  • The only thing that can save us now is for the top governments across the world to work together on climate change. Most importantly they need to be proactive instead of reactive.

    That being said, yeah, we are absolutely cooked. Even when people start dying they’ll still just fight over resources instead of working together. You can already see signs of it like Trump having his grubby little fingers in Greenland.

    The one thing that I look forward to is if I remain healthy and with a bit of luck, I’ll live long enough to watch this dystopian shithole come crashing down.







  • I had a boss in an office that decided to have an Alice in Wonderland themed pot luck. She turned on the movie on repeat. Then she just never turned off the movie. It was on a screen on low volume right in front of my desk for weeks. She had an office, I didn’t. Eventually I sent her an email saying it was phycological torture after like week 3 to have the same movie playing on repeat for 8 hours Monday thru Friday.

    I also worked at a video store once that we had to play the promotional DVD on repeat. It was about 2 hours long of footage over and over and we couldn’t turn it down.



  • I appreciate your detailed response! I decided it’s way too much fucking work and with 2 sets of 6x9’s alone would sound like shit anyway.

    Even though I’m not doing this, I did find an interesting solution if you’re good at building shit. Speaker pods. There are custom ones you can have built if you wanna drop $200 per door but they essentially mount to your door and you can have multiple speakers in them or just one bigger one. They are pretty cool if you have a full aftermarket setup! If I ever pull the trigger on a project car, I’ll be looking into these but it’s just not worth it for my daily driver.

    White I have you, got any recommendations for good 6x9’e in the back and 6.5’s in the front for around $100 a pair and a stock head unit? My car is a 2018 Altima (the one without the Bose system unfortunately). My goal is to make it have good bass for no amp or subwoofer in the back and some crisp clear sound in the front.

    The ones I’m returning are the Kicker 350W ES series. I’m probably gonna dump the Kicker brand all together. I truly wish I could upgrade my head unit but because my dash is a dumb shape it’s hard to find an after market head unit that doesn’t stick out or just look horrible! I tried to install 3 over the years supposedly made for the Altima only for them to stick out, not fit, have the completely wrong wiring in them.


  • After doing some research, this is what I found out. To mount a bigger speaker in a smaller mount I’m probably gonna have to cut a bigger hole… if I’m comfortable with that (big fucking if there), I’m gonna have to worry about the window glass hitting the speaker. I have 2 pairs and I only opened one box to check the contents…

    I guess it’s back to the store Info tomorrow to make an exchange unless anybody has a really easy solution for me! I’m never trusting Gemini again



  • I wasn’t allowed to have sugar because I was hypoglycemic as a kid. I’d get a burst of energy and then crash out. It almost put me in a coma once and I had to visit the hospital a few times.

    I’d still sneak candy anytime I could!

    As an adult, I don’t even associate candy with food. To my brain, it’s poison. I’m not like obsessive or anything but I don’t really eat sweets to this day even though I haven’t had any blood sugar problems as an adult.

    I do eat some things with some added sugar of course but that’s about it.

    Once I was dating a woman that had diabetes and to support her, we both cut out added sugar and carbs for 1 month. That was a crazy experience! I literally went through physical and mental withdrawals! Eventually my sense of taste became so different that I remember baby carrots tasting like they were dipped in sugar water! Once I stopped the diet it took weeks for me to start tasting things normally again.

    Oh, speaking of sugar and taste, I had a similar experience with everything tasting like sugar when I came home from a 1 month vacation in Spain where I ate pretty normally. The amount of sugar added to everything in the US is fucking gross!
