    Audiophilia - Can anyone recommend an introduction?

    Thanks, that seems like a good start, but I'm a tad confused about the frequency and bitrate. I'm guessing these are waves per second (thank you A level physics), and bits per second (thank you Dad who works in computing stuff). I suppose the waves per second means that I can have more...

    Audiophilia - Can anyone recommend an introduction?

    Today I was in the market for a new pair of headphones, my current ones don't work properly unless you twist the plug *just* right (it bent slightly), I like my media to sound good, and they come in a variety of prices, which makes them an ideal birthday gift to ask for. So I compared a few...

    What are you nerds reading? :D

    Chris Ryans' "Osama" So far this guy saw the SEAL team go out of that compund in Abottobad with TWO body bags, later the same team take him and other SAS guys as scouts on another op, they have to go through a minefield which was marked with a clear chalk path by bomb crews, but that was...

    What makes you so SPECIAL?

    Well, I reckon this thread is an interesting one to post in, but I doubt there are gonna be many replies to posts within it. Strength: 4/Lightweight, I've got very little upper body muscle, but decent legs. I'm not old and frail, and quite used to bringing a loaded backpack up a couple of...

    Poll: Is my DnD Character Transphobic?

    It sounds like your character, despite being female, presents as a male without identifying as a man. This makes a great deal of sense in a setting where sex and gender are tied together in her culture and mind. It sounds like she's an unwitting transman, making herself comfortable, while...

    Someone in Congress has been editing wikipedia to include Transphobic hate speech.

    Radfems are human beings, they may be misguided, but since they are sapient people with the intention to do good, calling them scum is both inaccurate and counter-productive to their re-education.

    Poll: So... Why can't guys have pericings at my high school, but chicks can?

    But nail polish, long hair, and sleeveless shirts aren't even a real part of being female, just cultural BS put on to imply femininity. Then again, I suppose a lot of teenagers do think of this piled on fashion stuff as a part of themselves, which makes me glad all my schools had uniforms...

    Sexuality, Diversity, Coming out

    I am somewhat disturbed by how hot Alex seemed to me when she was threatening to rape someone, did you put "evil" among her personality traits? To OP, I'd say coming out as gay, lesbian, or bi can be handy if you'd like to get in a relationship with someone of the same sex as you, since...

    Job Application Form: State your sexuality. Me: Why does that even matter?

    But surely that's evidence of being an Adaptable, Assertive, Can-Do Go-Getter Who Is Keen To Please, no?

    What is your comfort food?

    "New York" style ciabatta melt. Kinda like a ciabatta toastie with fried onion, steak (rare), and melted cheese.

    Something I noticed about Jim Sterling, and Yahtzee

    Jim/Ben... This HAS to happen. Sterling can bring the toys, and Crosshaw can bring the triple-cunted hookers. They could be wed by Movie Bob with the imps as bridesmaids, then go ride Princess Celestia off into the sunset for their honeymoon.

    The Great Debate - Chunky vs. Smooth

    Why oh why can there not be chunky Nutella? Like Nutella, but with chopped hazelnuts... Still, if you have not had a toasty with chunky peanut butter and mushed or mashed banana, you have not lived.

    Does the present exist?

    It seems that the present is between the past and the future, but doesn't seem to actually have any duration, so it's not so much a part of time so much as a hypothetical dividing line. But then, wherein lies the difference between past and future? One is in memory, the other in speculation...
