The review/article is worth a read. It’s short. But it agrees with my comments (I hadn’t seen it, don’t know of the guy, but it’s not hard to jump to the conclusion).

I find it interesting so many SV would-be ‘libertarian’ technobroligarchs say ‘no’ to so many things but these builders never seem to say what they want… (other than Thiel’s desire to make sea-steading a thing).
There’s a reason for that.

Rescued another couple of (identical) hardwood Hong Kong armchairs from potential demise. One needs a couple of joints re-glued.

I put a thread on The Other Place. Then a follow-up. It was too long but hordes of Bluesky users… actually just @gallimaufries.bsky.social) asked if I’d cross-post it here.
It is stupidly long and could have been a ‘stack but I’m not quite there yet so here it is as text file screenshots.

So, while drinking a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout in my just-received sycamore mug, purchased from @andywoodturner.bsky.social, I will comment on the excellent analog rig in the pic.
The turntable appears to be a Micro Seiki RX-5000, an excellent high-mass (high inertia) table from a top Japanese

One of the reasons why I still like The Other Place is the serendipitous.
I like wood craft so follow some furniture restoring and wood-turning accounts.
I like audio so follow musicians and the odd vintage audio account.
I occasionally comment on turntables (cc @moyeen.bsky.social).
