    SOUND Advice

    If your record player is old, you might consider a new one.  There seem to be some decently rated players with modern features (convert your vinyl to MP3, built-in speakers, etc.).   The three rated here range from $36 to $79. https://top5-reviews.com/best-record-player-reviews/ There are...

    Mechanical Engineer but Offered a position in Cyber Security

    If you did a co-op with them and they are offering you a job (though outside your Mech Eng field), they must really like you.  If this company did not have Mech Eng positions, I'd be more inclined to not accept it.  But since they do offer ME positions, I don't think it would be a bad move to...

    Job opportunities right after University

    Felix, if you can afford to not receive much income at first, strongly consider an internship where you work for little to no money but the position is (hopefully) easy to get and the experience priceless.  And I think you will see that job opportunities can/will easily open from there.  Good...

    SOUND Advice

    If you are looking for speakers for movies and games, you need (at least) two main speakers symmetrically placed to the left and right of the TV.  Then, for true 5.1 surround sound, you'd have a center channel under (or over) the TV, centered; two surround sound speakers symmetrically placed to...

    SOUND Advice

    tj, I am still confused as to what your ultimate goal is.  Is it a 5.1/7.1 surround sound system in one room, whole-house audio, a wireless music speaker(s) movable from room to room, or?

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    My trick is to be at CiCi's at closing.  We did this last night in fact - took the family there after Small Fry's Karate class.  I am two for two now.....  If you are there near closing (both times we have been the only customers there), then an employee will approach you with a large pizza box...

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    There are plenty of 'lunch specials' that include a drink.  CiCi's is $5.49 lunch pizza buffet, includes drink.

    What is your evaluation about CA Seismic & Surveying fall 2017 exams

    Sit tight and relax.  You'll know soon enough.  There are only two possibilities... you'll either be celebrating or you'll be planning your strategy for passing next time.  :) Others' experience won't tell you whether you passed or not.  ;)

    I don't understand the question.  What is it that you want to know?

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    I would expect or at least hope that there would be a small message stating that the drink they show a photo of is not included in the lunch special price they list.  Just as a cereal box that shows fruit in the cereal will state the fruit is a suggestion, a cell phone case ad that states the...

    SOUND Advice

    Yeah, I think of those light bulb speakers more for whole-house music, not so much for dedicated home theater use.  Cool idea though.   Basement?  :jealous:  My HT is in a 10'x12' bedroom.  :/   But I make it work the best I can.  :D   I just finished getting my 4 Dolby Atmos add-on modules...

    Surveying exam time was not enough

    There is no magic pill.  The advice is the advice I am sure you have already heard and already know.  Keep working problems.  Time yourself at home.  Start by picking 5 random problems and see if you can do them in 13 minutes.  Then pick 10 and see if you can complete them in 27 minutes.  Work...

    fox, what do you think of those recessed lighting wireless speakers?  The concept seems pretty slick.   https://www.amazon.com/recessed-light-speaker/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arecessed light speaker

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    This is just the weekly lunch special.  Go in the evening or weekends and the same selection buffet is over $10.  It's pretty good actually.  :)
