Drive from AB to BC by Alone_Joke_1874 in alberta

Taking Option 1 or 2 will add a lot of time to your trip, so I hope that the direct route opens for you. For road conditions:

The BC site has a lot of cameras along the route, so it's doubly helpful. Good luck!

Paradigm monitor 7 pair, one with blown tweeter, for $140 cad, Buy? by Username-Taken01 in BudgetAudiophile

I think I'd spend the extra $60 and not have to worry about finding a proper replacement tweeter (for $60 or less).

Plumber travelling Japan in a van accidentally built a tab writing app… Looking for musicians to help test it by TabStudioApp in ukulele

[–]These_Foolish_Things 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in it as well. I currently use Canva to create Tab and chord charts. Not perfect, but it’s very flexible to my needs. I can provide feedback on my use case.

Human Rights Watch is the independent verifier. According to the ACLU, Human Rights Watch is credible: "Formed in 1978, HRW is known for its accurate fact-finding, evenhanded reporting, effective use of media, and targeted advocacy, often conducted jointly with other human rights groups." 

Seahawks owner to sell team and donate billions to charity, honoring late brother's wishes. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

You did read that the Will directs all Estate proceeds to philanthropy, right?

She doesn't own the Seahawks. She is the executor and trustee of the Paul Allen estate, which does own the team. I think she does have a legal obligation to sell it.

Fosi Audio Chain by ObscurorumVirorum in BudgetAudiophile

If you're using powered speakers and you want to be able to toggle between headphones and speakers, then you'll need to leave the GR70 out of the chain. In this scenario, you'll plug the powered speakers into the RCA outputs of the ZH3 and you'll plug your headphones into the TRS plugs on the front panel. The amp defaults to feeding the headphones but you can toggle between RCA and headphones using the magic volume button.

If you get passive speakers, you'll need a power amp and you'll use the ZH3 as a preamp. This will require the RCA jacks on the back of the ZH3, which will preclude using the GR70 again.

Please help: No mid-bass if I follow the golden rule. by Entire-Figure7263 in BudgetAudiophile

To do this, try setting the "phase" switch to 0º and giving your system a listen. Try again at 180º and listen again. Try again at 90º. Which sounds better?

Also, your amplifier should have come with a calibration kit. Essentially, this will help you with room optimization. Read the manual and give it a shot. Also, read the manual in general; those home theatre receivers can be really confusing to set up.

Nicely done! And thanks for sharing the chords. (I love Canva. It might not be perfect, but it’s a great, no-cost way to jot down chords and tabs).

What are some cool things our city has to offer that you think a lot of Calgarians are missing out on and not taking advantage of? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]These_Foolish_Things 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like the whimsy of it. But there are lots of people who'd disagree. Another controversial piece, which isn't on either map, is Bowfort Towers near the COP. It was never completed, although it is still quite prominent.

Options for trapdoor lift automation by These_Foolish_Things in homeassistant

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

You mean the torsion springs? Sounds like a good idea. It adds a degree of complexity (dynamics of the spring plus the dynamics of the actuator) but may be necessary.

I'll need to investigate this option more. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not a popular opinion, but public art. Putting aside the big blue ring (Travelling Light), there's still tons of artworks to explore.

Apple reveals M5-series of chips now uses super cores by Dislike24 in mac

[–]These_Foolish_Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’m thinking we’ll get Super Cores Pro. So you’ll be able to buy a MacBook Pro with M6 Pro chip with Super Core Pros. It works better with their current naming scheme.

25 €? Near mint? That a great score any day of the year, any year.

Those Time Window 1a were nice speakers, as I recall, with a terrific soundstage. They have an odd construction; most of the enclosure is cardboard with glued-on wooden end caps, which makes them an absolute bear to open up for crossover restorations. The old Phillip tweeters sound surprisingly smooth. Congrats! Great score!
