favorite examples of car brain rot are the folks who still cling to cylinder count as the be-all-end-all.

They dropped the V6 option and now they're all hybrids.

Nevermind that it's making the same power as a V6 Camry from 20 years ago while also getting probably double the fuel economy, the crowd says "oh noooo 4 is less than 6"

Literally all they consider is the number of splodey holes. It's so tiring.

@TechConnectify We just need to pivot from "electric motor" to "electric engine", and then shorten to "engine", and speciy the power in hp instead of kW. Nobody said that all engines are ICEs.
