What did your wife say?

Maybe you will need an armed guard.
My golden retriever will handle that task. She will thwart any would-be attacker with her love and desire for belly rubs.
Wow congrats, that's huge! I am trying to donate but PayPal is unresponsive right now, eventually I will manage it.
AM I THE ONLY PERSON WITHOUT A GODDAMNED NFS WHERE IS MY STIMULUS CHECK
That is foresight! Does she possibly mean check your insurance? Nothing against a golden retriever, but ...
Have fun with it
Like what? Your child becomes the best NFS operator in the world!?!?

Stimulus? What's that?

I know Amir is on the right because he's older but... I really don't wanna be the dude with the rat-tail.
Don't worry, we love Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi equally, regardless of age.I know Amir is on the right because he's older but... I really don't wanna be the dude with the rat-tail.
Also, I'm pretty sure Kenobi's braid at that time was just because he was a Padawan, and still training to become a Jedi Knight, at which point the braid will be cut.

How much was the NFS, all told?Man, I don't know what kind of stimulus you were expecting but mine didn't even cover the shipping!
When you sit on a sub.Stimulus? What's that?

Speaker manufacturers...
Great news.

If you want to offset some of the costs, you could consider doing evaluations of speakers for a fee. From, for example, small manufacturers or DIY people. Not sure how much business that would generate, but it might be interesting.
Yeah, Amir measured those Verdant speakers; not sure if the guy paid Amir, or if Amir just wanted unconditional rights to publish results, but the owner originally was going to use Excelsior Audio, and their site claims for regular speakers that they charge $1300 for the on-axis chart/sensitivity, impedance, max input, and 1 orientation polar plot, $700 for the other orientation. That’s $2000 for Spinorama data.
Congrats! Now what I say will probably amount to blasphemy, but one suggestion is to consider a methodology for measuring soundbars. I know it's been mentioned before that Klippel doesn't do that, but I figured that it'll be an interesting challenge. You'll be the first!
I have not gotten any payments for past testing/reviews. I either publish something and don't charge, or charge and results only belong to the company. They can give permission to publish but this has not happened. All in all, only once have I done testing for any company for payment and that was an electronic product. I have a couple companies asking me about doing private testing but nothing has happened yet.
So I would say the market at least right now is exceptionally limited for this kind of work for hire.
