Well, bail shouldn't be a problem for him...

This thread is getting close to a million views. I wonder if the format is set up to display that.

...walk...

I think that I can handle that. My "bar" is in the kitchen.

Happy New Year

Same to you!

Give the cashier due credit for catching it.
I'm thinking I could pass one of those bills to one our local Walmart's finest.

Happy New Year, thread.

 

[Adam]

My New Year's Eve concerns certainly have changed in the past 20 years. From going to bars and hoping to hook up, to strategically timing the dish washer and washing machine to try and block the sound of fireworks from scaring Niki.

On the flip side, I'll have clean dishes and clothes. Plus, I just finished vacuuming the carpet.

I just did some reading. Turns out, any explosive fireworks (the kind that scare Niki) are illegal in my town. Of course, there's little to nothing that the police can/will do about it unless someone gets hurt.

But carrying a concealed weapon isn't?

My sister has a German Shepherd mix, who is the same way as Niki. Having a 90lb dog trying to climb onto your lap isn't very comfortable. So, she gets a sedative from her vet for occasions such as this. However, she finds that as he gets older, the sedative gets less and less effective.

Well, I think the near-midnight wall of sound generated by the appliances was effective. Niki didn't seem all that bothered, and she's in a good mood this morning.

Well, it's all about how you use them. It's legal to carry a weapon (concealed or open), but it's not like I can just legally start shooting it around town - there has to be a legal reason to do it. Likewise, it's legal to buy and own explosive fireworks, but it's illegal to use them inside the town limits - there are certain places where they can be legally used.

I still think it was an enormously bad decision to allow the purchase of fireworks in Arizona. It's like letting teenagers legally buy alcohol, but then tell them that they can't drink it. Really? There were explosive aerial fireworks all around last night, which is dangerous when you live in a dry tinderbox. Luckily it has been a relatively wet December. I imagine the first wildfire directly linked to fireworks will result in a repeal of that decision.

I am more than mildly surprised to see the recording equipment they do have in Oslo Concert hall to serve professional users.....
Most of this is equipment from the early 90's and some of this not even made for really professional use but for home studio or semi professional....

This is
TAPE MACH.: 3 x DA 88 Tascam 8 track digital with remote control
1Technics 1506 4-tracks
1 Studer A67, 1 Otari MX70 16-tracks
CASS. DECKS: 1 NAD 6050 C, 1 Kenwood KX-3510
CD-MACHINE: 1 AIWA XC-002
DAT-MACHINES: 1 Kenwood DX 7030 , 1 SONY PCM 2700.

CD-MACHINES: 2 DENON-DN 1800 F
DAT-MACHINE: 1 TASCAM-DA 40
MINI-DISC-MACHINES: 2 DENO -DN M2300 R

Mini-disc and dat recorders for professional use in 2012

Wow, talk about being professional around here

Mariss Jansons resigned from his position in Oslo because of the horrible acoustics in Oslo Concert house, it seems he is too professional for these people, no coincidence probably.....

That is horrible. Worst S-10 I've ever seen. Here's another ridiculous one:

I made project progress. I feel something must be terribly wrong.

I just found the poster from my (I think) junior high science project. That was over 25 years ago.
