    I had no idea. I thought the entire story was going to be around the darling Bunny Girl. Oh well... =/

    You've ready the LN or manga about this? I don't really know where the story is going, nor did I realize they were going to transition to another girl. Bunny girl is best girl, though.

    Stick with SAO. It definitely started off slow, but this arc is incredible. So much shit happens. It's pretty sweet. But at the same time, it's nothing at all like the previous arcs.

    American Made (2017)

    I just re-watched this tonight after seeing it when it was first in theaters. It was still a damn fun ride. Tom knows how to make a very enjoyable movie, regardless of the subject. This is like Lord of War meets American Gangster meets Blow. Hell, throw a little Naked Gun in there for the lolz.

    Maybe I'll just rewatch from the beginning and stop right before the new season? I wonder if they'll get the idea?

    Men's Bar Soap for Showering

    No luck. She was saying "yeah, it's supposed to have no smell right away. People don't want to walk around smelling like a wet fireplace." Worth a try, at least.

    Win. I should file a similar complaint. Free soap is free.

    I'll be hitting up Taco Bell for lunch today. I never win the game systems, and I don't even care about the Xbox One X, but whatever.

    Men's Bar Soap for Showering

    Mine weren't, and the pine tar smell did drop pretty quickly as well. Usually by the time I was out of the bathroom after drying off and getting dressed, the smell was completely gone.

    good call. 60 cycles per second regardless of the voltage. My bad.

    I'm comparing a regular half cheesesteak from Philly with what Jersey Mikes offers. It's close enough that I'm happy, but not perfect. I was driving around a manager from there the other day. Turns out they have a place in Jersey that makes all of the dough for the entire franchise. They...

    It's the only cheesesteak place of value out here. Honestly, it's "good enough". I get a taste of home without too much trouble. Though realistically, the chicken cheesesteak is a better choice, due to it being loaded with chicken. The normal steak version is lacking in volume.

    What's with the pixelated buttons above your thumb? And more importantly, how does the picture have anything to do with your post?

    Car Audio wiring question.

    Combination of problems with that. First up, a sub really isn't meant to see frequency above 80 hz. The overall size of the speaker just can't realistically move that fast. 500-80 range is for the mid-bass. Where as tweeters go everywhere from 20k down to 500. So yeah, that was moving WAY...

    Car Audio wiring question.

    That's pretty much exactly what I said, but worded differently. I talked about both clipping music and excursion (topping and bottoming out). And yes, I'm well educated on the audio front. The other issue with unlimited power comes from the physical makeup of a speaker not being able to...

    Antiperspirant/Deodorant discussion

    Hands down, salt based deodorant. This shit is amazing. It keeps the stink away, even though I continue to sweat. Here's a link to the female one, but it's 100% the same as the male. Just in a pink case instead of a dark gray one. I'm linking this because the male stuff is currently really...

    Men's Bar Soap for Showering

    I'm getting close to finishing up the last bar (Oatmeal). This is definitely my 3rd favorite bar of the bunch. It makes a lot of lather and has chunks of oatmeal in it, which I think acts as an exfoliant (not 100% on that). This bar works well, but it'll be gone soon. Next up is the mint Dr...

    Car Audio wiring question.

    What actually kills a speaker is clipping. Any time the sound a speaker tops or bottoms out making a |_| instead of a U with the signal, that flat spot does nothing but generates heat. As long as there is movement, there's no heat. Heat will eventually melt the voice coil (well, damage it)...

    Depends how far along the light novel is. That's what causes a manga or anime to be created. Light Novels fuel everything.

    Very true, but they did say Goblin King. He's easily 10 levels above the other goblins (equal to a platinum adventurer). He might have some AE spell that they wanted a priest around for, just to be safe. The group's build looks a little lacking as well. Ranger & 2 warriors. Goblin Slayer...

    Car Audio wiring question.

    When dealing with factory systems, it's a difficult thing to say for sure. I know many "premium audio" systems have independent smaller amps across every speaker. Definitely on the sub. In some cases they work fine, assuming you just connect the lead cable up, telling the amp to turn itself...

    That's something I would never even consider doing, but it's fascinating none the less. Very interesting. EDIT: Oh yeah, my computer hasn't reset since that first and only time when I fixed the RAM. All is good now. I'm considering a new video card at some point, but I don't really "need" one.

    Regarding Goblin Slayer - That elven arrow was pretty sweet. And the episode ended on a high point. The guitar sound as the group left the clearing got me pumped... but then episode over.

    Pats is shit. Geno's is also. You want a good steak? My favorite thus far is from this real piece of garbage hole in the wall place called Liberty Steaks & Hoagies on MacDade Blvd over by Widener University. It was incredible. I like that they actually have a large chunk of beef & use a...
