is there a way to hook up bookshelf speakers that just have speaker wire inputs to a TV without those outputs? - spamlet Jul 19, 07:34 10
- Not without buying *something* -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 07:36 8
  - Yeah, I found the requisite cable but it's not any cheaper than getting a soundbar with the speaker cost. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 07:38 7
    - I'm really toying with getting myself a soundbar for my birthday. have you looked much at them? -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:41 5

        I should look into this - it would probably fix the audio glitch on my tv -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 07:48
        
        I can't find it on the website but can look when I go home at lunchtime if you're interested. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 07:46
        
        perhaps you need to invest in better surge protectors then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 19, 07:46 1
        
        We've lost two and they are the only things we've ever lost due to a surge. - spamlet Jul 19, 07:47
    - just get a soundbar, that is really all you need then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 19, 07:38
- sure just solder the appropriate connector to hook up to the tv outputs onto the speaker wire. easy peasy -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 07:35
I'm so over the corporate bullshit/paranoid store manager/out of touch DM that I've decided to start looking for a job for the first time in 10 years. - Tim Jul 19, 07:20 8

  - This. Give yourself a raise also, you can write in : Hookers and crack - oblique Jul 19, 07:26
- just put in what you need to make, if you're way out of the ballpark they won't call you back, but it' not worth your time to pursue it anyway -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 07:21 2
  - or they'll call and say "we can pay this; would you still be interested?" -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:22 1
    - in any case, it saves everyone a lot of time if you're upfront about it. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 07:22

      - Thanks. Pretty sure it *just* happened as you are on my fav 5 on the friend's list and were not a grey box last night. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 07:32 6
        
        Yeah, ever since they changed, I've been very sporadic playing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:33 5
        
        I am still using the secret log in thing which gives me the old appearance. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 07:42 4

- [deleted] 1
  - Clouds don't have cables! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 07:39
- I usually call them hiccups. A few weeks ago someone called it "the system farted." - JaxSean Jul 19, 07:32 1
  - Heh :) this one's hard to narrow down, because no one has complained of service issues, it's just an inexplicable automated alarm -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 07:33
- we've had one for 10 years... - Mel Profit Jul 19, 07:19
So are we going going to see Coggins clog dancing? - Mel Profit Jul 19, 07:15

laundry has become so high-stress for me because of the laundry bitches in apt 2. I *dread* doing laundry; - amanda Jul 19, 07:11 15
- Got a place down the street that does it for $1 / lb ... saves me loads of time / headaches -- nm - budice Jul 19, 07:12 9
  - yeah, we'd end up resorting to this a lot when I lived in Brooklyn. - znufrii Jul 19, 07:17 7
    - I found I barely saved $5 doing it myself when I didn't have my own machine. - Krusty Jul 19, 07:30 2
      - But you're all dudes and mandy isn't. There's a difference in laundry produced. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 07:35 1
        
        Plus, mandy is *dirty* -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 07:35
    - twice as expensive? how do you figure? (my machines are $1.25 per load, figure $6.25 per two loads.) -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:20 1
      - rough estimate that I came up with at the time, iirc. I forget exactly how the math worked out -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 07:22
    - $20 every two weeks is something I can afford. -- nm - budice Jul 19, 07:19 1
      - oh sure. I have more than 20 pounds of laundry per two weeks, though. I would imagine just sheets and towels would be over half that. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:21
  - I'm not made of money, but thanks. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:16
- New this Fall on ABC... -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 07:12 4

LA Times on Boy Scouts LGBT policy: Scout numbers have dropped rapidly, large percentages of scouts are mormon/christian they feared losing many more -- (link) - MDH Jul 19, 07:07 2
- I'd wager that very little of the drop in membership is related to this policy. nm - Jim Jul 19, 07:55
- "We have a policy that has caused membership to decline. Let's double down on that policy so we don't lose any more members." -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 07:20
Looks at the Emmy nominations: yep, I will be skipping the Emmy's again. Though hooray for Max Greenfield. -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 07:00 8

I suppose if I thought Emmy voters weren't lazy and hype driven, the fact that they're boolshit choices would piss me off. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 06:56 9
- (even I don't think 30 Rock should be there anymore) -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 06:59 8
  - I'll say it again, 30 Rock has been at its best ever this season -- nm - con_carne Jul 19, 07:40
  - See...I think it's continued it's high standard. I have no problem with any nominations it gets. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 07:02 5
    - while this may be true, I think there's better TV out there. one nom for P&R is shameful. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:02 4
      - I search in vain for TV comedy and don't find much. New Girl is the only new, non-niche comedy I find remotely funny. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 07:05 2
        
        If you can look past Maya Rudolph, Up All Night got very funny. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 07:07 1

- yeah, you cant tell when they are applying one of your free credits on their invoices. - tRuMaN Jul 19, 06:59
- The what in the why? -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 06:58 2
  - Exactly! --- I guess i'd earned credits by downloading free games that they applied; - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:18 1
    - No, see, I mean... -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 07:38
