The pennies ‘fact’ is only half correct. 16 US Cents measured 0.896" high (.056" on average). The Standard dimension is .0598" diameter giving .9568" for 16. Still 4% short of 1". Mine are obviously warn. The diameter is .75" giving 12’ length. Mine measured right on.
Peekaboo is like my Gracie, she’s part scientist. Push it of the table and see if gravity still works. She also has to check the toilet to make sure the water drains properly.
Tubes do not have a Purer sound. This is an perceived effect be they don’t reproduce high frequencies as well as solid state amps.Tubes are far slower. The transistors in an integrated circuit are literally millions times smaller than even the smallest tubes. Here, the smaller, the faster.Tubes waste almost all the power used to heat them.A small microprocessor, with millions of transistors costs less now then tubes ever did in their prime, even without counting for inflation
I received my attendance award two days after my layoff notice. They wanted everyone to identify short-term and long-term goals. Mine were to get payed on Friday and be employed on Monday. Far, far to realistic.
I don’t either, but we got one anyway.
