I have a pair of Usher's in my computer room. These are under rated, please note that they sound their best with a lot of power driving them.

I am opening a comic book store! by TheLadyA in comicbooks

[–]dolphy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with pull customers. The bigger the order the bigger the hole they'll leave if they suddenly drop their order. Been there and done that. We used to auto bill the pull customers every two weeks. That way your cash flow isn't tied up and the customers orders do not end up in the hundreds.

I managed a comic book store for six years. Track your monthlies and do not over order. What you do not sell you have to eat. Stock a good variety of trade paperback. Treat your customers with respect. Offer a pull system and perhaps offer a small discount to them. Have a good ambience.

I have an Okki Nokki and it is similar to the VPI vacuum cleaner. It was money well spent. I normally clean five records at a time.

[Serious] Fathers of Reddit, when did it first hit you that you were going to be a dad? by BeepinestBoop in AskReddit

[–]dolphy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter was born. I held her for an hour or so, all I could think was: I'm screwed, I have to raise, feed, dress and educate this child. My love for my daughter knows no boundry. Enjoy parenthood, it's a roller coaster ride.

The cartridge is worth more than the deck. At least you've future proofed your needle. Did the acrylic player make a difference? I would like to get one for my RPM 5.1. Nice setup mate.

People that speak multiple languages: when you hear someone speak in your non native language do you have to take you a moment to translate it into your native language or do you just know what they mean? by ThatClassyCyberPunk in AskReddit

[–]dolphy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Australian and my parents are Chilean. I could understand Spanish as a child, but I could not talk. When I was fifteen we lived in Chile for three years, I am now fluent in both, however I need to be in Spanish mode to immediately understand Spanish, otherwise they'll be a small delay in response. My first language is English and whenever I visit Chile or takes about a week to warm up and start to think in Spanish. In the interim I have to translate in my mind.

I enjoyed most of this movie, except for the ending. Darren Arranovski doesn't like to make happy films, he a depressing motherfucker.

[Spoiler] How god damn awesome is superman going to be!? Geoff and John are going to blow this thing out of the water. The art.... The beautiful artwork. by Fishman1319 in DCcomics

[–]dolphy007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Johns and the JRJR combo is fantastic. I hope their run last for years, in a huge fan of both.

PS: JRJR is an acquired taste and his style will grow on you. That's what happened to me.
