    Thank you! Honestly, the backdrop is of course tragic but the story about these two is nothing short of hilarious. I would watch a movie about them immediately, like for example Ben Kingsley and Ian McKellen playing the two.

    I don’t have many complaints about the Taliban, but I have a lot of complaints about him.” Levi replied that Simentov was “a thief and a liar.'”

    That line is just comedy.

    Wow I almost scrolled by but seeing the words Kabul and synagogue together was so strange that I had to go back.

    Very interesting read, also the bit about the two guys left arguing about the ownership of the synagogue and even complaining to the Taliban about each other is hilarious.







  • I read Solaris recently and was genuinely blown away.

    Stanislaw Lem was a genius. I recommend also ‘Fiasko’. ‘Ichon Tyhchy’ is also great, it’s a collection of humoristic sci-fi short stories. I’ve been contemplating learning polish just to be able to read Lem, it’s been said a lot of his word play gets lost in translation. Although I have to admit the descriptions of the geometrical forms in the ocean in Solaris where just too much and I skipped those pages entirely.


  • Everytime Kissinger is mentioned I have to think of this Anthony Bourdain quote:

    “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

    Bourdain is dead and that shit stain Kissinger is now over 100 years old. The world is not fair.



  • I am not a professional, but I don’t think that small vibrations could damage the mic. But those bumps and vibrations can create noises in the recording, since the condenser moves and creates a noise. Those shock mounts primary use is to minimize the noises by absorbing the vibration.

    The bigger wear on the condenser is you I would say, by talking into it, dirt and humidity travels into the mic and can over time deteriorate the parts and the recording quality. But this is normal wear.
