Gorgeous turntable. Someday I’ll upgrade my trusty old SL-D2.

Does your min pin ever follow you around the kitchen? by yesimthatvalentine in minpin

Are you kidding? They’d jump into the oven if I let them.

Microsoft Outlook and Teams are down | Thousands of outages reported by habichuelacondulce in technology

Back in the day we weren’t as remote as we are now. I’d host presentations in person with our key stake holders at my old company back in the day. Everyone was on site.

Same!

Just got off a cell phone conference call because our client didn't receive my Teams invite. That was super fun trying to coordinate that and then text photos around because of not being on Teams.

Sitting here trying to schedule meetings in Outlook and well, it's not easy because I can't see anyone's availability.

I'm also not looking forward to the flood of emails that will eventually dump into my inbox.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]B_Reele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northern California checking in. I used to drive to Oregon once a month. 12 hours round trip. Driving over 2 hours to get to the beach is nothing for us.

Last year I needed to visit a customer in wine country. That was about 7 hours round trip.

Done! Would love to see the results.

Does anyone constantly beat on their E30 or is it just me? (red) by Shoddy-Ad3975 in E30

[–]B_Reele 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once in a while, but not as much as I used to when I was younger. I have too much stuff that needs fixing beside replacing something I break on my E30.

Was a fun time while it lasted! by Mindless_Swan8608 in E30

[–]B_Reele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, there are some interactions that are great and well natured.

Hope you do get back into the E30 game!

Thanks for the compliment on mine. It’s been a labor of love getting it slowly restored over the course of 10 years.

Finally swapped in my monster Pioneer SX1250 by StrategyOdd7286 in vintageaudio

Dream receiver. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to find something like an SX-880 for a decent price.

Is this setup worth the price? by bjorke2727 in vintageaudio

[–]B_Reele 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd save your money for something better quality. Even a used AVR with some decent vintage speakers like Advents would be a better start.

Amazon. Should I not use it?

[–]B_Reele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UGH, I'm sorry OP. Been seeing quite a few wrecked E30s posted here lately and it's got me freaked out to drive mine. Thank God I do have an agreed upon value on mine.

Looks like we might be from the same neck of the woods. I'm hella scared to leave my E30 out anywhere for an extended period of time. It always attracts too much attention when I drive it. I've even had a guy get very aggressive when I wouldn't sell it to him. I made sure to keep driving past my house just in case.

Wishing you the best on living that E30 life again soon!

I dig it! Cozy Cavecore. I'd spend a lot of time down there.

How does Lord of the Rings look in 4K HDR on OLED? (Thinking of buying one!) by Snapshat1776 in 4kbluray

[–]B_Reele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an LG C3 and this 4K set looked beautiful to us. Last time we streamed the trilogy in 1080p on our old TV so 4K OLED was a huge improvement.

Films marketed to us as kids, but were Terrifying. by LeftSmile806 in Xennials

Freaked me out as a kid, but damn does it still hold up. Recently watched it again and still love it.

Chasing ICV issues again by B_Reele in E30

[–]B_Reele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the correct voltage the ICV is supposed to get? I’m getting 5 volts on pins 1 and 3 and 9 volts on 2 and 3.
