      my school's decision to include one week of Diff EQ at the beginning of its Calc 3 course is pretty dumb...moving right along to series'

        Hahaha I know, it was super weird to get a single week of diff eq and then to start into the series stuff. It'll be the hardest part of the comprehensive final too since it's so tacked on

        I remember series and convergence in the integral calculus course/Calc 2. Tacked on discussion of ODEs then, even drew integral curves and fields before the word "vector" ever came up.

        It's been unused long enough that the math fell out of my head, so I have to play refresher with the math sequence.

        Heh, it's not easy. But the best thing to do in order to minimize eventual difficulty is to exercise some care while removing it in the first place. Learned that for my second one!

      so uh, What heatshrink do you guys use for soldering headphone cables? I wanna give a go at modding my stock 650 cable after all.

        I got this multipack when I started a year ago. It's pricey, but as a novice cable maker who has now done many, the size and color variety is extremely handy and the 3:1 shrink gives you more leeway

        https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NPBUWRC

        But if your stopping at this one mod job, its overkill obviously

        Neutrik are legit, I use those exact XLR's often, very easy to work with and easy to solder. Just don't forget to put the barrel and heat shrink on the cable before soldering! (from experience :) )

        To be honest I would cut costs even more and go for 2 double beds but that's your call. I was hoping to show up on friday then stay the night friday and saturday to depart on sunday. Wanted to be able to see the sights a little after the meet as I have never been to the West coast before.

        oh sure, if two doubles is an option, but i have my doubts. Yeah, I was thinking maybe coming in saturday morning and leaving sunday morning, i definitely didnt want to miss post meet festivities. Im not sure if there will be anything happening friday night?

        Not to sure either. Again, I was hoping to just check out the stuff close by and maybe go to the beach or what not. Would be nice to meetup with some of the local SBAF's in the area before the event as well.

        Try the Monster UCT3? Not an exact matches (and it's 90USD), but from a few pictures and it seems that it has detachable cables - if you're using it for cosplay that would come in handy.

        And Adidas branding. Lol.

      any of you gents have any experience with the AntLion ModMic? looking at getting the 4.0 unidirectional one to use with the 650s
      1. SBAFedu

        I own an uni. Should pick up less ambient noise than an omnidirectional (a plus in my book). Magnetic clasp mechanism is useful and stays well on most any surface of sufficient flatness. IMO mic voice quality is only OK. I had a Plantronics Gamecom 780 before the 4.0 and the 780's mic is the better of the two to me. Hence the "OK" rating. AKA, good enough.

        I couldn't get either of the smaller ones since the smallest is only 60hz, and once you've gotten used to watching everything at an even multiple of its native refresh rate you can't go back, and the 60" is IPS which would do for contrast, so 65" it was haha
