41 days until the MIdterm elections.....

"I'm going to attempt to introduce to the audiophile market......"

I think the audiophile market would want full range bass response, though...

The low E on a bass guitar is 41.2 Hz, the lowest note on a piano is 27.2 Hz.   Kick drums, organ pedals....

Lots of music below 70...

10k for both ears on my MacBook speakers.

I have pretty steady tinnitus in the form of a background hiss which is around 9k (tested by my doctor a year ago...)

I have some mid to high end stereo gear (NAD and B&W 801's) which produces far more frequencies than i can hear - wondering if it is time to downsize.....

Your pal up in 'America's Hat'* is here!  Lurking.  Peering around corners.  Eyes and ears open....

One week away - what's your best guess at the outcome?

Posted By David Cotterell

Preamble:  Currently the Senate is 50R, 48D, 2I with those two Independents caucusing with the D's. 
The House is currently 212R, 220D and 3 vacant.

Let's hear from everyone a numerical prediction of what the make-up of the two Chambers will be on Nov 9.  There's no need for a lot of arguing in this thread - e.g. "You're wrong because yadda yadda.." No need to discuss individual races or candidates.  We can have our usual  civil discussion about what actually transpired after it happens....For now, just post your guess and then shut up wait.

Prize for the closest guess is bragging rights for the next 2 years....

My humble contribution.   Senate 49R, 49D, 2I.   House, 214R, 219D 

Over to you, fellow travellers...

It occurs to me that there will be some decisions delayed up for recounts and court shenanigans so the final and official numbers may not be ready Nov 9....

So be it.

I was hoping for a snipe-free, non-partisan thread.

What the actual f*ck was I thinking?

In an attempt to get a handle on the rampant, out of control inflation caused by Joe Biden's and the Democrat's Reckless spending...

I went to the store today and just as an example of the incredible cost increases for food, Eggs were at $6.29 for 18 lousy eggs, when I previously in 2021 routinely paid $1.79 per 18 eggs. 

That is well over a 300% INCREASE in just 1 short Year, caused by the irresponsible wasteful spending by Joe Biden, the biggest scumbag who will most likely have a legacy of being the worst President in the last 100 years, if not in US History.

He is a complete moron of the highest order. 

A top economist at Deutsche bank said that the US should expect at least 6% inflation contiuously for the next 5-6 years before it is under control, and he said that unemployment is expected to hit 5.5% by the end of 2023.

That's great news isn't it folks?

The power of Joe Biden to cause inflation knows no bounds, it seems.... He's causing inflation all over the world, not just in the USA!!!

This is a funny place

Posted By David Cotterell

I, for one, am simply amazed that 2 out of 10 000 people who are attacked by a knife wielding assailant will survive the attack and that both of them are here on this forum!   I mean, what are the odds?

And, the first person to mention a knife in this thread?  Richard, in post #2...

Quoting: "Me, I'm type (whatever  you personally care to label me as you do regularly), the guy who doesn't back down from a fight.  When a guy comes at me or any of my family or friends with a knife, I'm the guy that takes on the guy out front.  Its just my nature. "

You are in your right state of mind to be amazed, and the reason you are is because James is utterly full of shit, because he pulled his statistic right out of his ass when he made that ridiculous claim, saying that 99.99% of people would either be killed or severely injured, if they stood their ground rather than running as he would.  

However, your inference was not accurate when you indicated that I survived a knife attack.  That would be Greg only.

What I stated is that I'm the personality type who would be out front of my family and friends if we were confronted by an assailant.

I say this based upon experience of having been in a somewhat "gang" type of fight when I was younger and proceeded to foolishly take on a number of guys, while watching my so called friends  stand by and do nothing while I was getting it from all sides.  LOL

That was actually about 44-45 years ago, so according to the old song "You find out who your friends are", I learned that lesson the hard way that day!   tongue

And one last thing, the reason that you are witnessing a person who was attacked with a knife being present on the forum, is because the odds aren't 1 in 10,000 surviving a knife attack, they are orders of magnitude lower than James's absurd claim. 

The moral of the story is for you not to believe the claims made by the 2 resident fools here in responses #6, and #7.

They have decided that they will say whatever pops into their collective heads, when they haven't the vaguest idea of what they are talking about and they prefer to just  make it up as they go along.  wink
Rich, don't ever change.  If you were to do so we'd all be lost at to what to do here.
