Sake Used to Make Wooden Speakers
geeber writes "And you thought Sake was only good with Sushi? Well, think again! IEEE Spectrum has an article on how JVC has used sake to enable making speaker cones out of wood. Wood has a wide frequency response which makes it desirable as a material for speaker cones. However Toshikatsu Kuwahata worked for 20 years trying to make the cones out of wood without cracking. Finally he discovered that soaking the wood in sake (but not whiskey) made the wood pliable enough to form into a speaker cone. So let's raise our glasses and toast those clever engineers as we crank up the volume!"
Trolling about my fantasy life on Slashdot?
Where do I sign up!!!!!!!!!
Just how small is you fucking penis?
Do you even have one? Maybe you were born one of those gender confused children who had hermaphroditic qualities and you look something akin to Pat from SNL?
Don't worry, I'm sure some fat nasty slob will let you rent out your asshole for a few nights crashing at his place living off of the next BJ you pick up at the truck stop.
I hope that Herpes doesn't bother you too much...
With politicians like you, who in America needs enemies?
I use titles such as 'Sake used to make wooden speakers', as if the story covers some technological breakthrough.
My name is Rob Malda, and I'm an alcoholic. I occasionally get drunk and post troll stories to Slashdot.
Because seriously, it disturbs me that so many people buy into all of these mass market, cheap, convenient things which are set before them. Like lambs to the slaughter, eh? McDonald's, Starbucks, BUDWEISER, you see where I'm going with this?
Those poor simpletons and their easy, enjoyable choices. If only they had the money and inclination to always go out of their way to only buy the most expensive and inconvenient version of every product they ever wished to purchase, why, I guarantee you there would be several thousand fewer neanderthals in THIS country!
If only they had the sensibilities that WE have, and our ability to look down our noses at everything we deem inferior. I mean, I feel your irritation at items that are easily affordable and pleasing to gigantic market segments, brother. And what a surprise it is that practically everyone gravitates toward the most obvious choices! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? Those fucking sheep.
