Abby is having a Halloween party. I found an infrasound and subsonic sound scape generator on the internet and I'm hooking up the big Klipschorns right now.

This does not bode well for the future of Twitter under Musk's ownership: Musk Spreads Baseless Conspiracy About Attack On Pelosi's Husband

"Musk linked out to a story, which is no longer accessible, in an online conservative rag called the Santa Monica Observer claiming that the suspect did not break into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home hunting for Nancy.

Instead the invisibly sourced “story” alleged that Paul Pelosi, 82, was having a liaison with a male sex worker.

While others have also hinted at this rumor—twisting themselves into pretzels to explain such details as the broken window and a 911 call—none of them have the reach or influence of Musk.

And the outlet he cited is particularly unreliable. As the Los Angeles Times has reported, Santa Monica Observer has been the source of other patently false, ridiculous articles, including one that a body double for Hillary Clinton was sent to a debate with Donald Trump and that Kanye West was given a top job in the Interior Department.

. . .

The irresponsible fact-free post went up just hours after Nancy Pelosi said in a statement that she and her family are “heartbroken and traumatized” by the attack on Paul, which left him with a fractured skull that had to be repaired in surgery."

Soooo is Musk wrong? Surely the wondeful and honorable Speaker has armed security and cameras, which they should post the footage of how this travesty came about. This dude must have been some kind of underwear wearing ninja to get by all that? Funny how Pauli is always getting into trouble when the queen is out of town…
 
To me it seems pretty likely it was one of those Qanon nut jobs.


Let's keep politics out of this thread. People can't tell real from make believe anymore. No matter what your particular political leanings are, they're probably wrong.

Pity the Klipschorns roll off pretty hard below ~33Hz IIRC.

If you had some sealed subs that could do fairly high SPLs between 7 - 19Hz, you could have some fun.

Most commercial theaters roll off hard below 30 - 40Hz (even IMAX theaters) simply because it takes a huge amount of power to produce high SPLs and pressurize the large room volumes (and is even harder to isolate those high SPLs at really low Hz. When Mann's Chinese theater installed infrasonic subs for the debut of the movie Earthquake, during testing, it shook the place hard enough that plaster fell from the ceiling 😮. They put up safety nets inside the theater).

High SPL LFE is easier to do with smaller/HT sized rooms 😁.

It's why HT bassheads appreciate sound mixers/engineers like Randy Thom, who've mixed movie soundtracks to include LFE down to as low as 3Hz 😮.

I don't even have a prayer of reproducing 3Hz with my setup (some day, perhaps, when I can build a sound isolated HT equipped with a Thigpen rotary sub), but a lot of his audio tracks include LFE that will never be heard (felt?) in commercial theaters, and only a small percentage of bass nuts will build setups capable of reproducing them.

Scenes from the War Of The Worlds remake with Tom Cruise are one of my favorite bass demos (it's fun to watch the scene where the alien pod emerges at THX Reference calibrated levels, and as the ground is cracking onscreen, my walls and floor are shaking 😅), but specifically wrt to what you mentioned, there's a scene in the first The Hunger Games (right as they're about to announce the selections), that includes an infrasonic effect (~19Hz IIRC?). It's inaudible, but causes a visceral reaction that makes your body tense. It's really cool.

I've been thinking about the CPK Bowie. It seems to be on everyone's mind these days. I am not not NOT going to go there. I am drawing the line. But...

What about a CPK chain saw???? 🤔

D3V chain.

"An expansion from one of the capabilities of the original Shiv design, i.e. breaching a loophole in brick/concrete/cinderblock walls, the CPK D3V chain allows you to use a chainsaw to make convenient doorways through said material, wherever you like..."

Not really, but we did a bunch of stuff over the weekend. This is probably the last year for my youngest to go trick or treating.

Mine either, but most of the parties were over the weekend.

Thigpen is where it's at for infrasound! Ever heard one? It's pretty amazing, and a really cool piece of tech (why didn't I think of that? 🤔). I want to try to build my own someday.

I will go there, so long as Nathan will let me buy one of them! ;) Pretty please Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist ??? (Hell, begging worked for Timmy... 🤣 )
