Other types of food nights?

I know, I eat crap and don't cook. What about Chinese takeout sometime? Pizza from a national chain? The latter may be more divisive. Many people seem to tend to like one chain and think the other two are disgusting and won't eat it.

I got the tortillas, the meat (chikin), the cheese, and the seasoning. The meeting spot is Big Mike's site at 17:00.

Plumbing

I bought a pack of 100 crimp rings and a crimp tool for 1/2" PEX tubing, so if anyone needs an emergency fix for a leak, I got you covered.

Re: I'm trying to remember a movie

I figured out that it was The Couch Trip, and was Dan Aykroyd, not John Candy and Eugene Levy.

Re: Handling the DTS-HD Master 7.1 strange setup

This information is now useless, now that LAV codecs include licDCAdec.

Handling the DTS-HD Master 7.1 strange setup

It's not true that the 7.1 strange setup can't be decoded losslessly. It takes some time, but it can be done. What I do is move the weird channels to M$-defined ones. It might not be correct, but it's better than a low volume and weirdly-mixed 7.1 track, or downmixing it to 5.1 with a decoder I've n...

Hand sanitizer

Why is this stuff so trendy? Why are people obsessed with keeping their hands sanitized, but not necessarily clean? I am getting sick of constantly smelling the crap at work because all of the trendies are constantly using it.

I'm trying to remember a movie

I'm pretty sure it was a movie with John Candy and Eugene Levy. There was a guy (Walter Matthau, I think) dressed as either a disheveled priest or some kind of homeless guy wearing clothes from 2,000 years ago. He was protesting and going on about saving the eucalyptus or eucalypti. I believe he was...

New engine

I decided I am going to do an LS1 swap. They make over 100 hp more and will get much better has mileage. Seeing as how they are fairly new and are in Corvettes, OEM parts are going to be around for much longer than for an engine in a 30 year old bastard car.

I didn't find anything I actually needed. I found a hatch pull-down unit and appeared in good condition. I took everything but the switch to detect if it's popped or not. Well, that's why mine didn't work, and now it still doesn't. It works manually, and watching it towards the bottom it has some te...

Spectrum analyzer

I got this spectrum analyzer from youritronics. The creator said at some point there would be some version 3 with FFT. He's basically stated that he has no interest in advancing the project. The lack of FFT is UNACCEPTABLE to me. I know it's a flashy light show product, but I don't want low frequenc...

Junk yard weekend

I'm going to the junk yard this weekend to try to find some used car parts that I need. I need an entire rear axle. The brakes on my year of car suck and need the e-brake to be constantly used to self-adjust. This was corrected in the next model year, 1988. I need a new axle to fit the newer brakes....

Card theft

They said they can go back 60 days so if all goes well I should be getting back $119.76 that was stolen plus $105 in overdraft fees.

The GPS data is written to EXIF tags by the phone. It can be turned off on the phone if someone wants that. It's just plain latitude, longitude, and altitude.
