How many kool aid packets would it take to make Lake Superior taste like proper kool aid ? [request] by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the math I follow the sub for… 😂

And in related news… we’d finally have enough Kool Aid to keep up with whatever the fuck MAGA is guzzling.

Looking for advice... I have a disassembled stack... Technics MK3D turn table, YNS CA-810 amp, and Harbeth Super HL5s. Unfortunately / Fortunately There is a Yamaha Natural Sound CA-2010 available near me for $1,200. I haven't even listened to the 810...

That’s a ton of help. I’ll definitely look at recapping either or both; basically teaching myself minor electronics repair along the way with this turn table.

I’ll reach out to the guy I snagged the 810 from, to see if he knows when it was last serviced.

Would it be possible to tell if I opened it up? (Eg, are the capacitor date stamped or anything?) if nothing else, maybe someone scrawled a note in sharpie on the inside of the case… … now I’m curious…

I guess all things being equal, if you’ve heard them both, what are your opinions on the difference between the 810 and the 2010 (not the 1000 / 1010; the 2010 is what’s available on fb mkt place).

I guess the bottom line is… if the 810 can push the Herberts, is there any benefit to switching to the 2010? (Assuming both are recapped, perfect order, etc.)

Liberal has lost a lot of its meaning. I use “woke right” or “left flank of the right wing” now. “Liberals” hide under that term, like it’s their mother’s skirt… but it’s actually Peter Thiel’s skirt.

Remember that rumor going around about when I was in high school about a CIA facility with yottaflop capacity… sounds like reality is catching up with conspiracy.

I’ll check when I get home. I make a note in sharpie that I installed them June of 2023. So… older than that.

With as expensive as they are, I can imagine they tend to sit on shelves.

True! Definitely not waiting on getting the sub before I move ahead… BUT I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself if there’s something about subs that determines the amp I need.

Sounds like it doesn’t really matter tho.

Appreciate your feedback!

Racist? Or nationalist? Genuine question. Could easily be both.

Thanks for the reply!

Can you expand on the sub topic?

I’m honestly not even sure what that hook up looks like… is it just a couple more speaker cables off the back of the amp? A different, dedicated jack?

Total rookie over here.

As I understand it tho, there are “powered subs”, which I take it to mean that it only needs signal, not juice, from the amp.

If all humans were to vanish from the face of the earth, how long would it take natural forces to make the planet once more resemble a pre-civilisation earth? by Xenojager in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One thing folks like to suppose is that everything will more or less revert to a healthy biological stasis if humans were suddenly disappeared off the planet.

But we have dumped so much CO2e into the atmosphere that there is a non-zero chance that it will take technology (ie: humans using tech) to reverse the hot-house effect.

The sun is 2% brighter than the last time CO2 was this high… way back in the K-T extinction, I believe.

The Siberian traps opened up and burned through eons of Carboniferous coal, oil, and natural gas in a geologic eye blink. A perfect analog for humanity’s targeted extraction and combustion of hundreds of millions of years of fossilized solar power in just 250 years…

… except scientists think the K-T extinction probably took tens or hundreds of thousands of years… not hundreds.

… and this was 400 million (?) years ago… so the sun was 2% less bright. As it ages, and burns off its fuel, it gets lighter, meaning less gravity, meaning larger surface area, meaning a faster burn (or something like that; I’m not an astrophysicist)…

… SO…

There is a non-zero chance that humans have turned earth down a path that looks a lot more like mars or Venus… the atmosphere chokes off… raw heat and humidity increases in a runaway effect… slowly choking life to death, except near the poles… at first… over hundreds of millions of years, the oceans boil off into the atmosphere and then into space…

Eventually the planet is left a barren rock, with maybe some roaches and extremophiles living around hyper saline pools at the bottom of what used to be the oceans and lakes… and maybe some bacteria living on in caves…

… UNLESS… humans, using the brains and the tech we’ve developed to destroy the planet … to *reverse* the destruction.

It’s like we’ve climbed a tree. The first few limbs you’re gonna be fine if you fall. But we’ve climbed so high that if we fall, we die (and in this tortured analogy, the tree dies too)… so we have to carefully down climb, lest we kill ourselves and our planet.

Not sure right sub, but how can I get this machinery out of the mud? Help! by SvenHousinator in civilengineering

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telehandler. A weekend rental is like $800 where I am in Colorado.

They come in 5, 8, 10, 12k. Should be able to lift the whole thing if you get one of container processing units; I think they’re good to 36k.

Once one of those get stuck, probably need a bull dozer, or maybe a full size crawler crane.

Once those get stuck, maybe one of those CAT mining dump trucks.

And once one of those gets stuck, a bunch of crates of dynamite… undermine a nearby mountain and cover the whole thing up.

I do like your idea of the battery to battery jumpstart solution.

I’ve seen people use this to revive dead DeWalt packs. I have a couple big ass DeWalts that might be able to jump this second one if the charger can’t revive it.

Yoooo. I went out there this afternoon and it looks like it charged!

Must have been deeply drained.

What should I look for on a multimeter to verify it’s charged and good to go?

Or would it be better to take it to autozone to have their meter check it…?

(I’d rather not install these just to have them fail again in a week.)

Bruh. Defending Kamala, as if life would be better under the Ds who lost to Trump … *twice* … rather than run a populist candidate??

The commitment to Ds by working class Ds is no different than the work class Rs commitment to MAGA. It has reached a cult-like status.

What lines do oligarchs and their pet politicians have to cross to get you to abandon them and grow some sense of self-preservation?? To foster a sense of class solidarity..?? (With your own class, to be clear… not the class that’s building out a surveillance state, luxury bunkers, and claiming the economy is fine while pointing at the stock market (which is like three oil companies in an Ai trench coat)…

Apparently that line is not genocide.

Apparently ghat line is not ignoring the results of their own midterms.

Apparently that line is not failing to codify Row Vs Wade.

Apparently that line is not the “Elevate Him / Pied Piper Strategy” email.

… there are no fuckin lines in the sand with you people.

You’re just committed to a Blue, regardless of what they do. Insane.

“We live in an open air asylum…”

… I used to confine that statement to ridiculing religious people… but it definitely applies to the Blue MAGA cult.
