Thing I hate about Samsung is all the bloatware they load on the phone. I always remove it or disable it to speed up the phone. But its the hassle. They say Motorola phones have very little "bloatware" installed from factory. I will research other Motorola phones too.

Yum !!!!!

Shopping for a new cell phone to replace my ancient Samsung S4 !! Yes I know ancient !! Been eyeing the new Motorola Razr (2nd Gen.). Was wondering if anyone has the Razr and their take on it. Ive read plenty of reviews online, but figured I would ask here too. Im also looking at Samsung S20 Ultra. Yes I know the S21 Ultra is out, but I do not need the 10X optical zoom. And I pay cash for my phones and can not see paying $900 for a cell. So any S20 owners, chime in too. But my favorite all time cell was the old Razr's. But the folding screen seems like it may be an issue in the future. And I keep my phones forever, hence my ancient S4. Thanks

Didn't notice the sound level changes. May be the YouTube thread I chose.

I was rifling through albums at our local Walmart and came across WVH Mammoth. Cover looked very cool and I had no idea who released it. I then saw it was Wolfgang Van Halen. So I thought what the hell, I will give it a spin. I was thinking it was going to have a Van Halen vibe. I was surprised !! Sound nothing like Van Halen, and I hear different influences in all the tunes. I hear STP, Foo Fighter, Nickleback, Seven Mary Three and many others thrown in. His own sound, so to speak. Side one is good, but side two is even better. Nice stuff and produced very well. All done at his fathers studio. And from what I read he played all the instruments. The vinyl pressing is nice and the soundscape is very wide. Nice freshman solo album. Here is one of the many great tunes. All you Rock fans check it out.

Which version of Quake ? Quake or Quake Wars ?

Love and prayers to his family. Rugger or Ted please keep us informed on his wifes health. Ted, if you or Rugger learn of any funeral arrangements let me know. I would love to send flowers. Or maybe you can set up an account we all could donate money for flowers ? Fuckin sucks !! Bart was one of the best !! Still is !! Save us a seat Bart !!!

Im already spoken for. But thanks for the offer.

I've known and played with Bart since day one. Had many, many late night games and general conversations. Im really at a loss for words, other than "We love you !! B-Man"

I am so confused ????

Yeah Im not into rap either. But lyrics are spot on. I was thinking of penning a tune on the same subject. Just for shits and giggles, but I was beat to it. Maybe mash this rap tune up and make it a rock version ?!! Hmm. A lot of verses though. Have to make it at least 120bpm to keep the overall time down.

Figured I would post the lyrics. And see what remarks come in. Spot on IMHO Lyrics If you lie to the government, they'll put you in prison But when they lie to all of us, it's called being a politician You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killings But your pro-choice abortion kills way more children If America's so terrible and racist It probably isn't safe to encourage immigration, just saying All the contradictions are embarrassing You know who hates America the most? Americans Trigger warnings used to be on TV for seizures And now they're everywhere to protect millennials' feelings He, she, his, him, hers, them, they Screw a pronoun, 'cause everyone's a retard these days I hear 'em preaching at a protest that hatred's the problem But hating straight men, white folks, and Christians is common Coca Cola telling people they should be less white They preaching tolerance but if you disagree, they fight There's a race war here, elections based on fear Black lives only matter once every four years Soldiers died for this country and every one of us benefits Give welfare to the bums and forget about the veterans Black folks and white folks divided by the news But we're all the same, we are red, white, and blue Ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool 'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too Y'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa You can't make us see it your way, no way Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no No more snowflakes They set us up to fail, that's what they built the system for Put an ammunition shop across the street from a liquor store Empowering women used to be different than this before The role models got OnlyFans or dance on a stripper pole Screw it, I ain't trippin', I don't mean to be mean But if our children are the future then our future is bleak They take an Adderall to focus, hit McDonald's to eat They're addicted to phones and they take Xanax to sleep They blurred the lines dividing communism and democracy In 2021, we paint the patriots as Nazis The men playing women's sports get trophies for winning Like great, let's celebrate a man for beating some women If you're black, your life matters, you're supposed to embrace it If you're rich or you're smart then you're probably Asian If you're gay, then you're brave, all of that I'm okay with But if you're white, the stereotype is you are a racist Blaming capitalism like that's the reason things are tough While you tweet from an iPhone and sip on a Starbucks You're supporting what you stand against, you don't think you are but A Percocet addict don't donate money to pharma Damn dog, we're all afraid to speak the truth And the more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do You're ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool 'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too Y'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa You can't make us see it your way, no way Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no No more snowflakes We could all get along but there's no stopping, ayy Everybody's wrong, that's a real problem, ayy They don't wanna hear it, but they still talking, ayy Soon enough we running outta options, ayy This ain't gonna end 'til it's in a coffin, ayy We ain't gon' be friends 'til we try to squash it, ayy I don't know how we can make amends or we drop it Snowflakes melt when it's hot, kid Y'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa You can't make us see it your way, no way Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no No more snowflakes Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Nova Paholek / Thomas MacDonald Snowflakes lyrics © Reach Music Publishing Tom MacDonald - Snowflakes (Lyrics)

We have two large flea markets south of us and the amount of counterfeit clothing and ladies accessories is crazy !! At least once a year the feds bust vendors there. But the following week the vendors are back. Catch and Release !!!!

Just read where vinyl outsold cd's yet again in the first 6 months of 2021. Quote from article "In the first six months of 2021, 19.2 million vinyl albums were sold, outpacing CD volume of 18.9 million, according to analytics firm MRC Data, as fans look for tangible ways to connect with musicians".

I have a Sansui SE-7 EQ , but have not had the need to add it to my system. The Sansui 9090DB Receiver has Bass, Mid and Treble. Plus the Treble and Bass each have frequency selector switch to change the freq. you want to boost. Just got a Sansui 5000 in that I just cleaned up and de-oxed all controls. Gonna fire it up tonight. Hope it works. The person I bought it off of said one channel was weak. Hope the cleaning solved the issue. But if it doesn't, I have a couple replacement channel boards for it. Those old Sansui 5000's sound amazing. Wife says I have issues when it comes to music and gear. I just bought all 6 Van Halen (David Lee Roth) albums. The re-mastered releases. Those all sound great. I can leave all eq's flat when playing them. Im a "Smiley Face" eq type of guy and they must have mastered those with that overall sound. Actually just got home from picking up a few used albums at Half Price Books. Gonna clean them and listen to them here in a few. Picked up a few James Gang, BTO, Guess Who, Foghat, Joe Walsh, Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, Pat Travers, Elvin Bishop and early Chicago (Chicago 1,2,3). Before they went to pop !!

Best PC speakers I have come across are the Klipsch Promedia series. Fantastic sound and can hit some very high dB levels with zero distortion. Now I do have a media pc hooked up to a Sansui 9090db with Sansui SP5000 speakers from the early 70's. Back when audio gear was properly made. That set up will produce concert level sound pressure with "Zero" distortion. I have a dB level meter and easily hit 130dB with no sound breakup. And could have cranked the volume up more.

Rob you need to come visit these fishing holes !!! Any lake in the US will have these fine fish, fishing during the summer months.

I see Klipsch 2.1 pc speakers !! Have same set on gaming pc. Love them !! Great sound. Those speakers have been around forever and for good reason.
