Sometimes even the most high quality speakers can't project the dirtiness of dubstep that this little setup does.

I am pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic. That setup surely sounds terrible hence the "dirtiness."

Billith · 2012-05-25T17:42:34.200364+00:00

Shoot, you could even try that amp as the sub if you REALLY want to.

I really doubt a guitar amp would be any good as a sub.

There's no downvote button in /r/dubstep to downvote the jerks. Unless you use the compact site or disable CSS.

There's NO WAY your bill should be that much in an apartment unless you have your heat cranked all the time or you run a bunch of PCs 24/7 or something.

I lived in a 1-br apartment with electric heat, stove, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc over the winter and my bill was never over about $40/month.

I also had a HTPC and a couple of cable boxes (30W a piece) running most of the time for the TV.

Either you have faulty wiring or a faulty meter. (or a bad meter reader if you don't have a smart meter yet)

therzr16 · 2012-05-25T17:34:27.507959+00:00

But they say with a smart meter you can't steal power?

Bullshit. The smart meter isn't going to stop someone from tapping off your lines somewhere. But it's more likely that the meter is wrong, or that you have faulty wiring somewhere.

What makes that specific kind so worth looking for? There must be a dozen other ones that are easily available. Blue Monkey is the best tasting IMO, although it can be pricey.

Except that the FI is well-known for being right-wing pro-business schills.

I would recommend Free Geek if you want something dirt cheap, but there's also http://thehackery.ca/

They're like soft strands of robot hair.

Well this got weird, fast.

orngejaket · 2012-05-25T13:33:21.740495+00:00

1500W plus a stove element would probably be enough power. I can boil about 5 gallons with my stovetop alone, and an immersed element would be much more efficient.

Heymarisela · 2012-05-25T13:28:40.971671+00:00

As a matter of fact, I do mind.

Musical note.

Didn't Beethoven stop playing and turn to composing when he went deaf?

OrwellQuinn · 2012-05-24T21:29:07.565165+00:00

Well played, sir.

mrZNS · 2012-05-24T13:18:37.307004-07:00

Did not know about that.

droelf1213 · 2012-05-24T19:50:54.953825+00:00

Oh, that was the solo price. It says it's $185/hour for plane+instructor. I looked into doing a private pilot license once but changed my mind pretty quickly when I saw how much it costs.

Mapes · 2012-05-24T12:42:55.319675-07:00

About 350km

That only applies where buying property is realistic. $300k will get you a crappy condo way out in the suburbs around here, while that $1500 would get you a top of the line apartment downtown. $1000 will get you a good apartment downtown, and $600 will get you a room in a dingy shared basement someplace else not far from downtown.

droelf1213 · 1 day

$132/hour around here.

No shit, they aren't charities. They deserve to make a profit on the phone, and there's more than just parts cost to make a phone too. Got to pay for all those engineers who designed it too. If you think their markup is too high, then don't buy their products.

I can't imagine playing that thing sitting down, unless you're like 4 feet tall.

I think if you can set the dead-band on your controller fairly tight (like 1 degree or less), the overshoot won't be too bad and it will stabilize fairly quickly.

You would need a lot smarter controller to reach your target with no over/undershoot. Some guy on here posted one that did it with an Arduino or something a while back.

Mine sounded kind of like what happens when the batteries die in electronic toys, or when you squeeze a cat.

I could have sworn that I saw two when I was there to get a ride on one of them. But that was ~5 years ago now.
