Oh yes, 'hi-fi' was BIG stuff back in its' day. Remember when you could
buy a console TV that included an AM/FM radio PLUS a turntable?? Hot stuff
until either the turntable or radio went on the blink. Then if you had it
repaired, which meant a trip to the repair shop, you were without a TV.
 
That's when homes only had one TV and many didn't have whichever was not
working repaired.

So an AM car radio is your baseline??

A very minimal baseline.
 
My husband's PC has quite nice speakers (for a PC) and he listens to
music through them all the time. My PC doesn't, and I don't. Our
TV has a soundbar that produces amazingly good sound.
 
Beyond a certain point, I just don't care. Audiophiles are wankers,
just like car guys or any other fanatic.

I had a TEAC rtr, a Sansui 5000 amp and a Zenith Transoceanic radio
that i bought overseas. I believe the TEAC was sold in this country as a
Roberts. I can remember a cousin demostrating her new Hi-Fi system
to me by playing The Everly Brothers. When I buy a CD, not often, the
first thing I do is suck the songs off of it and convert them to MP3s
using Exact Audio Copy on a Windows system. It cuts their size to about
a seventh. My old ears usually can't tell the difference. However in
one of my all time favorite Moody Blues songs, Out and In, there's a
long fadeout at the end that's completely missing from the converted
MP3.

Some of my relatives had a TV where you could hold down one of two
buttons on top and it'd clunk through the channels. They thought it
was the cat's ass. My father spent a good bit of time behind ours,
B&W of course, pulling tubes and taking them down to a tube testing
machine.

Oh gosh yes, I can remember my dad taking tubes out and putting a replacement
in. Also, there was some sort of spray in a can that would clean the channel
dial nob so it would turn smoothly. Rabbit ears of course but we never used
aluminum foil on them as some people did. Ours always got good reception for
the four channels we received.

That's good. The others rip you off here. And that money doesn't go to
their suppliers. They get ripped off too.

They will all do that if they can! Have you come across Lidl? They are
good too!

Yes, he could make cornbread with this but he'd have to add salt and
baking powder to get it to rise.

Will you add an egg and milk or buttermilk to the mixture? Cornmeal here in
the USA can be bought labeled plain or self-rising. The plain variety has to
have salt and baking powder added to give it lift. I buy the self-rising
variety.

No, they haven't been cooked to death beforehand. True, they are cooked but
under pressure before canning. The 'cooked to death' comes when people dump
a can in a pot and simmer them covered for over an hour.

GOOD HEAVENS!!!! Bruce would just have dream about cornbread but he said
polenta is available there so he's good to go. He'll just have to add the
right stuff to make it good and for it to rise.

Squeaky is what I like. Just had some with turkey, gravy and carrots. Dish still on the sink.

i had that happen with a large batch of very hot pepper
sauce i was making to spray on the cedar trees that the
deer were eating one winter.
 
2 gallons of very nasty hot pepper sauce all over the
place and all the pieces of glass. what a mess.
 
the deer liked it and it didn't stop them from eating
the trees. right before i sprayed it on the trees i
also whizzed in it. no difference. when they're hungry
in the middle of winter they will eat about anything
they can find.

Yes, chemtrails, dangerous stuff! They want to control who we vote

Patients who test positive for the coronavirus weeks after recovering
from Covid-19 probably aren't capable of transmitting the infection,
research from South Korea shows.
 
Scientists from the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
studied 285 Covid-19 survivors who had tested positive for the
coronavirus after their illness had apparently resolved, as indicated by
a previous negative test result. The so-called re-positive patients
weren't found to have spread any lingering infection, and virus samples
collected from them couldn't be grown in culture, indicating the
patients were shedding non-infectious or dead virus particles.
