Ryan, how much do you want for the two subs?

I'll get home this afternoon and try to see if they fit.

If they fit, shoot me a PM.

Hey Ryan, just curious how many 90dolla10s do you have? Tried them out yet?

Shooting full frame?

Also the lighting in the dining room did you little to no favors.

I think all that you see here is FF. The motorcycle shot might be from the T4i.

For people I'm usually using the 6D. It's so much better for low light.

SOOOOOO much better.

I have some really great pics with the crop too however. I just have less room for error with light.

I will see if I can find some more. I found out that durring a PC crash I lost 3-4 months of really important pictures.

:-(

I need to get archive grade DVDs ASAP and just get it done. I dont know if archive grade DVDs exist yet.

Culling and burning 200+ gigs of data isn't exactly fun.

Hate to be that guy but didn't you scoff at my redundancy? System works well IMO and is SO MUCH faster than DVD's.

Yup. I will. Point out that I said redundancy is not effective as storage.

Archive disks are the the only way.

In my case I lost the data due to a system corruption and I think I erased the data while rebuilding my system... What I need is a redundant NAS and then to archive on a schedule.

 

Mine is an archive, but one I update regularly.

You said it wasn't knocking though.  First thing I asked.  Not that pre-detonation and knock is the same thing but they have pretty much the same effect and result.  Should be audible...

The other day some of you were talking about grass-fed vs corn-fed cattle in terms of taste and nutrition. I found multiple papers that showed some differences in fat composition and antioxidants. The authors didn't imply anything in terms to health, just said this is what we found, which is as expected. The differences in fat composition were insignificant in terms of health, but the amount of antioxidants found in the grass-fed cattle meat was. So what happens? A bunch of fucking idiots with blogs write that the grass-fed meat is healthier due to more antioxidants and cite the study as proof. Only problem is they don't know the antioxidant was an enzyme and when eaten is going to be cleaved the fuck up, so the point is null.

And they taste bad.  Same stupid fuckers that bred all of the flavor out of the cattle in the US.  The level of hatred I have for these fucks is not measureable.

 

The place we like to by meat from has local cows that they say are grass fed and grain finished and they are amazingly tasty. They don't have prime marbling, but I've accidentally overcooked the steak before and it was still extremely tasty. Of course, this is all compared to Walmart beef... (yes I can't stand it, and no, there's not really a better place in town. Yes, I know that is sad.)

 

When I see the pictures of the beef you ate in Japan, it looks amazing, but it makes me wonder how healthy that animal could have been. And don't you think the healthiness is somewhat "passed on" to the consumer? Maybe not.

 

Animals are super healthy.  Have to realize they have a wicked short life when grown for meat.

 

If cows have no marbling they taste like ass compared to ones that do.  Seriously.  And yes, Walmart meat is inedible.

Sean, I think that carbon fiber in that thread looks cheap like it came from Walmart.

 

Could be the photos, but I'm not a fan

Couldn't agree more.  I posted it because I think carbon fiber on parts you wouldn't make from carbon fiber is gay.  Obviously looking for something other than waht I have though.

Just scrolled own and saw the daytime pics. WAAAAAAAAAYYYY better. Though, would it look bad at night or is it just a flash issue?

Flash, still looks like shit IMO

I want to re-learn guitar just so I can play this.

That actually isn't all that hard.  Nailing the tone much harder than the fingering which is pretty mundane.  Don't get me wrong, for me to play it I'd need the music and a few days but wouldn't be all that bad.  An no, I don't know how to read tabs I meant music which I am sure doesn't exist.

Interesting, I only have one 10" and I'd charge more than $90 for it.

I can agree with all this. The meat at Sam's club isn't too bad, but still would prefer a real butcher.

I don't think there are archive grade HDs.

I honestly don't know that. I just assume anything magnetic will degrade.

Price matters, but only to a point. If the quality is superb, then I will gladly spend the cash.

Talked to BIL and a mechanic about the mustang. They both believe the pre-detonation is bc the distributor is off a tooth.

Hey J, i tried turning the key on and off without starting it and leaving the key on the third and fifth time, the dash lights did nothing like you said man...maybe theres another way?

It was worth a try. Only works on OBD not OBD-II. Most manufacturers switched in 95 I believe, The rest in 96. There was all kinds of crazy ways to retrieve the code back then. Honestly your best bet is to go to an auto parts store and see if you can get one on loan, or see if they will test it for you. Once you have those codes post them on here and everybody will be able to help you from there.

We are under a TOR:CON level 4 alert..

I have to ask, why do ppl live where there are tornado s? I just don't understand the logic is all. Bc its all you know perhaps?

Doesn't everywhere have its potential natural disasters?

 

Live near the coat and you have hurricanes. Though most people live near the coast.

Live out in Cali and you have earthquakes.

Live in the mid west and you have tornadoes.

Live up north and you have potentially dangerous snow storms.

Mud slides

Wild Fires

Floods

etc...

 

In most areas, your chance of natural disaster is low. Many houses around where I live were built in the early 1900's and they are still here (knock on wood).

 

We take risks everyday because it's low enough that we are wiling to face it. We drive a car everyday. People jump out of airplanes all the time.

I agree wholeheartedly with you MK. Our biggest disasters where I live are, the government let off an atomic bomb 1 mile underground in 1965, and there is a uranium tailing pile from the uranium mine that mined over 80% of the uranium used in the atomic bomb that ended WWII.

Wasn't that near Gypsum if I remember what you said?

Nope. Near Parachute on the Roan Plateau. Was their first attempt at fracking. They had a large no drill parameter for years, now they are allowed to drill within a mile on ground zero.

You are thinking on the headwaters of the colorado river, that starts in Sweetwater, near Gypsum.

Damn, Ive been wanting to put some subs in my s10 for so looong, now one of my 4x6 speakers in the dash took a shit on me, because I always have my music blasted, got a little US amp powering my dash and door speakers, not sure if i should replace the 4x6 with kicker which is what are currently installed, or try something else out, they do get kinda loud, but i think i want something louder. On another note by chance does anyone have any 12" or 15" subs laying around in good condition that there not using and would consider selling?

No pinging, knocking or chatter. Can run the timing up to 50 BTDC before hearing anything. The other direction it just dies. BIL schooled me good though, and filled in the blanks. So much easier to explain in person. Learned as much in a hour as I would of in a week of reading. My understanding is the explosion is going off waaay before TDC, and both valves are open at that time bc of the long duration.

I honestly did not check TDC when timing. I did pull the distributor, but just realigned it with where it was. I most likely missed the mark, as It ran better before I fucked with it. Mechanic was so confident that's what it was, he told me don't waste my time bringing to him, just reset it myself.

BIL is who gave me the car. He is the one that suggested the 650cfm holley, as he has had the same setup before. Mechanic said that size carb is fine too. Hopefully will have time soon to reset the distributor, than we will see.

Thats right. I remember you telling me about the uranium mine over pizza after the outline.
