Dreadhead Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I hope both of you enjoy your purchases
Aura Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Yup 'grats all around. I bought 4 textbooks. Fuck I hate fucking textbooks and the overpriced bookstore that rapes you in the ass when you're so desperate to get them that you have no other choice.
cetoole Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I bought pretty much all of my textbooks used online.
Hopstretch Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I bought the exam questions straight from the teaching assistants and spent the rest of the textbook budget on drugs. My impression is college was more fun back in the 80s. Edited January 22, 2010 by Hopstretch

manaox2 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 SR-007 Mk I and SRM-007t. Thought they might be mk I. Congrats!
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Even back in the 80's, we had that problem (albeit probably to a lesser extent, although we did have the one famous example of having to buy the book directly from the professor because it hadn't even been published yet -- that sucked). Bought used when I could. I'd probably look at electronic copies, now (Kindle).Congrats Todd! Typo...noticed it...thought it was funny, so I left it...Dusty bought some of those drugs Stretch mentioned.Not unless they have drugs that actually give you dislexia.
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 A Mullard 12AU7 for the EF5. But so far I prefer the RCA clear top it came with.
mypasswordis Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 A decent amount of people seem to prefer the cleartop. I've got 20 (?) 12AU7/As laying around and have no idea about tubes so don't know which ones are the same internally. Oh, and I have no amps to use them on. Just counted. 21.
n3rdling Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Rega RB300. I finally have all the pieces I need to listen to vinyl, I just need to wire the arm.

blubliss Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Another audiophile myth conquered: Must have expensive IC Bought some Vovox cables (Link protect S) from Lava Cable and the Synergisitc Research Apex ICs (10x the cost, 20x if your looking at retail) are up for sale 2 days later. I think the Lava Cable guy buys bulk and just terminates the Vovox. Vovox is a Swiss company that sells both Pro and HiFi cables. The HiFi ones are quite expensive, probably for the discerning audiophile who must spend more money . Check out their website. Pretty lame that they charge for matched cables . I learned of the cables at Computer Audiophile, someone was talking about them in the forums. I like them a lot. I may try their direct S cables too which have less shielding I think?? Lava Cable - Vovox
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Cadbury Cream Eggs I guess that's kind of cheating, since I will probably eat both of them before Sunday. Oh well...I only grant myself two per season, and the season has a-started.
episiarch Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Don'cha mean Kraft Cream Eggs as of a few days ago? Gad, and Cadbury owned Green & Black's. Now my house chocolate comes from the Cheez Whiz people.
justin Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 didn't really buy it, but I do pay rent, and my heating broke a few weeks ago. New system installed is "Mr. Slim" Mitsubishi Electric - Mr. Slim Split-ductless
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Don'cha mean Kraft Cream Eggs as of a few days ago?I'll have to pull out the packaging, but I believe it still says "Cadbury", so it might be Kraft Cadbury Cream Eggs.
grawk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 they're better now that they're not that awful english craftsmanship
Duggeh Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 American market Creme Eggs have always been made in America, probably under contract and adapted to use your style of chocolate (plasticy and granular). Kraft are not a stupid company (or they wouldn't have been trying to get Cadbury in the first place) so I doubt that the recipies will change over here. There has been a huge amount of public anger and ill-will over the takeover. People feel like they're having their childhoods sold to soulless corporate America. If Gordon Brown had decided to buy Cadbury the way he bought out the banks he might even have got enough of a popular vote gain on the patriotic card to stand a decent chance in the election.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 You've never eaten one of those hollow Easter bunny or Santa Claus hollow chocolate figurines, have you?People feel like they're having their childhoods sold to soulless corporate America. Well then they shouldn't have lost the war.
Duggeh Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 as a child. i doubt it's a specifically american style of chocolate. Indeed. Christmas Tree / Advent Calander / Tin Foil Santa chocolate is foul in all parts of the world. Except maybe Belgium. Which war? We've lost a great many. Probably won more though, on points.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I was talking about the one where if it had gone the other way, then we would have felt like we were selling our souls to across the pond.[/maintains posturing as typical Merkin lumping all those countries together]
