cetoole Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Listened to some Orthodynamics and some Staxes. Pretty much all day. This. Not good for my wallet. Since the ECD-2 wasn't literally represented, but rather "imaginatively", I'm going to have to end up getting both and selling the one I like less. Freakin' awesome dynamics. And the SRX Mk 3 ( -- remind me, please) -- was pretty awesome. Yup, the HE-5 was sweet, and the LCD1 good enough that I am really dying to hear the LCD2. You got it, the SR-X mk3 was the little 30 year old supraaural stat.
swt61 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 but if it's too messy you have to rent a carpet cleaner, and that's just a pain in the ass. But if you're doing it right, good sex should be a pain in the ass.
The Monkey Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Saw this little number enter the harbor and steam up the river today. USS New York being commissioned next Saturday. Reminds me to give thanks to our armed forces.
grawk Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Wow, that just screams "don't fuck with me"
n_maher Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I'd like to see one of the new LCS ships up close, provided it wasn't after me.
The Monkey Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I'm going to the commissiong so I'll try to get some cool pics. But let's just say that even from a small distance, the thing clearly is capable of ruining someone's day.
Dreadhead Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I'm 99% that my company had something to do with the contract design on that one. USS New York (LPD-21) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anyway, Yesterday I rode 66km in the pissing rain. 132km for the weekend.
The Monkey Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 well, only if you have a beach, really. it's a troop transport ship. Fair enough. But I wouldn't want to be on that beach so much.
mypasswordis Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 This. x2... yesterday. Yup, the HE-5 was sweet, and the LCD1 good enough that I am really dying to hear the LCD2. You got it, the SR-X mk3 was the little 30 year old supraaural stat. This. You know, I'm starting to think those screws on the sides really do hold the drivers in as well as attach the headband to the frame, kind of like the SR-X. I don't think they'd be daft enough to make an un-openable headphone and then have a 3 or whatever year warranty on it.
Dreadhead Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Listened to some Orthodynamics and some Staxes. Pretty much all day. Wha? Where?
swt61 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I'd be the envy of the Bering Sea with that!
mypasswordis Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Wha? Where? Oops, did we forget to invite you?
Dusty Chalk Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 For the record, we "forgot" to invite pretty much everyone. I sort of "invited myself" publicly (and it evolved from there), so if anyone else was interested, they could have expressed an interest publicly as well.
grawk Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 I'm sitting on my porch, drinking a dead reckoning and smoking a cigar
aardvark baguette Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 got Verizon fios net/cable/phone installed. Very pleased to see they ran nice new cat5 in my room for me.
cetoole Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Nice! Verizon didnt run any cat5 here, just fiber to the box on the outside of the house, then comes in on a coax cable about 6' long to the modem. Modem has built in 802.11g though, which is nice.
tyrion Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 I'm sitting on my porch, drinking a dead reckoning and smoking a cigar I'm jealous. One of these days I'm going to make to your area and smoke a cigar and drink a beer with you on your porch.
tyrion Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 "...while working". Another reason to be jealous.
The Monkey Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Realized that a department that I work with frequently is perilously close to getting the boot. Then reviewed their latest work product, and saw little hope for them. In-house lawyer = turd polisher. Ran 2 miles though and I'm getting close to pretty regular 10 min miles over 2 miles. That's a real improvement for me. Need to get back to the 5k distance though. Also realized just how many people don't understand track changes.
The Monkey Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Nice!

It would be moar better if they put it in the basement so they could run the cat 5. I've been meaning to switch mine over but I'm lazy. And my Leviton box was not exactly done in the most professional manner.
Dusty Chalk Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Ran 2 miles though and I'm getting close to pretty regular 10 min miles over 2 miles.!!! That's really great.
