BUI - Guilty


OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?

My story:

I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance.  I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp.  Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes.  So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.

Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE.  Should be here by the weekend.

So what you in for?

*L*  I think it's captured us, frankly.  'Hard-wired' into the system nervosa...;)

The discussions regarding the 'uncanny valley' 'twixt us and the ascent of AI are fascinating to me.  Regardless of how much an AI can rise to in terms of its' depth of knowledge and the speeds it may have to employ what it may know about us, I still feel an accomplished magician could pull a rabbit of his/her butt and have an AI go 'what?!' *L*

I saw where a guy triggered Alexa up on two cell phones and let them have at each other.  A novel 'communication Fail' ultimately. 

*S*  Always preferred looking at the 'fringe', where things 'unravel'.
At least I 'guessed good' on my spouse...40+ years so far, and deed done 'influenced' by a number of factors....yeah, that was 'one'.... ;)

It's good to take ones' brain out for a walk occasionally....knock the dust loose, rattle the neurons a bit.
Can't get too much crazier than we are already....*G*

I was perfectly happy listening to a vintage Audio Research SP6B and a modified and rebuilt GAS Ampzilla, owned for 40 years and 46 years. But years of wondering how might better it be with better parts now available led to sudden acquisition of a Cary SLP05 ultimate upgrade and a SST Son of Ampzilla, both bought at essentially half price. Now I am wondering, did I really want to do this? On the first song with the new gear, I anticipate relief that the sound is indeed better...
Alcohol and related substances lower our inhibitions.  That is why we served them to our girlfriends while dating and to our wives when we are hoping to get lucky.  Any purchase we make represents the outcome of the struggle between our desires and the part of our consciousness acts as a brake on those desires.
  At least when we wake up in bed and have to interact with another person that under other circumstances we may not have had a desire to spend time with, it’s just a matter of making a quick exit and perhaps a trip to the Doctor to get an STD check.  At least buying a tube amplifier won’t give you gonorrhea or genital warts, but it sure can blow a hole in the wallet.  Perhaps the circumstances described by the OP may be the reason that many sellers here complain about buyers that stiff them and find absurd reasons to void a transaction.  Perhaps Buyers Remorse is really Stoners Remorse
