i used that jamacian beer's bottles once (red stripe?) and holy poo poo do not use those thin pieces of poo poo for your own beer. there is nothing worse than waking up to the sound of wet explosions. trying to get them outside when half have already gone off is special kind of terrifying too.

the solution is to drink lots of Grolsch in flip tops and reuse the bottles. flip tops own for home brewing

who wants to help me with an epic amp question



OK


so i have my sub sorted. i am looking for an amp for my regular stereo speakers

requirements - um stereo input and stereo output


that is all

i dont think i have an ear for quality so unless its tragically terrible i can probably deal with it




currently i am using an old pioneer all in one cd/tape/tuner unit i got like 15 years ago and have it permanently on aux inpt and it works OK but its huge for what its doing and it puts out some fuckin hot air ALL THE TIME and im starting to feel its a safety hazard




it seems very easy to find either very small amps and cheap n poo poo or you skip straight to tube amps worth $1000s of dollars


this current amp says its 270 watts. i have no idea wehther to believe that or what its meaning exactly it doesnt even say rms or whatever

and in fact to be honest the car amp i am using for my sub powered from a pc power supply is probably perfect only i dont have another one... maybe i should just look at that.


welp this is futle

if you like grolsch you can actually get a decent amount per empty bottle reselling them too

in fact it fucks me off how hard it is to find a simple decent amp


like its all features out the wazoo or other bullshit


car amps are good in the sense that they are single purpose, they dont gently caress around etc... but they are 12v... mother fuckers



if i could find amps for housoe stereos but designed like car amps, you know, just amplify and nut else.. wow. so cool

I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”

brewing is fun and cool but the bottling part is dumb and boring and prone to explosions if you're impatient

this is why you buy a pressure barrel with a tap and if you want to sperg out and be classy, buy a pump and stick it in a bar if you drink it all the time

so i got one of those. it has a -12v... correct me if i am wrong but this isn't ground right.., it means -12v realtive to ground so -24v relative to the +12v line?


also is that voltage adjust thing just for minor adjustment?

i dont know what i am doing. good huh

EMILY BLUNTS

presumably.
the description just says "12v"!
so if you see GND, 12V and -12V you get out a meter and see. are the labels right? do you get 24V between the two 12v's?

if you don't have a meter then just lick the terminals and gauge off pain :)

hey, hi, i have a question

i have a very stupid idea for something which would basically require the same guts as the haptic compass (except instead of being a buzzy belt it's something else)

my question is how the heck do you connect an arduino to an iphone app

nfc or bluetooth module id guess

oh i googled it and yeah bluetooth

i guess to get ur bearing u need to make an app that lets u set a waypoint and then just constantly sends the bearing over bluetooth. unless u put a gps module on the arduino thing itself so u only need to send over the coordinates
