I'm not even on social media and I get texts from people trying to convince me politically one way or another and I have to keep reminding them that I don't take sides, that the government is horrible and I don't trust any of them. NONE of them, especially the idiot in office. One of my buddies keeps texting me "news" stories about how "it's not that bad" and I'm just like ok dude, the country will be opened back up soon so you get your wish, please stop texting me these dumbass articles. And the next day another article, "NUMBERS ARE INFLATED BLAH BLAH BLAH"

So I'm seriously thinking about getting a large-ish wave runner since I don't have room for a boat, anyone have any experience with the Yamaha FX/VX series? From what I've read so far they are like the Toyota Camry of PWCs. As long as it has a four stroke I'm good.

This is cool man, what kind of speakers have you been running with them so far? I'd love to hear how it sounds hooked up to a good CD player and bookshelf speakers.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I eventually plan to use them with a miniDSP HD. The miniDSP will be running room correction and the active crossover so each amp channel will be wired directly to a single driver in each speaker. Four channels for two 2-way speakers. This is interesting I've never heard of these....How exactly do they work? Would I benefit using one with a 2.1 powered system on my desktop? I've got a pair of powered M-Audios and a powered Polk sub running through a DAC at the moment. It's in a pretty large echo-y room and using the EQ in Windows Media Player doesn't do much to help the sound.

Darchangel posted:My wife wants to get a Switch, for that and a couple other games, think. I'm not *completely* opposed, but we already have an Xbox One, 360, and PS3 connected to the TV. Minde you, only the One gets used with any regularity. The PS3 can probably come out and jut be connected if I get a wild hair to play Uncharted, Gran Turismo, or God Of War. Or not. I think I still have inputs on the receiver. If she wants to spend the $300, I'd rather spend it on an Xbox One X. Not sure I want to until I see what the Series X will do and cost, though. So I guess she can get a Switch if it's her money and she can find one. I bought all the other consoles. I'm still playing my PS3 and refuse to get another console until the PS5 comes out although now I'm hearing it's backwards compatible with everything BUT the PS3....What the gently caress is that bullshit.

Anyone have one of those gas flat top griddles made for outdoor use? I've noticed lots of them for sale lately so they must be a thing now, would be pretty cool to whip poo poo up like it was a diner flat top, breakfast and smashburgers and all that kinda stuff.

Krakkles posted:Just had a super weird interaction - Sounds like the guy was on drugs, mentally ill or both. In my experience doing security and dealing with aggressive high and/or mentally ill people, your best bet is to completely ignore them (while watching them in your peripheral), walk away and wait until you're completely out of their sight to call the police. Once they see you pull out your phone they either flip out or run. You need to give them the impression that they have nothing to worry about and let them flip out on the cops when they get there, it's what they get paid to deal with.

ExplodingSims posted:Its all so frustrating. They pay has been good, but that's been about it. This is really kinda straining my desire to stay there, but its been hard to look at any other options. If the only thing good is the pay then yeah it's probably time to move on, it's never worth it if you don't respect/like the people you work with. And it will probably never get better, once a culture is established it usually takes a complete re haul to change it. Taking a pay cut to work at a better place where you'll be happy is not a bad thing. [e] I came back to Florida after leaving because I wanted a change, no shame in that. It made me appreciate the tropical climate even more after living in Buffalo for two years

ExplodingSims posted:Thats the other thing that's keeping me from jumping right now. Like, even if I got a "better" job, would it still be there by the end of summer? Well to be fair, I'm pretty sure in Florida you would always have work, the a/c dependency here isn't going anywhere until the apocalypse. If you're unsure about coming back to FL, try taking a week or two vacation back home (IIRC you have family here?) and see how you feel. When we did it that's when I knew we were coming back, I really didn't want to go back to NY after our vacation and about a year later we were back permanently. No regrets, it was a good experience overall living in NY but at least we gave it a shot and know now that this is where we want to stay.....We almost bought a house in NY lol glad that didn't happen.

MrOnBicycle posted:Enjoy some motorhome crash testing: I'll just stay in a hotel. Really, unless you're using an RV every other week or actually living in it what's the point. For the ridiculous prices of RVs these days you could stay in nice hotels at the destination you wanted to go to and rent a drat car if you need one. If I feel the need to go camping I'll use a tent.

MrOnBicycle posted:To be fair, there are many valid points (and some really stupid points) in those pictures. Problem is that the idiots posting them don't understand even the basics anyway, so it doesn't matter if some points are correct. I've heard stories about people dying from leaving their masks on too long as well from lack of oxygen and/or carbon monoxide. One story was some old guy in his car wearing a mask that crashed and killed someone else, and another one about some kids in Korea wearing masks during gym class or some poo poo. Not sure if the stories are true but it sounds like people wearing an N95 mask 24/7 out of fear could be a problem

His was an '82 in Terra Cotta instead of red, so it didn't have headlight washers and the rear decal was a small one on the right side that read "Celica Supra," but it's damned close. Wow. Buddy of mine had a black one back in the day and it was a sweet car. Pretty fast with a manual at that time too.

Tbh, it's one thing to go to work if you feel fine, but if you are clearly showing symptoms like a loving fever and cough you are just making the situation way worse by continuing to work, infecting your co workers and possibly shutting down the place where you work to begin with and now you have no job to go back to.

Tremek posted:Can confirm it’s not 37 needles to the gut but 6 total shots and they go in your legs. Btw though one very important note; the hospital pharmacy charged my insurance $25,000 for my ER visit to get my RIG shot last year. I think the final negotiated price was like $11k. So while COVID may impart some scale of economy and all that, we can’t rule out that anything harvested from our fellow humans may be real drat expensive... That's a great negotiated price for an ER visit, during my settlement for my accident the ER visit and ambulance cost barely budged Camper looks good man! Rhyno posted:Oh joy.

Mr-Spain posted:Insulated the garage door with two pre-made kits. Holy poo poo i should have done this when I bought the house. It's insane how much it quieted the door opening and closing. I also put a portable AC unit in there as it's drywalled and holy crap, I'll be able to do projects in the summer in my south facing garage without dying of heatstroke. It's a south facing garage and I'm in Houston so it's hot and humid as hell. I'm in Florida and lined the entire inside of my shed with Reflectix, it made a huge difference and I can actually go in there in the middle of summer without feeling like I'm walking into an oven.
