One of the best speaker brands on earth is Wharfedale out of the UK. Their speakers are a bit on the expensive side, but sound absolutely wonderful.
They've come out with a "new" speaker called the Dovedale, which is actually a re-do of a speaker they made back in late 60's. The best thing about these speakers, they go down to 25 Hz, which is VERY LOW for excellent bass response.
Here is an interview with chief speaker designer Peter Comeau, the genius behind Wharfedale. This is a fascinating interview, where he goes into great detail explaining the design of a modern loud speaker.
If there were ever a beauty contest for tornados, this one would win first place with ease.
Do you remember the tornado from the movie "The Wizard of Oz"? Did you ever wonder why no one ever seems to share video of tornados that look like that? Well, wonder no more, as a storm chaser in Iowa caught a "rope tornado" that looks exactly like the tornado in The Wizard of Oz movie! It's absolutely stunning.
This footage was taken on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 during yet another massive tornado outbreak, which is the the third one we've had this spring.
But it's not global warming or climate change that is causing all this activity, every single one of these outbreaks has been caused by a massive cold front coming in from the west. As a matter of fact, the western United States is having one of the coldest winters ever recorded. The snow and cold have been at levels never seen before in American history.
This is an absolutely outstanding conversation between two orthodox Christians: Paul Robson interviews Fr Josiah Trenham. They discuss what is the true purpose of man, and how to achieve it.
What makes this conversation so interesting is how Fr Josiah speaks with such incredible bluntness about Christianity and living a life of faith. It is incredibly rare to find a man of this level of wisdom!
I don't want to say very much about this conversation in my description, because it's such a joy to listen to. So listen to it! I give this video my highest recommendation. You will be greatly blessed listening to it.
Two very famous YouTube lawyers explain "the law" and legal issues surrounding President Trump's indictment. Of course, we have no idea what he's been indicted for, but that's part of the fun of this kangaroo court.
A clip from the greatest concert film ever made: "Stop Making Sense". This may be the most iconic song of the entire movie, as the lead singer, David Byrne, dons his famous "Big Suit" for this number. David Byrne was, and still is, a mad genius.
Need some music to get your booty moving? There's literally nothing better than "Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads. This will get your booty groovin' in no time! This video is a clip from the greatest concert movie ever filmed: 1984's "Stop Making Sense".
The actual concert in the film took place in December of 1983 in Los Angeles, and the film was released in '84.
Perhaps the greatest rock & roll album of all time is Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", one of many great albums that came out of the early 70's. Pink Floyd was nice enough to re-master the album and put it on YouTube for our FREE listening enjoyment!
I'm lucky enough to own a six-channel master recording on SACD (super audio compact disc) of this album that is incredibly fun to listen to, as it makes use of six speaker, each speaker getting it's own signal, or channel. Thankfully, I have a small home theater setup that works great for that sort of thing.
This remaster seems to be just two channels, but it's worth directing it to a high quality stereo system.
Should the states and provinces of nations separate and become politically autonomous? Should counties, cities, and communities do the same? What is the optimal size of a political unit? In this video, we are going to explore why the nation-states that populate the world are too big, and why decentralization – not voting different politicians into power – is the cure to many of the social and political problems that ail us.
This is an outstanding video about the importance of small, autonomous units of government. The founders of the United States of America understood this concept perfectly, and it's the cornerstone of conservatism, as well as the American form of government.
It's also the cornerstone of the Protestant Reformation, though not intentionally. The Protestant Reformation actually reached its ultimate fulfillment in the United States. The reason why Christianity is still a force to be reckoned with in this country, in contrast to Europe where it's almost nonexistent, is the fact that truly orthodox Christians seem to intuitively understand the need and importance of small, autonomous churches.
Sadly, thanks to socialists and communists, the USA and the rest of the west is headed towards a secular, totalitarian future based on lies and propaganda that have no basis in truth. Neo-Marxists are working hard to consolidate power through centralized power centers, much like the old Roman Empire. However, today's authoritarian movement is very much rooted in objective evil, and has none of the charm or brilliance of ancient Rome.
It's interesting to note that the direct inheritor of the Roman Empire is the Catholic Church. And much like the ancient empire, the Catholic Church has also been subject to tremendous scandal, corruption and moral failures of all kinds, hence the origin of the Reformation itself. It seems all large-scale centralized structures, even religious ones, ultimately become corrupt by power and privilege.
By keeping governmental units small and close to the people they govern, wide-spread corruption and moral failure is easily discovered and corrected. This is true for almost any organization, secular or sacred.
