Subchannel flatulence

Quality observation by my fellow engineer (also a radio survivor):

Music that’s been previously compressed to mp3 sounds like butthole on an HD Radio channel.

Music that’s been stored and played out uncompressed sounds like mere butt cheek on HD Radio.

And here I was thinking it just sounded like a foam cloth top brush with too many pieces missing.
Picture unrelated.

Supercharged for Stunning Shitposting

I added more disk space and removed old junk on this virtual server so it’s no longer constantly trying to run out of space and hit the wall screaming and stuff

To celebrate here is some nonsense

Found this really silly housing development on a ridge near El Dorado Hills that has no actual redeeming things that’d make you want to live there… aside from this transmitter site!
This blower’s not just NLA, it is OFFENSIVELY UNAVAILABLE. I can’t even find much evidence anyone even sold them when they were in production.
The tread wasn’t really glued on great on these boots so I reglued them and used a Tektronix RFM151 and an old handheld CB to weight them during the drying. As you do.
ChyronHego is in competition with PTek to figure out who can pump out worse mission critical bullshit for broadcast facilities

welcome to the dimension of glazed rubber parts

“friction is not yours”

You can pop the tire off, but where the hell can you get a new tire?

BVU-800, I would love to know why they bothered with those slip ring contacts since this deck is NOT dynamic tracking equipped – it’s just a 4-head player.


the hell is this thing, a wannabe corvair?

An example of a U-Matic cartridge. It’s actually pretty much as small as it could possibly be for the amount of tape it holds. This is mighty 3/4″ wide tape, but the image quality looks like you recorded your footage to Scott toilet paper.

I should have known better.

Well, I made this silly image one day while taking back to back horrible viewer calls over issues with rescanning their TV sets…
Now everyone’s disappointed that every fader cap in the building is not already a small plastic kitty loaf. They want them all to be kitty loaves.

I also want them all to be kitty loaves.

In other news, Facebook blocked me for 24 hours for posting a gif of a cat in a windowsill, claiming it violates their standards on nudity or sexual content. Well, I mean, the cat isn’t wearing any clothes, but then again, most aren’t. I find this fault of machine vision hilarious.
