The media, and even more progressive media is reporting on Trump's racist tweets by referring to the people he's attacking as the "Four progressive women of color."

No, how about the "Four women of color." Their politics are irrelevant. He's threatened by their gender and ethnicity.

Even though this conversation took place in England, it's a perfect example of the typical conversation I have with "conservatives."

They fear socialism (and brown people, and just about every fucking thing else) but can't even define it.

At one point the caller said socialism was an "incestuous relationship between big business and government."

Wait, WHAT? That's what we have now, and it's call capitalism.

If you search progress egress on youtube you can see all of the makers making their parts.

@umgeher So, Adam Savage at Tested got with about 40 makers, and they were each assigned a part to recreate, from the Apollo 11 Command Module hatch. This is more for art than actual use. They were allowed to use any materials they wanted. And on July 20th or something Adam will be at the Smithsonian, and he will assemble it all into a CM hatch replica.

@adamd You mean LUH ZAG NEY.

Who's following Project Egress?

@adamd That was eventually purchased. I did ground turkey though.

Power outage fried our cable box. When it went out it tried to come back on 6 or 7 times. Everything else seems to be fine.

Did my first chest and bicep workout since I returned from vacation. Felt pretty good. I didn't go crazy. I was at about 90%.

@manu @TheWonderDog Fair enough.

He needs to keep the media's focus off the fact that he and Epstein gang raped a 13 year old.

Expect his racist rants to get worse.

@ParadeGrotesque Yes.

@sikkdays The Laney high gain sound like Ratt used?

@sikkdays I won't use it all. I promise.

OR MAYBE I WILL. 🙂

@feld I used to make sauce. But I just don't have the time anymore, so I'm using my favorite organic brand.

@magaman77 That's a certainty.

@rick_777 CLOSE!

On thing I apparently forgot to post about in this build thread was the output balancing transformers I used. The preamp designer didn't balance the output for whatever reason, and just recommended using a 600:600 balancing traffo, so I went with Sowter 3603s. At first Sowter shipped me the wrong model. Had to ship them back (to the UK!) and wait for the correct ones, but they made it worth my while. A friend 3D printed me some custom holders/brackets too which worked perfectly.

Glad things worked out. Yeah. Check the tubes first! 🙂 Where are you located? Where do you get your tubes?

I just finished a dual channel tube mic preamp. If you're interested you can check this hashtag:
