crabcakes dogg posted:For mp3 players, order a iPod Mini 2nd generation from ebay, an iFlash CF-SD adapter, 256GB SD card, and a new battery. It takes like 10 minutes to swap all of this out and you're left with a perfectly functioning old school iPod with 256GB of storage and the option to Rockbox it if you want, allowing it to play other formats (FLAC, APE, etc.) and better battery life. 100% agree with this. You're much better going for your iPod of choice (like the 5th gen iPod Video, my personal favorite) and fixing it up with more capacity and a new battery than fooling around with annoying cassettes. A modded iPod is especially cool and genuinely functional for the gym or long walks, unlike a bulky as gently caress Walkman.

This Techmoan guy is pretty good.  that even the best tapes with all but the best noise reduction have some hiss. I mostly listen to black metal nowadays so that's all part of the charm for me anyway

tapeline.info sells blank cassettes for around $2 a pop: https://tapeline.info/v2/black-screwed-cassettes.html Also found some cheapo Walkmans on eBay. Now I just have to settle on a tape deck and amp.

I drive manual because it’s more fun. Just nailing a downshift without any jolt, nothing like it.

Andenno posted:I'm a weak baby who can't squat 500 lbs, but I thought this was the opposite of how it worked. Like doing free weights strengthens your stabilizer muscles and engages multiple muscle groups, which would help your posture and pain. Free weights are better marginally for muscle development, and do exactly what you say. However, it is true that bro culture stigmatises the use of machines which are actually way safer. You are much more likely to injure yourself, potentially seriously, lifting heavy free weights. Most experienced lifters have had at least one. Generally, this serious injury risk is taken as part and parcel of getting ripped, or a delusional just world fallacy that only lifters with poor form will get hurt.

Generally, this serious injury risk is taken as part and parcel of getting ripped, or a delusional just world fallacy that only lifters with poor form will get hurt. I have definitely pulled a hamstring and other muscles lifting freeweights over the past 5 years. Machines come with their own risk of injury that are a result of poor decision-making when planning a workout though. Because of how they constrain range of motion you can make specific muscles very large and strong without strengthening any of the supporting muscles around it. You have to plan your workout to account for this. Otherwise you can pull muscles doing very basic tasks with your newfound strength. It's just you won't do it during the workout, you'll do it doing something mundane like picking up a box and lifting it over your head.

Using a 10 year old Sony e-reader I got for free instead of "upgrading" to a Kindle or burning my eyes out by reading on my phone. Still listen to tapes in my '89 Nissan because I'm too lazy and cheap to bother changing out the stock head-unit. Buying and listing to CDs instead of just Spotify streaming the album to my hifi setup. Tbh it's more to support the artist and the fact that there's no guarantee with anything when it comes to streaming services. Buying a $150 phone every 6-12 months instead of spending the extra and getting something good for $400, and therefore having something with a decent camera etc. that will probably last longer. But they're so fragile and disposable nowadays I'd rather own something I don't care about breaking at all.

i think its easiest if you look up simplified diagrams how a clutch actually works as well as have someone describe to you what you have to do, and understand the purpose of why the clutch is there and energy transfer from engine through drivetrain to tires and eventually smoke from the sweet burnout ur gonna do and then clutches in like toyota corollas and 90% of consumer cars are super forgiving any ways numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Apr 23, 2020 |

crabcakes dogg posted:. Just did this. How do I make my life harder? Let me count the ways: It’s essential that my hacked iPod have at least 2TB of storage. I only have about 200 GB of music and audiobooks but I might get more. I’ll buy an MP3 player with 200 GB of storage, but if I DIY I absolutely must spend three times as much money and ten times as much time making sure that my work is exceptional in a way that is completely irrelevant.

I have epilepsy so I can't be a car bro  Chomp8645 posted:I don't like cars. Not if you live in New York City! Anyway, I really do miss the days when phones were just phones and not little computers that happen to also be able to call people. I like cameras, MP3 players, and portable game consoles all being separate things. Generally speaking, I also prefer physical stuff -- paper receipts, paying fares with tokens, pushing actual non-touchscreen buttons, printing out boarding passes, etc. My work computer's volume controls are 100% touchscreen & the buttons only protrude like half a millimeter, and I hate it so much.

It comes with a greater risk of injury because it's up to you to do it right, but the benefit of actually doing it yourself is, well, being able to do it yourself. Working out heavy only on machines is setting yourself up for a nasty surprise later on. I'm guessing most people mix free weights and machines anyway though, which seems good to me.
