Within three months or so, I will have access to an entire injection molding and blow moulding system on a daily basis.
Perhaps we can explore the idea of having a part or difficult component run through the injection moulding hardware. On weekends, I can run the whole system for my own purposes. It will be a PET system, for the most part.
The mould would run about $2500, max. Thereafter, the production cost of the given plastic component would be..pennies. So, 2-300 given parts could be quite cheap. This is european (German) designed gear, built in China, so it is not as expensive as you would think.
Think evil DIY audio scientist.
Spend some time thinking about it, it won't be here for a while.
There must be something we can do with it.
Edit and postjack!: In a pass labs thread about a need for a specific empolyee, that Nelson posted..I made a post. Poobah made a post about my post. It PO'd me tremendously. I replied with my emotions, when I likely should have thought it through. The thing I had to ask myself...is WHY did it bother me? I should not have let it get under my skin. I have nothing against Poobah, I enjoy his company, for the most part.....😀 Like backsides..eveybody has an opinion.
I keep thinking, that even when we get PO'd with someone on the forum here, that we would not have the same reaction if we were sitting at a table and enjoying good food, good beer, and good company. We'd likely have a very good time. Maybe learn a few interesting things, as we could go into better detail about what we 'exactly' mean, thus misunderstandings are less likely to develop.
Case in point:

Perhaps, Sy, you might consider developing or angling into exploring the idea of psychic sensitivity.. in yourself? I have more than a few pointers on how to begin, being relatively well versed in the subject.
First you have to begin by learning to access the so-called 'kundalini' aspects of the so-called 'energies' that a given person may have access to. Not all that difficult, really. It first begins, after the barrier has been broken on the personal level of access to 'Kundalini', as a reduction in terms of the idea of 'chance' outcomes. Coin tossing, etc. My personal record, in that particular aspect, is to toss heads on coin flips, 186 times in a row

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning, Ma'am," he said, "I've come to...''
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat." After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!" gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh dear!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes," the photographer replied, "and, for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, um, equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."
Mrs. Smith fainted.

I knew a girl once with an amazing kundalini... ping pong balls....
How will this affect my abilities at dwarf-tossing? I'm quite good at it, you know. Internationally ranked. But I've never managed 186 heads in a row.

The plane? Well K, it's a long forgotten and dark part of our history here at diyAudio. Chris was recalling the fun we had with it. I think he was recalling the fun anyway. Sorry you weren't involved initially. I think you would be at the forefront of that one.
And no, I will not bring it up again. I lost a few friends over that one.
Now back on topic. How come the second rainbow is in reverse order of the first?
Or not.
Perhaps you don't have quite as many "popping neurons" as you would have us believe...just sayin'.
Hi Cal,
You should look for that thread Ken.

Edit: Here it is! Locked for our own protection.
I was indeed.
HAD! , as far as I can figure out the plane will provide fun for years to come! 😉 😀

Please, in the name of all that is holy, DO NOT attempt either ..you'll tear a hole in the fabric of time/space with such foolishness!!

I've certainly popped my share of neurons. All..never to return. Gotta grow new ones. This can be done, in terms of 'networking' the brain to new neural connectivity. Growth of large nerual linakages is possible. Meditation is incredibly good for this. It aids the intelectual (etc) development, and is a positive feeback system. More leads to more. You've read the articles about the mouse, rat, or the monkey with the wires in the pleasure part of the brain. This is similar. Mental masturbation of the highest order, with zero guilt!!!! Can't, er, uhm...beat that. Keep zapping that brain. On the bus, sitting in a chair, at work, etc. woooo!
This is sort of like an intellectual extrapolation of what it is that gets one hooked on a given person. That wires your neurons so you are literally hooked on them. In the case of the male, the hooking is so severe, that one literally has to die a figurative death in the mind that is equatable to the pain of an actual death, the physiological/psychological/etc 'hook' is so deep. The reason behind why men don't like to commit, when women just toss that around so freely, in comparison. For women the wiring does not have that aspect, of the male's literal internal death.
The opposite is also true. The high is higher, in the act of hooking. This is one aspect that is responsible for the larger number of males of the species involved in meditation, etc. This is changing as of recent, on that level, but the chemical/physical hooking of the male in the given relationship remains for the male as one of, if not the most life involving aspects of existence. Women can walk away far easier, without haveing to die the internal death.
When guys are in love they are as high as they can possibly be, the back side is true. When they are down they are actually...dying. This tends to work out as higher highs when meditating, and in terms of the recieveing of reward for the effort spent in meditation. There are always exceptions to the rule, as we see in gay women and men, etc, physiological, wiring, etc, but the rule is overall..quite accurrate.
You can see why, at the odd time, I lobie fore ae speelchechker. Don't do much fer grammer though. Throw in the complexity of wiring that brings about some of the symptoms of dyslexia, and poof!, we are at that bizarre point where the heavily crosswired can be seen as either insane, or....whatever. I have two uncles that are both dyslexic, but highly intelligent. Both have been millionares at times. I know of another guy who can't even visualize the way to the bathroom. He's worth over 100 million. Might be the animal in that particular guy, though. He can't see the pain of the people he harms. Visualization could be tied to dyslexia, I've no idea, never looked it up. I've got quite decent visualization skills, and think that most of my spelling and similar errors are fromthe keyboard aspects, as I can type quite fast, but am self taught, for the most part. How bout you guys?
Recent studies have shown that the human mind sees the words as a 'group of letters', and it only seems to matter a little that there be some sort of organization to that group of letters. All the letters of the given word in the grouping, but not really needing to be in the correct order. Methinks it might be a vowel vs consonant ordering-spacing thing, to be easily interpreted. I think we had a thread on this a while back. Yes we did.
This may also be part of the aspect of speedreading, but that may seem obvious. One of the guys I work with, a world class expert in acoustics and noise control, can read at about 1 page every 7-10 seconds or less, depending on his awareness and physical location (background noise, etc). Massively fast. Mind boggling. He says that many people can teach temselves this trick, and he says the retention is just as good. He learned it, he says, so he could actually go through the texts that he was told he'd have to read for his courses in university. He said no human being could ever come close to completing the reading in the normal timeframe of reading, even if they had 5 times as much time allotted to them. Speedreading seemed the way to go. He was a school junkie, back in the time(the 70's), when in Canada...university education was basically...free! So he did University..for 9 years straight. One of Canada's finest universities, as well. Of course, he says, pleasure reading (Sci-fi, etc) is done at the normal speed.

Yeah..but first you need to invent "Atomi-cap!"
Instructions and info in atomi-cap packaging:
The new infinite charge-discharge rate capacitor! Superconductive in six dimensions! Only one charge allowed, though. As soon as you do so, it dissappears from this dimension. Then you have to try and figure out how to get it back. At that point, you can only see it in your dreams. Discharge it there..and it comes back to this dimension. If improperly charged, it may appear in your past, and cause quantum flux and flow issues and split that particular universe into another of the infinite possibilities that exist within the scope of 'forward time'.
This is the reason behind the mystery part you sometimes come across when you find extra capacitors on your bench after sewing up a given piece of gear. You screwed up in the future and split some universes. You might find that when you come out of your basement hidey-hole and go upstairs for dinner...three hours have been somehow lost.....that the wife seems...just slightly different...she's looking at you kinda funny. Maybe the dog is a different color, or the food is a bit cold, as in this new universe, they eat their food cold. But seemingly, only you do. Very odd.

I never 'made it' over there. Always curious......
The one time, we were in Germany and were within striking distance of Amsterdam. About 4 hours on the autobahn at 100mph (165k/hr), or so. We were going to crash the company card with the $10k deposit for North American idiots who wanted to rent a Carerra S4 and go autobahn slamming. I was going to be forced to drive as my bud was likely to be too screwed up to drive back. We argued that point. "You drive!" "No, you drive!", etc. We never ended up going. Too bad.

The “popping neurons” comment was a vague (we all know how you like vague) allusion to your numerous proclamations of the superior uber-wired synaptic system you fancy yourself owning. It just seems to me, that someone with all that mental horsepower could easily figure out why I found the juxtaposition of a cute fuzzy kitty batting the hanging corpse of a maniac dictator, like a ball on a string, funny. You could certainly think less of me for finding it so, but the why should be self evident.
As for the following diatribe on your recommended path to a “super brain”..What-The-Hell..we were talking about swinging corpses and kitties..remember? I have little doubt your a bright guy, but damn, you really need to work on that linear thinking thing. Just imagine what could be accomplished if you meshed that skill with the ones you already “master”..look out Stephen Hawkin.

Well, valvetuder, We all state it differently. I like to share and pull some guts our every now and then and say, 'see!', as in...maybe you can do so too, iffin' you so desire. or not. (where's the shrug smiley? I've said it before, we need one.) from my understanding, we can all get to some sort of synaptic extra bitty wits if we want to. It usually isn't easy, though. Too bad. I'd like it to be that way.
I don't think less of you at all for the joke. The joke I don't mind and appreciate. I don't know if you are aware of the man's origins, as we are not allowed to speak of such on this forum, and his death was a total travesty of justice, and was infact a fullly blown cover up to protect those who would be implicated in a real and actual investgation. This sort of thing is not unusual on the world stage. That was the part that remains unspoken, and it enrages me to no end. I'm all against injustice and lies, and that one was one of the great cover ups of all time. Right up there. Basically..they hung their own dog. And done (the hanging) at a time to specifally foment war and anger, as well. Extremely vile, in the least. The worst kind of animals. Which is why the four headed beast from the west should be up there swinging too, but they are merely someone else's lap dog. Go after the dog's owner.
