This is how SoundPure.com ships a $999 reverb unit

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, I usually boil 'em for a couple minutes. You can sautee 'em too. Never eaten 'em raw.

[goroth]

Shit dude, that's awesome!

Blanched is the way to go. Really young leaves raw are nice - like baby spinach but not. But the bigger they are the tougher they are.
But dudes, oven roasted beets with goats cheese crumbled over... Drool!

[spaceanomaly]

for the last time I'll replie.
Not because I want to derrail a post that ins't mine [you are doing quite a good job at it], neither do I have a desire to carry any of this shit onwards, but this is getting way out of hand on a bullying sense. So I'll take the liberty to give you a final statement:

OK you're new here and I don't know you, so welcome to the forum. Maybe.

Thank you for the uncertain welcome and you are quite right; You do not know me. Because if you did - or any of the other peeps here who felt like droping their 2 cents of bully shite- you would have not write such a thing.

I'm really not trying to pile on, but you seem to need a reality check. Based on your posts in this thread...you come off as condescending, passive-aggressive and unable to practice what you're preaching with a complete absence of self-awareness. Post after post lacking "politeness" and manners in general; and dressing-up antagonistic rhetoric with empty pleasantries comes off as insincere when one's aim appears to be dressing others down, while being insulting through constant sideways-digs. You can also take that nationalistic attitude right on the arches...and I highly doubt your fellow countrymen would want you as diplomat after reading what you've expressed here.

I jut had my reality check: On the internet there seems to be a lot of misundertandings and language gaps. Because english is not my original language I have moderate difficulty in expressing my self and what in my language has no harmful intentions in yours it seems to have. Cool. Lesson learned.

So I do invite you to send me a PM refering to what you say: "Based on your posts in this thread...you come off as condescending, passive-aggressive and unable to practice what you're preaching with a complete absence of self-awareness".

Not once was I condescending towards anybody. I was not the one saying I was "not a broke college kid" [as if I was in college, a kid, or indeed broke, which none of the tree are actually true]. That seems to be looking down on whoever isn't born out of a rich family, wouldn't you say? Shoving ones bank account on the others faces is actually a substitute for other Freudian genital problems [as it is frequently reffered as].

"Post after post lacking "politeness" and manners in general"

give an example, I'll give you 2 in return stating I am in the right to defend myself and I know how to defend myself, and have no need for a pack of house broken dogs to come in my aid. But it seems you should know all about that.

"Passive-agressive"

?

- was there a sexual reference in this post? is this about S&M?

"Post after post lacking "politeness" and manners in general; and dressing-up antagonistic rhetoric with empty pleasantries comes off as insincere"

again, give me such an example of "impoliteness"! And now that you are on it, also be so kind as to state when and in which manner did I use of insenserity or empty pleasantries towards anybody.
Again, you know me from nowhere to make such a statement. By your logic I can say that you must be a pedophile just because. Either that or a submissive S&M boy slave. It seems you rushed in on someone elses defense needlesly. You HAVE TO BE a submissive S&M boy slave. It' not nice is it?

"dressing others down"

, - WHEN?

"while being insulting through constant sideways-digs"

.

- wow, you sure are distrustful. You know what it is said of people who distrust others, don't you? "not to be trusted", it's what is said about them. So I know now, you are one not to be trusted, which actually saves me time.

"You can also take that nationalistic attitude right on the arches...and I highly doubt your fellow countrymen would want you as diplomat after reading what you've expressed here"

- Here' the funny thing... I was the one pointed out I came from "whatever side of the world" without reffering to where I am. AND I wa plointed out [for some awkward reason] to do a GED test...?
And guess what, I'm at home surfing on the Internet. In my town, in my own country. BTW, It is true, we value "politeness" and generaly hate bullies.

"Moreover...there are people who can tell the difference between *real* spring, plate, room, chamber and oil can reverb vs emulation."

- yes, it' called Psychoacoustics

"It's extremely solipsistic to insist that if you're unable to discern a difference, then nobody else can, either"

- do you even know what Solipsism means???

"Context is key; and invoking some hypothetical and dubious, double blind test scenario to replace subjectivity is utter nonsense"

- What the hell are you mumbling about?

"I aint mad at ya, it's nothing personal...so don't misunderstand my intentions. There aren't many forum rules here, but in this thread, it's generous to say you've been toeing the line of #1.

"

- I ain't mad at you either. And it' nothing personal at all. And please don't misunderstand my intentions as well. I have the right to defend my self, specially of Bullies.

[Disarm D'arcy]

Dude, chill out. Like I already told you via PM, Goroth explained to you why many could feel your posts were not quite ILF. It's not a matter of language, your were patronizing him. And that wasn't cool.
People are not derailing the thread, they were trying to lulz instead of feeding the shitstorm you started by being so stubborn. Just be cool, relax, move on and I'm sure everybody will be cool with you.

So, Nora, how are you liking that new verb of yours now that you've had it around for a few days?

[Mark of the Beast]

Spaceanomoly, one thing to keep in mind is to look at how many people are telling you your behavior is bothersome. You may not think it is, but everyone else is telling you that it is. I agree with them. You should probably spend some time reflecting on what that means, especially if you find that happens a lot in your life.

Ugly Nora, post up a video of that reverb unit...and a pic of your garden, it sounds awesome!

[Ugly Nora]

I can't believe this non-American guy is still going on and on and on about how awesome he is. This thread is about beets now.

D'arcy- I do likes it! Although it doesn't really sound any different than the software plugins that came with FL Studio.

Mark- here is the garden I took a few weeks ago. In this pic you can see cabbage, mustard greens, kale, swiss chard, beets and spinach. I also have some other things planted that you cannot see, or planted since this pic: Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, habanero peppers, ghost peppers, king of the north peppers.

[insubordination]

Beets > gear

[Helter]

Whoa?! Is that like a community garden where everyone gets a little square or do you grow in all the squares?

[Ugly Nora]

It is a community garden at my job. They supply everything: seeds/plants/tools - we plant, weed, harvest, and eat.

[theavondon]

First,

for the last time I'll replie.

LOL

Second,

It is a community garden at my job. They supply everything: seeds/plants/tools - we plant, weed, harvest, and eat.

That's so awesome.

Third, that reverb sounds dope. And expensive shit really rules, even when you're an unemployed college student. I don't mix my gear money and my food money as a rule, and I never have. And that's why I'm broke as fuck, but I still just bought an Eventide Space.

[univalve]

I would Love to get a flickinger Verb too. Love the tube spring stuff and dig the Looks of that one!

"Context is key; and invoking some hypothetical and dubious, double blind test scenario to replace subjectivity is utter nonsense"

It seems pretty obvious that you need a better vocabulary and understanding of the english language to communicate properly on here. The two quotes above as well as the rest of your post show that you don't actually understand what he's saying. also you don't really need to defend yourself on the internet, no one knows who you are, you're an avatar and a name. who cares

I do think you both were being too personal though. caring about how someone spends their money is the same about caring about what religion, race, sexuality, clothes as people wear. none of these things should be effecting you.

OK then, you said your final piece, here's mine.

1. The "welcome...maybe" is my prepared response to noobs who may or may not be trolling. I should have spotted your apparent lack of tact and excess malapropisms as being telltale signs of an ESL speaker. Whoops.

2. Your struggle with comprehension is likely a consequence of said ESL. Maybe. However, you should be perfectly capable of using a search engine to understand "passive-aggression" instead of attempting to use it to come at me sideways in some bizarre tangent. Furthermore, you feel obligated to make ad hominem attacks after every defensive response. Enter condescension. Your "who me?" attempt to play victim after the fact only adds to the ridiculousness.

3. Don't attempt to give me a lesson in my mother language and its usage. If you struggle to comprehend how I was using solipsistic then it's a personal problem a search engine probably wont clear up. I'm confident everyone else who reads it is able to grasp my point, including numerous other international members. I'm not going to break down your longwinded and obtuse replies line by line, I'm already a wordy enough jackass as it is. The examples you seek are there, but the awareness to recognize them is not.

4. What's your deal with interjecting *paedophilia and boy slaves* as go-to examples to make a point understood by nobody? That's not the kind of shit people randomly bring up with strangers unless they're trolling or like, aspergers. So what are you even rambling about...? Never mind, no time for an answer. It's like this...I have 3 DMMs...and I stunt. So good luck in sorting out your issues...I'm not looking to take some goofy, meaningless argument to PM. I have other worlds to explore.
