Popular Post The Computer Audiophile Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 This is too good. “The defendant said he was upset with his multi-disc CD player because it would not work. He brought it outside and shot it with his shotgun 2 or 3 times. He said he then beat the player against his truck 10 to 15 times.” http://www.citypages.com/news/charges-maplewood-man-shot-cd-player-that-would-not-work-with-shotgun/566808731 Solstice380, DuckToller, daverich4 and 3 others 6 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Popular Post Samuel T Cogley Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 I totally sympathize with this man. Quality CD players in this day and age are rare and very expensive. He just wasn't looking forward to shelling out four figures plus to replace it. 😃 The Computer Audiophile and semente 2 Link to comment

Popular Post Ralf11 Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 That story makes no sense at all. If it started off with "Florida man..." it would make sense. Or if it said "Minnesota Man Covers His CD Player with Lutefisk or even Hot Dish, then sinks it in his ice fishing hole..." -- that would also make sense. lucretius, Superdad, AudioDoctor and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Apparently you've never taken ambien. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

bobbmd Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If it was ‘statins’ then maybe his high triglycerides caused that type of reaction in that case he needs gemfibrazole And why is he a defendant?
