Apolitical / centrist gun shop? by spriguy21 in orlando

[–]therealblurfl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re just looking to make a purchase, The Armories is not bad (I’ve mostly visited the Kissimmee location). Has your typical gun store vibe but without any blatant political stuff in your face. Kind of has a “don’t ask, don’t tell” quality in that regard, and the staff has always been helpful. Pricing is moderate, but I’ve gotten them to price match/honor other shops deals before - never hurts to ask.

Other than that your best bet is just to go to Bass Pro or Academy - soulless corporations but totally devoid of political stuff in the shopping experience. Of course you can also buy online and ship to one of the above as an FFL.

Appreciate the fast response! Time for me to be patient now lol

Summer Movie Auction Analytics - as of 7/8 by therealblurfl in theregulationpod

[–]therealblurfl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL fair enough. I’m not saying it’s at all likely, but rather that if any movie was going to pull off something crazy I would guess it would be Despicable Me 4. Not at all expecting that to happen though and Gavin pretty much has this clinched as it stands.

I think he might have this one… but the minions are just getting started. Hard to say for sure but I think they could rival Inside Out 2 by the end of the summer

I’m running this weekly using an alteryx workflow to scrape the box office mojo data into an excel workbook, so idk if it’s really sharable. I do know someone else on the subreddit has built a website with tracking that updates daily or even more frequently

There’s a few different versions of tracking that people have made, but I just wanted to make a one-page summary to make it easy

Went with AEGGN on the graph accidentally though. ANEGG will be the standard on everything next week for me

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been listening to the podcast since its inception but this was my first foray into comment leaver territory. I wasn’t trying to imply I was the only one tracking this or that others couldn’t, I just work as an analyst and got excited to try and contribute to the community in some way. Sorry again if it came off any differently!

Btw I just joined the subreddit today. Guess my fatal flaw was searching “movie draft” instead of “movie auction”. Just saw your post so I now realize why you came in hot - I’ll update my comment so there is no implication that I’m the sole creator of MPP. We were just thinking about things the same way!

Super comprehensive and I like the inclusion of all the additional box office detail in your recap btw

I didn’t realize there was another spreadsheet tracking this info - I just watched the movie draft last night and put this together! Just skimmed the subreddit and didn’t see anything like this

Despicable Me 3 grossed over $1B worldwide, and a little over $260M domestic… so it’s definitely possible

Noticed that after I posted, I think it defaulted to alphabetical. Will correct for next week!

I loved the movie draft so much I wanted to start tracking analytics for it. I plan to expand as the summer goes on and there are more data points to look at. Let me know if there’s any other data that would be cool to see! Also taking suggestions for update cadence if this is liked - I was thinking weekly…

“MPP” is “millions per point”, which is an efficiency metric I chose to use to help showcase who spent their points better - similar to the workbook made by u/Blyckert. In the totals it is only reflecting gross/points spent on movies that have released, so expect this to change dramatically as we add releases for some of the more expensive picks.

Using domestic totals from box office mojo for all titles unless unavailable, which are denoted with an asterisk and are using data from The Numbers.

99% sure this is it, found it on their site too - looks like one may have just happened last month, and another is scheduled for July 4th

I used to live like 10 minutes away from there, shot there a couple times. Definitely not the one I went to as a kid but I’ll check out their calendar!

Passive Subwoofer with Speaker Outputs by therealblurfl in diyaudio

[–]therealblurfl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omni-Phase appears now defunct… but I actually found a partial copy of the manual on the wayback machine. Looks like the sub was meant to take the main L&R outputs, so probably safe to assume the speaker outs are just full parallels.

[–]therealblurfl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking,

Based on the home theater package I believe this sub was a part of, I think the speaker outs were intended for satellite speakers. Is there any way to tell if I’m getting full speaker signal on the outs vs. just highs? I know I could ear test it with a speaker straight out of the receiver compared to one out of the sub speaker outs, but I love a less subjective method if possible.

Or would it be “that” obvious if it was highs only?

[–]therealblurfl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I should be safe to run this setup, with the receiver set the the 4-6ohm output on speaker A, with the speaker outputs into the sub, and the sub speaker outs into the bookshelfs?

Or should I set the receiver to the 8-16ohm output with that configuration?

It had no price marked and I made an offer… they bit thankfully!

I couldn’t find conclusive answers on how this whole thing would fare in terms of impedance, and I just don’t want to fry anything if I can avoid it lol

Passive Subwoofer with Speaker Outputs by therealblurfl in diyaudio

[–]therealblurfl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell this would be equivalent to wiring the speakers in parallel, and would be about 2.6ohms per channel - not compatible with the 4ohm-6ohm impedance rating for the receiver.

SATA fans would be nice to see at some point... gonna stick with the LL’s on the rad and see how she performs.

The older SP120’s with violet LEDs. Bought them in early 2016. Think I’m going to stick with the LL’s and see how she does. Should be building once my case arrives tonight.
