source: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal I think I just became addicted to another webcomic. This guy is brilliant.

That is wonderful.

Merry Christmas, one and all! I mostly lurk here, but I learn a lot and I like the character(s) of this place. Best of the season to y'all!

Pour on some brandy and strike a match,... Oh wait, I thought we were talking about finishing pudding preparations.

I live to serve, m'lord.

I thought it was F - fire dept., A - ambulance, P - police. I'd rather believe Reks though.

I recommend regular prostate exams past the age of 35.

I don't know about JHs, but I have trouble maintaining a seal with my custom musicians' earplugs. In the absence of being able to transform them to silicon, I've found that smearing a dab of petroleum jelly around on them prior to use helps a lot.

I suggest KSC75 and spell-checking. Correct punctuation wouldn't go amiss either, but I suspect multi-tasking may be a bit much for you.

I wish all y'all Americans a Happy Thanksgivin'er.

I'm going to get a strong drink and come back to see if this thread looks any different.

Booze.

Read boomana's article in the wiki page of head-fi.org.

Beauty, thanks! That spells it out about as simply as possible.

Uh, I guess I'll just use some big ones and see how hot they get then.

So, I want to build an L-Pad based headphone adapter so I can connect headphones to the speaker outputs of an amp. This is mainly for S&Gs, but if it works great then I have the added bonus of having my innate and poverty-enhanced cheapness vindicated. I was planning to use this information from Meier to optimize the impedance for my headphones: http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/ - click on "tips and tricks" and look under the impedance optimization title. One thing I can't figure out (yes, I'm challenged with these types of calculations) is how many watts the resistors should need to be able to disspate. Let's assume I have an amp that maxes out around 50W into 8 ohms. Anyone?

Bowls. Haven't heard it with flats.

^ That's what I always felt about the lower-end Grados. "Great for rock!" shout the SR225 fans, but I can't even hear the kick drum when the guitars get loud. The HF-2 was certainly better at keeping the bass in when I heard it though. If I were looking for a dynamic 'phone to complement my HD600s I'd put it on my shortlist.

The sequel to FUBAR, the greatest hoser mockumentary every made, is released on Oct. 2. For some reason I can't get the trailer to embed.

I'm hoping to get my medical use card this fall. There may be an advantage to having late-onset epilepsy after all. Anyway, I recommend that you buy something you've never heard based on the recommendations of complete strangers.

xkcd: Desecration This is now my favourite comic. Don't know why it took me so long to realize it.

I think this comic has ruined flow charts for me for life: http://xkcd.com/518/
