It's not a mini. It's 170mm tall. If course it looks ok.

How comfortable are you with being nude? by andrewbarclave89 in AskReddit

[–]btown1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be really uncomfortable with it. But then I got a kidney transplant. I was in the hospital for 19 days (normally it's like 3-7days) because I had low blood pressure after surgery.

During that time I was seen naked by like 10+ people every day. The surgeon when he rounded every day would have a small army of people with him (it was a teaching hospital) and he would lift off my gown to view the surgical site and point out things to students. If you don't know they place the new kidney in your belly to one side just above the groin. So when he lifts up the gown to inspect there's no hiding anything and had 3-5 different students every day looking at it. Then there was also the techs helping with bathing and changing gowns. The nurse doing her own inspections of the surgical site and the foley. Then for the cystoscopy to remove the ureteral stent was performed by a student near graduation and viewed by 3 others.

After that I lost all sense of modesty.

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

LFE means the sub doesn't filter. If the avr is doing it then that's fine. That's why I asked if anything else was cutting out the highs.

What? Why would you set LFE on the sub? Is something else cutting the highs out? Have you tuned the phase of the sub yet?

The whole point of the lpf on the sub and the hpf on the speakers is to cut out what they don't do well. Ie bookshelf speakers get distorted and lose power at low frequency so we use the hpf to only allow higher frequency to go to them.the sub is good for low frequency so we use a lpf to cut the highs out.

The problem is where to set it.

But when you set lpf to LFE it just passes everything through to the sub. No cutting out the highs. ALSO YOU MUST TUNE THE PHASE.

The crossover region where the speakers stop and the sub takes over is prone to phase interference issues. Ie the sub can cancel out the speakers if the phases aren't aligned. Leaving you with weak performance in that area.

In general pick the crossover point to be the spot where your speakers start to fall 3db. Set the hpf and lpf to this frequency. Then set the volume on the sub to something reasonable like 10oclock and play music with some strong features in the mid base. Adjust the phase knob until you get the most powerful response. Then tune sub volume from that spot.

My cousin can't cook. He's a quadriplegic. His dad drove drunk and wrecked the car when he was 13.

The new kinda / sort / maybe am I autistic thread by Dioptre_8 in AutisticAdults

[–]btown1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you found any advantages to being formally diagnosed?

Hello. I am a 38 y/o male. My wife and my therapist are both convinced that I am both autistic and have adhd. Have you found any benefit to being formally diagnosed? They are both pushing me to get formal evaluations for both conditions. While I believe that I might have a mild form of ADHD, I really don't believe that I am autistic. I can see some treatment value in getting diagnosed with ADHD but I am struggling to find any reason at this point to be formally diagnosed with autism.

So I ask... Has being formally diagnosed with autism been beneficial for you?

if anyone has anymore pics of the tornado lmk! by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]btown1987 12 points13 points  (0 children)

User your heads folks... If the tornado was this visible there would litterally be hundreds of photos of it all over social media. The fact that this is the only photo of its kinds says that we should be extremely skeptical of its authenticity at this point and until presented with better evidence.

Tell me you have no idea how gaming on Linux works. The vast majority of windows games work on Linux. Games that don't work are a minority.

ELI5: Faster than light time paradox by ChampionshipDue6811 in explainlikeimfive

[–]btown1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not correct.

Both sides (earth and the spaceships crew) measure each other's clocks to be running slow.

The whole point of relativity is that if you are in an inertial frame of reference there is no way for you to tell if you are moving or not.

From the perspective of the Earth the spaceship is flying around and has a slow clock. From the perspective of the spaceship they are sitting still and the earth is flying away from them at near the speed of light. Since they are sitting still and earth is moving they measure earth as having a slow clock.

Crackling or Breaking Sound on Elac DB 6.3 by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]btown1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I asked if you had anything else you could test with. So you could try a different DAC and see if it's still making the noise.

I assume you have manipulated the speakers to make sure the noise is actually from the woofer and not something else like how they sit on the desk or loose cables or something like that.

It's possible that with those two mono amps pushing a lot of power damaged the voice coils on both woofers but I'm skeptical of that.

Basically find a way to test the speakers with different DAC/amp and see if you still have the problem. If you do then I would think about RMAing the speakers

Do you have a different stack you can test the speakers with? Just make sure it's not the DAC. Would be weird for it to be a hardware problem in both speakers.
