  1. Walking Dead has been pretty good this season.

     

    I think I am going to fall behind on my F1 watching :'( People are only posting super high res HD (7+ gb) torrents for pre-qualifying/races. I used to love watching them live on TV when I lived in Europe, but it doesn't feel the same watching recorded sports.

     

    Sad that Don't Trust the Bitch in Apt 23 is getting cancelled.

  2. I'll play NR with you guys tonight. If you have a copy cool, if not don't worry about it. It will have to be after 10 pm est

     

    btw, good kind of brown spice > bad kind of brown (MD aka Richard Hammond hating type) spice ;)

     

    edit: re-read your post, I am pretty sure I don't own this game. Can't log into Steam to check though.

  3. Wishing everyone good luck in their fight to lose weight. There is probably a list as long as my arm of things that can go away/be minimized with weight loss.

     

    A few minor things that helped me, all fairly easy things that didn't require major diet modification

     

    -cut out all soda; even drinking diet may not necessarily cause you to gain weight (though it can), but it can be harder to lose weight when your body senses something sweet insulin levels are increased following the sweet rush (two ways insulin is stimulated 1) higher blood sugar levels 2) a hormone GIP released in the stomach. Sweet soda stimulates the latter). Replaced with coffee (2 cups per day max for me). If you're drinking soda for the caffeine it barely has any.

     

    -use the stairs. My workplace is the size of small village and I would use the stairs all the time, even going from first floor to 10th floor if I was by myself or with people that didn't mind doing it

     

    -stopped having that one or two beers occasionally after work. Just stuck to drinking socially.

  4. Does anyone else find it funny that Justin went from taking his training wheels off to getting a Tallboy in 30 days... but Deepak has been on the verge of buying a bike from this century for what, a year now?

     

    **BRENT**

    Actually if you count the pre-HV bike thread, more like 5 or 6 years :police:

     

    Justin the VPP suspension is really good for light trail riding, it's pretty stiff under normal pedaling without any bumps

  5. medium is the smallest for that model.  they say its for 5'5" and up and i'm also 5'8"

     

    so i just realized that the rental I had that I thought was too big..i'm pretty sure it had a Fox fork which would have been 120mm of travel

     

    the one i demo'd last weekend that felt more comfortable had a Rock Shox 100mm fork.  could that have been the difference?

    2 cm isn't a big difference, but it could have contributed; I have no idea what that extra travel translates to in head tube angle. I think the LT's I have ridden were 150 up front, but I just realized the frame geometries on those are different from the regular TB's and head angle is 1.5 degrees slacker so my previous post probably doesn't apply to anything :palm:

     

    Usually when I've found bikes to not fit me it's top tube length and seat tube length that are the big contributors.

     

    If it was the fork travel issue (other thing I can think of is stem length), 120 forks can be dropped down to 100.

     

     

    Love the mud ...

  6. You can rip SACDs with a firmware-hacked PS3, so the DSD source material catalog is essentially (and potentially) the whole SACD catalog plus the emerging download market. I have said PS3 and have ripped my SACD collection, which I am now able to enjoy again after years without a compatible player.

    That makes sense, if you have the means to do it. It's an arduous process and I'm guessing most audiophiles are re-buying into DSD with the promise of DSD downloads catching on. Even in that seminar there was an argument of 64fs vs 128fs vs 256fs. It's really a headache when SACD DSD is 64fs and what current downloads are being offered as. And people are already claiming the superiority of the other two. So how many times do they want you to rebuy these downloads whenever a higher DSD multiplier rate comes out?

     

    Anyway just my rambling opinion :)

  7. What is there for DSD source material, just Blue Coast Recordings?

     

    I'm not sure I understand this DSD come back given how high res PCM has finally somewhat caught on in an already miniscule market segment. It's like Blu-ray vs HDDVD all over again except with less than 1% of the population as the target. I watched an hour long RMAF seminar on Youtube on how DSD is better than PCM. I don't even know why :/
