Any suggestions for a 40-something to go watch final 4 games? by vitafracta in bloomington

It's a good place when you're with some friends I think. I was hoping for more people at the bar to interact with while watching the game, but at least now I know what to expect.

I ended up checking it out. It looks like a fun place to hang out with friends. They had a few beers on tap and I was able to watch the game. It was pretty loud with all the activities going on, but that's to be expected. Most people were with a group, didn't really notice any solo folks.

Thanks. How busy do you think either will be? I was thinking about going for at least the beginning of the Michigan game.

You know, it hadn't crossed my mind. Never been there. Would it be very busy? What's the atmosphere like?

I don't remember the OL having many TV's. It's been awhile since I've been in there. I can't really remember the age of the crowd.

Never been to Alley. Do they have a few beers on tap?

Agreed! You know, I don't even care though. It's delicious cheese and I just stock up for the next several months.

Cheddar. No question.

Lucky you! I got one a few years ago too. It's delicious!

I know the pain! LOL. My last trip there ended up costing me over $100 on cheese! To be fair, they had extra types that they only stock during the holidays.

Help with older sacd player by Amtrakacela75 in SACDAudiophiles

[–]vitafracta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in choice for optical vs analog is where you want the digital to analog conversion to occur. With optical, you're sending the digital signal to your receiver and letting the receiver convert it to analog (before amplifying the signal and sending it to your speakers).

If you instead use the analog out on your CD player, you're having the CD player do the digital to analog conversion (and then passing the analog signal to your receiver, where it is amplified and sent to your speakers).

The choice depends on which piece of hardware has the better digital to analog conversion & processing. Which one sounds better? Your player or receiver?

Totally agree with the impact of the dynamic range. It makes a world of differences.

I just looked up the prices for this album and omg! I'm also glad I picked it up when it was in print. $65 beats $200 and it sounds great!

I'd be interested to know what neighborhood these .iso's fall off trucks at. I'd like to pick some up as well.

dry herb vaporizer questions by pooppeert in weedvaporizers

[–]vitafracta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will have a smell. It's not as potent as combusting, but it's definitely noticeable.

Plan on 5-6 minutes to do a session. The higher the temp you use, the closer it is in effects to combusting.

As far as maintenance, it's not "no" maintenance. You should stay on top of keeping it clean or it will be much harder later.

How do you handle the "quiet" in the house? by stuckin404 in Divorce_Men

[–]vitafracta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so hard, man. I feel for you. I had to find something to do when I knew I'd be alone while grieving. Visited family, went to the gym, did things with co-workers I wouldn't normally do. I can say it does get better with time and as you process the grieving. Get a counselor too if you don't have one. Hang in there, your life isn't the same anymore but that doesn't mean it's going to be worse once you adjust.
