Tortuga - I resemble that remark!

Another update today - this time I had to reboot the PC to get it to work after the update

I have done sound at meetings, Circuit and Convention level since I was 12 ... I have installed sound in more KH's than I can remember. We have, on occasion, worked with a congregation that had a remote mic stand. They were not part of the sound equipment recommended from by the Branch, but they were not prohibited, either. Here is what I discovered over the years: Remote mic stands While convenient, are not very common and seldom used at the Circuit and District/Regional level Since they are usually operated by the sound operator from the location of the sound desk, they are not always positioned at the proper height since person adjusting it cannot always see the end of the mic clearly and at the right angle Cordless ones are not always kept charged and fail during the meeting Corded ones have too much excess cord to drag around if the mic has to be moved Gooseneck mics While it makes it somewhat easy for the speaker to adjust his own mic, many brother push them too far away They tend to squeak and creek when adjusted, especially if the mic is turned up If they are fastened to the lectern, they often get in the way of the speakers notes, Bible and devices Likewise. if fastened to the lectern, they pick up the rustling sound of the papers and thudding of any movement the brother makes Most ne KH's and major remodels where the sound equipment is replaced that I have worked on opted for conventional quick-adjust mic stands

Man's idea of solving a problem

Put it this way ... in the 4th post in this thread two pictures were posted. Those two individuals have been and continue to be "hot topics" and very polarizing to the US - even some JW's have feeling about one or both of them. When asked what I think of them, I express that neither one of them is better nor worse than the other, they are just different. As to who wins the coming election ... makes no difference to me since I have no way of knowing who Jehovah may use to usher in the GT.

Personally, I would rather have the type of neutrality that is akin to having a car out of gear ... not merely sitting with my foot on the clutch.

They were well known for their grinding rhythms ... they were also said to have abrasive personalities

I just change the channel to a DIY or Food channel and leave the politics to the news channel. I can scan news headlines on my device and read any local news I may be interested in ... no pausing or FF needed.

They changed several things and I do not like the changes. Some of the things I did that were a single click are now 2 or 3 clicks ... not an improvement. Also, they reset some of the options to a default and now I have to locate where to reset those options

Is there some significance to those pictures? Why would I have any reaction to those pictures? Who are those people?
