Yup.

On a well mastered copy, that song is extremely dynamic.

Mr Rutherford is a vastly underrated bassist imo.

Oh fuck yes. Right in the childhood. I was lucky. Mom's always been a huge Justin Hayward fan - she had it for his performance of Forever Autumn.

I didn't want to listen to it, so she started just playing it loud in the living room. It was the right call, though The Moody Blues didn't take for a while.

Yeah my mom was a moody blues fan, but she had never heard of this album

I read that as 'John Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds' and was very concerned, both for John Wayne and @spawth

They just need to put "ex", before the current title or change it to "fresh out of college, facing new challenges ".

"Collegiate hijinks master forever"

ROFLMAO

Now new again, I like it

After high school my buddy worked at a classic car resto dealership. We went out to lunch one day in a DeLorean. It was a pooch. I think they used some lame ass Saab engine or something like that in it.

A Peugeot-Renault-Volvo engine. 130hp. But I have seen people do LS swaps...

And if you can't decide which lake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDtuEjdBmY4

Close to navigable water? Of course you need a boat!

Have you boated? if so, good: if not, you need some boat education too.

A cigar boat?

"Mitsubishi Electric bread oven TO-ST1-T retro brown Toaster which burns 1 sheet of ultimate" ...what?

My toaster of desire...

Just like tubes, NOS is just better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y

I think you can find the Mitsubishi for around $300-$400 usually, that Amazon listing seems high. I could go for a burned sheet of ultimate though

Work at Epic, medical software company. Maybe grad school later.

11th floor overlooking lake with nice windows, I'll be living nice. Maybe got to say goodbye to my speakers for now though

Last time I was in Madison, the Statue of Liberty was on Lake Mendota and the Pail and Shovel Party had put Pink Flamingos everywhere. Yes, a Looooong time ago….

Yeah I definitely did not drink enough water yesterday, and did drink like 3/4 bottle of rum so I wasn't feeling too good this morning. Today, more water

Don't underestimate alcohol. As a person who has been teetotal for nearly twenty years, 3/4 bottle of rum could kill me!

Yeah honestly don't know how I did that. Was spread out across the day though, but also with some other drinks. Yesterday took it easy, but today feeling bad, I think too much sun

oh god... work! Awful!

Except spwath is going to find some amazing job doing the electrical/audio engineering he loves and enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks all. Right now I'm off to work at Epic, a medical software company, not really related to my major, but seems interesting and pays well. First though, off to Florida for a fun trip with friends

@spwath keep in mind your degree demonstrates you are academically paper trained. Pay attention to the experienced engineers (Dilberts and Alices, not Wally). Also welcome to a world of regulations.

And I didn't steal irrigation system covers from a golf course, put them under the rear wheels of my '76 Honda Civic, yank the parking brake, and do donuts in a parking lot.

Very happy to hear of this responsible behaviour by you guys. :)

Hey, we returned it where we found it. Also not very secure...

Yeah, lots of errors in the developer console. Same here.

Hmm weird, works fine for me

Works on my phone and my Win 7 64-bit laptop, not on my 32-bit machine. Maybe that's it? Erm, whatsit do?

Lots of alt coins are up while tech stock is tanking. Fun times.

Still alt coins going up with tech stock going down. Good thing I bought ethereum.

Should be a good market for a while yet, im in

Carver was very clever with marketing speak, which is akin to sales bullshit.

The first “high end” system I ever heard had a Carver Sonic Holography preamp in it (C-1 or ‘2 maybe?) . It was impressive but I smoked a lot of pot back then. I often wondered what my reaction would be to hear it today, but those old Carver Preamps still sell for too much for me to experiment.

I had a carver preamp as well i got in a trade on craigslist. Sounded good to me but didnt do any critical listening on it, big JBL PA speakers, and i had the same issue as you

In one of the courses I took, instructor came up with very nice yet simple solution. He requested course takers to evaluate team members. Trick is that one person is only given (team size-3) * 10 to allocate (team size-1) members. Peer evaluation results heavily counted toward final grade. This system significantly reduced free riders. Procrastinators executed before the midterm lol.

Getting you ready for work in the real world...

See, I'm a real dick. I would be such a pain to work with on those that you just wanna get it done as fast as possible to be done with me. Fuck up your grades on your own time was my way.

That was my plan. Right now my plan is: Work at Epic for at least 5 years until I get my paid vacation (They pay for a vacation for me and a friend!!!!!), taking my friend from college on a trip to japan, then from there decide if I want to keep working at epic, or change it up. But I am getting this free trip to japan.

Grad school debt has ruined my life, don't do it. You won't get paid better or have more opportunities as a result, unless the masters program involves on-site job experience, which you should additionally be paid for.

I wont go to grad school unless I get it paid for somehow. I dont have any undergrad debt, I dont want any grad debt either.
