Uh...I'm a long-time lurker, some-time poster. So percentagewise, I'm moving on up today! It really is amazing what you can learn if you just stand back and watch. HTF is an outstanding source of info. It's also a great best place to shop of used A/V equipment. Thanks everybody. :emoji_thumbsup:

Denis, Given our current technology the idea of interstellar space travel seems far fetched. But like us, the Taino people living in the Caribbean in 1490 didn't envision a vehicle for transporting people across the Atlantic Ocean, or for that matter, guns that could kill a man with a ball of...

With the exception of Jared Diamond, I can't think of any other scientist who could take such complex material and make it easily accessible for the lay person. We learned a good deal from the man, he will be missed. :frowning:

As others have said, know in advance how much you are willing to spend on the car. You certainly don't want to pay any more than dealer invoice (which really isn't their cost in the first place). Bring a cell phone with you, and a good book. Be prepaired to spend a long day negotiating. After...

I recently bought a used Yammy M35 that dates to the '80s. I'm the third owner (the second owner claimed not to have used it much). I haven't had it very long, but I'm very happy with its performance so far. Given that you can pick these amps up pretty cheaply, I think its worth the risk that it...

Micah, so go blow off work and go see a movie. And remember...You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Paul, Ditto what Jeremy said. Why not go with a set of the HTD III bookshelf speakers as surrounds? At only $199 for the pair they're well worth it. The cost really wouldn't be much more than what you'd pay for the speakers you mentioned you're considering. Of course if the Level III's...

Yeah, Delaware was once a part of PA. The "lower counties" never really considered themselves to be part of the original colony and were largely a nuisance to William Penn. Delaware's curved upper boundy was set as a 15 mile arc from the town of New Castle. It's the only curved boundry in the...

Jon_Are, When it comes to meteor showers I'd have to disagree with the skypub.com comment, "If flashy visuals are what you're after, go watch TV." Everyone I know who has seen a good Persied meteor shower, with its 50 to 60 meteors an hour has been impressed. No one should miss the chance to...

I donated an old sail boat to the Salvation Army a few years back. As far as the IRS is concerned just be sure your valuation is reasonable.

Anyone planning on watching the skies Sun. and Mon. night? There probably won't be a better meteor storm for another 100 years or more. Check out this link for details: Link Removed Last year was a bust for me due to heavy cloud cover. But 1999 was another story, with lots of huge...

I've rarely met a beer I didn't like (other than the mass produced crap put out by Miller Brewing, Anheuser-Busch and the like). But since I've had two Guinness already tonight, I'd vote for the black stuff as well. Sláinte (:-{d)

Bummer. Although he wasn't know for the volume of his work, what Kesey did produce was outstanding. Cuckoo's Nest was an excellent film. The book was even better. Mmmmmmmmmmm, Juicy Fruit....
