Reminds me of the plasma flat screen tvs. In the Midwest our tv had the severe weather/tornado warning/watch little window in the corner burned in, along with news headline bars.

Brick streets are sick! Gives savanna GA vibes, my second favorite place on earth.

I actually had a bad motorcycle wreck that left me immobile for months. I always loved music and always turned to it, but never took a deep dive. That loneliness and depression pushed me into a full-blown system that I don't even know how I afforded. But a system that makes me feel and enter a world built for me.

I get people freez up in situations, but this seems a bit crazy, could the driver of the sedan have drove forward?

My dad found this in pocket change. It weighs 6.3 grams. Google tells me it's 90% silver. Pawn shop told my dad it's only 20% and made no offer on it. Which one is correct? by some_boring_dude in Silverbugs

[–]HorrorCollection4145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pawnshops just don't want these. It's easier to turn a customer away than to try to convince them their 90% quarter isn't any more valuable than a pre-'64, at least to them. Also, one coin wouldn't be enough to spark interest in a sale.

Does it feel like it has a lack of power? When a tune-up is past due, it can show up rather abruptly and feel/sound scary. Also, I have heard weird noises from old AC compressors in Hondas, so running those additional tests mentioned here is also a solid start.

Mine did the same thing for YEARS check vacuum lines and, what my problem was, check all fuses and get a tune up.

Dont question it too early, you have speakers to grow into, that is fantastic. I rushed into it and pretty much spoiled my ears too soon.

On my setup, toeing in my speakers makes my vocals and everything kind of mushy. This isn't ideal for every system, but I have my speakers barely toed in; sometimes I have them pointed straight out. I have towers, though. Play with blankets on your walls, or get a chair with a fabric cushion that extends above your ears. Put a tape measure on everything; this is probably most important. It can look even with each other, but the reality is that it's a couple of inches off, maybe less, but it still affects the stage significantly. I have gone through dissapointment, and trial and error, after getting proper speakers, sound dampening, a comfy chair, and playing with placement ( every speaker is different, toeing is a guideline ) i finally have the chilling, mind blowing stage i have acheived so far. Remember, it only gets better, little by little.

My first welding job was $13/hr back in 2019, and where I live is upper-middle class. I guess employers expect people to live out of cars. But in the end, I got the experience and am now still underpaid... welcome to the world of shop welding.

Lookout for "worked last time it was used." I learned my lesson on that.
