    Mattresses

    Going to buy a Casper mattress for the guest room at my parents' house and need to order it today. Anyone have complaints about it yet? Can someone send me their $50 off code? I believe you will also get $50 for referring a friend.
  3. Went to a newish Spanish restaurant tonight. The rabbit was very good but the duck was amazing! I'm definitely going back. http://bcnhouston.com/dinner/
  4. Looks fantastic.
  5. Feeling like something poppy. Foster the People - Torches
  6. That is what I usually get.

  8. Very cool. I really like the powder coated case.
  9. True, but it does look a bit ugly with the cloth over it. I may do it unless someone tells me that no amount of dust that can accumulate in a couple of year can do harm. Heat from being on the second shelf is probably worse.

  12. if someone like Justin or Birgir or Mark or Nate someone else that knows about electronics says that there is no way that dust or white powder in the amp can cause damage, I'd be thrilled to put it on the top shelf with no cover and listen to the beautiful beautiful music. Dusty: I believe you have never been to Houston or anywhere on the gulf coast of Texas in the summer. It is definitely more humid here than DC or Virginia! While West Texas is very dry, our weather or more similar to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. All of the humidity comes from the warm Gulf waters. https://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/US/most-humid-cities.php
  13. Didn't you say you had an Emotiva amp that caused hearing loss?
  14. Haha, I meant causing a problem with the amp that would cause very loud noises to play through the headphones, damaging my hearing.
  15. I didn't use a plastic cover in my old place and wouldn't usually use one but there is some serious white powder/dust that accumulates in this place (most likely due to the concrete ceilings). I guess I could just try to blow out the amp every once in a while. I'm not sure how much harm dust/powder can cause (a short or just more heat)? Is there anything that it could do to cause a problem where I hurt my hearing long term?
  16. Why forget the plastic cover? Also, do you mean it is *in* your house which has AC. I try to keep the relative humidity below 50% but it is tough at certain times of the year, especially when I go out of town. I think my old house definitely used to get in the mid-65% sometimes.
  17. It was one of the best times of my life! Good luck Jacob.
  18. Yes, this might be the easiest solution. I am concerned about there being too much humidity in the BHSE with a plastic cover over it (this is Houston not California) because of the lack of air flow. For those that have plastic dust covers on their turntables and live in a humidish environment, is this a problem? I am guessing that humidity is worse than dust for electronics!
  19. I'll have to try those veggie burgers. I've had some decent black bean burgers but never one that was supposed to taste like a hamburger and did. At various times I've tried to be vegetarian but I've also felt a bit low energy. I feel best with a small amount of meat in my diet.
  20. The people at Sanus said they are different and wouldn't work.
  21. The legs I have on my shelf are 9" tall (I have the Sanus AFAB). Sanus sells these 12" legs for the Euro Series. I wonder if they will work with my rack. They looks similar to the ones I have except they are black and not shiny. http://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/racks/efp12/
  22. I don't think you understand that I am not going to be convinced that all the grease is going to be completely cleaned out of the rods when it is finished. I'll always think of it as dirty. That is just how I am. I know some people don't care but I do. If I would have known, I would haven never ordered it. I also don't have time right now to build it and spend hours cleaning up the giant mess. Jeff's method is looking good right now.
  23. How do you get all the grease off everything once it's built? You also can get grease of of rugs/carpet.
  24. I'm not worried about it getting on my hands Graim. I don't want it to get all over my carpet and clothing when putting it together. Also, it's going to be very hard to get all the grease cleaned out of the threaded rod so I'll continue to get to potentially get grease on my clothing.
