  1. Somehow this is the kind of president about 35% of the population want. Reacting to a claim by a former Department of Homeland Security official that Donald Trump shared secret documents related to the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi with reporters, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade suggested special counsel Jack Smith has one more charge he can use to bolster his case against the former president under the Espionage Act. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-secret-documents/
  2. If only Republicans would open their eyes to the truth. They seem incapable of dealing with it. They accuse the left of having Trump delusion but that's just projection. The opposite is the case.
  3. I have a close friend who is heavily into hifi and designs and makes his own cables. The cables he bought previously cost over 10k AUD for the pair second hand. He explained in detail what's wrong with them. He says good audio cables make a lot of difference and that solid core is a must. His main concern is reducing the dielectric differential between the core and it's sheathing. I know little about but I just take his advice. 2,000 baht isn't huge for a pair of cables. Perfect Surface Copper Conductors Conductor material quality makes a world of difference in the sound of an audio cable. Since the surface of a conductor has 100% current density at all frequencies, the surface most defines the sound quality of the whole conductor. Ultra-smooth Perfect Surface Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist with any metal conductor. Solid Core Conductors Strand interaction is the single greatest cause of distortion in cable, and one of the easiest to avoid. Whenever current crosses the oxidized contact between bare strands, the signal will be altered. In addition, the magnetic fields of the various strands are constantly interacting, causing confusion (smearing) and causing the contact pressure between strands to be constantly modulated. AudioQuest's solid core conductors are the complete solution to this problem. https://nocnoc.com/p/Products/AudioQuest-สายสัญญาณ-RCA-รุ่น-GoldenGate-1-เมตร-RCA-Cable/10194324?utm_source=google_pmax&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=|pl:pmax|fn:conversion|cat1:electronic-appliances|cat2:home-entertainment|&gclid=Cj0KCQjwho-lBhC_ARIsAMpgMoeSUQAl162gRgGfm7mFtHCKDtyGbva0lY2SbtwWqPZE6xmbCNqDEpEaAmucEALw_wcB
  4. Well they would ????
  5. I decided not to buy the KEF speakers which was probably a mistake as I will have spent half the money getting something I can listen to flac music on at 24 bit / 96 KHz. I have a Fender Monterey which was on sale at a good price and have ordered a Topping 10s DAC from Lazada for 3,690 baht. I'll probably need a decent pair of RCA cables which could set me back close to 2,000 baht. I chose that DAC because it doesn't have a pre amp. The Monterey are active speakers. It also has USB input and RSA output only which is fine as the Monterey has RCA and audio jack input.
  6. I built a pair of speakers the size of a small fridge for a pair of Tannoy 15" (maybe 18?) concentric speakers. I made one fatal flaw though, I used marine ply instead of chip board so I could take them to outdoor parties.
  7. Did Obama put kids in them? Did he forcibly separate those kids permanently from their parents?
  8. I don't like wearing headphones. I do understand that the sound can be great but I find them restrictive to wear instead of just listening to speakers.
  9. That's a common argument but I believe it's not as bad as it's made out to be. I have a friend who is a real audiophile with $50k in one stereo and he claims huge differences. He uses tidal with roon.
  10. As I sadi but you missed the point, rich students don't even apply for student loans and therefore never have to pay them back with interest. Inequality. Universities that don't have an entrance exam still rely on high school exam results. Same thing.
  11. Yes, the verified sticker was an attempt at stemming the cash burn. Didn't work. This is the next idea. It won't be long before a safer alternative hits the market. Australia and the EU are slipping a spanner into the gears as we speak.
  12. I see that MQA is controversial. Any thoughts about Qobuz? It's cheaper than Tidal's MQA offering and likely has better quality than the Tidal basic service for $2 a month more.
  13. You're correct but the absence of those foreign workers is one of several reasons why Brexit was a bad thing for the economy. Great for xenophobes though. The economic warnings were out there in abundance bit ideology trumps economics for the far right.
  14. It the student loan forgiveness program isn't available for rich people. And nobody gets into university without minimum test scores. Admission policies are off topic here, this topic is about student loan forgiveness, not some far right talking points.
  15. I'm considering buying a pair of KEF LSX ii speakers and paying for a Tidal subscription to stream FLAC format music. Tidal has a superior service which allows streaming of MQA at twice the price. I think the difference between FLAC and mp3 is enormous, especially for a decent set of speakers. The KEF speakers possibly don't justify the additional expense for the MQA format. I can buy them for 46,900 from Piyanas in Pattaya which is 5,000 under the listed prices from online sources. <snip> Does anyone have any experience with these services and formats? I'd appreciate comments.
  16. At least some Republicans want to stop digging.
  17. Rich people don't have to pay interest on student loans because they don';t have to take them out. Hence the inequality.
  18. Potentially it's the same. Rwanda has a history of having the worst massacre in modern times, worst since the Khmer Rouge in the 80's. THis is clearly the reason that the court of appeals found that Rwanda is not a safe pl;ace. The only possible argument that you could mount to suggest that decision is wrong is to consider the high court to be in the pocket of the extreme leftist marxists. The decisionw as evidence based.
  19. No, it's real simple. The single difference between the EU countries and the UK is Brexit.
  20. Nvidia make the only chips routinely used for AI right now.
  21. Buy calls on the S&P right now would be a very bad idea. It may go up a little but the risk to reward ratio is astronomical right now. QQQ is way above the weekly bollinger band and a standard deviation over the 200 weekly moving averages. I have puts on the usual suspects.
  22. I guess the gas chambers were legal as well. Inhumane policies can't be made legal, they will always be thrown out by the high court.
  23. Got any evidence that's not the case? I insist that it is.
  24. Because somebody has to pay their social security. The better educated a society is the higher their income. Why do you think most European countries have only nominal fees with the rest paid by the taxpayer? The US has a major problem with social equality, driven by racism.
