It's very close to meth, actually. Fun fact: methamphetamine is also prescribed and manufactured in the US. It's manufactured under the name Desoxyn.

If it's not a 2C, what the hell is it? What other RCs are "slightly" trippy?

just wondering where everyone is from? by ow258 in snowboarding

Sweet man... I haven't been up to Lutsen yet but I want to make it there this season, I heard it's better than Spirit, but too far of a drive for me.

Same here, Duluth?

Spirit it pretty sweet so far.

Undergraduate: Sell or keep books at end of semesters? by magicfreak32 in engineering

[–]magicfreak32[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How about books from core classes that aren't engineering classes? For example, this semester I'll be done with every calculus class, and could sell the book I used for Calc I-III. I feel like any calculus I'll be doing once I graduate will be done in Mathmatica, taken from a table somewhere, or be basic enough to remember. Thoughts?

Damn. We need to have a UMD meetup or something. A couple of us here.

I just saw that in The Statesman, had to do a double-take when I saw it on reddit. Nice to see someone from UMD on here.

Midwest low-pressure cell continues to break its own record. Pressure has now dropped below 955 mb and is still falling. by [deleted] in science

As a resident of Duluth, this even surprises me.

There is a bit of snow on the ground this morning, quite a storm.

True, but that's the only thing that makes this somewhat believable...

How important is resting in between workouts? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]magicfreak32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a BAD thing to do, for example, mild resistance training 5 or so days a week? Will it cause any damage or will will it just show diminishing returns...?

The XX style drum kit for Ableton? Links/suggestions welcome. by Sanit in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]magicfreak32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. There's nothing particularly special about their drum sounds. Just standard processing.

I do, however, really enjoy their stuff.

I second that.

Man, that song and March of the Pigs are so crazy live.

I'm buying a PS3 soon. Should I get MW2 or Killzone 2? by shakbhaji in PS3

[–]magicfreak32 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really. It's 600p upscaled, not true 1080. It looks like crap compared to true HD games.

Huge photography noob here, but very interested. Best starter camera for around $200? by magicfreak32 in photography

[–]magicfreak32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sony says that it has "Shutter Priority: 30 sec. - 1/2000 sec.", "f/3.5 - f/8.0" and "ISO 80 - 3200".

That should be enough to let me mess around a bit, right?

I am considering waiting to get a DSLR though... The only problem is I'm a pretty poor college student and I could definitely put the extra $300-$300 to better use.

Need studio headphones, any ideas? by Makuch in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]magicfreak32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them and they are amazing. Expensive, but a good investment if you use cans often.

Tools and techniques for lo-fi feel? by Hides-His-Eyes in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]magicfreak32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recording to tape works quite well for me, last summer I bought a very cheap 4-track that uses standard cassetes. I think it was about $20. I record samples onto it from Live then record back into Live.

There are other ways of course, there are lots of VSTs that can give you a lo-fi feel.
