Gary Burton? Oh, no one special. Just the guy who invented modern two-hands vibraphone playing, played and taught jazz for half a century, and nurtured jazz musicians like Pat Metheny, Makoto Ozone, and Julian Lage.

I’ve been prescribed, and taking for a while now, daily Dutasteride plus Silodosin (Urorec). However, the latter has the unpleasant side effect of suppressing ejaculation.

Tadalafil (Cialis) does not seem to do the same, however other potential side effects involving sight and hearing are listed.

I’ll ask my doctor if such a swap would be advisable.

I have one too, nice little car.

Unfortunately Volkswagen stopped making them, and the new ID line embodies many negatives of new cars.

Any details about the open source replacement for controls?

It’s even more striking once you look into the history of money, and realize what’s going on.

End the Fed.

Cars suck, man 3 years ago

I've been driving an e-Up for the last two years and am happy with it. It's a small car, just 240 km in the summer and 180 km in the winter though.

The battery pack is not temperature-controlled so it gets hot in long trips, and recharging becomes excruciatingly slow. Then again, it was not designed for long trips.

The new Citroen e-C3 is a modern, cheap(ish) car with a similar concept: optional touchscreen and many physical controls.

I too have the HD598, great open headphones: you can hear environment noises perfectly well, and they sound great. When I need some insulation, I use the Audio-Technical ATH-M40X. Also sounding great, quite faithful, like the HD598. The price is similar.

Not to mention all the problems from staring at LED monitors all day long.

Not sure what problems you mean. Any reference?

Ode to the M1 3 years ago

It is not often I am blown away by a piece of hardware.

Indeed. The Korg M1 was definitely a milestone in the history of music synthesizers.

Oh wait…
