Blame Pa!

[Zen Mod]

This one should be sticky

Ok, I'm going to be first:

-He's officially responsible for me burning fingers with these multilegged fuses,
instead with my first Love - Toobz (proper ones, not those calculator display thingies, you're all using of lately )

-He's officially responsible for me greeting The Group, with words :
"G'day, my name is ZM;
I'm ZM."

-He's officially responsible for me finding humor in (some) electronic schmtcs,
and not feeling guilt when ignoring some not having it

********************

'nuff for tonight.

next please (hoping to read some funny and embarrassing stuff here)

I would ZM if I actually knew what you are indeed saying here.

By the way, what exactly is a wakootalian? Not sure if you are having a shot at our Italian friends - or it means something entirely different.

I blame Pa for ...

- wondering if I am worthy of calling Nelson Pass, Pa...
- getting a bit verklept for the first time in many, many years when meeting an idol...
- countless hours lost thinking, "but I'm an engineer, Damnit! I can figure this out... Nope, not yet."

Hopelessly lost and happy as an unworthy Greedy Boy.

I blame Pa for…

- encouraging me to build a B1, and introducing me to this thing called “DIYaudio”.
- 50W single ended class A amps
- responding to my emails
- Vfets
- being such a kind, generous human being

For...
Being featured on the next episode of the TV show, "Hoarders" for having a house filled to rafters with boxes and boxes of 2SK170BL's and LU1014D's.

I blame him for coming to the dark side, where no tube light glows and for turning me in to the hamster, collecting many parts before their final extinction.

For the rest you only have to read the other comments/posts

I'd say, to use the word blame for me is not actually the way it works for me, unless I understand the word the wrong way,
It's rather that I have to say big thanks to him for being here, even he doesn't know the one who are asking for help.. and he is the HELP..

 

[Plott]

If "blame" is meant ironically... I blame Pa for "infecting" Mighty Zen Mod who now develops and offers totally overcomplicated stuff, where every resistance is pointless and where the GAS comes in unimagined proportions, despite other expensive hobbies. And I'm grateful anyway...

 

[codyt]

Having an abridged copy of ZMgrish > English translation dictionary, I think ‘blame’ equals ‘thank’ in this context.

 

[hpro]

I do not know that English dictionary..
And also after looking this up on Google Translation it came up with a lot of things.. but the word Thanks I could not find.. you might check it out

Google Ubersetzer

And nobody is perfect..

 

[codyt]

No, you're interpreting everything correctly. I was just going for a bit of humor, as was ZM (I think). Sorry for adding to any confusion!

 

[peppennino]

@hpro: Never looked at ZM's blog, right?

I blame Pa for not having any space for eating on my kitchen island. It has been my indoor electronics assembly station for over two years already. Too many good things to build and then listen to.

Oh, and there are an excess of amplifiers stacking up in and around my listening space.

 

[Zen Mod]

language (any) is living thing, words can have both meaning and quality

though, recognizing context is in most cases crucial



and - is there something wrong with - Blaming Pa?

who's best figure around , for that?

 

[peppennino]

Irony, this unknown...

 

[tombo56]

Hpro, I blame you (by the dictionary meaning of that word) for making this thread serious.
This is not in line with OP intentions.
So, find some excuse by blaming Pa or ZM for something.

 

[codyt]

though, recognizing context is in most cases crucial

Context is king

Sure I did. And also I understand the meaning, but this doesn't mean that this is the way I have to use the word Blame instead of Thanks.

In Swiss we do not use Negative meaning phrases for people who are in any kind above in our understandings..

In Swiss we would use that for someone who is a close friend, so as I understand ZM and Mr. Nelson Pass are close friend, but for me he Mr. Nelson Pass is a Mentor, so it's not appropriate to use that phrase as ZM can use it.

Do you think this is Fair and clear?
Thanks for understanding..
Other Countries other Customs..

May the one or other Swiss guy who is hanging around here, thinks different.. we will know soon.
