How To Hook Up Your Home Theater
« on: October 27, 2015, 01:14:33 PM »
Walt Disney has released a collection of animated short films to Netflix. For those wanting a comprehensive guide to home theater, scroll to the 24 minute mark. Animators have embraced classic Goofy and added a modern twist. Fair warning... you will laugh. A lot.  :rofl:

^ I know what you mean.  Been there, wiring up the Testing Lab at Creedmoor State Hospital.  (I don't think it's still a hospital.)

Got a pair of  those long 12-outlet power strips from Harbor Freight to help "discipline" my own under-the-coffee-table wiring mess.  IIRC, they've got 14 ga wiring as opposed to the crappy 20 ga some of them have.

Not much power flow at any one time to my stuff, but what with all the periphs using wall warts, it's getting pretty snake-pitty down there.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It's Netflix.

I found it last night.  Full of chuckles.  =D

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

At least the professionals who bring power, phone and cable signals TO your home can be relied on to do a neat and proper routing job.

My God, those wiring are surely like spagetti and could be very dangerous to all including the homeowner. Where is this located?
