    There are no Atmos specific speakers, so you can use prexisting ones. We had a 7.1 set up, and added two speakers mounted in front, in the ceiling and facing down, and an Atmos receiver. Total spend was $3,600 for those three pieces, and it was worth every bit. As one reviewer said, this is...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    We just added Dolby Atmos to our home theatre. OMG, this feels like it's close to IMAX quality. The feeling you get when you listen to it is like the feeling you got when you first heard surround sound, or saw HD programming. We'll never go back to regular surround sound.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    So, it's dawned on me that it won't take that much more money to be completely debt free in this bitch by December 2017. I could write a big check now, but don't want to hurt working capital in the least. I like to have three months' cash for operations on hand at all times, in case of a...

    LOL, that's fine. At the end of the day, I never change anything. I still use an aol email address from the dawn of the internet. My phone number hasn't changed in almost 15 years. I'd rather have a handle that means something to me. I can't remember the last time I loaded up EQ on my HD.

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    Sorry, I'm not into guys, but Keg apparently now is, so hit him up.

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    UT is ranked #14 in Forbes and 17 for US News and World Report. Top 20 is the definition of T1. When I was there, it was higher for Business Week, which means nothing now anyway, that I'm self employed. Rick Perry has been on a push to more the program more inclusive (meaning lower standards...

    TNA Reportedly Being Sued for Unpaid Travel Bills, Company "Probably" Filing for Bankruptcy Soon As I said, when the State and Billy Corgan filed suit over unpaid debts, this causes a domino effect where there are so many creditors in line demanding so much, that it causes bankruptcy. I have...

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    Actually, I was already an Executive at the age of 30 by the time I was accepted into a t1 MBA program. I was the only in my cohort already an Executive. And I became an Executive by the time I was 30 because I outsold everyone else in the country for years, and there were 500 of us in the...

    In all seriousness, you already are gay, so no lie is needed.

    Here, insurance will do everything they can to not pay. And since the Employer is the one who has to pay increased premiums for the next three years, they fight also. In this case, the Employee has health care that would cover the medical expenses. Unfortunately, he was offering to put the...

    Oh, one thing I left out. We were just approved as a vendor for a Fortune 100 company's HQ. They will take the work and split it up between us and one other company. They've already rented my company for two days in the last two months. A contract is imminent. I'd try to get excited over...

    I believe insurance turned down his entire claim, from sheer stupidity. There are supposed to be two safety harnesses used. He didn't wear one. The other one, he cut through, because he wasn't pay attention. Now he has a broken leg and back, and his pecker doesn't work. Work comp is spelled...

    Thanks. I'm still advertising heavy, but my total budget is down from last year by about 20k. We used to generate so many calls, that 15% of the jobs were already done before we could get to the customer's house. It was overkill. As far as tracking mediums, it's getting harder and harder...

    I dunno. Now that I'm managing, I don't have time to step away. I own my business, but it owns me. Where I used to have time to take off and take a vacation, or sit in my office and play MMO's, that's gone. On the flipside, I'm paying myself and my wife 10k a month (from the jobs we...

    I'm done with the Lyrical handle. I wanted to see how long it would take for people to figure it out. Honestly, the handle made sense when I was playing EQ day and night in 1999, on my bard. It makes no sense to me anymore, I haven't played that game in a long ass time.

    There's not much new to say. Sales are down about 10% this year, but profits are up. I did a lot of cost cutting last year. We paid off probably 5 to 7 loans last year. My wife absorbed the Secretary position, and I'm managing full time. So we pay ourselves what they were making, plus what...

    You wish. Honestly, it went like a year with no one asking for updates, so I figured there wasn't any interest. And I was getting trolled too much in my own thread. Too many people telling me I'm doing it wrong that have never managed anything in their lives. edit: no one posted in the...

    Forbes magazine is claiming that John Cena may turn heel. I just repeated this out loud and my kids got pissy. My six year old has been yelling at me for 15 minutes now. He keeps saying I made it up, and John Cena is a good guy. He's accusing me of falsifying the webpage that reported it...

    Arrow

    We'll have to wait and see. In the comics, Prometheus is like Batman in that he'll use any tool or weapon to win. His helmet downloads him strats on the fly and allows him to download people's fighting moves. Apparently, he can clone Batman or Lady Shiva's movesets. Personally, I'd love to...

    It would be nice if there was one villain that all four shows were fighting against. It would make it more epic. I seem to vaguely remember Prometheus killing Red Arrow's kid and chopping his arm off, all to make Green Arrow suffer. They have some history.

    When you see a fellow employee try to go sober after having four cocaine induced heart attacks at the age of 35, to be disowned by his entire family after stealing his kids' PC's they use for school, and see him living out of his truck because rent money goes for drugs, you have a different...

    Tobacco and booze are legal. Drugs are not. You guys can keep high-fiving yourselves in and out of rehab all you want, it's your life to waste. When you've seen the heartbreak of someone's wives or children when someone loses their shit to cocaine, heroine or meth, that's all you need to see.

    The Supergirl version of Superman is killing the movie version already. I'm glad my kids get to see this version of him. Conjecture has it that he's on the show, because Cadmus is going to make a clone of him, and have Superboy on this show also.

    Yes, it is a remake. And it was being re-run this past weekend on one of smaller cable channels. I remember it being weird also, but I was a kid then.
