Only 6.5 hours more of driving after 5.5 and taking a break in dc

I was on the mall this morning running by the Lincoln Memorial and saw a nerdy audiophile playing on his phone ;)

No COOL people at least. :D

Take care. Make good decisions.

Are you driving alone? Road trips should always be fun with the right people

Was with other people, just arrived, wasnt too bad

Must be hell on dog hearing. As if being in a kennel isn't bad enough...

Yeah, that's where we come in to fix it. Hopefully get reverb time down to about 0.6-0.7 seconds

Following fix, owner complains because dog likes to listen to itself barking...

Did you pimp slap that proff silly for using unqualified monkeys for grading too?

Did you have to use the magic stick? You know, the one from that 50 Cent song a long time ago...

My most dreaded university classes...The ones taught by TA's that were ESL. Couldn't explain stuff for crap and then graded like a communist dictator that hadn't been laid in a while.

Prolly 2 wires and nothin but air in there.

At only $210 they cant be any good. Hopefully that's at least per connector?

Oh god it's Synergistic Research all over again.

I like 250-300ms, but that's not that easy in a larger room. I wouldn't worry about it too much if the reverb has an even tonal balance.

Basically what I wrote here:

I also think it's important to have some drop in level betwen the reflections and the direct sound. Here's an ETC for my listening position: https://i.imgur.com/jkt7jcM.jpg

Anyway, I'm no expert and I think this is a very personal thing, so YMMV. Sometimes the graphs are misleading, too. Bright + beamy can get you amazing looking ETC graphs. I can get an ETC with a 30db drop from the direct sound to the reflections by measuring on-axis even at 2m distance.
I'd be interested in what the others think as I've been wondering about that too.

And it was what I thought, just a huge boost in sub bass, and something else bad going on https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1043180-cd-audio-is-really-not-the-full-recording-of-sound/

Encyclopedia Spwath!

Get an airbrushed tee shirt! At one point Myrtle Beach had more golf courses per capita than any other place, or at least they claimed.

Myrtle Beach was the go to for Spring Break back in my day. I will forever fondly remember the Running of the Pi Phis.

Applied to Bose as well, and some more mechanical engineering internships

All the best!

The curve isn't really the main issue I guess then. The main issue was his way of grading. I guess Ill just study harder for the next one.

As a professional educator, my opinion is that grading curves are always shit. All of them. All of the time.

Turns out it went well, see my latest status

I'll wager $10 this is another ASR twat come over to earn Amirpeen points with all the other 15 year olds he's brainwashed.

You'll read about how mean we were, how unfair, blah blah bullshit.

Hey man, I'm not mad. What's this all about? Something about some recommendation?

Meh. Let it go man.

Yeah. And then just got a 61 on my thermodynamics test. Time to really start trying and stop wasting time. I know I can do it, I just have to devote the time to do it.

Chill on the extracurriculars and do some cramming, mang.

Yeah. Though I talked to half the class, and only 1 of them passed the thermo test, with a 75. Everyone else was in 40s, 50s, and 60sm

If you are falling in love with cinema, you might dig the visuals in older films https://youtu.be/LppctxCYBzM

I have seen some older (silent) black and white films in German class, Metropolis and The cabinet of Dr. Caligary. @FallingObjects I have seen that, good movie, I'll have to check it out on my big tv though. @DigMe I have not, I'll have to check it out

Go back two (or even three?) generations and watch Fred Astaire.

The *definition* of class.

Every now and then my boss will toss a cigar to me and we’ll go to the pub and talk business over cigars and Bourbon. Life can be good!

I love it, on the closet door beer pong table!

Yeah, classy mixed with trashy. The door is so heavy though, the chairs supporting it are breaking.

Ooo, connecticut shade wrappers are usually nice! Light, creamy texture with a hint of sweetness--one of my favorite wrappers (that and Nicaraguan Habano). Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente cigars with the CSW is one of my favorites.

Ok, I got something from Ashton, IDK what exactly, and my friends got some other things from other brands I don't remember.

Should be A good night to celebrate the end of exams. https://imgur.com/a/hmJCaRi

Once upon a time... My downstairs neighbours berated me because water was coming in through their kitchen ceiling. I said it was nothing to do with me...

tbc

... When I went back upstairs, I checked out the sink: no leaks, and the only thing it was full of was dishes.

And every few seconds, just one drop of water was coming from the tap and bouncing onto the floor. Red-faced, I went back downstairs and apologised

We did all the dishes, and I checked the water, tastes normal now...

I'm glad the combination Works :)

Bach is very mathematical.

That's interesting, never seen that before. Seems like a relic from it's past, and not anything anyone uses today.

Yep, the Porta Pro is an old design, dating back to '84, I think? Easier to imagine call center workers in the '80s with their Porta Pro and little pompom mic. They sound better than they have any right to, though!

I want one
