Being buried alive is way up high on my list of ways that I do not want to die. And just reading the word "crawlspace" makes me of John Gacy.
Have you watched The Vanishing? The original Dutch version
Sorry for the off topic everyone 🙂
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
And I realize that there are those that don’t believe in either
Assuming you use a power conditioner and after market power cords, do you feel that the power cord from the power conditioner to the wall might be a limiting or even a negating factor to the performance of the after market power cords that run from the power conditioner to the gear?
The reason I ask is that I was about to embark upon some more experimentation with different power cords and where I plugged them into when I discovered that the aftermarket cords I had purchased before and some recent arrivals are actually a meter shorter than the ones that came with the gear. This doesn’t matter for the amp due to its location, but when I did my last power cord upgrade I ran my CDP and pre into a conditioner so the length for those didn’t matter either, but as I was doing the musical chairs with power cords thing today, I also was intending to run the CDP and pre straight into the wall on separate dedicated circuits, but I found out that I am a tad short on those two.
Which doesn’t preclude me from moving my dedicated circuit outlets up a couple of feet, and I suppose I probably will, but I was curious as to the opinions about the limitations of a power conditioners power cord.

No problems on the off topic, @devinplombier ; anyway I had to google to make sure I was thinking about the same movie, and the one I saw had Kiefer and Jeff Bridges (and since I wasn't as tuned to actors and actresses back then as I am now, I just realized Sandra Bullock, who I usually enjoy a lot). So I am thinking that this is not the original Dutch version. Anyway, I think I've only watched that movie once, but I do remember that it bothered me ('bothered me' is the best I can do at the moment) considering the notion of someone being put in a box and buried alive. Man, that would be terrible. I can only imagine the insanity that would precede death by hypoxia. But I do not like to imagine it. I typed that it was way up high on my list of ways I don't want to die, but thinking about it, it may be at the very top of that list. I've seen a couple or so movies since that involve someone being buried alive in a box, and it never fails to get to me. I almost cannot watch it. |
. . . since we are already off topic, I'll go on to say that whenever I work underneath one of my vehicles (which I do frequently) I do a real THOROUGH job of supporting it. Going out that way is also high up on my list of ways not to, although I would prefer it to being buried alive in a box. Thinking of working for an extended period of time in 18" of crawlspace made me think of that. The crawlspace, however, would trigger my claustrophobia while being underneath a vehicle doesn't. |
. . . staying off topic, @devinplombier , this all made me think of another movie I saw a while back ago, and I had to do a google because I forgot the name of it, but it was The Last Descent. Anyway, it was apparently based on factual events that occurred in 2009 in a cave in Utah when two brothers were out spelunking together and one of them decided to go down a tunnel that led just about straight down (as in inverted) where he got stuck and (after doing another google) spent 27 hours before expiring. And as I remember from the movie, he was so stuck that they never did recover his body as the risk of collapse of the cave would have been too great. I remember watching that and being overcome by my own claustrophobia. |
