I've finally decided BS in biochem, and if I decide to go further after that then it meets the requirements for physiology department and other med.

I figure chem and bio should keep me interested.

All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

Can't cook meth with Physics. 'Nuff said.

Not if you suck at Physics. ALL Chem was determined and developed by Physicists. In fact I think every reaction and interaction that ever happens in Chem can be mathematically proven in about 2 pages of Physics. Applying it of course isn't so easy.

really contemplating a mac Mini carputer install.. You can get an old one for around 100 off of ebay, but the touch screen is 3x the cost of the mac mini lol.. Looking like a total of 400$ which isn't too bad.. but damn

Mac Mini + MiniDsp + double din Lilliput screen = hmm...

IMO that'd be dumb. MiniPC gives you WAY more freedom. Carputer without the capability of serious custom DSP capability is completely backwards. Might as well just run a tablet if you are looking at Apple stuff.

I think I would rather have a tab set up though. Much better interface, as it is designed for your fingertips.

Very true, I want to use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 VZW edition.. but it's just a hair too big for my dash. Built in 4g/3g +wifi + Gps would be PERFECT, Only issues would be that the volume/power knobs are on the side. probably could fab something up to push the buttons.. or go directly to the board and extend them to the front of the dash.. I could sell it for what I got it for (200$) but I don't think I could get much better for the price/size/options.

I personally would never use the volume control on a tab anyways. Analog control ftw. Add a minidSP and you have both.

Hmm, never heard of a MiniPC, I'll look it up

[///M5 2,833]

ie, a small format pc. Not a miniPC per se, but same sort of thing.

I was looking for an android option but to no avail with touchscreen support. A tablet is the best option

Kershaw have a good name. My wife almost exclusively carries spiderco.

The one thing I can say about carry knifes is that if you don't want to wear is, it isn't of any value.

I mostly have ultra cheepo folders and multi tools in the truck. I just have 3-4. My problem is I forget to grab it on the way out the door. Having a few in the vehicle is my next best.

I like my Kershaws. I have several scallions, chives, and leeks. I use them at work and in my shops. They sharpen quick and easy (I am an old school stone sharpener). The quick actions can be picky, but as long as they are kept clean and lubed they work great. But they tend to dull easily.

I use the paper wheels at the bottom of this page. I can literally shave with my pocket knife.

When I get back in town I can get the old lady to hold the camera and I can do it on my face if need be

Skip the face. If you are serious with your blade.....MANSCAPE.

I can believe it. You can shave with my knives too. The paper is impregnated with a compound, and compounding really makes an edge sharp. I use a heavy rubber pad to finish my knives in a very similar fashion.

Get an ASIO capable sound card and with the right software (audio repeater / virtual cable and audiomulch) you can pretty much kill a single mini-dsp. That's how we did it in the 06 Passat install and it's a 4-way system.

Will look into that.

Could grab a Nexus 7 for $250 and add an external HDD if needed

and it was already said lol

4 inches of snow so far. It took me 5 minutes to install the studded wheel in the front of the bike and then I took it for a test. It's absolutely brilliant, brakes work, grip is great, if I hit a snow drift at speed it doesn't want to slide around like with a non-studded wheel.

All in all a very well spent $20 and 2 hours of work.

Now if I could find a knobby tire for the rear it would be great.

What size knobby do you need? In the winter I run chains and studs usually, but play on ice a lot.

26x2.something

I tried zipties quickly today but they catch on the brakes, since I didn't have time to get the brakes out of the way.

With 9-10 inches of powder I really need good traction, it doesn't work with only the front studded.

Pretty much ANY mountain bike tire will work that isn't a 29'er. Are you using a studbacker strip? Personally I really like the chains as well. Both studs and chains are a bit unpredictable on raw cement, but the combo on ice is sweet. For snow really you just need to be in the right gear and be diligent.

A 28 is pushing it

I've studded my own tire using screws.

I head you on the right gear, although starting in high gear is not trivial, especially with a road tire in the rear.

[Adrian_D 520]

Adrian, this is what you need.

Overkill

Bare minimum. :-D

Huh? All Mt. Bike tires in the US are 26"ers. 29'ers of course not included.
