In general, no, you’re not crazy for considering active speakers. In fact, most desktop PC orientated speakers are active.

I think your specific selection is a bit suspect for nearfield audio and definitely for full spectrum listening (the 80hz bottom end of the frequency range will leave you looking for bass if you care at all).

To extrapolate on your metaphor, this is more like buying a farm tractor as a commuter vehicle. Sure it has wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel, but it isn’t exactly intended for on road use.

I went with active studio monitors for my desktop PC (Adam Audio T5V and a matching subwoofer) after fighting with interference from various other electronics and the mini amp I was using.

These are amazing speakers, but also quite large. They have standby mode and both xlr and rca inputs. They are wild overkill for what I do with them, but it made me happy.

I would consider their desktop system if I were to do it again to save some space. https://www.adam-audio.com/en/desktop/d3v/

There are dozens of other even cheaper options with great reviews that similarly fit your needs.

What else would a good actor do?

Sidenote: I think Face Off is a perfect embodiment of this sentiment. An objectively terrible movie with a monumentally dumb premise, and his acting is what takes it from unwatchable to downright fun.

Performative rage because he can barely swing that hammer. Chokes up to within a foot of the head. He clearly had some assistance do the damage shown at the end.

I do love it when these douche bags show just how poorly they meet the physical manifestation of their outrage.

One of my favorite 50:50s is branca menta and mezcal.

AKA:

I’ve not tried a combo with regular fernet, but I might have to give it a go.

Flex tape or other wet seal tape for hose repair.

Channel lock and a small mixed set of worm drive clamps.

Other things I don’t see mentioned: JB weld, RTV (silicone sealant), thread chasers, tire spoons, dialectric grease, all depends on the services you want to offer!

Time for a game of soggy biscuit!

Nope. But mine says “welcome foolish mortals.”

I made jungle birds with a rum blend instead of black strap last night (⅓ plantation oftd, ⅔ Appleton signature).

Guess I’m making them again tonight with some rye!

Me looking at the 529 I seeded for my kid born last year like

I was a little suspicious of watermelon and mint, but gin and cocchi americano?

Now I’m eyeballing this watermelon my friend bought for his kid and thinking half of it needs to disappear in the freezer. My bottle of Americano needs to be finished anyway. There’s really no way around it.

Love the variations too! I make a low abv brunch cocktail with roughly 2 americano, 1 grapefruit, and splashes of gin aperol and campari, finished with tonic or soda.

In case anyone is interested in the video and doesn’t want to give X any clicks:

Definitely. Anytime you’re fermenting in an open vessel, the CO2 builds up and pushes air out. If you stick your face below the lip of the vessel, and breathe in, the tingles get ya.

Oh dang, that rings a bell! After looking it up, definitely!

I know for a fact the barton went in an abit nf7-s.

The thoroughbred and barton boxes I built and overclocked way back when…

The thoroughbred was in an ECS motherboard that had slots for both pc133 sdram and pc2100 (ddr1) ram.

We should bear in mind a couple things here:

1: let’s not draw lines in the sand about reproductive health. There are any number of factors at play here that we are not privy to.

2: she turned 18 the month before the alleged event. Familial pressures and mores are not always shared and she may have sought care at the earliest opportunity.

Whoa there: I said “I remember”, not that interlacing was good.

And interlacing is only "good"for old video games that leveraged its weirdness for blending pixels.

It is terrible as a video format.

Remember when your dvd player had a “progressive scan” button?

I remember the 720p vs 1080i wars …

Graphic novel/comic

1984 Soviet animation

Yeah, I conflated it with the hyperland funding from the same thread

The big tent pitch was weaselly and weak. I assume they were actually unaware of his politics when they gave him the social media plug. But NRP doubled-down indicating it was his preferred distro for “productivity” in that thread.

I’m not sure why they would send a multimillionaire hardware when he spends his own money on much more expensive things.
