Why do radio stations keep playing the same stuff over and over?

Reply in thread

I had a boss in an office that decided to have an Alice in Wonderland themed pot luck. She turned on the movie on repeat. Then she just never turned off the movie. It was on a screen on low volume right in front of my desk for weeks. She had an office, I didn't. Eventually I sent her an email saying it was phycological torture after like week 3 to have the same movie playing on repeat for 8 hours Monday thru Friday.

I also worked at a video store once that we had to play the promotional DVD on repeat. It was about 2 hours long of footage over and over and we couldn't turn it down.

Update - Wrong size car speaker installation advice

Reply in thread

I appreciate your detailed response! I decided it's way too much fucking work and with 2 sets of 6x9's alone would sound like shit anyway.

Even though I'm not doing this, I did find an interesting solution if you're good at building shit. Speaker pods. There are custom ones you can have built if you wanna drop $200 per door but they essentially mount to your door and you can have multiple speakers in them or just one bigger one. They are pretty cool if you have a full aftermarket setup! If I ever pull the trigger on a project car, I'll be looking into these but it's just not worth it for my daily driver.

White I have you, got any recommendations for good 6x9'e in the back and 6.5's in the front for around $100 a pair and a stock head unit? My car is a 2018 Altima (the one without the Bose system unfortunately). My goal is to make it have good bass for no amp or subwoofer in the back and some crisp clear sound in the front.

The ones I'm returning are the Kicker 350W ES series. I'm probably gonna dump the Kicker brand all together. I truly wish I could upgrade my head unit but because my dash is a dumb shape it's hard to find an after market head unit that doesn't stick out or just look horrible! I tried to install 3 over the years supposedly made for the Altima only for them to stick out, not fit, have the completely wrong wiring in them.

After doing some research, this is what I found out. To mount a bigger speaker in a smaller mount I'm probably gonna have to cut a bigger hole.. if I'm comfortable with that (big fucking if there), I'm gonna have to worry about the window glass hitting the speaker. I have 2 pairs and I only opened one box to check the contents....

I guess it's back to the store Info tomorrow to make an exchange unless anybody has a really easy solution for me! I'm never trusting Gemini again

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation

Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you're being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.

Engine auto-off

I just got a car that shuts off when stopped. I hate it. Especially when you stop at a stop sign for a second too long and it shuts off then you hit the gas and it hesitates because it has to literally start the engine before moving.

lore accurate siblings

Third brother is the youngest by like 4 years and the other two brothers are only 2 years apart. Nobody actually has superpowers but the oldest brother just secretly fell into some money and is a bit crazy and impulsive.

I'd watch that! Make it a limited series!
