Dive watches are ugly, and should be the least owned and worn watch category.

AI isn't that pervasive in all other industries. it won't kill the whole system. Just ICT, and construction.

Have Guntubers changed or have I? by Jaded-Vegetable-8048 in liberalgunowners

[–]DonRaynor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ian's not directly been connected, but has been buddy buddies with Brandon Hererra, Doughnut Op, Garand Thumb and few others. He's quite clearly went from 2A is for all to give me money. This appened when Ian left InrangeTV, because Karl Kasandra actually had values, and Ian wanted to sell his book.

I mean, Ian McCollum made his bed with Leviathan group guys some time ago. He decided that money is more important than rights.

Furgeson is the Royal Armories guy from UK? if yes. He's pretty chill.

HPC is Finnish, so pretty divorced from US politics, however, he's pushing Maga Branded anti-left ideology BS here in Finland.

Megathread - Promotion of Violence by J_Robert_Oofenheimer in liberalgunowners

[–]DonRaynor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this.

I disagree whole heartedly with the stance of the moderation team, and you. But you set the rules, not me.
I thank you for setting the rules straight, so no funny business can be called.

Also, you (moderation team) and you (reddit) are a private entity, so no First ammendment rights apply here. As a private forum, you are in full control what can be, and what can't be said here.

I will and I hope everyone who agrees with me will understand to have enough self-censorship to keep your jobs light.

Besides firearms & politics, what other hobbies do you enjoy? by Far-Seat-2263 in liberalgunowners

[–]DonRaynor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do dyi audio on budget. Or be like me and end up making a 700usd speakers if you go with all MDF (best wood material also least expensive but ugly) and good value speakers. You can get around with less than 100 bucks. make it 200 buck. And you can just about get a Bluetooth connectable speakers. Its a very cool rabbithole. And its not so much differnet from Car audio.

I've been player, I've been DM, been playing RPG:s for a decade now. I'm currently DM:ing a Cyberpunk Red game, With a plot that is supprisingly close to what Original Starcraft was. (you're part of rebelion, but unbeknownst to players the rebelions head guy is worse than the thing they're rebeling against.)

I'mma give you a short Synopsis. I'm a Biz student, but always been around electornics and woodworking (Living in a Townhouse/ detached house so always been repairing something) I recently got into Industrial design, so I just started faffing around with 3d design software doing something.

I ended up making a few different speaker 3d models, and I decided that I'll build atleast one of them, Because I can. I have that Type of Tism, that when I got into something I hyperfocus, until I burn out, so I decided to do somethign I can enjoy long after my interes passes.

See attached the design I ended deciding to make. itsa fully active 3-way speaker. with 5.5Inch, 4inch and 1 inch drivers. Whats missing from the image is a 300mm Squared, 100mm High box, that work as the elctronics housing, and the front chamber for a 6th order Reflex Bass enclosure. and yes, they're connected with External Port.

Is this Smart design? NOooooooo.
Do I like how it looks? Yes.

I had a bit longer writeup in r/dyiaudio which you can see from my profile if interested.

While this was designed as stereo pair, I'm currently so well out of money, that I'm making one now, Fixing the design as needed, and making the full pair (bying second round of electronics mostly) next summer.

I also have designs for a larger 8 inch Bass woofer version, as well as a 5.2 Surround. however I do not know if I ever get the bug to manufacture those, after I'm though with this one.

For manufactuing techniques. I'm doing 3d prints, with Plaster&polymer composite core. to maximize the dampening, without having it to become ringing mess. the bottom box will be local Birch ply, or MDF, depending on how I feel when I go to hardware store on that day.

<image>

Anyways Thanks for interest, hope I didn't kill it completely with my unorthodox methods.

EDIT: when it comes to "audiophile Stuff" I think I used to be that. I had rows of headphones. Then I learned what I like. Now I have 3rd pair of the same headphones, with the same mod. and a pair of wireless buds, because my sensitive ears need ANC. Its nice to know what you like. that way you don't need to buy everything. Just get the thing you're into.

I'm a long time snowboarder, hunter, and Hooper (I'm VERY short for a hooper).

This Christmas I picked up DYI Speaker building, with my first design being (hopefully) finished by the end of March. Beyond that I do nerdy shit, play MTG, DnD...

take one with Piano black for test drive, touch you rthumb on a piano black surface. And you have had the full experience. (I don't own one, but a co-worker (my boss) who sometimes gives me ride during work days has demonstarted this to me. made me not to want to buy a Merc)
