The MS Paint of a jail on the rap sheet page should be changed to any of OP's house photos.

My ex and her bff are renting a condo and there's a socket with what looks like thick gauge speaker wire coming out of the wall. I wish I had a picture of it. It's right next to a closet so they just looped it up and stashed it in there, any idea what it might be?

Why did they put it in the bedroom closet though?! Why? I'm scared to stack any clothes, towels, or objects near it.

Also, these curtains I cleaned up. They're nice curtains and block light but they're just so....

look at them.



They were so hard to clean. :mad:

You can't confirm a Scott Adams sighting until you see a sock puppet account arguing that you can't criticize Adams because he's a card-carrying genius.

unbalanced cables run single ended input (ie one signal + shield/ground)

balanced cables run differential pairs (ie 2 signals conductors that consist of a signal, and its inverted counterpart + shield/ground)

what this person said

if you're doing a long run it's worth the mild inconvenience of using balanced cable. i think the longest i ever ran a 100mV peak-peak mic signal was 650 feet over balanced cable. sounded fine. the video did not make it.

what video you can see is kind of dependent on the resolution and transmission medium

albeit copper and 650 ft probably not going to happen at all for video

if you're running it that long and don't mind digitally sampling it, get a media converter, run it over fiber and then convert it back to copper

yeah i wasn't in charge of the video, i was just watching it happen, dude ran composite video 600-ish feet. the image made it, the color didn't, which seemed kinda cool actually.

Okay granted if they got rid of the built-in piss-sponges (and voyeur chair) in the first one and added some cupboard space it would be fine, and the second one isn't to my taste at all which is why the additional cleaning required wouldn't be worth it to me, but if you swapped out my bog-standard function-before-form tile-n-porcelain bathroom with that third one I'd demand you switch it back.

I almost think that's worse. You still won't be able to clean it and now you can see exactly how much you failed to clean.

Of course, all of this is moot if OP's mold experiment proves that germ theory is a myth.

Convert to HD SDI and run that sucker through a signal amp and 700' of long-haul 3g coax.

Come on, it's only a $1200 cable. It's cheaper than Monster HDMI!

I'm getting caught up on the thread so I just want to double up on how rad this stove/oven is.

The pull-out coils are absurdly inconvenient, but it's still rad.

Is that carpet? I thought it was gravel.

Anyway, I think that sink might be a bidet? It seems to be the same height as a toilet. Though that doesn't make much sense either, the faucet isn't quite right and who builds a separate bidet in 2017 instead of one of those fancy all-in-one deals? Maybe it is a foot washing sink?

The clear glass of the shower stall appointed him a luxurious view of the city skyline, obscured only by the dick- and rear end-prints he left on the glass each morning, perfect as the first frost and distinctly Dominic.

It's definitely a bidet.

I'd imagine that having it separate reduces maintenance costs. Given how often guests break everything else in a hotel, it's a very valid consideration.
