    Knowledge base: Cable Music fidelity

    A quick question that I tried to ask on Internet but only got lost in the weeds. When you listen to a premium cable music channel, and hook it up through your receiver and sound system, is the fidelity as good as listening to FM Radio? I realize this has two dimensions at least, one being what...

    JFC, a simple iPhone cord charger??????

    Trying to get Ms. BA a lighting to USB cable for her iPhone for Friday birthday. I looked at top-reviewed ones and they ALL suck. Geezus. Do those of you with those phones just suffer a bunch of failed cords or is there a mystery source of ones that don't fall out of the phone or fail after a...

    Buh-bye Sleep Train

    Again and for good. Upon a time there was a mattress joint that I had great experiences with over the years and did a lot of charity pj drives and such. Then they got gobbled up, lost their name to something very lame. And now, that company is sinkin faster than a fat guy on a cheap mattress...

    Too lazy to dig up Floridumb

    Why oh why does it have to always be Florida? https://start.att.net/news/read/category/news/article/people-fla_woman_allegedly_attacked_boyfriend_with_knife-rtime Riff away. For starters, maybe if the chick didn't look like a tweaker zombie he'd have more desire. But that might just be bad...

    Tell me about overheating on air cooled bikes

    Specifically my Triumph Bonneville. The problem: after 8 years of passing on the right on stopped traffic on my two-lane commute road, the long arm of the Broken Lizard Supertroopers of EBMUD-EBPRD is now issuing tickets along San Pablo Dam Road. Only a problem in the morning where there is a...

    Idiocracy Trifecta

    ...and/or The Decline of Engineering in America. Bay Bridge rusty bolts. Made in China. Millenium Tower leans. He did it, no he did it. Salesforce Transit Center. Name and shame. Closed within a month of opening. I can't quite invoke Schadenfreude because, well, I want the Bay Bridge to be...

    Corporate branding's bringin me down, man.

    Front-page story about "Salesforce Transit Center" in today's paper. Our Transbay Terminal is now a shill for a company who I know or give not a shit about. If company gets sold or bankrupt, I guess the name will change, just like the Coliseum. David Foster Wallace had it right. Soon, even our...

    Geezer camping upgrade: Propane lanterns

    So fellow campers, since LED lanterns have emerged, have you all dumped your propane lanterns? After camping last week, I decided to go through my stuff and try and upgrade wherever possible.

    Why No Thread About Why No Thread?

    Let's change the channel, fercrynoutloud. I open the KS/Politics pages and there are these semi-accusatory why no thread about _____ deals.. Tired meme. If you want to talk about something, be bold, brave and start a thread. It seems like our consciences are being examined when it's put in the...

    Fleet of white Ford vans?

    So just to be official, are those white Ford panelvans that have no marking except one number on the back door actually Amazon? I have seen as many as six at once traveling south on SP Dam Road in the morning commute. It actually creeped me out just a bit, but hey, we have our sci-fi and...

    The whole 4chan thing that I don't get

    :afm199 You young uns often use terms and mention sites that I have no knowledge of and many have probably seen this, but for those who haven't, I'm posting this. It's TL/DR for the casual BARFer but considering some of the weighty things we throw around, might be of interest...

    Knowledge base: office chair repair

    Hiya: We have one of those ergo fancy office chairs that has all black mesh upholstery (seems like some kind of nylon). The seat gave out (you don't have to mention because of my fat arse). It has a fairly rigid spline with glue combo. We tried to fix it ourselves but it gave and I figure they...

    BARF Knowledge Base question: epoxy paint fillers

    About four or five years ago, somebody here was talking about a paint that restores missing wood on window sashes for example because it has epoxy in it which takes the place of the missing wood. I have a non-standard application. I have a deck made of OSB ply coated with Gaco deck coating, a...

    Anybody Watching I'm Dying Up Here?

    Getting into this joint. As a rule I don't like reliving the 70s but there is some good acting and even though they are young actors, they put off the 70s vibe pretty damn well...
