@nprofile…md38 @nprofile…3sqr Another good "repairing stuff" YouTube channel I recently discovered. Very satisfying to watch someone who is really good at what he does. I will be interleaving these with Tally Ho videos for a while in my queue... https://www.youtube.com/@MendItMark

@npub1utv…87lr I'm filing an official complaint. Expect to hear from my lawyer.

@npub15ml…2w4s Ah, ok, that makes sense. I don't know why that didn't occur to me…

@npub15ml…2w4s The survey didn't give the answer I have for why I'm on Monthly. It's because I'm pretty sure you only HAD monthly when I signed up (am I misremembering that?), and I don't see an obvious way to convert to annual. I’d be happy to be on annual even without a discount, but I don't see an upgrade path for that.

@npub1fq5…p8du @npub1tr8…w0wq Yeah, for sure, I'm ok with some noise. When I say "bad" I mean stuff like serious warping, off-center, non-fill, extreme levels of pops and crackles, etc.

@npub1fq5…p8du @npub1tr8…w0wq If I had to guesstimate, I'd say that 10% of the new records I receive have some noticeable issue, and maybe a quarter of those are bad enough for me to complain and try to get a replacement. Way less than 50%, but also way more than it should be IMHO.

@npub1fq5…p8du Buy new vinyl these days feels like even more of a crap shoot than buying used. I have SO MANY duplicates because I got a damaged or badly-pressed one and they sent a replacement (which often has the same or worse problems). And yet, I keep buying…

@npub1utv…87lr I too have an Amex platinum and am a big fan of Amex, but I still run into places that don’t accept it so I’d be kind of bummed to have my Apple Card (which I use as my default Apple Pay card) be Amex rather than MC or Visa.
