Will $250 get me something that'll support my amps?

True, but just because we can, does it mean we should? I guess it depends on the technology, I'd be all for more offshore wind farms that some people are opposed to, but drilling in national wildlife refuges is a little meh... The crisis is that the old business model is basically holding us hostage to a corporate system that's going to keep charging and charging us. If large amounts of people broke off from that, we'd have some very interesting results... This isn't related to vehicles per say, but the cost of energy in general is making a lot of renewables suddenly very affordable. The last time I was at my folks' place, we spec'ed out a recirculating solar hot water system, at current propane rates ($3.50/gal) it'd pay for itself in five years. And that's only going to get better.

Going to a speaker-presentation type thing in a few hours... The last time I went to one of these I was way overdressed compared to everyone else, this time I'm saying fuck it and going in jeans. And watch, I'll be totally out of place.

Which ID model? Not really useful to just compare companies like that... I have to say, the IDW is sweet

I tripled baffled my 6.5" enclosures They're quite acoustically dead, now

It's your lack of midbass...as we said in the last thread

I remember talking to this girl next to me before it started...she had mentioned she had taken it once before... "Oh, what'd you get the first time?" "...800" Mmmhmmm...

I took it before they added the writing section...think I got a 1350 or something like that combined, so not great, but the language sections were laughably easy and I didn't care enough on the math sections to really try A writing section would have been nice

I was in private schools from 5th grade until I graduated, so I avoided most of that The SAT was about it. And that was a joke.

I think infinite baffle it does great

By a "system" do you mean the entire system, or just part of it You didn't mention anything about a front stage, is that important to you or not?

go bring him a turbin I don't personally care for a lot of Obama's ideas, but I thought that whole issue was stupid. Who really gives a flying fuck what religion our president is? I'd vote for a Muslim in a heartbeat if he/she had some sensible ideas and sounded like someone who'd do a good job. In fact, with the countries the West has had a habit of pissing off the last couple centuries, having someone who might have been exposed to a different world view could be a very good thing.

That's part of the reason why I don't drive to campus anymore. The other is that I can't even fill up my tank at once anymore You know things are getting bad when you have to stop, re-swipe the card and start the pump again because it's programmed to stop at $75...

They're kicking our ass in both sugar and oranges

A pure EV can be useful for something. Take someone who's just driving around town or commuting a short distance every day. An under-50 mile round trip can easily be done in an EV, and could be charged by a renewable source to offset the waste in the power grid. The biggest problem right now is the lifespan of the batteries, but that'll improve...right now, even heavy SLA's will last longer than most people keep their cars Ultimately, I think veggie oil/other biologically derived fuels are going to be the future. Actually, it seems like this is one time where America's gluttonous habits could come in handy - the fast food industry is a huge producer of exactly the fuel we need

The price of a new Mag is significantly less than they were before, and the performance is better

Hm?

Around here that would have been a $40 ticket if you're lucky, tow if you're not

Not allowed in the rules

What have you heard that you liked? Any particular reason for going with 6x9's? Going with a 7" midbass would give you more options

Waking up at 2pm = bad

There are some very scary people out there

Holy shit... http://www.boingboing.net/2008/04/08/ill-r...nique-davi.html

Holy shit, this wood filler came out nice on pine. Still not sure what I'm going to use on the Sandeply. A light oak stain came out too yellowy on the test pieces I was doing, maybe Danish oil would be darker...
