Sigh. My buddy recently went completely off the deep end and is now posting a bunch of #redpill fake anon bullshit. Most recently was support for Trump stripping the shield laws of social media platforms of his choosing. I was fine putting up with the Hydrogen water bullshit, and the EMF/anti 5g tinfoil hat bullshit, but this is too much. Just in case anyone is solely focused on how this affects social media platforms, please remember that the whole "corporations have a right to free speech" thing also greatly affects FEC/campaign financing laws. So it's not such a stretch to see Trump use it to his advantage next election beyond Twitter messaging and into punishing opposing political donors.

At some point you have to draw the line. I just decided tonight that I'm not talking to one of my best friends until he gets his poo poo together and stops posting this batshit crazy stuff about denying corona virus, and supporting Trump and taking the #redpill and whatever the gently caress he thinks Qanon is. Him posting anti-BLM poo poo was the absolute last straw. GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Jun 3, 2020 |

slidebite posted:So, folks, what's the opinion for using gasket sealant when doing a waterpump/thermostat? I've always used RTV of some sort, but recently been reading people saying not to and just use the gaskets themselves and call it a day. That's genuinely never crossed my mind until now. If you want to spend the effort to get your mating surfaces perfect then you can use 1000 or 1500 grit wrapped tightly around a square steel bar to clean it and level it out. Then you can use just the gaskets and a little bel-ray waterproof grease. I've never had a problem and I've done a handfull of cars/trucks and at least a hundred motorcycles (valve covers AND water pumps) and never had a problem.

I particularly love complaining to a company about a specific issue and them release a firmware upgrade to solve that issue which ends up breaking a dozen other things. Luckily Extron are pretty quick to reply to problems though they should be considering how much money we give them.  AV buddy?Not specifically in my job title but most all decisions get my weigh in. Most poo poo is stupidly overpriced yeah. I've got to say though, QSC has been REALLY good with their amps. I've got a SPA2-60 on my desk right now powering a couple lovely Realistic Minimus 7's (Actually Optimus Pro7's with a rear port) that I modded with a custom crossover. It's a bit of a waste on those crappy speakers but I couldn't rightfully put anything larger on my work desk without getting a brow raise from the boss. I just gave a whole set of 6 in ceiling speakers and Extron XPA amps to a coworker because I don't have any plans to install any of that poo poo in my house. I already have more than enough equipment to put a proper good stereo in every room including the bathrooms.

I repaired an iron. This will be the second Rowenta I've fixed. First one was a goodwill find. This one was particularly scary because the power cable didn't poo poo the bed like they normally do, but instead it developed a leak somehow and the entire loving thing filled with water. Like all the parts that contain AC voltage got soaked. Really surprised the wife didn't electrocute herself. Anywho I'm buying a new iron anyway because this one is like 10 years old so if anyone sees a rowenta in a DC area goodwill then maybe think twice.

I mean those that "peaked" in highschool likely didn't have any sort of real responsibility and just got to gently caress around all the time. Looking back at my dad's homework binder it appears the workload was pretty light too. The curriculum he was taught didn't fill a 3 ring over the course of 4 years so lol. Also most of that poo poo I learned in middle school. 4 years of AP classes in highschool was definitely harder than my college courses and I graduated with two different majors while working multiple jobs and being in a band.

Safety Dance posted:I guess you can't bump start a Goldwing easily? I've only ridden one once. I think I'd rather get a tow than push one 3.5 miles. Problem with the starter ballast is that if it blows, the bike won't run even if it's bump started. It cuts power to everything while the starter motor is running so as not to drain the battery. And it is NOT easily accessible. Also I didn't know that at the time so it was either bail on my bike on a 55mph road with no shoulder, or push it home.

Your receiver has only 2 plugs yeah? Is the hum coming through the speakers or from the unit itself? If it's the former then you're in for a world of hurt chasing ground loops.

Could be that's the default mode if your onkyo can't detect an input source? If it picks up a source but doesn't detect audio then it mutes everything? idk. Seems a bit of a reach for something so old and ...onkyo. I wonder what would happen if you grounded the chassis separately.

STR posted:Kinda wondering about the ground part myself, even though there's no grounding screw on it. The hum coming from RCA is fairly common when you have the amp and source not grounded. It just happens. Could be RF noise entering the single ended connection by the RCA wires acting as antennas, or just your source finding a ground through the RCA for whatever reason (usually poor chassis ground or circuit isolation on source). Ideally, the amp should not be grounded (being class 2 and all) to an electrical ground because that could be another source of interference.

STR posted:Remember it was humming with nothing but speakers and power hooked up too, even when set to a radio input with no antenna connected. The only way to get rid of the hum is to hook up a TV over HDMI. It seems like it's somehow grounding to the TV, despite the TV not being grounded. Yeah that sounds about right. Signal ground and electrical ground shouldn't cross imo because the electrical ground can actually introduce noise rather than remove it. Lol wait what if you plug the HDMI from one port into another on the Onkyo? Or touch the outside of the connector to a bare chassis screw?
