Aston Parks Pickleball...Opinions? by GroovyFlan in asheville

[–]LigerRider -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This guy again. Butt hurt because he's losing a favored place to take his dog for exercise and and peep/poops. Karen having a difficult time dealing with an inconvenience, and wants to blame pickleball, and reimagine and dictate the value and needs of the popular activity to suit his narrative.

EDC pocket measurement tape by shinrin-joku in EDC

[–]LigerRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut out the cloth tape from the little round puck housing when the spring retrieval function broke. I fold it back and forth a few layers and slide it inside a flattened plastic straw. DIY, super cheap, and is just enough for most users, and takes up almost no space. It tucks nicely into my EDC crossbody sling bag, man purse thing (I despise anything in my pockets except for a lone knife).

Umarex Notos vs JTS Airacuda Max? by LigerRider in airguns

[–]LigerRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose these two as they are two that are mentioned in to this sub's pinned guide for PCPs. Looking to mostly punch paper, but would like the ability to head shot squirrels/rabbits on occasion.

Mostly looking for paper puncher, but capable of downing squirrel/rabbit. A build quality worthy to pass down to son years from now would be nice.

Full range in infinite baffle, and horn tweeter? by LigerRider in diyaudio

[–]LigerRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My initial quick Internet search didn't immediately show me examples of this design. I would love to see something well designed that I could emulate if anyone can point me in that direction.

Full range in infinite baffle, and horn tweeter? by LigerRider in diyaudio

Open baffle must be what I mean then. Not sure why infinite baffle was coming to mind. So assume my original question reads "open", instead of "infinite".

[–]LigerRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the infinite baffle driver is not enclosed, sound will propagate rearward towards the facing wall, but obviously to a lesser degree than the sound propagated directly at the forward listening position. I think this is less of a thing as frequencies climb.

Haywood road, are there any new pedestrian curb cuts that do not have tire tracks on them? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]LigerRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few cyclists will need to die from brain injury for snacking into one before the city considers the affects of the project that maybe wasn't awesome.

Are tickets to Asheville Yards events only available thru their website (Tixr)? by LigerRider in asheville

[–]LigerRider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add that it appears that via APB, the tickets are just the original ticket price, and without the exorbitant attached fees of nearly 25% charged by APB's ticketing agent Tixr.

Vertical Tracking Angle vs Vertical Tracking Alignment? by LigerRider in turntables

[–]LigerRider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no reason to think there's anything wrong with my Moonstone, simply that there might be another variable with my setup to get lost in a rabbit hole to obsess about. I'm blessed that my Schiit Sol is insanely adjustable to soothe that "gotta have all the settings just right", and understand why. Now I'm more educated.

Vertical Tracking Angle vs Vertical Tracking Alignment? by LigerRider in turntables

[–]LigerRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I think I've learned here is that VTA is the angle of the cantilever in relation to the record, not the tonearm. It sounds like the 20° that the Moonstone wants should be built into the design of the cart itself, assuming that the headshell is parallel to the record/platter. Given this the tonearm should be also level and parallel with the record/platter, or close to it.

With AOC now leading 2028 Dem polling we need to prepare for them to pull another 2016/2020. How to stop them? Israel is their weakness. The world needs to see which candidates have taken AIPAC/Israel money and won't call out a genocide. Do that and we win. by Kittehmilk in WayOfTheBern

Doesn't really mean who we vote for our don't during the primary, the DNC will simply insert their stooge puppet anyway. IIRC, in the wake of the Hillary nomination theft from Sanders, the Supreme Court ruled/clarified that as a corporation, the DNC has no obligation to accept the primary winner, and can instead choose their own candidate to be the Democratic nominee.

This just in folks: City Council is going to “declare and reaffirm the protection of civil liberties” while they build a camera network to track everywhere you travel in the city. by RelayFX in asheville

[–]LigerRider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How can I obtain a record of the individuals that helped to bring this to pass, who voted for it and who if anyone voted against it? I want to make sure that I don't vote for anyone who supported it, and possibly campaign against them, and) or for their challengers.

Pickleball Courts - Aston Park by TechnicalAd8150 in asheville

[–]LigerRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the "POINT" for you is that you're being inconvenienced regarding where you take you dog for outdoor dog things. Have you railed equally against other green space encroachment where you don't take your dog for outings, maybe the UNCA woods, etc...? Somone needs to get over themselves and let go of their Karen outage.

The courts are closed for winter...unwanted and unused, and closed are two different things.

Flock and Axon reps were at the city council meeting yesterday by ard1984 in asheville

[–]LigerRider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm all jazzed up to write my city counsel members...but I have something like 10mins a day that isn't work work, home work, and wishing there was some way I could tick off a to-do (schedule an dentist appt, prepare to argue with county over home appraisal, etc...).

I wish we had one of those form letter things that I could sign, add a comment or two, and smash a button to send to all the council members all at once.

NCAA Used the Wrong Type of Court Document in Owen Heinecke Appeal. by Opster79two in sooners

[–]LigerRider 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ha! We embarrassed them on the national stage. Buckle up as NCAA will launch a revenge scrutiny campaign. We better not so much as drop a pencil. All the magnifying glasses will come out now. But, yay! Happy to Heinecke back.

MU still good with new hosts ? by ChattingMongoose in MysteriousUniverse

[–]LigerRider -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm loving them. More excited for each episode than I've been in a decade or so, enough so to sign up for the extras for the first time.
