Absorbine_Sr Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 Sweet, I have the massive attack one. How much was the clash? Borders had a list price of 79.95 and I had a 40% off coupon so it was $47 + tax. All of the CD's have an additional inner sleeve and look like 45's including the fake grooves on the label side.
philodox Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 K240s with K271 velour pads. I have come full circle.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 It should've been free delivery.

Chekhonte Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 I bought one of these retarded things as a cheap power conditioner. I live in a house that is close to 100 years old and has real dirty power coming out of the walls. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. I think I just wanted one because it's heavy and cool.
Chekhonte Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks, I have a complex about buying things on the weird side of the audio world. My friends make fun of me for having a dedicated headphone amp. They're going to crack up if they find out what this thing is for.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 tell them to fuck off x2 I revel in my strangeness -- I had a co-worker who asked me what "that thing" was. "It's a DAC." "Why?" "To decode digital into analog." "No, yes yes, I know that, but doesn't the CD player have one already?" "Yes, of course it does." "Then why?" "Because then I can run it through this thing." "What's that?" "It's an upsampler." "What does an upsampler do?" "It changes the bitrate from 16/44.1 to 24/96." "How does it do that?" "Interpolation." "But it can't create any information that isn't already there, right?" "Yes." "So...why?" "Because I think it sounds better." etc. Fuck 'em. Pretty much. Or fuck with 'em. "I have a friend who has two." "But you can't..." "Yeah, I know, he only has one set to 'upsample'." "What's the other one for?" "To reduce jitter." "Can you actually hear jitter?" "Me? No. Him? Yes." etc.
Chekhonte Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 Of course I tell them to fuck off, but it is their job to give me shit as it is my job bust their balls as well.

This is too funny. In the operation manual for this UPS it states: Do not use this UPS for medical or life support equipment. Although Geek Squad likes sick people, it does not sell products for life support or medical use. Do not use this UPS in any way that could affect the opperation or safety of life support equipment, medical use or patient care. I can just imagine somebody going to best buy to get a battery backup for their grandmothers life support system.
boomana Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 I can just imagine somebody going to best buy to get a battery backup for their grandmothers life support system. These things happen in Florida all the time, especially around hurricane season. I've lost electricity for two weeks at a time. People do amazingly stupid things when they're not prepared (and many rarely are). They start thinking this might work...People also bring their generators and grills inside after three months of daily tv blitzes every year warning folks not to...and die.
Chekhonte Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 God, that's so messed up. When I lived in Illinois every winter there would be news stories about an entire family would be found dead after they attempted to heat their home with a charcoal grill.

Think of it as the population problem correcting itself. Darwin awards in large groups.

laxx Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 So when are you going to try quitting again? No one likes a quitter.
postjack Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 who knows. i would have made it that last time, if not a really shitty relationship, i think. don't beat yourself up. you'll quit when you're ready.
postjack Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 hopefully when i get cancer! if you're ready then, sure.
Augsburger Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Ok, I have a cool thing to show you but I can't seem to figure out how to paste in the picture. Yes I tried the "search" button and the "insert image" button but I am still :useless:
Augsburger Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks. Actually, I thought there was a secret HeadCase way. At least I will make it worth everyones time (I hope). Hint this is the only one in North America and for a short time, the world. fixed your link --admin
