Xmas went off without a hitch which is all good. Got a big voucher for the largest diy chain over here so that deck is getting built this year I promise huni... Well this decade anyway. The joy of watching your little one dance he is so excited is pretty awesome too. And my cat broke into my asshat neighbours kitchen and licked the turkey so that's a plus. To be fair she continues to feed her even after I said she was getting fat so meh. gently caress shopping in he sales today I am chillin with some mulled cider and a Shiteatin grin. Merry ducking Christmas. Been offered a kit car. Ford escort engine and running gear with a willies jeep type body...

some texas redneck posted:Holy poo poo. I had no idea how much engineering went into speakers of that size. It depends on the speaker design as to whether it's a complex build like these, or whether it's just a driver in a box *cough*car subs*cough* Folded horns are just 'regular' horns that are as the name suggests, folded. All the geometry of a horn neatly arranged in a box as compact as possible. So the photo showing the horn path there's 11ft of horn in a box 5ft long and the flare from the point where the driver installs is a steady increase to the mouth. It's very clever. The things is, making subs in this manner is labour intensive hence store bought ones cost $$$$, it makes far more sense for a manufacturer to sell simple boxes with massive excursion drivers which need huge amps to feed them. Doubly so if they sell the amps to go with the subs. Horns are really sensitive designs so you really don't need a lot of power to make them scream, I still find it amusing that I have friends with cars that have more amplifiers than I have in the rack for a PA kit running 8x12" drivers and arrays totalling 48 tweeters...

I'm a Coventry local so if you're nearby we can do it whenever within reason. I'll take it home with me. I don't have PMs so crisp_rapper at hotmail.com and we can arrange something. Also if you're getting a CNC router at some point if you can make sure it'll take 8'x4' plywood sheets keep me in mind because we can make some real cool speaker poo poo without much effort.

You know a cat has gotten comfortable when he plops down in the middle of the living room, just a few feet from the dog, and decides it's time to clean off any clingers.Adiabatic posted:December 26th Work Krew Represent 4pm-close.. and despite benadryl and beer, my body decided 3 hours of sleep was enough.  About to try and get another couple more hours of sleep. I forgot all about the whole "allergic to cats" bit, and the dude likes to cuddle next to my head or against my shoulder; I need to stock up on generic Claritin after work.88h88 posted:I still find it amusing that I have friends with cars that have more amplifiers than I have in the rack for a PA kit running 8x12" drivers and arrays totalling 48 tweeters... I only have one amp, but it's "1100 watts" *coughbullshitcough*. Probably closer to about 200-300 RMS, I think the 1100 is probably at 95% THD and only when hit by lightning. It's for a single car sub.

He was driving a mint 1989 300SL the last time I saw him. I'm excited to see what he'll be driving this week, since he has access to our company's fleet of vintage cars.

Rhyno posted:Holy gently caress do I hate Kevin Smith. I fully expect Tusk to be a hot steaming pile of cinematic garbage, but both of us are big fans of the older Kevin Smith movies so I feel obligated to watch. I've said this before, but Red State would have been the scariest movie I've ever seen if the ending didn't turn out to have that bullshit Scooby Doo plot twist that the neighborhood kids were loving with them and it were actually the apocalypse beginning. Eternal damnation isn't a theme that I have seen explored much in horror movies.

Yay, I finally get to join the  gang!Wednesday morning on the way to work my car developed a rather fast coolant leak (my fault for being lazy and not replacing the goddamn cooling system earlier, I've had all the parts for a year and a half now), which torpedoed our plans to go down to visit my parents on xmas eve and drive back up xmas night (we could only stay one night with my parents because my dickhead boss wouldn't let me get the day after xmas off because we already had 4 people off, even though it's been super slow and we could easily have let twice as many people have today off). So I got to spend a chunk of xmas eve walking to the store with my wife in the pouring rain to buy groceries so we could eat on xmas since we hadn't planned on eating at home when we bought groceries last weekend. Then yesterday while my wife cooked in the kitchen, I got to spend a while out in the garage swapping out all the bits of my cooling system (water pump, all the hoses and sensors, t-stat, expansion tank, etc). Wake up this morning to a couple texts from my step-dad saying my mom is in the hospital with kidney stones. Go to work, and sure enough, it's slow as poo poo with nothing to do, then at lunchtime my boss tells me he's letting me go because it's been so slow and they have too many people. And I get a call from my step-dad saying my mom's going to have to get surgery and stay at the hospital overnight as one of her stones is too big to pass. Oh and the state tax dept finally got back to my wife re: her audit and said she owes them $314 for her 2011 taxes because she claimed taxes paid in another state (it was the year she moved here from NY, and her taxes were prepared by H&R Block, so she didn't do any of the paperwork on those taxes and it's their fuckup, but they won't reimburse her for the error because it's more than a year ago.) Yay. p.s. p.p.s. also after I left work I stopped by my wife's work to let her know I'd been let go from my job and when I tried to leave the battery was dead because I'd drained it too low the night before while bleeding the coolant and hadn't driven far enough to top the charge up, so I needed a jump to get home.

As in done working there (was a job through a temp agency, potentially leading to a permanent hire, but things slowed down a lot the past couple weeks so bye bye.) Not really terribly sad to leave, was kinda a lovely place to work and everyone there was really dull to talk to. I miss the people at the place I worked before this.
