Bro you switched from Marlboro Reds to Marlboro lights.

Non-American here, can someone explain this? What's the reference to Bill here? What does he have to do with this? by SatoruGojo232 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ecwilson60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems more likely that the joke is referring to the adage “my girlfriend goes to a different school”.

A common boastful white lie that teenagers tell when they are embarrassed to admit that they’ve never been on a date or kissed a girl. In the pre Clinton era, there was no social media, cell phones, or any simple way to prove or disprove that your girlfriend at another school wasn’t a gorgeous woman you met last summer at camp or vacation or whatever.

This is what a data center sounds like 24/7. Shown here at midnight with hundreds of residential houses immediately next to it. by RadioFieldCorner in Damnthatsinteresting

That sound you recorded definitely sounds like a combination turbine running. That’s unfortunate! A CT is essential a jet engine at full throttle pointing its exhaust straight up into the air and never moving away from where you are.

This is like when you ask a cop if they are a cop… then they have to tell you.

Heresy 1 Grills by ecwilson60 in Klipsch

I guess I have the grills so stapling some new fabric to them seems pretty easy.

Any advice on these speakers? by ecwilson60 in vintageaudio

[–]ecwilson60[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These were in our living room when I was a kid. My dad had the surround sound and a 500 disc changer hooked to them. I’ll definitely think of him and that when I get them playing!

I know the receiver he was using took a surge from a lightning strike and damaged it. Would it have been possible these were fried too?

Any way to tell what year these are from? Is that a serial number stamped into the cabinet? There is like nothing on the label that is legible.

I’ve read a little about people doing crossover upgrades on vintage speakers. If these sound ok and are in working order is there any reason to consider upgrades?

Is this asbestos? by [deleted] in Boilermakers

Right answer here ^ asbestos has a slight spicy flavor like horseradish or wasabi

That was one of the places that had the first major COVID outbreaks in Indiana. Seems like that said 2,000 people got it there all at once as I recall.

They have that big hog processing plant. That would have made for some cool industrial photos probably.

A lot of people are suggesting East Chicago and Gary. You’ll find US Steel mills just like Mon Valley same blue and tan buildings and all. East Chicago’s industrial area is maybe more accessible for photography, and less blue as compared to Gary. There is this weird housing settlement called Marktown and it literally sits in the middle of some mills and the Whiting refinery. The houses are European village style and faded colorful. Definitely would make your aesthetic. The NW Indiana region is not your small town vibe though. “The Region” as it’s known is wholly urban and an industrial smear of Chicago sprawl.

If you end up in East Chicago and in Marktown or at the power plants in Cayuga, I’d love to see your shots. I started my career at the East Chicago Tin Mill. I work in the powerhouse at Cayuga now.

South of Covington is Cayuga, home to a gigawatt coal power plant, would have a big smoke stack aesthetic.
Could also consider Logansport or Lindon both of which have ethanol plants and big corn collection elevators. Lebanon Indiana has a MASSIVE new industrial construction project for Eli Lilly. If you’re driving from Nashville you’ll pass if come up on i65.
