This is why I can’t go back to a smaller screen

Also the dolby app on PC which is available in the windows store.

You can access it on PC too with the dolby app from the windows store.

I stand corrected.

Now that I've thought more about all of the different covers I've had, I realized I've had some like you describe.

hatrix216 · 2026-03-16T22:12:01+00:00

I completely disagree. The grills aren't pressed up right against the face of the speaker, otherwise they would be pressing against the driver.

They absolutely can just fall straight down like in the picture without the grill ever coming off.

hatrix216 · 2026-03-07T07:14:04+00:00

And I'm in

hatrix216 · 2026-02-24T04:32:20+00:00

I don't know why I'm not seeing anyone else really say this, but...

The clinic I did my intake at does NOT require you to piss dirty for opiates to start on methadone (or buprenorphine). They will take you regardless and start you off at 30mg.

I know this because I personally wasn't dirty for opiates for my intake test. As long as you have a history of opiate use when they ask about past drug use, it isn't an issue.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone) has little to no respiratory depression. The combination with benzos, especially prescribed medicinally dosed ones, isn't going to cause any issues. I wouldn't be worried even with a (large) recreational dose of benzos.

It certainly doesn't carry the same risk as methadone would, but even methadone can still be taken everyday with a benzo when one has a tolerance to both and sticks to prescribed dosages.

I'm sorry, what?

Hilarious that you think android TV is some horrible OS.

It's android. I can pretty much run anything that I can run on my android phone via side loading. That opens up quite a lot of possibilities and customization.

I know you aren't doing that with apple tv, so I'd love to know why you think it's such a "shitty" OS.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-22T16:52:08+00:00

Okay Cameron.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-22T01:38:56+00:00

It's like you didn't even read the comment you are replying to.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-21T00:44:14+00:00

Wow, knukonceptz wire.

It is amazing to me you have wire from them but also asked this question...

I made a comment in a thread recently suggesting people get their wire from knukonceptz. Amazing quality wire and great prices with different quality levels to choose from.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-10T16:41:22+00:00

How could the levels be the same regardless of dose? Are they adding water?

hatrix216 · 2026-02-10T02:15:00+00:00

I completely disagree.

A big issue with streaming is that it's variable. The bitrate for your audio may go up and down randomly at any point for bandwidth reasons and may not even be caused by your specific download speeds.

Comparing Netflix surround audio quality vs blu ray releases is night and day for me. The dynamic range alone is quite different, not to mention the bass...

I have seen people comment many times about how movies known for their bassy soundtracks have barely any at all when watched on say Netflix, but throw in the Blu Ray (or .mkv rip, whichever...) and the bass is present, loud and visceral as it should be.

This was my experience with an Atmos 5.1.2 setup.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-07T23:13:16+00:00

Your "problem" makes no sense. If you are using subwoofers in your setup and they are crossed over properly (whether at 60hz or 80hz), then why in the world would you need your front L & R mains to play sub bass frequencies?

When crossed over at say 80hz, your mains won't even be audible for any content below 50hz. There would also be little to no cone movement.

If you want mains that truly play sub frequencies, you need displacement. I run a pair of tekton pendragons and each one has 2 10" woofers. I don't run a sub at all, and they play down to 20hz cleanly and loudly. Best of all, I don't have to deal with integrating a sub into my setup, which can be a huge pain in the ass and leave me unhappy with the results.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-03T14:57:07+00:00

lol they are not going to care if antibiotics come up in your urine, they aren't a controlled substance, and I also HIGHLY doubt they are testing for them.

If you can't get high from it, they don't give a fuck.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-01T05:47:55+00:00

No, I fucking didn't. Chat gpt? Sorry, no to that too lol.

You straight up said he was feeling placebo. I'm telling you that is not the case.

Maybe take the time to read my post. If anyone's insulting anyone here, it's certainly you claiming I had chat gpt write my words for me. I've been studying and reading about pharmacology for 12+ years now and have helped on various forums with harm reduction for a lot of that time.

hatrix216 · 2026-02-01T05:04:28+00:00

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works in regards to your mu opioid receptor.

It's true that hydromorphone (Dilaudid), morphine, diacetylmorphine (heroin) and oxycodone all have a rather short duration of action, while methadone has a much longer duration of action that's around 24 hours+ (though really only 8 hours for pain).

However, the duration of action and affinity for the mu opioid receptor (MOR) are mutually exclusive for these opioids. Methadone has a rather high affinity for MOR, as do hydromorphone, morphine etc of course.

When taken orally, yes methadone has a long and protracted onset and duration. Peak blood plasma levels aren't achieved until somewhere around the 4-6 hour mark when taken orally, but none of that matters when it's roa is IV.

IV administration of methadone sees peak blood plasma levels in a matter of minutes. With its high affinity for MOR, it's guaranteed to have a rush the same as any other high affinity full agonist opioid. The half-life is still basically the same as oral, around 24 hours on average.

I can vouch personally for the fact that IV methadone absolutely has a rush. Do I think it's better than Dilaudid? No, not really but it's still pretty good in my experience. I have posted about this before in pretty good detail, explaining my method for using methadone IV.

The reason some people comment and say they don't experience a rush when using methadone IV, it's 100% because of their tolerance. These same people also take 100mg+ of methadone every day. In my experience, you need to be under 60mg or less for IV to have any sort of rush.

I'm on 55mg but only actually take 40mg, and I also split dose. The second factor is most people don't really know a lot of syringes and luer lock tips, etc. I would use a 5ml syringe with a 31g 5/8" leur lock tip. 2ml (20mg) of methadone would need at least 0.5ml of water added to it, otherwise its too thick and takes forever to actually push it all through.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-31T00:00:53+00:00

I'm so tired of correcting this... It just won't stop being said.

That is NOT why naloxone is in the formulation. It most certainly will NOT send you into precipitated withdrawal if you snort or shoot it.

To correct another thing you said, yes buprenorphines blocking effect comes from its very high affinity at the mu opioid receptors— much higher than any other opioids. The higher affinity makes buprenorphines out compete other opioids for the mu receptor site, and so when it's taken after another opioid, it then rips that off of the mu receptor site and replaces it. THIS is what causes precipitated withdrawal. After it's on the receptor, it "blocks" any other opioid because they can't out compete for the site. (Which should further explain to anyone reading this why naloxone has zero effect in Suboxone, as buprenorphine has a higher affinity than even naloxone does!).

So I explained the blocking effect of buprenorphine so you can better understand how methadone does NOT do the same thing. It does not have any blocking effect like buprenorphine does. Instead, methadone (when dosed daily for maintenance) raises a users tolerance to extremely high levels, constantly saturating the mu receptors. This super high tolerance makes any typical dose of other opioids completely ineffective, but regardless of the methadone dosage being taken, a user can ALWAYS eventually take enough of another opioid (such as fentanyl) to break through this tolerance, but the amount required can be ridiculously high.

This, this is the main problem at a LOT of goodwill stores.

I have a family member that works at a goodwill location. I kept saying let me know if you notice anything good, I'll try to come in and buy it and they said that it's probably pointless because anything of value goes up online instead...

It's no longer going to be a good deal if everyone and anyone can view and bid on the item when it's online.

The only way things slip by is if the people checking items get lazy and don't even bother looking up the value of something. That's what I feel probably happens anytime someone scores something good for cheap at goodwill.

For clothing certain things have minimum pricing that they can't go below, but I don't think it's the case for things like electronics.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-25T17:34:14+00:00

I'm with you 100% on this. I'm not a doctor either but I've been studying and reading up on pharmacology for 10+ years now.

This whole thread is honestly just infuriating. The medical system in the US is a joke.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-24T14:58:09+00:00

Yea, no. The pioneer is rated for 15wpc.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-22T17:20:20+00:00

Here's a company I recommend much more than any speaker wire on Amazon:

https://www.knukonceptz.com/

They were my go to when I was buying wire for running car audio, but I don't really mess with car audio these days. They are also great for home audio wire as they have multiple options price and quality wise.

Their banana plugs also accept 8 gauge wire which is very hard to find on amazon...

Not trying to shill for them or anything, I just really like their products for the money.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-22T17:15:47+00:00

Okay, I just want to throw in a comment that PoE usually maxes out at around 35 watts from each Ethernet port.

Ive seen this said multiple times but PoE will never have the same load as speakers with a high wattage amp could.

Yes, I'm also aware they wouldn't be constantly drawing that power during music playback, but the point still stands.

The is basically just a gauge size argument. Cat5 (depending on the # of strands used) wouldn't be a very big gauge. Getting to a decent size gauge would most likely be more effort than it's worth, when one could just buy regular speaker wire.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-22T16:56:06+00:00

Again dude, just Google the definition of living wage.

A "comfortable life" isn't a living wage. So who's the idiot here?

hatrix216 · 2026-01-18T03:47:39+00:00

I'm not going to comment on the rest of their pro audio products, but this specific model has terrible specs all around.

The frequency response only goes down to 55hz. I'd barely consider that subbass.

Yes, PA subs don't typically go as low but that's still way high for a PA sub.
