Growing up. I guess it happens to us all one day, but do try to postpone it as long as possible!

Doing adult things are boring, but probably the right ting to do.

Welcome to adulting.

Yikes, hope everything is okay over there

Idk, they are pretty sketchy. A while ago the police showed up and raided their place in hazmat gear.

I'll be the boring dude. Cars depreciate fucking fast and girls that like guys for fancy cars need growing up. Also never know when the money might come in handy.

I love hatchbacks since it's enough space inside for steaming fucking.

Yeah, I do like hatchbacks. I have filled my car with stuff multiple filled. Had filled it and had to put stuff on the roof rack as well as I couldn't fit everything inside

Does your school have some sort of incubator for IP that comes out of the research labs? That could be a cool way to get in on some cutting edge stuff. I had a blast working at mine in grad school.

I'll have to look into that @Cspirou and @fraggler . Didn't think about that, but yeah, research would be very cool

The whole point of structured education is to learn how to learn. Once you have that figured out you can learn whatever you wish. I'll take a motivated self-taught person over a paper trained sheeple every time.

Yeah, seems like from what I have seen, lots of people just memorize things, and don't really understand the how/why. I don't like doing that, I find it much more satisfying to actually know the why on things, makes it more applicable to other situations.

Excel is really powerful when used at its full potential. Heck, my scientific advisor even managed to create a software that was written only in Excel and costed a lot of money.

Actually think I'm leaning toward the lorier falcon again. I guess it's best to wait a bit to figure out what I really want...

Make a big "lottery win" wishlist, rank everything according to how bad you want it. Then wait a while and buy whatever's at the top. Or just hold on to your money for a while...

Off to go buy a rolls Royce phantom drophead coup.
But actually that is a good idea. I need to think more before spending...

Began a while ago. This is my 6th or 7th pair of headphones now

Not to mention the speakers.

Come to think of it, I guess it did begin. Just think, by the time your my age you will have closets full of audio shit from the past! :)

"I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one."

It's going to be so much better than on my TV in is full, giant, hi def, loud, big speaker IMAX glory. I'm sad I missed the 2001: a space odessey IMAX re release, but glad I get to see this again, and in theaters.

One of those films that is as gripping as the book.

Honestly, I'm really surprised at how many doors opened for me based on who knew me (NOT who you know). Make those social connections!

You're a smart guy and if 3.5 comes easy I wouldn't sweat the 4.0 if it means you have more time to do social stuff and personal growth. Most future employers aren't going to care about GPA if you're already at 3.5. Unless that's really important to you. It's great you have goals. That will make a lot of great stuff just sorta happen.

I feel like I just wasted a lot of time doing nothing, time when I had nothing to do, but could have put in more work. But yeah, I am not too concerned about that, I just think I can do better, so might as well. Higher gpa never hurts.

I work for a major medical device company. Responsible for device audio recording and sound systems; alarms, alerts, voice prompts, CPR metronomes, etc. Must work in noisy environments, hence psycho-acoustics involved. Have worked off and on as tracking, mixing, mastering, SR FOH and Cue Mix engineer in addition to running a project studio like a gazillion other people. Technical adviser to AES.

Also responsible for two Audio / Acoustic labs, one corporate and one personal, both maintain NIST traceable calibrations and pass muster for many regulatory agencies such as CSA, TUV, FDA, etc.

I always forget how many fields actually have audio stuff in them. Basically every field.

Third time's the charm! My best college year was definitely my third. Go kill it! :)

It started to get really fun for me in year 3 and 4, make the most of it while you're there!

I recall undergrad getting more and more fun with each year. The first handful of years of work can also be a blast- reliable income and very few responsibilities, possibility for lots of travel (uh, if you're from a country were student loans don't jump on you as soon as you're done studying not sure how this is in the US)

Excellent. Looks like you put a lot of research into the trip before undertaking it, ensuring success and safety.

Hopefully. Wouldn't be good to be stuck 50 ft below the city of Hartford...

So, yes, audio is unimportant. That does not mean you have to stop spending money on it! :)

I read SGS's comment as "Being content is an infinite baffle."

So true. Infinitely baffling! :)

Safe drive. And have a great time. Relax and enjoy the company!

Maybe, but questionable quality and looooooong wait times

I have a pair for Audio Technica AD2000x. If you want them just pay shipping from Canada.

Thanks, but I have now secured 2 pair within the US.

Man, they still don't put HD screens on head units in 2019?

Not on the cheap ones at least. Doesn't really matter though, looks decent enough. Better than the stock radio that only could play CDs and radio.

Using it more, the screen looks fine. I don't think hd is really needed, not like I look at it that much or that closely. I look at the road.
During installation I burned my thumb. There was some very hot metal pipe under the dashboard, seemed to be connected to the gas pedal. Idk what it was, but it was hot

I've got one of those, if you like the HD650 mids you'll be disappointed in the HD580, much more neutral tho with better extension at both ends.

@m17xr2b Modded or un-modded HD580?

Both, HD580 is just a more neutral headphone from both the driver and the different tuning. I've transplanted the HD650 driver into the HD580 and it did sound more neutral but also wrong, lacked cohesion somehow. Keep in mind there are over 6 different HD580 variants, who knows if you're taking about the same headphone. I've hot three variants and they sound distinctly different but with the HD580 house sound.
