No patience needed.  Looking forward to SUP yoga.  They like me there. The yogi tonight was selling a beautiful old inherited tube console stereo-mid century modern, great reviews on the sound.  It wasn't rotating properly and I rec'ed a repair man.  She got it fixed and is going to get many of my old LP's tonight. I might get some extra help out there. 

I bought a home near my office a couple years back, turns out my neighbor was a hoarder.  She had a couple hundred albums from that era, and an old console record player that needs some work.  At some point, I’ll look into restoring the record player and listening to some of the records.   Kinda cool to have, one is shown here.

Here's the piece she was going to sell for $100.

Hers is not "modernized".   still it has 8 speakers built in and tubes!  This was the best of the best in 1963. I gave her about 50 albums.  Simon and Garfunkel, Joan Armatrading, Joe Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, Neil Young, George Benson etc.  Several were bought on sale for around $3- price tags still in place.  Fully expecting an invitation to her and her husband's house to listen!

 

This is what she has.  Wish I had just handed her $100...but friends are priceless.  and I like my system.

Love that one.   I would think the one I have is mid1950s and not particularly high end.  Same general style. 
 

I also have this console, obviously not the one here but same make, model.  The TV guts are long gone, the radio turned on and worked, turntable (turntable went in the drawer at lower left) didn’t move.  I’m actually thinking of doing something similar (no fish tank), but maybe put in a new turntable and speaker, put a bar behind the TV lens and with that assembly on a hinge.

Very cool, dude!  I will add that if it sounds decent, I wouldn't put much money into the audio.  It's almost certainly mono if it is truly from the 1950's.

He never had the chance to win the nomination.  But he's far from done.

He should run as an Independent…he’d probably pick off votes from both parties…

Depends on what his motives are.  My son has a bet with me that Trump will run as an Independent if he loses the Republican nom, but I say no chance because he knows he'll lose and he hates losing.

Took a while, but RFK Jr. showed his true colors . He's stating that COVID was engineered to not affect Jews and Chinese as much.

In a wet market? Now that’s crazy talk! 😉

Drunk old man at fundraiser dinner starts talking about "the Ashkenazi Jews." Can anything good come from drunk old gentiles talking about "the Jews?" Umm, no.

 

Then defends himself by saying that he didn't mean that COVID-19 was engineered to save the Ashkenazi Jews. But doesn't deny that it was engineered to affect caucasians (but not Ashkenazi Jews? What are they? Sub-Saharan Africans?) and blacks. And to spare Asians. And says something about genetic codes.

 

Which is also very interesting since COVID-19 first burst on the scene when a BUNCH OF CHINESE PEOPLE DIED in Wuhan.

 

What a frickin' idiot. How people have convinced themselves to support this guy is beyond me.

Maybe Tay-Sachs protects them...

Now, either you're going the snarky response route or you're not a real doctor.

Maybe ... IF they are actually somehow protected (is there ANY epidemiological evidence of that?) then there would have to be some genetic basis for immunity. It is a preposterous stretch.

So why does he say these things? Simple explanation: it feeds the Jewish conspiracy myths that have sustained the conspiracy theorists for centuries.

For decades, R voters have noted how the mystique of the Kennedy clan overcame a woman being left to drown in a car, a 10 hour walkabout after the car went in, ties to organized crime, allegations of sexual assault and rape, the Marilyn Monroe thruple, addictions, hypocrisy,JFK Jr recklessly responsible for wiping out a family,  influence peddling, only to find RFK JR a bridge too far for democrats. 
 

COVID is the most lethal virus ever.  It may have done it Camelot.

About time we were rid of Kennedy hangers-on.

If he keeps polling at 20%, I say we listen to what the man has to say and keep him in the race.  
 

Btw, the Post story is deliberately misleading.  RFK is clear on what he said, crazy or not.  I never understand why these publications feel the need to rework and recreate dialogue, and why they are surprised when their credibility suffers.

Most know he's nothing more than the next Kanye West and is supported by Bannon, Flynn, MGT and the rest of the nut jobs.

I don't see anything misleading. He goes on and on about COVID being genetically engineered to selectively target blacks and caucasians (which to him apparently doesn't include Ashkenazi Jews). He later retracted that with respect to Ashkenazi Jews, but without any indication of why - other than political blowback - his original musings were incorrect, but only to the extent that he (mistakenly? why?) included Ashkenazi Jews, and "clarifying" that he didn't suggest it was deliberately engineered to have a different impact on different races/Jews. Which only leads one to wonder what on earth he thought he was talking about, because without that idea his rambling thoughts become less offensive but more idiotic.

If anything the NY Post kind of softballed the story, in that the totatlity of  RFK's musings is even stupider than indicated.

That makes little sense given his polling numbers.  I’d think he offers appeal to traditionally vaxx skeptic individuals—many democrats of course, especially when viewing COVID protocol and hypocrisy in the rear view mirror.

Are you serious? You have faith in polls after all projected a red wave?

The link you linked says this:

 

https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/

 

Did he say that? 
 

He says there are questions, but he does not declare that Jews were spared.  He also talks about ethnic targeting of bioweapons, and that’s hardly a new idea nor particulars controversial, is it?  

 

It’s less than a two minute clip and as you’ve suggested, he hangs himself on his comments if one is inclined to see it that way.  Let his comments tell the story.  Or, preferably, let members of the democrat voting bloc support him in large numbers.

I’m serious, I think he appeals to many democrats.
