I used to work in audio, some of these superstition-level solutions are hilarious. I remember a site that sold little baggies of rocks that you hung from your IEC cables at the wall outlet, and I think they were almost $100 before shipping (7 or 8 years ago).

One thing I do like from the audiophile world though: elecrostat speakers. They're just neat.

Maybe the acid square should be Mimosa hostilis/Peyote instead to keep with the plant theme, but either way that one hits the hardest for me

The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer...)

No spood lovers in here?! I could watch those Darth Maul lookin' mofos all day long.

Also love the joros 'cause they eat that which I despise the most: the brown marmorated stink bug.
