Boys... got the 8-week ultrasound today and we have liftoff! There's a tiny little heartbeat and the radiologist confirmed everything looks good so far!!

My wife's been exhausted and dealing with some morning sickness, but other than some anxiety waiting for the ultrasound (she's been a bit stressed since the last pregnancy miscarried), she's doing awesome.

Still not going to tell family/friends for a few more weeks but the vibes are very, very high. I wasn't sure how I'd feel before the ultrasound but my face literally hurts from smiling like an idiot all afternoon and my wife is on cloud 9. Can't wait to tell my parents they're going to be grandparents.

awesome, congrats!!!!

look forward to the day my boy gives me this info

Now Fundrise is the asshole this year. I swear to God, I hate taxes and the IRS, but Christ, make these companies give out 1099s regardless of amounts.

Got the amp installed in car. Still need to make a board to mount amp and secure/hide wiring. Had some issues with the DSP. My fault. Waiting on a USB mic so I can use rew to sweep each speaker to help set dsp/EQ. Very much worth it though. Even the basic setup i have in it now sound way better than original. Also have some slight wiring issues with the t harness that plugs into the Harnett used to go to factory amp. Have to cut and solder 4 wires to get calls to work through speakers.

Sounds great, Kev!

May I ask, what do you mean by the part in bold?

I've got a similar mic that goes with my real time analyzer, they are very flat response for measurement purposes, got a nice little correction unit for my krk rokits - you run the app and it sends some tones around the room, couple mic placements and it decides what frequencies to boost or retard

the dsp correction will help tone down the naturally resonant frequencies of the car so that the overall response is more flat and the car's acoustic bump is not as prevalent - its a bit more complex in a room as opposed to a car

if you play a sine wave sweep in your car, you'll likely hear a bass bump or two in there as the resonant frequencies of your car are passed by

man I was really planning on getting to bed early Monday night but my buddy really wanted to get some cable ran in his studio, so I obliged..

Pretty much what FBD posted.
You use a microphone plugged into device (in my case a laptop). Setup the mic calibration, then use software to record what frequencies your speaker is playing. It will show any spikes, dips and resonance due to sound wave length versus physical dimensions of car or room. Itll show any physically blockage in soundw ave too. Ill be using the free Room EQ Wizard as my software. REW also has a decent pink noise generator I can use to set the sound stage of each speaker. Soubd stage is where you perceive the sound coming from. If you've ever been in a room with a well setup surround system, you'll notice it sounds best from pretty much one location.

Eversource sent me some survey, in it was a question about what they could do to improve aside from pricing

Fuck, adblock ultimate finally stopped working for blocking youtube ads, RIP. Going to have to find something new... sounds like ublock origin is the way.

[KevinD]

Yeah, YouTube has gotten bad. Every single video I watch now has at least 3 ads at beginning.

[Godfather]

Ok I used the ublock origin plugin for a bit today... no more youtube ads. Seems to work really well.

Unfortunately I use the Samsung browser, with duckduckgo. That looks to only be for I think Google browser?

Yes. A simple solution is to get a VPN. I use NordVPN, which has a built in adblocker.

It also means that your internet provider can't see what you're surfing either. Complete anonymity.

Didn't I fart around with this last year sometime? Yeah, uBlock Origin works, if you're not logged in to an account. Nothing works if you're logged into an account, they just shut down your ability to play videos.

I liked Youtube better back before Google bought it.
