some texas redneck posted:The manufacturers of the players assume they'll be used with earbuds (which barely use/handle any power at all; we're talking milliwatts) instead of traditional headphones (which have larger speakers, and thus, need more power); they put out power in the milliwatt/millivolt range these days. For comparison, my car stereo puts out 4 volts on the RCA outputs (no idea on wattage, I'd assume it's miniscule, but still) - I bet if I wired a set of modern earbuds up to the RCA outputs, a lot of magic smoke would escape in a hurry. Thank you for this. For the longest time I thought my mp3 players were just poo poo, since I'd always use them with my 15-year-old headphones. I even returned some because they were so quiet. Then I tried them with earbuds, and HOLY poo poo I CAN SUDDENLY ROCK OUT AGAIN! And I never knew why until your post.

Yeah it was -8°F here this morning and about -28°F with the wind chill. It hurt to breathe  The worst part is that it's too cold for salt to melt ice on the roads, so even though it barely snowed here last night, all the roads were still pretty slick. Not too bad though, compared to last year.

Cage posted:Advance auto has a 35% off coupon right now and they'll install it for free. Not a bad deal since you said its 4 degrees wherever you are. Do they install it if it isn't in the engine bay, like in the trunk on my 5-series, or under the rear seat like in my SIL's Bonneville? What about the infamous Dodge Stratus, where you have to remove the wheel and wheel liner to replace the battery?

I have really bad acid reflux and it's been rearing its ugly head lately. I used to take prevacid (prescription) but my doctor changed me to something else that was helping better but lately doesn't seem to be. The worst thing is it feels like heart attack symptoms (shortness of breath and chest pains) and I've been to the doctor many times just in case, and it's always digestive in nature. And I know that's what this is because there's a heartburn-like sensation with it sometimes. I tried going to bed last night at 10:15 but after midnight I gave up, had a couple of shots of rum and was out in five minutes.  Does that make me an alcoholic, if I need booze to go to sleep?

some texas redneck posted:Mom did a chapter 7 last year; it was finalized in early December. My financial dirty laundry is fairly public, and I still wonder if it would have been better to file for bankruptcy back in '08 or '09 rather than take five years and pay off $43k worth of debt. I mean, that's $43k I could have held on to, right? I have a house now, but perhaps I could have still gotten a house six years after declaring. I don't know. It's all a moot point anyway.

cursedshitbox posted:Especially when you can go somewhere else and get it for free. Add profit oriented education in with a hatred for math/science and you get land of the idiots. I know several people that adamantly refuse to have children because of stuff like this. I know several others that are scared shitless about when school time comes and generally the kind of world their children are going to inherit. They're thinking about homeschooling but that doesn't come without a whole mess of disadvantages by itself. Our country is terrible and we should feel terrible

So I ended up at Medpoint on Saturday. My chest hurt and I was having shortness of breath. I've had these symptoms before, and it's always gastric in nature - I have gastro reflux disease or whatever it's called. The doctor did an EKG and it came back abnormal: "probably left ventricular hypertrophy." Though they didn't seem worried about that (apparently it isn't a big deal) and my chest X-ray came back normal. He put me on prednisone (a steroid) and something to help me sleep at night (I've been, uh, taking a couple of shots of rum before I go to bed to help me go to sleep). Sunday I felt miserable - intense chills and fatigue plus the shortness of breath and chest pain. And it occurred to me, I'm probably getting the goddamn flu. No fever or headache though. And no vomiting or diarrhea. The occasional heartburn though. I have an appointment with my regular doctor tomorrow morning. I went in to work today, probably shouldn't have, but I'm feeling alright enough to work today. My body is a loving piece of poo poo and probably the one thing I don't want to die of is a bad heart

Holy poo poo. I've made over twenty thousand posts on these forums in the past 14 years. While I can never run for president because of that, I'm pretty sure that's a notable achievement.

The house about three houses down from my sister in law burned down last night. Apparently somebody threw a molotov cocktail through the front window. That's pretty hosed up.

kastein posted:I dunno, there are some people I'd love to do that to. They richly deserve it... but I don't do poo poo like that, so I just hope one of the people they hosed over will do it to them and not get caught. Four people were injured, one critically. I'm thinking it was random. It's at the corner of my sister-in-law's street and a pretty major street that, further down, does through a fairly unsavory part of town (read: bullet holes in the siding of most houses).

[quote="HotCanadianChick" post="440576177"] I bet you think it's ok to say someone 'gypped' or 'jewed' you out of something. I never realized 'gypped' was a slur. Is it referencing gypsies?

I think people just want to be self-righteous in other people's faces and then feel good about claiming the moral high ground in whatever argument they were having. I also have this theory that anybody claiming anybody else has a kind of xxxx-privilege as their argument is merely straw-manning. While I accept that there are such things as 'white privilege,' 'male privilege' and 'hetero privilege,' every time I've seen it actually used has been accusing somebody else of it and entirely dismissing their argument because of it.

MrChips posted:Instead of wasting your money on that slow, underpowered piece of poo poo (I mean it doesn't even have four hundred horsepower), go build a shitton more vans and buy a Hellcat. I love that the Hellcat exists, but I enjoy living so I think I wouldn't want to buy one of those. I think I just might want to give Chrysler a ton of money as a thank you for making that, actually. Maybe that's my secret desire.

QuiteEasilyDone posted:Far as I understand it GG had an involuntary AV change, commented on it, someone else changed it to a picture of a WRX, she mentioned her questionable legal problems with ownership due to familial troubles, Internet Tough guys happened and well then it got shut down. It was a derail into a legitimate legal issue, and stupid goods were suggesting illegal things and being all sorts of faux-sexist about it. I would have expected nothing else out of something awful dot com, I suppose. I liked that thread, too. :/

Dude here at work, in his forties, had a loving terrible cough all day yesterday. He comes in this morning and immediately has a major stroke. I was late this morning because my kids had a two-hour delay at school, and was wondering why it was so quiet in here. Now I know.

Moments like those are why I watch Pawn Stars. I mean it's all staged of course, but it's still fun to watch people's hopes and dreams whither and die at the whim of some fat kid named Chum.
