The ghost working the mixer board is a little distracting.

Racism requires belief; it's necessarily an intellectual artifact. If it isn't in the brain it isn't on the tongue. Ever. At all. Fact.

False.

So what's left of you? It's nice to be nice. Don't be a meanie. Rape isn't funny. Whatever. Do you get laid much with this sissy attitude?


I think once again, you're totally fucked in the head if you think women generally would find your attitudes on race to be attractive.

I suppose this means you only go looking for dates at KKK mixers?

I think the solutoin to all these audio issues is this

songs need to be sold on a blue ray or DVD disk the disk should contain seperate data tracks for every channel in the song say up to a max of 30 channels. that way people can chose how they want to listen to the music , profesoinal mixers can relaise "filters" which are esentualy controlers that tell your HIFI what levels to play things back at.

when you buy the disk and shuv it in your player , it simplay plays back with the defult filter that the bands editor would have composed. but with simple tweeking a user could edit the sogn to work best with there hifi / player or best with what they like.

its strange to me that with high quality music we are still esentualy in the 60s with the amount of controle and neglect of technoligy.

Cement mixer is belong to construction machinery, during work its drum is rotated by a drive unit. There is a loading chute located at the top of the mixer. The ingredients to be mixed are funneled into the drum by way of the chute.

Stereo songs can easily be converted into mono songs, either through software or by using special headphones made for hearing impaired people. The only reason to buy the mono box would be because you're the type of audio geek who likes to hear slightly different recordings of the same songs. And that's cool.

Sure you can convert anything, the problem is you're missing the intermixing that was done at the studio to bring out the tones and pitch. The best studio mixers of the day aren't around. It's much like the difference from listening to something played on transistor based or tube based electronics. Tubes will give you a much warmer sound.


The guy is an idiot and annoying. No point denying that. But I've got this stuff on vinyl, and cassette. Compared to the CD release, or even MP3 formats they're not close. Tones and pitches are off, hi's are too hi' lows are shallow or have no depth. They'll pan too early. Mids taste flat.

I'm not anywhere close to an audio geek, tones that sound off drive me up the wall. That's my problem, much like nails across a chalk board.

that cement mixer truck that they filled up with explosives and set of from a mile away was the best bang I ever seen on the show. The sound it made was un fuckin believable. bewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I LIKE THINGS THAT GO BOOM.

If you do it right, you get fractal views of things around the room, your surrounding start to migrate about, blend, roll over themselves, and dominate what you can see. You get very surreal hallucinations, ranging, in my cases, from teeth floating out of a smiling face and becoming larger than the originating head, tranquil river valleys as seen through the bathroom mirror, wondering why I can't get there, and utter confusion as to why I arrive back in reality having ripped apart my bedsheets, facing a wall, with my pillow clenched tightly, especially since I started the trip downstairs in the main room on the couch. I naturally don't remember parts of the trip in the middle, I describe it to people who are about to take it that it's like taking a sledge hammer to your brain then trying to pick up the pieces. It's much more fun to watch someone who has never done it before do it. When smoked in little bits your brain starts the "pulling, swirling" sensation, where you feel like you're in a cement trucks mixer, and your falling into the turn, but you never fall, even though you're always falling. Other descriptive things would include "cactus like pins and needles all over", "funny, cartoonish images dancing in ones field of vision" "trying to continuously push yourself out of a stupor created by an artificial bubble of time distortion." I gave the tiniest hoot to a girl once that had never done it, she exhaled immediately, i turned around to say something, turned back to see what everyone was looking at, and she had ran out onto the street outside, like, bolted, and guys ran after her to see what was wrong. fukkked! thank you.

My dog jumped into a cement mixer when I threw a bone in there. How smart was that?


I tried asking my Labrador 'sculpture', but it didn't answer.

It's not worthwhile, but I guess I can share a story...

Some years ago I was spending a week at a friend's summer cabin by the sea, the weather was perfect and we had a great time. After a couple of days we met a mutual aquiantance whom we both can't stand. Let's just call him X. He's the kind of guy who has very rich parents and is proud to show it off, designer clothes, gold watches and always bragging about it. We knew him from school but had never spent any time with him privately. So we meet him at a party and just ignore eachother at first. Some hours later he takes me aside and starts accusing me of "stealing" the girl he was interested in. My response that "life isn't fair" doesn't amuse him one bit.

The following day we eventually get back to my friend's cabin and discover about 10 bags of thrash have been emptied on the lawn. We're both a bit perplexed but just start picking it up. Later that day I mention this to a girl we partied with the night before and she tells me X has been bragging to everyone about getting back at me by dumping trash all over my friend's lawn. I guess it made sense in his mind.

I'm not really a guy who likes getting into arguments, but there was no turning back at that moment. So the next day I get an excellent idea. X's family had just built this ENORMOUS new cabin in the poshest part of town, right by the sea. The place looked like a castle and even had a small island just in front of the main enterance. So my friend and I pick up this really cheesy advertising mascot, which is about 5 ft. tall (pictured here), borrow a small cement mixer from a friend of ours and go by boat to X's cabin. After making sure no one was home we use about 50 kilos of cement to make sure this awful mascot was firmly attached to the small island just next to his house. Then we jumped back in the boat and opened some beers to celebrate.

The only thing I regret is not seeing the look on his face when he first saw it. Hahahaha.

Cluster Bombs = War Crimes.
It disgusts me how cavalier Americans can be in regards to innocent life.


it disgusts me how much you want warfare to be pretty and nice

Sorry, but unlike most other Republicans, I don't like Bush and I vote with logic, not the bible.

You're a Republican, MG. You should keep the specifics out, and replace them with "Jesus" and "gotcha media."

Thanks for the in-depth answer. I was hoping someone with formal training in weaponry would provide a response.

Ugh. Not a one of you has first hand knowledge of these things. I wonder if anyone here does?

OH, THAT'S RIGHT!
1st of all, this is an Israeli-made bomblet. Not American. So all of you can redirect your anger there.

Secondly, American forces do EVERYTHING in their power to reduce and eliminate collateral damage. We fired about %15 of all the fire missions we received because higher command would not clear them due to being too close to civilian structures.

Thirdly, American cluster bomblets are equipped with self-detonation timers.

The two I have worked with are the RAAMS and the ADAMS systems.

ADAMS: Area Denial Artillery Munition System - Anti personnel clusters.

These 155mm projectiles detonate by a nose-mounted fuze that ignites a propellant expulsion charge, forcing off the baseplate (bottom of the round) so that the projectile's contents are ejected. The 155 mm M692 and M731 ADAM both carry 36 wedge-shaped anti-personnel mines. The M692 (shell body marked ADAM-L) carries 36 M67 mines with a factory-set self-destruct time of 'more than 24 hours'. The M731 (shell body marked ADAM-S) carries 36 M72 mines with a factory-set self-destruct time of 'less than 24 hours'. When the mines reach the ground, seven tripline sensors are released after a 60 second delay, and the detonators are armed to function at any small disturbance. When the mine detonates, a liquid propellant surrounding the explosive warhead is ignited. This breaks up the wedge-shaped body and hurls the spherical warhead upwards. A delay mechanism in the warhead allows it to reach a predetermined height before the contents are detonated to scatter hundreds of high-velocity anti-personnel fragments in all directions.

Deployed the same way as the ADAMS, only they are tripped via electromagnetic sensors and there are 9 to a shell.

I want to upvote because I love explosions, but I want to downvote for other stupid shit this video and commenters are saying.

Here's an idea: how about instead of trying to ban cluster bombs, we encourage them to find ways to lower the failure rate?


how about we find ways to stop forcing our diseased beliefs on other countries by invading and murdering its populace?
