    I fucking hate tabs. Why did anyone ever think they were a good idea. Someone without a widescreen obviously.

    I just picked up a shirt, a sport coat and some pants today. ROFL. Of course, you will cry when you hear what I paid.

  8. Almost right. 3dB with some time separation is NOT an audible difference. I would expect that you hear no difference between the two amps and in your situation I personally would WAY rather run the Kicker.

    Lord the Typhoon is fucking ravaging. I've met a few people whose families are out of home, missing and potentially worse. Flying from Malaysia to Singapore today as well....then to Japan, or maybe to Japan. I am not going anywhere near that shit.

    I love asia, sort of sad to leave Malaysia tomorrow. Getting used to street food everyday. Between here and China you don't need restaurants, nor jack shit for money

    Interesting. I a 210 and about 20lbs overweight at 6'7"At 190 you would be death camp looking. At 250 I was at 34" waist.... I cannot imagine 210 at 6'2" I was 6'5" and 120 at one point in my life.

    Move to Seattle, you can grow whatever you want although availability is such that it isn't worth it. Flavor cycling is tough when its your own.

    I know I'm late to the discussion on this, But, you never want arch support. In reality, all you NEED is a sole that is tough enough for the terrain you are walking on, no heel and room for your toes to spread out. Most of the time a slab of leather is all you need. Off road good thin rubber is good for added traction. However, good luck finding shoes like that. Merrel Trail Floves fit the bill, Vibram Five Fingers and the Altra shoe lines looks good. For boots/ dress shoes good luck, bunch of hippies making weak stuff I would expect to last for a couple months. I rarely find a reason to disagree with you, but as someone with horribly pronated feet I MUST have arch support. My feet are so flat that when I walk barefoot my ankles twist and hurt. It causes me to walk funny which creates pain in my hips and lower back. If I don't use arch support I get leg cramps as well. Another issue for me is the way my arch rolls over the inside of a shoe with no support. I used to go through a set of shoes every month at work... it wasn't from the sole collapsing, but from the inside of my arch rolling the leather over the arch of the sole and tearing the seams of the shoe. Yes, I was wearing wide shoes. My wife used to laugh at how flat my feet were and how I walked when barefoot. Now she finds nothing comical about how awful my feet are. For ages I used custom support. But about 5 years ago I found superfeet. Every shoe I own has superfeet in them. In my case, with such extreme pronation, an arch support is essential. As far as those of you with even just decent arches, your situation may be different... but I will never personally know. From what I have seen, the people who have the lowest arches are the ones that never go barefoot. From how I understand it, if you walk barefoot (and mid-foot/forefoot strike) you work the many muscles and tendons in your feet which ends up strengthening and tightening them. I've actually heard of people who started going "barefoot" and ended up loosing 2 shoe sizes as their feet developed an arch. On the flip side of that, my boss was talking about how his feet had a growth spurt in his older age. Ironically, it happened around the time he switched to a desk job. Of course, everyone is different and you have probably spent more time then I have been alive figuring out what works for you. So not saying that going barefoot would solve your problems, but at least it's food for thought. Unrelated. I go barefoot, wear sandals, or leather dress skids. My feet are strong, still super flat.

Minimalistic shoes are TERRIBLE for standing in. Find for developing muscles and such where you should need them, but for what we mostly do we aren't moving and on shitty surfaces. For that you better support your feet otherwise when you get older you won't be happy.

    6.5 components under $300

    More so than the drivers. WAY. Also have to realize that basically 100% of component sets have horseshit crossovers really fucking with your potential. Some UBER cheap drivers and the right install/crossover build can KILL even WAY more expensive component sets.
