Current world pi memory record 70,300 digits http://www.pi-world-ranking-list.com/index.php?page=lists&category=pi took more than 17 hours to recite it. I actually saw a guy back in 1976 who only had only 10,000 digits, but had it in random access - given any three or four digits at random from the number he could continue from that point immediately. Same event (at CERN) that Wim Klein extracted the 73rd root of a 500 digit number in a little under 3 minutes. Klein's party trick was going out for a beer, and walking though the car park would memorize all the number plates and make/colour of each car. People in the bar would test him - he never got it wrong. He was employed by CERN to debug computer code - he was capable of doing a mental dry run to find tricky errors. Good heaven - I found a photo of that event on the web. I'm five rows from the front, 3rd from the right, checked shirt. Klein is standing, and the guy sat next to the projector is the pi man - totally forget his name. http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/december-2012/%E2%80%98human-calculator%E2%80%99-wim-klein-advanced-physics-inspired-others

Two undiscovered classics thanks to the screens at FFF The original And the sequel Mikey says "awesome!"

At House of Blues to see Holy Holy with Tony Visconti and Woody Woodmansey (and others) playing the entire Man Who Sold The World album plus other 70's Bowie stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Xavier and I got 17.42 miles in today, which was our longest ride together. I wound up finding the puncture and it was next to the rim tape... some sharp scratches. I don't see how he could have done THAT damage, with nothing in the tire at all, but shit happens. Showed him how to replace a tube/tire (without levers, but in the comfort of home and better lighting, and a floor pump) and we were off. He did great! We probably should have pushed to 20 miles just to say we did 20, but we had about a 1 mile gradual climb to end it, and it gets a bit steep for him (for now) just before home. He walked, and I rode slowly beside him until he could hop back on when it plateaued. Had a blast, and we should be able to get another few miles in tomorrow after school. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1121017927 **BRENT**

Been pondering this issue of problems with the SR-009 (mainly and possibly a few 007). I have just acquired a new L700 and the instructions say "avoid using earspeaker in a hot and humid conditions", without any specific guidance. Well I wouldn't use them in the bath, but all my listening is done in England where the rooms are about 20c (68F) and dry. I have never had a problem with my Staxes. What is considered opinion of what is too hot and humid for Stax ES? And by inference any possible connection with problems people are having?

Got my first Electrostatic setup (Stax SRM 1/MK 2 [Spritzer Mod] + Stax SR 407) and I've got to say Stax SR 407 has quite a bit of bass (More than I was expecting to be precise), in fact it has more bass than the AKG K340. Jazz, Western Classical, Folk, Indian Classical, Blue Grass seem to have a good pairing with this combo. Currently setup 3 is my favorite which is closely followed by setup 2. Setup 1- PC +J River 21 + Resonessance Labs Concero HP Setup 2- Macbook Air Haswell + Amarra Symphony + Resonessance Labs Concero HP Setup 3- Questyle QP1R

Will they be able to go all the way? I'm a big Spurs fan but I am rooting for the Warriors to get 73 wins as well. Even not, it is a mightily impressive to even equal the Bulls' winning record.

Nah, it will be close enough. Just made sure the resistors is a high voltage unit rated for at least 600V.

^^^ Me too. I stole it (as I do several things from this thread) to post to FB. An old friend who is pretty geeky was one of the first to like it. He and I memorized post-decimal digits of Pi when we were in 6th grade. I got to 35, he got to 50! We always chuckled when that math teacher used one of her favorite expressions - "It's as easy as Pie" [sic]

I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. Thank you for sharing this.

I can't say "73" without smiling! This team is inspiring. They've been the best story in sports all year long and they just keep going. Their determination and will-to-win has been incredible. The MVP is the MVP.

Sonny Bueno!

Guac is approved!!!

Not really cooking, but guac and pico to go Waugh the chicken that's about to hit the grill for fajitas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To add to the fun, everything is now sorted (The MAX4820 has been put in bags using an anti-static mat + grounded arm wrist). Looks like this: The Dig.Att. kit will come in a small plastic bag, the MAX4820 in in a antistatic bag, and almost all itmes has been labled A-S, like this (Label C i missing as it is backordered): The partslist and configuration will be downloadable from here in pdf format, and looks like: The following has no label as they are easy recognizable: Label A: MAX4820 Lable B: Capacitors Lable E: 32 x 49.9ohms

Hehehe, one of these opinionated morons come handy from time to time to remind us one of the many reasons why we love this place
