@thomasclaburn @bloor I think you mean antifungals. Antibiotics can exacerbate a fungal infection by reducing competition from harmless bacteria.

@bloor I've seen some crazy crazy stuff for audiophile applications (especially the usage of actual high amounts of silver — spending an enormous amount to supposedly make it actually sound different just because of the cable) but this is just... Stupid... Like there's a reason you do twisted pair! Twisted pair actually will have better sound due to this probably picking up more noise, so whoever came up with this is a nut.

@bloor

Here's the rest of that setup. Those are *mains power* cables — no bloody way that's legal.

The Reddit thread is fun, too.

@PeterLG @bloor Oh. My. God...

@c64whiz @bloor Turns out those are mains. (And I guess that's 240?)

Dropping a paper clip might just literally cross the streams.

@sophieschmieg hello "cage dipole".

@bloor #Audiophools are so funny

@greem @bloor

Sure that's all very well, but if you don't make those isolation discs out of 3.7 mm high density PTFE, you're not going to avoid subspace resonance above 67 GHz.

Also you still won't hear the full stereophonic effect unless you sit in that cupboard.

@DrHyde @bloor plain voodoomb

@bloor audiophiles are the biggest marks. they fall, in large numbers, for the "gold plated TOSLINK" trick.

@bloor
yea, verly!

@bloor

Wacky, but doesn't beat the article where they compared the sound of digital music files stored on an NTFS file system versus those stored on an ext3 file system.

I can't remember which one won, but one of them reliably had a richer, fuller sound.

@bloor tbh, data centers would look way more cool if Ethernet cables looked like that.

@bloor seems legit

@bloor @catsalad

@bloor must not have any cats

@bloor

I mean... it's ... creative?
