Gas Prices Taking Effect: 11 Billion Fewer Miles Driven This March

Hillary vid is no more. This picture is an illusion. Up close, it looks like a somewhat blurry shot of Albert Einstein. Move back 15 feet (or more) and it's Marilyn Monroe.

QFT. I quit 8 1/2 years ago, and still get cravings upon occasion. I fully expect to get them the rest of my life. It's part of the cost of quitting smoking. I'd still not go back, but if I was diagnosed with some terminal illness, you can bet I'd have one last smoke.

No really, he's there. No tricks. [url=http://i25.tinypic.com/m9pnhk.jpg]Answer key.

Wow, just wow. I missed this thread the first time. After seeing the first image, I am impressed. Tyll is hardcore. After seeing the second second image, I'm uh... I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to un-see that/forwarding it to as many audio snobs as I know.

Potentially not safe for work http://i26.tinypic.com/dbi3hl.jpg :kitty:

You have *ahem* something in common with our president.

Enter your address into the walk score site, and it "shows you a map of what's nearby and calculates a Walk Score for any property. Buying a house in a walkable neighborhood is good for your health and good for the environment." My house got a whopping 8.

Did they do that on purpose?

...and here I thought this was another ScarJo thread.

x2. That was pretty much genius.

From the Ghosts and Life series.

ISTR a sales droid @ Spearit Sound told me that Rotel amps are grounded through the preamp via the ICs. I have no idea if this is true or not. It sounds plausible. Curiously, one of my DJ mixers (a decidedly mid-grade Gemini 626) has a 3-prong IEC, while my much more expensive ones (Pioneer and Allen & Heath) do not. Pro video editing equipment almost universally has 3-prong IEC connectors. Pro audio gear is a distressing combination of IEC3, external PSUs (wart-in-the-line and wall warts) and hardwired cords.

Around here, that's a rhetorical question. This is Club "Dew Eet."

Sauce. Larger version here.

When I bought my GLite, the owner threw in a Shunyata <mumble> power cord. It's one of their lower end models ($125-ish). It was sufficiently excessive (30A rating, absurd gauge) that it dragged the DPS/GLite away from where I wanted it. I use it on my 5 ch Rotel amp now, which isn't going to be dragged anywhere. I'm afraid my scientific testing on the Shunyata (I think it's a Diamondback, but I can't be arsed to go look) is about as extensive as what I've done with the Quails: I plugged it in, and went on with my day. I will say this: the IEC connector on the Shunyata, while transparent and fancy looking, doesn't grip nearly as well as the ones on the Quail cables that cost 1/20th the price. This is especially annoying on Rotel components, which only have two pins in their IEC jacks.

The Boston Coffee Cake, Marble Madness variety. The complete opposite of what I should be eating, but it is So. Good.

Oh. You meant one of those round things Europeans like to kick around. Why didn't you say so? EDIT: Shee-it, they're a 20 minute drive from my house.

Soccer ball?!?
