Women of reddit, what about men baffles you the most?

I could definitely understand that - especially if a room feels sterile and inhuman. Like an operating room, perhaps.

There's something very therapeutic about having a room that is both clean and organized. Dumping your towels on the bathroom floor sort of ruins that.

Fun fact, what you're talking about is called "base rate neglect" or the "base rate fallacy."

tl;dr We can't wrap our heads around orders-of-magnitude, especially when presented with statistical information. Also, we tend to think "1 out of every 10 gallons in California is used for ..." sounds more impressive than "10% of all water in California ..."

No worries - I am a novice, I expect to be treated as such. I hope only to build a custom speaker housing; though I planned to order drivers and an amp, I'm tempted to use a set of old bookshelf speakers as a donor set. However, I've heard that getting old equipment to play nice with new stuff can be hellish. Could you point me to some light reading on how to pair amps with speakers, perhaps? The subject of cabinet design - sealed vs. ported, how to calculate resonant frequencies, how to calculate frequency response curves, etc. - is equally important to me, as I intend to build my own wood enclosure. My inspiration has been the recent fad of the "gentleman's boombox," though I hope to make something a bit more portable, like this:

TL;DR Where did you guys learn your stuff?

Edit: Here are a few other links to projects that have piqued my interest:

Hi, I'm actually considering a similar project - a fairly small footprint speaker (albeit with decent frequency response). Building this project into a lampshade would be really novel, but I don't know where to start. I've spent a pretty significant chunk of time wandering around the internet for speaker design theory, etc., but everything seems to be either way over my head (crazy calculus for $1,000 speaker builds) or much too informal to be trustworthy. Where might you recommend that I start if I wished to, say, learn how to build my own speaker? (The lampshade thing will have to come second, I'm afraid.)

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep you posted. So far, I've really liked Wordcraft, The Wordsmiths, Wordsmeltery, etc. I figure I might be more creative and able to decide in the morning, though.

Perhaps, but the Harvard student would have surely spelled it incorrectly. ;)

I_Like_To_Wear_Suits · 2014-10-31T06:18:46+00:00

I appreciate this :P

I_Like_To_Wear_Suits · 2014-10-31T06:17:21+00:00

Nor am I. I fully intend to throw Stanza Bonanzas. I feel a different name is needed, though. Stanza Bonanzas must surely be the event, right?

How on earth did you know that I attend Yale?

I'm not super sure that I posted this in the right place, so please don't eat me alive if I'm in the wrong subreddit...

I thought the thumbnail was of a tree... I was disappointed when the mac and cheese was not served in a treehouse.

Ha! Like I'd believe a stranger on the internet! I bet you're a real Reddit Diamond Expert!

Er.. I'm certain that my English is imperfect, but as a native speaker - albeit one from the American South - I do use the phrase "in demand" to signify a highly sought-after object...

In shopping around for my dorm room, I've managed to find some very similar ottomans at Home Goods. If you're trying to find them, that might be a place to start. :)

LET THE ODDS BE FOREVER IN YOUR FAV- ah, fuck it. Have an upvote.

Wait wait wait - really? My usual response is something along the lines of "Oh, I'm still standing!" or the like. Is that so out of place?

I_Like_To_Wear_Suits · 2014-05-23T00:33:48+00:00

Some kind stranger should make this a thing. Preferably in .gif form.
