I'm on a roll...

Sunday school topic:

"Resolving genetic trauma from ancestral ethno-conflict through non-binary logic: how the historical texts agree"

Organizing principle: "At any point in human history there have been exactly as many religions as people."

We can get together on Sundays and sing from the book of Dylan, Dead, Beatles, Band and Marley?

Um...

I think I just invented a new religion?

Did a gsearch, nada... Maybe already in literary fiction somewhere?

"Church of Christ the Geometer" (est. 2025)

Logging for posterity, lol
(& to keep the lasagna flying)

Proposed doctrines
Words=flawed symbols
Trinity=unity of mono/polytheism

I think my phone's touchscreen keyboard was being extra annoying and I blazed past to finish the post.

I hope to visit someday.

John Kadlecik @johnkadlecik.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, thank you

John Kadlecik @johnkadlecik.bsky.social · 2d

Rest in peace, Donna Jean.

It was a blessing and an honor to know and make music with you! From the time I cold-called you to invite you to see DSO in Atlanta to joining your family dinner in Florence you have been a shining light in my travels.🤍

Sending love to David, Zion, Brian and Kinsman.❤️

They switched to culture warfare after the Islamic revolution. Which began as a communist intellectual revolution before it got hijacked by thug autocrats masquerading as Islamists.

Thanks to BP & the Dulles bros.

Someone will be able to do it for kicks in minutes, we just need to plant the seed

They got hackers and Internet. Just saying.

Review the SolarWinds hack. We have no idea how much blackmail material was collected or backdoors installed.

China still completely owns all our cellular communications.

I truly love Bluesky.

May the enshitification never arrive here!

Such a breath of fresh air to not have to see ads, trolls, or engagement farms.

I passionately believe the American Dream is still in the larval stage and won't be fully born until there is no majority ethnicity.

Nah, they are just louder and post more often than mainstream liberals.

Time to ditch the left/right binary brainwashing, everyone is on a spectrum politically.

Is the old seating chart of the French parliament really all that relevant anymore?

Let's just try: cooperation > competition

Latest follow up: do NOT use threadlocker/loctite (blue or red) on plastic.

I shall be ordering a new waveguide for the compression driver.

Randomly turned on the TV and flipping through the free broadcast channels...

And catch the end of Terrapin Station as commercial bumper music for the World Series!

No video, but here are some disassembly photos I took to verify correct polarity when I reconnected the speakers.

I messed up one connection when removing the old preamp board and had to solder 2 wires to a circuit board for the tweeter. But it sounds great on first power up & I'll use it tonight.

12" speaker removed from Fender FR12 to show wire connections

Tweeter speaker removed from Fender FR12 to show wire connections

Photo of FR12 preamp chassis partially removed from the cabinet to show connections.

How much Russian spy tech will be built into the walls, amirite?

It will need to be demolished for national security.

I went with the Celestion compression driver that seemed popular with the Fractal Audio forum on the subject. I was originally thinking I wanted a dome tweeter, but the wider dispersion is traded with lower sensitivity, and I wasn't sure the HF amp would keep up.
