DIY version... of... ...something
WTS: 3rd MO: Audiophile Ground Box

Pine? Pshaw!

Now if that box was made of Mpingo wood, it might actually have proper audiophool mojo, and be worth $10,000 or so.

Looks like an ideal candidate for Teardown Tuesday probably too expensive.

BTW how's the teardown of the other thing going?

Wow!

This is an actual product!?!

I thought someone threw this together as a joke!
Similar humour level as a scrawled note on the jobsite urinal: "Why are you reading this? The joke is in your hand!"

The REV33?

Presumably getting one of those ground boxes and then suspending it from the ceiling by strings (or from a weather balloon) would turn it into a floating ground, thus defeating the purpose.

 

[Pano]

That's true. Perhaps for it to work best it should be buried a meter or two underground?

Yes. I think a proper burial would be best.

Yes, and if they were to break with tradition and take it out of the box before burying it, they might actually be on to something.

Of course then they'd have to come up with some other magic gizmo to mitigate the very real ground loop this could create. And so on, and so on...

Current building code has urinals at ALL levels, I feel like putting up a short people only sign on some. At MIT someone actually put up a sign asking the cleaning service to shave the urinals.

 

[Pano]

Oh, I thought those low urinals were for the, uh, better endowed users.

That water is damn cold, you know.

That water is damn cold, you know.

And deep.

Yes

That's why I spend a few weeks last year pee-ing laying down after my back injury.

Or, short legs, as the old joke about someone wishing for one that was long enough to reach the ground has it.....

You are a dazzler me think

Yes

Dunno yet. SY is being very tight-lipped about everything. Plus he's been out of town quite a bit lately.

Yeah, getting in the way of cement trucks I gather.
