Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.

@mahgister ....It's all in how one follows up on the vid post...

If I tag it here, no subs just quiet frenzies....
Go to YT, subs....

Mystery solved.. *S*

(Same URL, however...🤷‍♂️...sneaky plot, perhaps...*L* )

The Commons.....not so much so of late, other than complaint or compliance...

@ghasley ...but what's old is still quite alive, unless you're in the line of fire. 
I can appreciate that there's lots of tech and wire between some spats that flame up here.  There'd been a thought floated about AG Zoom (or pick your means) meet-ups, but...

If any had or are having such, it might answer why some posters aren't about lately.
Since getting to actually see whom you've vented your spleen at previously, the psychic shock may drive one mute in many obscure ways... ;)

@sns.."Every man for himself and god against all.." 

Rankles one to consider how quickly civility can fail, tolerating the wretched news that never seems to either...and the daily trudge seems to gain weight of it's own.

Still beats the alt., but it'd be nice to see things turn about on a civilization level, as in All of us instead the Some...and clean up our collective nest...

There is no Holiday Inn on Mars, and a one-way ticket is all we all have, even at home.... 😔

Ahead of it's time on a literal level....:(

Back to tubes for a second.

We shouldn't be buying Russian tubes at any price after the revenues have been used to kill Ukrainian civilians in war crimes.

Ever.

I hope we can all agree.

@clearthinker - Yep, I can certainly agree with you on that, if not much else! 😀

....although it was mentioned in an elsewhere that the major tube factory is owned by an American, supplies the bulk of the various brands....

To the average Petrovic and Maya in Russia our econowarfare takes a toll on them, not so much the government.  'They' have the means to carry on despite shortages, businesses closing doesn't effect the 'well-enabled'...

Enough politik, comrades....it would be great if there was a niche tube outlet here in the states...one can curse about US businesses that shut down and went to China or elsewhere, but unsure if there's anyone to fill that demand....

Good luckk, stiff upper lip, all that, J
