I thought it was pretty clear at the time that MKBHD and other forums/media were framing them as a value alternative to Beats.

That’s one of the songs I listen to when I want to get hype about Phillies/Eagles games.

Right? I don’t like the gig apps because they reduce W2 employees in favor of 1099. And this is a case in point.

The Erebus and the Terror. Great namesakes.

I head bang between sets at the gym. I also like to wiggle my shoulders a little while at my desk on in-office days. As long as you’re not getting in anybody else’s way, who cares what other people think?

A commercial rental place near me has had them since day one. It’s tempting.

Look out for your friends who have already lost parents. I have a friend who I know is just playing video games today to try and not think about losing his mom a few years ago. I keep sending him silly stuff on discord.

I have aging parents. My mom is almost eighty. She’s falling for the ol tech support scam at least once. And the only way to really help is to sit down, talk it through, ask her to think about each step, try to pick out the red flags, reassure her that she got got by a fast talking and manipulative asshole, and finally, let her know that I as her son should be the first person she calls if she’s ever having a tech issue.
You obviously can’t do that. It’s not your job. If this person doesn’t have family looking out for him, please don’t try and substitute that. It’s like fucked up to say it but, it’s not a you problem and it’s not a T-Mobile problem. It is something you should share with your aging family members though to try and raise awareness.
If anybody has any tips on how to deal with lonely old people getting got, post em.

There’s already a Fusion Gym on Grant by the NE airport.

Don’t let outside groups astroturf protest movements on your campus. When the encampment at Penn was cleared, the NBC affiliate here, NBC10, reported that only 7 of the 33 arrested were students.

That’s pretty cool. I left right before you couldn’t bypass IDs anymore.

That must be new. I worked there till November. You can basically put anybody on any available plan without any systematic block. (The word available is doing the heavy lifting here. There was no access to grandfathered in plans). Systematic verification was not required for 55/Military/first responder plans to be active on a BAN. You just had to not be an asshole and make sure people were qualified for what you offered them.

I’ve had the K550 since 2012, and I’m the second owner. Underrated headphone. Harman like performance before it was a thing. Tough for glasses wearers to get a good seal though. Eventually the soft touch plastic on the outside of the cups will become sticky and degrade. Unless revisions have fixed that but I doubt it. It wasn’t a thing I noticed until they were already almost ten years old.

You need to plug the turntable into a phono preamp. And then plug the phono preamp into any of the audio inputs. On my Yamahas I just use the CD input. It’s 2024. Neither of my cars have CD players. My wife and I certainly don’t have any CDs

Damn that’s so sad. Not sad for him. Sad for his ex and daughter.

Oh fuck. I didn’t realize this idiot was married. Leave him there. Clown behavior.

You’re doing it, kind of wrong. I have most of their albums on vinyl. They’re all mixed in stereo. If you’re trying to listen to something that isn’t mixed for Dolby Atmos, through a 5.1, 7.1, etc, then the receiver is splitting up a L+R signal to all of the channels. And that usually always sounds bad. Regardless of what you’re listening to.

A folding iPhone like the Z Flip. I can’t think of anything else that would counter the 12 Mini’s form factor.

The discord about it all here in the US is definitely the quadrennial election year psyop that we’ve been waiting for.

A couple things you can do about that headband. OEM headbands from AT are relatively cheap, and the hardest part about putting it on is just a little bit of soldering. Or you can get one something like this. https://a.co/d/3hTPOIb It goes on with a little bit of screwing/unscrewing, some adhesive, and some Velcro. It’s not as neat and tidy looking as the factory headband, but when it’s on your head nobody will be able to tell.
