General discussion

just remember, the analog bandwidth of UK mains cable at lengths of 10 metres is about 400kHz, aka: well above whats needed for speaker cable
Its also cheap and low resistance, and sold in B&Q

Am I finding a trend that America is falling in the truck design compartment? The only tolerable one is the Ram and Sierra + Canyon, the Silverado looks like a gurgle, and the F-150 might as well be the pick-up version of the Expedition, I swear that grille seems to be Expedition-inspired. Atleast with the Titan, Navara, Hilux, Tacoma, Tundra, and L200, they actually look pretty fine. Even the Ridgeline has better proportions than the 2019 Silverado.

 

The Expedition has always been derived from the F-150 (both mechanically and for the body) so..

The 10 year old T-platform is used for all their large SUV's that I know of and is based off of the P-platform, used on their pickups.

 

I finally got caught up on the last three episodes of Star Trek: Discovery. I was unsure of how I felt about it at first, but I think it's starting to come into it's own. I'm excited to see what happens next.

The "old" Star Trek series all had iffy first seasons as well, so I think there's still every chance that Discovery could join their ranks.

 

Not gonna lie, I was using Mains cable before this stuff... I got this cable free with my Second Nad (Yes, I have two now... I love my Nads.) and well, it looks pretty (Gotta have that senile audiophile street cred) and it's slightly thicker gauge! Y'know, for when I'm driving 2 ohm speakers at full power... Output transistors be poppin' like pop corn. In truth I barley push over 10w.

 

I found a 2008 BMW 535i for $8,900. I tell you what, if it didn't have over 100,000 miles and were $1,500 just to have a mechanic even look at it (because I ain't touching a damn BMW with my own hands), I would have even test drove it.

Damn.

 

What's the deal with 100,000 miles? Isn't that okay? It ain't like it's 200,000 miles.

 

100,000 miles is pretty average, if not a little low. It seems crazy, but 2008 was 10 years ago. That said, I wouldn't buy it either for the second reason reason you gave.

 

My issue isn't the mileage, but the fact they were gonna end up getting me for over $10k for it.

 

Some of our analog engineers legit did some tests with the scopes of high end audiophile cables versus just el cheapo mains wire and found the mains wire basically outperformed audiophile gear.
Thicker cable will increase the cables effective capacitance and cause a crude low pass filter effect, though you'd need a fairly substantially thick cable to do that down in the audio realm, even the "highs" of an orchestral piece electronically are pretty low frequency

 

Good job I mostly listen to rock and metal which only chuck full of distortion then...

 

I thought I have to test AC and as price is not that bad now, but waiting is kinda boring:

 

AC and rFactor 2 are some of the best simulators outside of iRacing. You won't regret it.

 

When you're local Chinese restaurant thinks they are the producers of a geico commercial.

Well, 15 minutes can save you 15% or more on car insurance.

What the heck did I just post?

 

Here's something interesting: Changing a rapper into a metal band.
An example of this that I know of is Eminem. Here's one from Jared Dines:

A few are off though, like My Name Is.

 

Pre-Recorded CD



Burned CD



Noitce how the RF singal is weaker and much more noisy? That's why some CD players wont read burned CDs

 

Elon Musk actually shot is fucking car to mars



I'm nerding out so much. I calculated that it'll take approximately 23.37 days for the Tesla to reach Mars' orbit. So, in theory, it'll get there March 1st or 2nd assuming it's still travelling at Falcon Heavy's Q-max velocity of around 25,000 miles per hour (~40,234 KPH).
