I've been having the occasional Melt My Brain. Probably about 1 a week on average. I bought a few 6 packs when it showed up in stores back in the fall and have them in the basement. I haven't had a margarita in probably a year or more. Once I get some Filthy Black Cherries I'm going to try...

Have you tried cleaning it with soap and water?

Orange Coke and Lime Coke (non-diet) are pretty tasty from their Freestyle machines.

And what condition is that?

Wait, you mean being outside in the winter is cold? :scratch:

Maybe that's why they launched it with the top down.

I hear a lot of them are barefoot, so you might be on to something.

You're worried about polluting the near vacuum of space? Maybe you should tweet your questions to @SpaceX

They needed payload for the Falcon Heavy test, so they used a Telsa Roadster for the lulz. As for space junk... It's not in low Earth orbit. It's being put in an Eliptical orbit of the Sun where it supposedly will orbit for about a billion years. So, no real issue with space junk.

I see Tesla will shortly have the first car in orbit of the sun. :cooler:

I can see why. It looks like it would make a terrible light.

Not at present. A factory?

Well, yeah... My point was that his choice of wording is rather strange. I don't refer to my workplace or any place I've worked as a "facility".

Well, I did say most. I didn't say all. I'm well aware that you can buy high CRI fluorescent lighting. It's just that the typical fluorescent lighting you encounter isn't it.

They're listed at 4000k. I can't find the CRI listed anymore. When I originally researched them I believe it was listed as >80. FWIW, the CRI of most fluorescent tubes isn't any better. Also, I got more of them around before Christmas to hang from the ceiling in the basement when they were...

Inside the house I've been slowly replacing my incandescent fixtures with LED fixtures. I replaced all the boob lights in the 1st and 2nd floor hallways in the house and the overhead lights in the kitchen with 14" round 3000k flushmount LED fixtures I bought at Costco. These fixtures...

I did finally get the fixtures installed in my garage after sitting on them for over a year. All 18500 lumens of LED lighting got put up back in October. It took about 10 hours to do all the necessary modifications, wiring, installation, and cleanup. The switch on the wall can control...

Are you sure it's not Pyongyang in North Korea? :bomb:

Yes, it's best to stick with the official story.

No, I'm not going. Why are the North Koreans after you? Something about the late night incursion ops you were running under the cover of darkness into the country?

They arrive on Long Island tomorrow. I'm curious about what I'm going to get in return.

You're coming up with 10's of TB per year of data to store on a personal basis? I bet even Merc wasn't downloading that much. Somehow I doubt you are either. You must be shooting an awful lot of HD/UHD (or higher res) video or something.

What are you storing?

Only...

I'd like to think they'd screen them for the specific defect if they're really cross shipping a replacement, but that's probably expecting too much.

That's what insurance on the shipment is for. Supposed they will ship replacements as soon as they get them (per the instructions they sent me). "We will arrange the replacement upon receiving your packaged item."

Yeah... Tell me about it. :owneddnce: The address they gave me is to a house on Long Island. Better than shipping to China for sure.

No, New York.

I bought a few generation old Haswell i7-esque Xeon a few years back when I wanted ECC for my server because I wanted a quad core with ECC. The stuff that was a generation or two behind was cheaper. BTW, don't i3's, Celerons, & Pentiums support ECC with an enterprise motherboard chipset? Only...

Well, I now have a RMA number for two pairs of headphones and an XLR cable. :frusty:

The Adorama pair was actually the 2nd pair I bought. The first pair I bought arrived after the Adorama set.

:cursin: Okay, so both pairs of the HE-560 I bought have a rattle with low frequency content, like a 20Hz test tone. The Adorama pair has a moderate rattle in the right ear cup. The HifiHeaven pair has a pretty bad rattle in the left ear cup. The rattle in both sets is audible in real musical...

I only have a Casio watch or two. One of which needs a new band. I'm not a watch guy. I wear one to tell the time, so I won't be starting that thread either.

A pocket knife is a lethal weapon? What about knitting needles? Pencils? A letter opener? And what do you mean by facility?

Is the watch thread next? :)

Facility? You're talking about guards and x-rays... Why can't you have a knife.?

But he's checking himself as luggage? They don't x-ray people.

Why are you getting xrays? Checking for broken bones?

My XPS 13 (9630 late 2017) arrived today. It looks completely brand new to me. I don't see any signs of refurbishment. FWIW, it came with a 256GB Samsung PM961 NVMe SSD. It only had the 1703 build of Windows 10 on it. I plan to clean install it either later today or in the next few days...

:erm: But you haven't been everywhere yet have you?

I used to have a black FRN Spyderco Lady Bug 3 on my keychain. Now I have a orange FRN Spyderco Dragonfly 2 on it. I removed the clip. I have a black FRN Spyderco Native 5 that I will carry from time to time when I think I might need a knife.

It's pretty hard to help when you speak in riddles and we know 5% of the story.

I have no idea. SSD's that large aren't on my radar. 512gB is mostly where my interest is. I could maybe be persuaded to 1TB if the performance was considerably better than a 512gB.

I think I will wait for the next generation of NVMe drives before getting one for the new laptop since it already comes with one that will tie me over just fine. The PM981 is already out so the 980 EVO shouldn't be too far away.

No one else states that. Only Storage Review says it has Toshiba flash though. Samsung also shortened the warranty to 5 years on the Pro version. However, I don't really get it. For the most part the SATA interface was already holding back the 850 Pro. The 860 Pro has little room for more...

I think you mean the 860 Pro. The use of TLC Nand is disappointing for a "Pro" drive though it seems to perform quite well. The information directly contradicts the Anandtech review Chewy linked which says, "...and Samsung's 64L 3D NAND is used in the new 860 PRO and 860 EVO..." Also, see...

We're going to need a picture to confirm that claim.

What's the recommended M.2 NVMe drive for a laptop? The Samsung 960 EVO series?

Why are you encrypting the thing in the first place? Do you not have physical control of it?

And they ignored it. A suitable Neutrik 4-pin XLR connector has been ordered. So, there you have it... HiFiman doesn't stand behind their products.
