        @JustAnotherRando - I went to the DIY forum the other day and saw a thread on a DIY Stax amp. Some genius said "How does this compare to the O2?"

        The hotheads will eventually run out of steam and people will be talking about how the new revision sounds great and is worth every penny. (I assume it does since Schiit bothered to release it.)

        Nice. I have that Amazon dual monitor arm at work. Can I ask what PC case you're using? I have a big-ass tower and want to downsize.

        I do like the arm, but I've realized it doesn't go high enough for me. I was gonna grab the fully arm, but then it turns out monoprice sells the exact same arm for quite a bit less. It's the Fractal Design Core 500, i picked it cause it's the only itx case I found that would fit the Noctua D15 cooler, ive also got a hybrid 1080ti in there

        I have but one monitor. I just got too old to sit half side-on to the desk with my feet up and crane my neck to look at it.

        Monitor arm is my best system upgrade ever!

        It saved some visible cable mess too, but behind/under the desk is still bad.

        I basically think of the three good ones, TFA, ESB, and RO. The “meh” ones, 4/6, and the bad ones 1/2/3. Except the Last Jedi is closer to being in the bad group then the meh group

        I seem to hate on 6 more than most. It was my favorite when I was a kid though, maybe because of the ewoks.

        Don't get stuck in the details about that paper. Conference papers also tend to have a few issues. Get whatever is useful out of them. If you need any help or have some questions, let me know. I might be able to help you.

        To solve the addiction, judicious usage of F12 and an autoclicker gets it out of the system ASAP. Still took 2~3 hours though, not including the time I actually spent playing normally.

        I'll have to say that this is a pretty interesting "completion" of her transition from country to pop, if a little shaky for this new persona. I'm having fun attempting to pick out influences from different tracks, but the disparity between strong and weak in this album is much more noticeable than before imo.

        I would say overall I dont think its as consistent as 1989, which is the only other album of hers I like, pretend country music taylor swift was never my thing. But I think that some of the shining stars off reputation burn brighter than those on 1989. There werent any songs in 1989 that I didnt like, whereas there are a few on Reputation.

        I mostly just want something small. I don’t usually like carting anything extra around, but since I have to use a dongle anyways, I might be willing to do the dragonfly black. Anyone know what sort of effect it’ll have on battery life?

        My first couple digital classes at my community college we did all our labs with 7400 series chips, but over the summer i bought my own FPGA and started learning Verilog.
