Food For Some Deep Thought: ...... Our Solar System consists of our star (the Sun), and its orbiting planets (including Earth), along with numerous moons, asteroids, comet material, rocks, and dust. ..... Our Sun is just one star among the hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. ..... There as many as six billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy. ..... There are as many as two trillion (2,000,000,000,000) galaxies (modern estimate) in the universe ..... Scientists have discovered the GN-z11 galaxy which seems to be the farthest detectable galaxy from Earth. ..... GN-z11 is about 134,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers (13.4 billion light-years) from Earth. Sometimes I wonder and seriously doubt what I was taught in school and church, that this entire universe much larger than we can even begin to comprehend, is really in existence with us as the only residents? Personally, none of the listed mentioned points entice me to actually "think" deeply as I am far too lazy to perform such works. To this day which "are" observable planet(s) supporting life? Perhaps I'm an imbecile because I have no idea how anyone could make propositional statements as such in context of our observable limitations in our universe. Likewise, I have no idea who the school or church is that was mentioned nonetheless the definition of "life" or "existence" according to whatever sources or references. I mean, isn't it an assumption to state that laws or constants remain consistent across "a or the" universe? To clarify, depending on historical context some schools of thought state that the universe is finite, infinite, and or one of a sum number or infinite w/in numbers of a multiverse. And in addition, the Roman Catholic church was the center of attention for persecuting an Italian astronomer named Galileo. The Roman Catholic church believed science was infallible and when Galileo contradicted the science of his day he was charged w/ heresy. Whenever I read w/in "reason" certain areas of study which aren't based on observation, testability, and repeatability I always I ask how does one define science? Enjoy Chuckie!

The news makes my brain hurt. You have numerous outlets "creating" news 24/7 when there is really 15 minutes of factual news mentionable per day. Shut it off and listen to music!

..... Find a new place to hang out for 2021.
,,,,, Find a place that has folks with senses of humor.
..... Find a place that doesn't lock threads for no reasonable reasons. (Good grief)
..... Thanks for the occasional good laughs. Too much effort for very small returns.
..... All the best for some nice friends.
..... Take Care.
..... Chuck's not here man.

Onkyo and Sony seem to be out of the high end audio market. 😐
Am I wrong?

If it doesn't hurt when someone you knew and loved for 30 years plus, then something is wrong. I lost a friend I knew from my Xerox Days. Too many friends lost in so such a short time. Don't wait to appreciate your friends.

Onkyo and Sony seem to be out of the high end audio market. 😐 Am I wrong? Maybe Onkyo if Klipsch doesn't do right by them. I have not been impressed with Onkyo lately anyway. Compared to the 80s and 90s, Onkyo being a real player back then. I sold Onkyo toward the end of the greatness. I sold a ton of the stuff. Great sounding, well made and really gave the other brands we sold a hard time. I annoyed my Boss by selling out our Pro Logic Onkyos because they sounded better and my customers loved them. They didn't care that much about the latest decoding plus they could pipe AC-3 in those days so they stayed happy. Sony will most likely reorganize their AV business, and their Imaging and Professional products. Sony Financial is still killing it and keeping the company going. Pioneer and Onkyo and others do not have Financial Products so they will flounder due to their limited portfolio. Onkyo can come back, but I am not ever going to buy another Onkyo product again anyway so they were gone to me years ago anyway. Sony on the other hand, I think will stick around. Their Financial and key Entertainment products keep them going. Interesting YouTube video discussing the possibilities of Sony.
