I don't get any TV... it's evil

I honestly don't mind Taco Bell at all.. they have vegan options there too.. and all Taco Bells I've been to haven't messed up either.. just speak slowly and firmly and they get it.. I haven't bought any other fast food in at least a year, almost a year and a half.. I think any place that serves food has their share of horror stories

everyone puts chemicals in your food.. if you ever come across it, rent 'The Future Of Food' it's not about the meat industry at all actually, it's about genetic modification of vegetables and grains and the legal battles some people have had to go through and the destruction of family farms that the legal battles have caused.. it's very interesting

http://www.meetyourmeat.com is pretty brutalhttp://www.goveg.com/FAQs.asp has good information

I think they should do some high diving competitions off of that

so what happens when they run a little too fast after that ball?

AHH!! THE TWO TUBE LIGHTS! they drove me nuts for two weeks, I couldn't figure it out.. but when I tell you, you're probably going to kick yourself, or just chuckle for the lack of instructions broadway provides for their cases.. on the front USB/Firewire panel, press the button that's on the left.... there you go I could never spend 900 on a case, no matter how cool it kept my CPU, I guess I'll stick to the basic cases.. I like thermaltake cases a lot but I know after about a week I'd get fed up with the door thing that's on it covering the CD-Rom drives and rip it off.. I don't like things covering my CD drives, I want to get 2 slot load DVD-Burners in my comp. but they're PRICEY compaired to a reg DVD-Burner or DVD-Rom.. I guess I'll have to wait

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811162012 Broadway case, the ratings are bad on it but I like the looks of it, so I went for it anyway.. I'm pleased with it, it came with a crack in the bottom part where the front ports are, but you can't see it really and they're still usable.. the front panel is nice too as long as you're not sitting lower than your computer.. and the CD doors / front USB port door that come with it are real cheap, but I don't use them anyway.. overall it's definately worth 46 dollars even if it did come cracked I just googled the temp probe thing too.. the only way you can put a temp probe between the CPU and Heatsink is if your heatsink is notched out for it.. I guess some people cut them in themselves and some heatsinks come with it notched already.. I won't be doing any cutting, so I'll just put the probe on the heatsink somewhere if it's not cut
-
the temp probes are for a front display on the case, I can find out the CPU temp through a program that came with the driver CD for the motherboard, but the front display is fun and I plan on uninstalling the motherboard program anyway because I never use it.. there are 3 temp probes the front display has, CPU, VGA and HD, right now I have the HD one on the bottom of the HD, the VGA one is on my heatsink of the VGA and the CPU is on the bottom of the stock heatsink I have.. but I want to get it closer to the processor if possible and I figured I'd deal with it when I got a different heatsink
-
how is that heatsink? I just bought one off newegg yesterday for my Athlon 64 so I should see it around tuesday of next week.. it seems to be the best one I could find also, this is the first computer I've had with temperature probes, does anyone know if you can put the CPU probe right between the heatsink and processor in the thermal grease? I wouldn't see why not, it's thin and small

How To Save an Hour (Or More) On XP Installs
RiversideTruss replied to DataAve's topic in Computers/Networking
AMD Athlon 64 939 3500 Venice processor, 2 gigs of Patriot DDR Ram, MSI motherboard w/ AGP, PCI and PCI express slots, ASUS 128 bit graphics card, western digital 74 gig 10,000 RPM SATA HD maybe 939 would still be a good way to go because maybe the current ones already produced will go cheap, plus when it gets time to switch out a processor, putting in an extra 50 - 75 bucks for a motherboard wouldn't be too bad, and you get to upgrade your motherboard -
How To Save an Hour (Or More) On XP Installs
RiversideTruss replied to DataAve's topic in Computers/Networking
I just built an AMD machine for myself, it was the first time I built a machine from the ground up and it took me about 3 hours.. it was alright except for all those little wires to connect to the motherboard, blah.. but I'd definately do it again.. I'd even do that for a job if I could, I liked it -
you can cook veggies and get rid of bacteria too, but insecticides and bacteria are 2 different things, insecticides can be normally washed off, but I still try to avoid that.. diets high in soy can create problems too, thats why I lean more towards veggies and beans where possible.. I like health stores but I've never taken any vitamins at all, I've never really liked them.. the Bahamas sounds scary with all it's expenses and stuff, I don't think I ever want to go there anymore.. and all of the healthiest people have been vegetarians and/or vegan, and even some of the smartest.. Lance Armstrong and Albert Einstein are the only ones I can think of right now.. even the healthiest dog to ever live was vegan, it lived to be 27 years old in Sweden or somewhere and had a strict vegan diet.. and videos of cattle being slaughtered are nothing compaired to the fur trade videos.. those are HORRIBLE.. when I became vegetarian the videos were what caught my attention, but the facts were what made me change
-
grow a garden? if they do that with the veggies, God only knows what they do to the meat.. your place sounds scary with all the taxes and shipping fees and port fees or whatever you call them, and now insecticides.. I'd move
-
but it's not a requirement in a vegan/vegetarian diet, just something for an easy transfer to one.. veggies, beans, nuts, grains etc will always be available everywhere.. I rarely do fake meats anymore.. most of my diet consists of veggies, spices, breads, pasta, grains, beans and spices.. and some tofu
-
MorningStar stuff is alright, I can't eat it now though because 95% of Morningstar products have eggs and/or dairy in them.. but fake meats are a good start Morningstar Fakin is real good, the sausage flavor reminds me of stove top stuffing but I'm really not sure why.. it'd be better with maple syrup probably.. I recently bought some LiteLife fake bacon but have yet to try it, most of LiteLife stuff is vegan.. LiteLife fake pastrami with vedalia onion, mustard on pumpernickle bread reminds me exactly of a liverwurst and onion sammich
-
nah, c'mon now, it's easy.. they make fake meats that are a good start to it, they don't taste exactly like meat, but they're pretty good.. and the way I look at it is that I don't really want it to taste exactly like meat anyway.. as long as it's good and filling then I don't care.. I used to be an avid meat eater, but I turned that around in one day, anyone can do it
-
yeah, it's all unnecessary really.. I used to think we needed to eat meat and that it was natural.. but I've done a lot of research and picked the path I found best.. something that doesn't support what's in the link above and something that puts me on the way to be the healthiest I could ever be.. if anyone has any questions let me know!
-
unless you're talking about health factors.. but staying in line with the thread, your statement is true, what you don't know just hurts animals in ways that can be prevented
-
it's not just KFC though, it's all corporate chicken farming.. I'm vegan though, so my moral slate is clean of that
-
I like the idea of building a box and having the DVR unit heat itself.. then having another ventalated box for the summer to keep it cooler.. I'd still worry about condensation though, which then you might need an actual heater w/ a fan and such built in a box.. but on another note, I live in the northeast as well.. today the high was 20, low was 0.. but that's pretty warm compaired to last year.. last year we averaged -20 to -30 every morning, getting a high of -5 to 0 every day

Hiding and Protecting Exposed Cable
RiversideTruss replied to Jasper's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Is that beam definately solid? I'd be afraid of drilling in only to find out it's a metal I-beam boxed in. Is it a structural beam? I'd also be afraid of drilling into it and voiding any engineering if it's structural. -
Jasper, can you take a few images from the clip and circle what you see and post it?

PTZ control wire
RiversideTruss replied to RiversideTruss's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
thanks! this helps out a lot, now I actually get to run the wire.. joy -
We're self-installing cameras in our production plant for mostly night surveillance. So far we've used Aventura Technologies for equipment and are about to do wiring, but we want all options to be open and plan on the possibility of a PTZ camera to replace the B&W exterior cameras we're currently putting out there. So my question is are all PTZ control wires the same? Aventura uses what they call an 18.2 control wire and they say it's universal, but I'm assuming it's universal with the PTZ's they sell. Is it? If not, what would be the best wire to go with? Our run is 240' through brick, insulation, and metal rafters and won't be fun, so we want to do it all in one shot and get it over with. Thanks! Kevin
