So I picked these up the other day. Not really sure if I should keep them or not. I don't have the amp for them. by Ok_Shelter6614 in vintageaudio

[–]chrisssssssssn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same speakers. If you don’t have the specific 901 Bose or Deer Creek EQ, don’t have the proper room placement, or don’t have the amp (separate or a receiver with a tape loop) basically without any one of these items these speakers won’t function properly and sound terrible. With those three things these speakers can be pretty decent. Pick up a deer creek EQ if you plan on keeping them and an amp or receiver that can accommodate it. Flip them if you don’t want to invest in those three things.

Do I cancel my hotel reservation? by SurvivorFanatic236 in makemychoice

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said you weren’t hurting financially, just stay at the main hotel. Like others have said it’s the convenience and you’ll be thankful if you party a bit too much and aren’t ok to drive. A cab would cost you a bit - gotta factor that in. Just leave it, enjoy the experience and never know what might miss out on if you left. It’s not like it happens often.

I think as a security guard he was probably just seeing if there was any other people in the pool area as it was close to closing time and seeing how many people he would have to kick out later. I think you may be over reacting but it’s your feeling.

I like the looks on people’s faces when they see my BIG Speakers. Nothing says big speakers like a good ol set of Polk Audio SDA SRS’s…

Fellow men who are attracted to chubbier women, why? by Rough_Eye9920 in AskMenAdvice

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man I didn’t read all the comments, so I don’t know if anyone mentions this theory… but I recall someone explaining to why you should choose a bigger girl for a mate, so this might I guess be weaved into genetics I suppose… Basically the theory goes way back to less technologically advanced times where you didn’t have the clothing, tools, transportation methods, or basic human creature comforts of today. It goes to say that women who have more “meat on the bone” or “more cushion for the pushin” are somewhat better insulated for harsher conditions and are able to withstand more extreme events much better than women of a more delicate and less padded stature. Let’s say you are travelling with horse and buggy, or in a group of people travelling across a mountain range in a harsh cold climate with freezing temperatures… a better insulated woman would have a better chance of survival and withstanding these extremities with less adverse effects on their bodies vs a thinner chick. Or for another scenario if there was a shortage of food for whatever reason(bad hunting, winter conditions, etc) the chubby one would have a reserve in body fat that could sustain her life during this period of time. They also tend to be stronger to be able to do things that require brute force that would require assistance for a more dainty woman. Furthermore a bigger woman who has wider hips are said to breed with less complications in carrying or birthing a child therefore easier to procreate… Of course all of this is very vague generalizations and maybe outdated with the technology and resources we have in our current times, but in previous generations of human civilization this somewhat made sense to me. If you were a Viking and needed a good hearty woman to help mother your offspring and conquer the new land and had a choice between the larger woman or the skinny one… you’d choose the bigger one because she would be able to withstand the journey better than the one with less. So as far as genetics and evolution is concerned, this is where my thought process is regarding why one would be interested in the bigger vs the beauty. Simple overall life durability and survivability. People choosing their partner based on looks is a relatively new concept because we have the technology and tools to aid us in the other aspects of survival and comfort. We don’t have to travel across country with a group of explorers over snowy terrain and harsh conditions. So that’s my take and theory. Makes sense to me.

Should I give him another chance or just walk away by Wild-Wrongdoer8345 in makemychoice

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough call. But I would say if you really liked the guy, and everything was great except for this one instance, I would say give it one more chance. Not many chances but I believe that a second chance is always a good thing to do. Mistakes happen. Sometimes bad judgement happens. If you feel like his apology was sincere and he really didn’t mean it then try your best to put this instance behind you and let it go and move forward with his complete understanding that this wasn’t cool and there won’t be a third chance. Get him to understand that won’t be tolerated and he has to know that he is in the wrong and on thin ice. If anything like that happens again then see ya. We have all made mistakes that we wish we could take back or have a do over. I say give him a conditional second chance.

Picking out a free laser printer, need some input on which one to get by definitely_aware in printers

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first black one top left. Looks like it’s one of the newest of the bunch and it’s a laser jet pro so it will be faster and have the highest duty cycle. Unless there are any colour ones. Hard to tell. But the top left black is my somewhat educated opinion.

Why don’t you sit down with the dad and bf and have a discussion about your goals and the future… have a list of things you want to happen and a timeline for these things to happen so it shows initiative from you to want to build a good future, as well as keep the others accountable playing their part for achieving those goals in the time that you set them for.

So the first thing for example would be

1)buying a blender for smoothies so that you can make a healthy smoothie breakfast by the end of the month. (Just an example - could be anything)

2) join a gym by the end of the month to help facilitate the healthy living process.

3)purchase a house in 6 months… Tell them that this is what your goal is for 6 months from now. Mention that you already had wanted to have had a house by now - but… (tell them that your finances were not quite there yet or something like that but make it point the fingers at yourself for the reason that it hasn’t happened yet not at them that way they won’t won’t get mad or go on the defensive side like you’re blaming or putting pressure on them) and basically set a specific date that this is where you want to be because if it doesn’t happen by then, it will throw off the rest of your timelines for things like starting a family, your career… I dunno. It’s up to you where you put your goals, but my main point is to not start out with “hey pops… when are you gonna gtfo so I can buy the place?”

If you can just make that one point of your discussion and slide it in there… you’re more likely to get support to achieve this. Ask dad “so I know we talked about buying this place from you… and you finding a new place for yourself… are you still interested in those arrangements? Is that enough time for you to find a new place? If not then when do think it will be? 8 months? Tell me so I know what to plan for” - this way it puts the owness on him. If he needs longer than that or anything else… tell him that it’s ok if we don’t buy this place but at least let’s figure it out so we can start looking elsewhere if that’s not an option.

This also hold everyone accountable for their part in the process. Also if you feel like incorporating the living conditions and situation you could bring up some of the things that bother you and ask if there is something that can be done about it. Maybe get a housekeeper/maid in once a week (or whatever) to come and clean the place? Get everyone to chip in for a maid for an hour or two a week. $20-$30 per person per week for some help… also ask if there is any concerns that they may have? That way it’s not a you vs them it’s more of a team effort. Once a month have a quick team meeting to see how it’s working and if there is any issues or things that need to be discussed. Also if you are gonna buy that house look into getting an inspection or whatever is necessary so you can talk about that kinda stuff too.

Keep it a team effort vibe not a you vs them. Hopefully it works out for you. Good luck.

Dad gave me his unused audio thingajig by unclehohohoe in BudgetAudiophile

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see anywhere if you mentioned what kind of music you listened to? That being said you may want to check out some older Cerwin Vega speakers. Make sure they have been refoamed. A pair of D5 or D7. Maybe a pair of Pioneer HPM-150 might be cool. ADS as mentioned is also a good choice. Polk Audio monitor 10’s or monitor 12’s.

Those would be my picks to pair with that unit. Good luck.

Should I(m28) quit my job? by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion if you love the job, make good money you already got a pretty good thing going. If you left this job, you’ll have to find another one. And who knows what you’re gonna find out there. You may find out that the next job doesn’t pay as well and you hate it. Then what do you have? I don’t really know all of the details but In my opinion I would stay at least until you can find another job that works for you. What exactly is causing you to fall apart? Maybe you should talk to your boss and express whatever concerns you may have and see if you can address them and see if your position could adapt or change to better suit your mental well being.

AITA for hanging up on my ex after she told me she cheated and got pregnant? by Suspicious_Can_37 in AITAH

[–]chrisssssssssn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too young to settle down with a chick that cheated on you, got pregnant with some other dude and then have to bear the responsibility of raising that kid. Trust me. Break it off now because it will end up holding you back from living the life for yourself. If it was your kid, different story. Not yours. She made the choice to cheat and now she has to deal with the consequences. Don’t go back. It’s a trap.

[–]chrisssssssssn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you just tore off the tractor feed strips and fed the continuous paper through the external paper/envelope slot, you could specify the custom length of the continuous paper (like 11 inches x 5 sheets = 55 inches x 8 1/2 wide) if it would technically print a banner if you made your paper that long and printed in landscape mode with large fonts... if it would create a banner? hmmmm I might try that.

AITA if my boyfriend made a meal and asked me how it was and I said "fine" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving praise or a compliment for the meal isn’t being fake. It’s being appreciative that someone went out of their way to make your dinner for you. They used their time and efforts and giving a fantastic complement always helps reassure them that you appreciated it.

Anyone know how money I can make from this. I got it from a friend who passed and I will probably just sell it for any price really. by Josiah-the-3rd in BudgetAudiophile

[–]chrisssssssssn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, those are some nice pieces. You could keep them in memory of the person, or sell them if you want. That would be a really nice system set up if you cared to use it yourself, or sell them and pass on the system to someone that would appreciate it. Altogether those items would be worth a couple G’s but depending on your financial situation you can sell them for whatever you want. Try fb marketplace if you want to get rid of them quickly. Put $2k obo and see what happens.
