··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.milk products and meat can cause rapid rotting. That is the reason.
pork is trichonosis, shellfish is red tide.

·What’s a Valhalla board?
Or more specifically, where is it normally employed?

There are also theories to do with the domestication of animals. All conjecture.

·Valhalla board is the control board in a Linn LP12 turntable. This particular one has been sitting on a shelf in my basement for many years- finally getting around to getting it back into service. I typically hate sprung suspension turntables (I have springy hardwood floors so footfall is an issue) but I played it in my basement system for a bit (concrete floors) and it’s a nice sounding deck.

·It’s tempting to assign modern thinking to ancient peoples’ motivations. It may be the case that these facts were known about pork and shellfish but there’s absolutely no evidence that these are the reasons for their prohibition.

·Since you mentioned octopus, the film My Octopus Teacher on Netflix is absolutely wonderful. I can't praise it enough. It is a documentary about a diver who visited the same place every day and gained the trust of an octopus who lived there.

·You make good points, for sure. But another common mistake is to assume people back then were stupider than we are... which they were not.
But more than that, it’s really interesting how important it is for people now to rationalise where there is no need to. The truth is that we don’t know how or why these religious practices started and we don’t need to. They just are what they are.

·So what you need to do is cut a turntable-sized hole in the floor and get a concrete column built. 😁
The common solution is to mount a wall shelf to avoid footfall issues- but I have plaster on lathe walls and I don’t feel like doing all that for an office stereo. My main listening room is in my basement which is carpet on concrete so I don’t have issues there- but I already run a highly modified Thorens 124 down there and a VPI- neither of which the Linn can dethrone. The Linn was just a novel ideal for the newly set-up office system.
I am now remembering why I stopped the audio madness so many years ago (and settled on my systems with no more playing around)- it can drive you nuts with all the variables.

·So, we've managed to go from a human GIMME pig (OP), to Rabbi, Priest and Pastor jokes, to Alligator puns, to Hebraic Law (and permutations), to burned out transistors, to Octopuses (Octopi?), to Valhalla, to absolute silly.
When are we going to segue into the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and/or Star Trek?

I believe the mods let these threads go on the way they do (unlike most other forums) because it’s like watching kids with crayons and a 200ft roll of butchers paper- you just want to see where they go.
