During the Spring 1995 semeseter, my friend Scylla, an MCB (Molecular and Cell Biology) major, was finishing up, at UC Berkeley. No matter how many times, or which descriptions, Scylla used to explain what, exactly, MCB was, your eyes glazed over. I don't know what she was cooking up in labs, but a popular song then was Elastica's "Wake Up." Scylla and her female lab partners also liked the video, which showed naked guys sitting on the floor.
The girls shot glances at you, and you threw your arms up, "Don't look at me! What do you want me to do about it?!"
You and Scylla visited audiophiles, who lived not far from her off-campus apartment north of campus. A small number of 'philes looked with disdain at Scylla. Less offensively, the rest just ignored her, acted like she didn't exist. She said that you had just gotten enough Kimber PowerKords, to wire your entire system. They still ignored her. You then said, "Yeah, I now have Kimber PowerKords to each of the components, which have an IEC jack. And that includes the powerline conditioners;" and the 'philes perked up enthusiastically, and peppered you with questions.
Scylla said that, on account of on-campus job fairs, she was deciding which company to work for. She was leaning towards the drug companies, versus, for example, the biotech firms my girlfriend ACS was interested in [ACS ended up at Genentech, growing cell lines, whatever that means]. Scylla said that, she had already worked part-time for a company developing, experimenting, and testing other formulations of birth control pills. She then repeated the line that, in practice, the nerd girls, possibly because they weren't as sexually experienced, were the worst, at using birth control.
The audiophiles then shot glances at you, and you threw up your arms, "Don't look at me! What do you want me to do about it?!"
When we left off, we had determined that an optimal length of Cook time for the Kimber PowerKord was 4 days.
In order to maximize the Kimber PowerKord's effects or influence, you should start between wall outlet and PLC. The late Larry Carter, aka the Inmate named Duster, would have delved deeply here. Uh-oh. Whether or not it's the PowerKord's Hubbell male IEC plug, the PowerKord reacts to AC outlets.
Here, the PowerKord is used with Oyaide R-0 (white-colored) outlets. While this (a) yields an even tonal balance, and (b) keeps hash at bay, you know that the PowerKord is capable of more air, breath, and focus.
The PowerKord actually sounds better, on the cheaper Oyaide SWO-XXX (purple-colored) outlets. There's better contrast between background silence and the music. The images are less diffuse. I guess it's like focusing your microscope, so you can more clearly see not just the details within the cell, but what's going on in there.
Because Scylla did not beat her boyfriends too often in video games, when that did happen, she enjoyed it. Because the PowerKord has a (a) relatively thin, flexible, and lightweight cable, and (b) small female IEC plug, it stands a good chance of fitting and routing to a video monitor.
After graduation, Scylla never did work on or with birth control pills. But she does mention that today, there are more variants, including some without estrogen. She also warns that, women her age, as long as they are still ovulating, can get pregnant. Do not throw your arms up, and go, "Don't look at me! What do you want me to do about it?!"
Scylla says, "Do you really want to be in your late forties, and have a surprise?"
But if you find these old Kimber PowerKords, use them with the Cable Cooker's Ground Breaker adapter, and you may be pleasantly surprised at how good they are.
