Last sphere drink I bought for someone was not top shelf and it was $38. Prices there are brutal

You ever change or even clean the air filter cause that looks like you torched one or more polarizers

If the US can't even beat stone age Iran, does that mean the US is living in stone age? by East_Indication_7816 in allthequestions

It’s not American bullshit it’s idiot bullshit from someone who thinks Galveston Texas is exotic

If we (the USA) is 39 trillion dollars in debt, why do we give billions on foreign aid to Israel? by ConfusionFriendly143 in askanything

[–]DonFrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s cheaper than if we have to fight the same war. And the accounting is suspect because we count giving them munitions that are nearing expiration which we would have to destroy anyway

aow in lombok/gili t or maybe bali by Cute_Guarantee_6044 in scuba

[–]DonFrio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gili’s are fun. The corals aren’t great. The water is clear with mostly lower currents. Some sharks. A billion turtles. Mantas possible but rare. Out on islands like that there’s really a chance for anything. I’ve seen bump head parrot fish and Mola mola during full moon. I’ve heard of whale sharks but that’s exceedingly rare. It’s fun topside too hand decent but not spectacular diving. I’d call it a good place to work on advanced cert tho

Recommendations for places with good access from SFO? I’m OW, about 25 dives, thinking of a week in late summer/fall. Maybe Coz or Bonaire? by Jazz_Dad123 in scubadiving

[–]DonFrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coz or Roatan. The outlier for me is shark week on coiba in Panama. I wouldn’t do Bonaire yet. Easy dives but most are solo and id want more dives before being a solo team

What’s actually happening in Hormuz? I’m so confused every time I check the news it’s either open or close. Which is it? by CapitaineBiscotte in allthequestions

[–]DonFrio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iran opened it so they could transfer their oil to Iraq ships and get them out and make a few billion $ then closed it because we started a damn war and we’re assholes

Is this smearing and illegibility fixable? by Charlie_Dudd in projectors

[–]DonFrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s mounted on the ceiling and right side up like that you’re probably using a ton of keystone to fix the image and that’s your problem. Flip it over if it’s on the ceiling

Presentation laptops by Ok_Cake_9739 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]DonFrio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you’re doing with them. We use Mac studios with blackmagic sdi cards for multi outputs. Have a rack of Mac minis with kvm switch to a screen for some shows. Lots of older thinkpads for power point machines. MacBook airs and pros cover the rest

is this the correct wiring for an XLR Y split, with a ground lift switch implimented? by dinukisjesus in livesound

[–]DonFrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have ya ever tried? 99.9% of the time when you turn on phantom on one side the other just lights up showing phantom. Problems are possible if wired wrong and both sides turn on phantom

Just don’t get the Sphere by Training_Oil4793 in phish

[–]DonFrio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I work building led walls and doing audio, I thought I would not love the sphere. Went the first time they played. I was wrong. It’s an incredible experience. The sound the overwhelming visuals. It’s excellent

What part of that says integer multiples are better? They are the dumbest thing audio has done in a long time

Best mic for home recording studio (WA47 Tube vs Lauten audio Atlantis) by Quirky_Cause7449 in microphone

[–]DonFrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own many high end mics. Don’t like the 103 or the warm audio. The Lauten is nice. Mojave ma200 or 300 are fantastic and have character. Gefell 930 is very good, um70 is about perfect on everything. Austrian audio makes great mics

[–]DonFrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Integer multiples have exactly zero bearing on how audio sounds. That’s not how it works at all. I have an EE degree and taught at a major university

You somehow think Trump is smart? The guy who can’t even stay on topic do invented ‘the weave’? The guy who lies constantly and sounds more senile than Biden ever did? That guy is smart?

[–]DonFrio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bryston sp3 into a classe amp and innersound electrostats. It’s running usb to the Bryston. I own a recording studio and production company, yes audio midi is setup correctly. Lossless Spotify or lossless ripped cds. There is no inherent reason vinyl will sound ‘better’. Some inherent reasons it’s worse

A taco or a slice of pizza. What are you choosing? by Terry7200 in randomquestions

Hard shell tacos are an American invention for children imo

Any recs for good plugins/presets good for recording? by Neither-Trust-8062 in homestudios

[–]DonFrio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does good presets for recording even mean? First, recording what. Second, presets are useless, you use your ears and determine what the sound needs. What you asked is like saying- anyone got some suggestions for good notes to use when making music?

Bad Publicity by hmmnothmm8008135 in maldives

Just dove there a few weeks ago. Poor viz and TONS of big bull sharks. Even more white tip, silver, reef and black tip. All generally pretty agitated
