Not sure this is the correct place to ask, but I've never been in this sub-forum before, and I didn't see any other obvious thread about it. I'm looking to purchase an audio dashboard to replace my radio, namely one that will allow my iphone to connect wirelessly. Is there a thread where I could get product recommendations for that?

He seems like the dorky kid you picked on at school because he insisted on lecturing you about poo poo you don't even care about.

The problem is that he can take a topic that would be fascinating and make it incredibly dull.

He presents stuff pretty clearly and accurately, which is way, way more than can be said for the majority of Youtube car people.

He doesn't even explain things well because his lens of the world is through his A+ that he got in AP Physics. That said, I'm kind of surprised that all of his videos don't start with "you place a ladder against the house on a frictionless surface," but I don't want to imagine that reality.

I'm gonna let someone else open the December chat thread, since I want to avoid offending our Australian brethren.

That last part is huge. I'm glad my new job is 99% left at work. I'll bring the laptop home on weekends ~just in case~, but I haven't even booted it when home yet. Albeit in theory I'm on-call, we get about 2-3 calls a year on weekends, and nobody will care if I don't pick-up. If I do, I'll get comp time out the rear end for it, so I kind of hope I get a few and can snag a day or two extra off here and there :P

I'm always online, mainly because that's how I de-stress for the most part, but my project manager is pretty clear: If the client asks us to do weekend work, its overtime.

I've now been waiting 5 weeks for my £3 ebay chinese MP3/Bluetooth/USB audio front panel to arrive :argh:

The £5 ebay chinese amp and all the connectors I need have arrived. Its quite frustrating.

I've also bought pretty much an entire gameboy from china and now have all the parts except the case and the buttons - which are the main bits I need in order to start construction

It's your own bloody fault.
First frost of the year and my rear window heater decides to stop working.

The heater in my car has never worked properly. On occasion it'll kick out some heat but only from the side vents and the windscreen one. Centre ones? Nah. When it decides to you can hear the mixer doors moving back and forth spasmodically.

I should really look into that considering how cold it was today. I should've looked at that during the summer but I was kinda concentrating on rebuilding the head and other assorted shite. I want a warm car but not in the whole 'overheat and blow a gasket' manner of summer.

His early stuff was interesting, but I stopped caring a long time ago about his new posts. And his voice is annoying.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
I know that this was a couple of pages back, but when someone was talking about feeling dissatisfied by life and work, but not knowing what to do. I have found a horrible and potentially lethal fix in my own life. Cold turkey quitting massive dosages of psych meds and enduring the misery that is ensuing discontinuation syndrome and subsequent psychotic break. It causes migraines, seizures, insomnia, and all sorts of terrible effects, but it cleared my head and showed me a lot about myself that I couldn't have found whilst on the drugs.
Alternatively, shrooms will accomplish most of the same stuff, but with less misery and it will only take 18 hours of your life instead of ~6 weeks. But the main thing is drastically alter your brain chemistry so that you can think in ways that you legitimately could not have before, and then stare into your own soul for answers.

Literally the only reason that I have started tapering off of the bupropion instead of cold turkey-ing like the SSRI's is because I was having non-stop tremors and having seizures every 30-40 minutes, so I was afraid of dying in my sleep. And I kept spilling things at work. I'm going to get yelled at by my psych in a week since this was of course done without his knowledge, but I'll see where to go from there.


Psych patients, amirite?
