It's been raining for 5 days here :(

Good weather for studying. I'd hate having to stay inside when it's sunny and warm outside.

anyone here use electric rasors? Mine just crapped out, and I need a new one.

I want to build a power center for my gear that will turn on the sub amp 5 seconds after my receiver turns on... And I want to use a rack amp. It would be nice if I could remotely turn on/off power for everything too.

Fairly easy to get a 110v relay. I will be controlling mine shortly that way.

Curious if by power center though you mean line conditioner as well. If so, let's just say my interest in piqued. :)

I'd like to have a line conditioner, not sure if I will though... Currently have a Adcom 515 power conditioner, might modify it.

I thought line conditioners were a bunch of malarkey. What will they do for me?

It depends on your power. Probably not necessary if you do the right steps, but in my old house you should have heard the ground loops without one. Yes I know pulling a fresh ground will also solve the issue, but it isn't always trivial to do.

Then I will probably end up with one.... Wouldn't a half way decent USP solve that issue though?

Line conditioners will take and clean up power that has inconsistencies in its wave forms, brown outs, stray voltages, or voltage on the ground. To my knowledge UPS do none of the above as their goal is to provide battery backup only.

The uber expensive ones are a marketing gimic though

My norelco's have always lasted long for me.

I am a fan of Braun. Classic German technology that is owned by an American Company :) (div of Proctor & Gamble)

They actually use one of our vibrometers in the design process and I have nothing but good to say about mine. I am too hairy for a Norelco, they jam on my beard and hurt.

I think my USP says on it that it will provide constant power "clean" power. It's for computers and it has an internal ground with all kinds of other buz type words.

My beard takes about a week to grow in, 2 and it is bushy. I am a hairy fuck.

Being able to turn any light on I want from the PC or a hand held remote is priceless though

If I use a Norelco or Panasonic the instant it hits the thick areas it grabs on and stops. Hurts like a beyotch. I had a Remington 15 years ago that worked, but didn't think that was pertinent to now.

I will add when it is really long I prefer a blade; however, I usually still quickly go over the goatee area with the electric first as it makes the blade WAY more comfortable.

I need to be single again. Too many complications to get there though.

For my heritage, from the neck down, I am surprisingly not euro hairy. :P:coolugh:

I got the Alexi Lawless goat for a few more days, then chop chop. It is what remains from lay-off beard.

back hair pics? hrm.... I dont' think even the hop wants that.

Maybe I'll bleach an SSA logo into it and cruise Tonka?

Lucky a-hole.

I'm the missing link from cave dweller to norse viking raider.

Which brings me to another point... in that greatest warrior show the vikings lost to samurai. I got all pissed.
