    Yeah, great end to that guy. That said, it was a great villain. Instantaneous regeneration is way too OP though. It would have also liked seeing him destroyed over and over again until his body began self-cannibalizing itself just to regenerate. That would be sweet as well. Then when he was...

    Car Audio wiring question.

    Also, never run your power cables parallel with your audio feed. They should cross at a +, and never run ||. A + cross of wires gives the power less chance to magnetically pull the electrons in the source material, thus distorting the sound (engine noise). The easiest way around this if you...

    That VR system was pretty sweet. And I enjoyed the episode. Even though it just started off some random time after the last episode ended. Donkey Doug!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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)...

    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.
