  1. Ordering a pair of Acoustic Energy AE-1 speakers tomorrow for my desktop. They'll be driven by my RME ADI-2 Pro FS, which I've been using with my headset setup (Bottlehead Mainline, FOCAL CLEAR PRO & Dan Clark (Mr. Speaker) ETHER C Flow headsets). As for my mike, I'm using an EV RE20 that I run through a Sound Devices USBPre 2. While it's not completely hooked up at the moment because I'm finishing wiring the lighting system on my "project," here's a pic of the layout: The desk lamp will be repurposed once the shelf lighting is functional. I've had my eye on the AE-1s for over a year now and tomorrow I'm finally going to order them.
  2. Some of us use both, as well as a portable oil-less panhead compressor when the going gets really tough.
  3. Yeah, I was ready to ask for a refund from the seller if the package he sent me wasn't here by the end of this month. What with the Pandemic shipping delays the situation was somewhat understandable, but for whatever reasons, items from Germany were taking the longest to get here and items I purchased from countries like Russia and the Ukraine were arriving a lot faster. ...and that was before that container ship got stuck in the Suez As for creepy, could be, depending on your pov. I won't be doing any real brain surgery though. OTOH...
  4. One of the last pieces of my puzzle that I've been waiting on today showed after 90 days in transit from Germany: Abby Normal's brain. Just need to dress up the cloche and its base now and add fluids.

    Guess I'll toss my two pennies in: I served 20 years in USAF maintenance specializing in airborne radar, navigation, and communication systems, and retired in '92 Half of that was on A-10s at RAF Bentwaters (2.5 years), following by one four year tour each at Forward Operating Locations (FOLs) Noervenich and Leipheim in Germany. Also spent two years at Soesterberg in Holland, and two years at Torrejon, near Madrid. Now you know where I got my sense of humor from.
  6. The ac lamp test diode module that i'll be using with my take on rgb showed up today: The lamp colors are green (nominal), yellow (caution), red (warning), and blue (test), which will indicate whether temps have exceeded certain parameters (gpu/cpu temps; i'm pretty sure i can make that switchable). The lamps will be controlled by an arduino fed signals from the testbench/aquero6xt, and coupled to a relay module which will perform the actual switching of the AC voltage, I might also add a uva bulb to the side which would give me five total, or gyrbu (e.g., rugby; a Pook™ suggestion).
  7. ^Plenty of white noise there to help you sleep. Pretty cool
  8. I wouldn't quite say that. Maybe some additional impetus will help: Not quite finished, but getting there (pardon the awful pix; also, couldn't get everything in one shot): The desk I've had for years and it serves its purpose. As for hardware, there's too much to list, so I'll leave it at that. As for some of the items in the display, here's how I describe them: My collection of balls: A pair of brass balls; Balls of steel; I've even got balls that come in different colors. Red balls, blue balls, and radioactive green. --for the discerning collector of fine things. An authentic Viking key from ~ 1000 A.D. Because you never know when you might have to unlock a Viking. A Viking axe. Because you’ll need to give a Viking something to do if and when you unlock him. Meat hooks for when the Candyman visits; and a few more dental tools just in case friends stop by someday. Pulled teeth. Because sometimes you have to pull teeth to get what you want. The next best thing to pigs with wings. Vintage coffin nails and graveyard dirt in vintage fluorescent radioactive jar, right next to a lump of uranium ore. They all somehow seemed to fit. Everyone should have at least one BIG bug. Here we have a collection, and they’re all named Hank (one’s confused about its gender). Glass. Lots and lots of glass. Because it’s made from sand and you can pound it. A midget washboard. For the midget guest room. Ode to the CCP’s Beer’s Virus Pandemic of 2020—TBD: The Reliable TP (toilet paper) holder and a pencil. Because anything associated with wiping your butt should be reliable; and TP is something you can count on (that’s what the small pencil is for); Community wiping sticks with obvious grip ends. They were good enough for the Samurai, so they're good enough for me; Spare antique, perforated TP, some of the first. So you don’t have to compete with anyone for it anytime, anyplace; Electric corn cob wiping device. Powered by the grid; The three seashells. In case the power goes out and you’re fresh out of fresh wiping sticks; One each ex-live bat. Because, well, you know. A pack of condoms. Because s***bags have learned to come in packs. A vintage, civil war era lead smelter. Because I did that when I was younger too (I took the lead). Can also be used in custom fitting dentures. A large, vintage, wooden meat tenderizer. For those who like to pound their meat before they cook it and eat it. That's it for now, more to come. Time to get my KPE 3090 working.
  9. Thanks It's just one part of a big project I've been working on since November: Looks like you're going to be busy as well:
  10. ^lol. the following arrived yesterday (sans beer's virus):
  11. bant coz yeah, pookie can be a real crackerjack sometimes...
  12. Ah, understood, E. Just sent a little something to help with the general effort.
  13. So, where is the donate button, I can't find it? I'd like to contribute some green stuff to the effort (which can be exchanged for a wide array of other multicolored stuff).
  14. Haven't posted anything over here in a while (been busy with certain esoteric aspects of my projects--see a small sample of them below), but as J7SC already knows thanks to his participation in the ban thread over on the other forum, I'm down to no. 7 on the "unofficial" EVGA 3090 KPE notification list. I should have the opportunity to purchase one during the next drop EVGA makes of the KPE, which could be this week or a month from now.
  15. Yep, half the page's source code builds out, then stops. Only a 500 server error is showing up in the dev console.
  16. Sure. I'll use it to keep track of the alternating current used by certain circuits in my project. Hope that helps.
  17. ^^^well here's a blast from the past: Posted it over on the other site; figured I'd post it here too. Not quite a Kill-A-Watt meter, but it predates even me and will be used in my project. It's a completely restored 1926 Westinghouse OB electric meter that actually works. Not here yet, but should be before the holiday next week: Comes with new copper seals as well.
  18. Hi folks, been busy, more deliveries today, but we're getting there (Gollum and I). Just a quick update. Just ordered muffler bearings. small ones with 8mm openings to use for the secret "rgb" lighting control portion of my build to route ac and/or dc cabling; the larger one, well, can't have a big muffler bearing build if you don't have a big muffler bearing: That's it for now, gotta run.
  19. One of my favorite movies growing up as a kid Rumor has it that the science behind that temporal displacement device helped spawn the basis for the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator (which in turn helped create the demand for muffler bearings (or vice versa)): ...which brings us to current day tech, with the advent of the Turbo Encabulator 2.0. Now anyone, anywhere, whether rich, poor, or somewhere inbetween, can have their cake and eat it too:
