    Just to pop out of nowhere and derail your conversation, Rob – how does insurance work for something like this in the US? Does having one or two surgeries disqualify you for further surgery because of some “preexisting” bullshit?
    In Canada we are covered completely for surgeries/drugs/anything in hospital if they are “medically necessary” so basically anything which could potentially cause more damage if left untreated (no dental coverage by law unless performed in hospital)

    Thank you, this is much less hair-pullingly slow

    God damn Brian I should be paying tuition for your posts! Damn, I had figured the 18 would be too huge for this application and I think you’re right. I do have two 10″ woofers I could do this with as well, I just want to find some stupid application for this monster driver I have sitting around. I’ll go back to the drawing board and get something new figured out given the mountain of info you gave me here.

    I’m pretty sure I would pass on the Ewan McGregor blowjob too.

    Well then, I won’t complain about a little delay for a while. I’ll pretend I’m accessing super secret data that has to be fetched by a tape machine and loaded

    They gave me a “Bachelors of Science with Specialization in Computing Science” so yeah B.Sc computing science.

    I was in the “don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do with this degree boat” until my fourth year, when I decided to go into health research. It’s an application of the logical and algorithmic thinking I learned through the computing degree. I recommend talking to other undergrads or graduates to see what they have done with the degrees, also find something you can be passionate about too of course

    Update: Everything seems to be moving faster now. I checked on IE on this computer when I was first having the trouble, and it was the same.

    You sound like me in my first couple years of university, the killer years of expecting to half fail a course but eventually getting a good mark because everyone tanks on the final. You call them papers, that sounds more official than here.

    If you ever need help with logic maths or any computing based courses let me know. I know a bit about environmental science and astronomy as well if you end up with anything like that. Statistics too.

    Where the hell is Novitzky anyways

    Above is the output from when I posted the thread. Interesting that the POST is shorter than all the gets.

    Your “if I’d do it again” thing sounds kinda similar to what I was thinking.

    woofer

    So this is a quick paint mockup (I am sure it won’t be that fucked-up looking lol), the black box will have the woofer on the inside, with those snakey black things being lathed legs I’d make, basically the inverse of your box you showed.

    One woofer, inside that big black thing in the middle. I initially thought of a 6th order or quasi 6th so it fires into the inside then has a port on the side of the table. I considered sealing it completely but I think the woofer is too large to work sealed (we’re dealing with 18″ here). With the sixth order it hides the woofer inside which is what I want.

    I have a ton of dampening stuff I bought for my trunk when I did my last install, and I’ll get the best wood for the job (dad/grandpa are carpenters). I’ve been looking at some other builds online and they are nice, but many use glass or have the woofer firing straight up or on the outside of the box. I’ll keep looking around though. I found a few amps online but I’m working with my electrical engineer buddy to build a system that will power my 12 volt amp for that woofer.

    You could always throw your money at Elon Musk and make him create a flying car for you. Probably an easier commute.

    Dangit, Robbie (read in a Hank Hill voice), you should know how to stop things from going wrong the first time

    Also nice to hear another new mini show. I used to break out all the time when I was still on sugar and it never had anything to do with dairy. I avoid it now by adding lemon juice to my water, I go through a 500ml bottle of lemon juice every couple weeks (something to do with citric acid). I haven’t had a blackhead/whitehead/anything for a few months. It sounds like yours might be more of a chemical imbalance thing, so what do I know, I’m not a doctor (yet)
