The difference between valve and tube

[byacey]

The circles we have here are larger, so depending on traffic in the circle, theoretically a vehicle at every entrance to the circle could enter at the same time without inconveniencing the other drivers; but when there is traffic within the circle, you have to yield to the vehicles approaching from the left (N. America) within the circle.

If an approaching vehicle is far enough back in the circle, it's no problem to enter well before it get around to where you are merging in.
I just went through all of this recently teaching my daughter to drive.

We have some of those mini circles in some residential areas, where there is barely room in the circle for one vehicle, so it can quickly plug up when everyone is rushing to, or from work.
On some of our minor highway intersections, they have been implementing traffic circles, and they seem to work well. It forces people to slow down at the intersection and eliminates drivers running through a stop sign.

The girl with the dragon tattoo or one of the ones in that series.

Just wanna say I loved the Euro series - Dan Craig's not so much but it was OK. I don't recall any roundabouts, but there was that bridge scene ...

Brit vs american aside, I was in an audio fair some years ago, and a guy with a not so perfect english was trying to explain about a "vulve" amplifier.

Here a roundabout primer/refresher for those that don’t have them where they live.


whoops, how did that get here?

oh well. Carry on.

 

[Patrice B]

You all have it wrong Brits and US neighbors: here in Québec (French speaking) it’s « ampli à lampes » or direct translation, « bulb amplifiers »…

 

[vvvmmm]

Tube or not tubey, that is a question.

Really good video BTW. He is a good teacher…

Boy did this thread take a "turn"

I'm trying to learn this riff, but now I'm not sure what a pick-op is...

The duodenum is just the beginning part of the small intestine. No valve function there... There is a sphincter between stomach and the duodenum.... I'll spare the pictures if you don't mind...

There is. I think it's called the pyloric valve. My reference: A Confederacy of Dunces.

Dumb question: what's a Geordie?

Been to the UK a few times (even a year of school in Leeds at age 5), but never heard of a Geordie ...

Here in Canada we call them traffic circles.

If you are in the circle, you have the right of way, and drivers about to enter have to yield to traffic already within the circle until there is a safe opportunity to enter. In light to moderate traffic this works well if the other drivers understand how it works, but in heavy rush hour and gridlock, traffic is at a standstill within the circle, so it blocks traffic flow in all directions.

Same here in Boston, except we call them rotaries. Not to be confused with members of the Rotary Club, which are called rotarians.

Spoken like a guy who has fine mesh instead of glass shielding him when he drives his car, and stows his gear in a tall work shoe attached to the back of the car.

Yea… and what about all the Rhyming stuff. And where did “white widow super cheese” come from. ???

I'm going in next week for cardiac catheterization because of a possibly defective valve. I'd rather send an amplifier in my place -- tubes are socketed, my valve isn't.

I play through a Marshall VBA 400 amp. For those who struggle with English, Marshall prints
"Valve Bass Amplifier" under the logo.

Maybe you will be able to give us the definitive answer to "what valve is best for metal"? Oh, and good luck with the procedure.

It’s SVT, not STT

I like valves in the pre-amp stage so I can control the volume, tubes in the power amplifier to help the sound flow out faster and smoother.
There are no valves used in metal, no need to control the volume, full blast all the way through the amp.
Metal = big tubes.
Heavy metal = lead tubes.

You probably don't know this, but there actually are metal tubes:
Ever wondered about those American Metal Valves?
