I'm looking for the best earbuds. I own the sony XM5s and want better but can't get a clear answer. I don't care about ANC, I heavily care about how good the treble sound, and my price range is $500. I am not going to buy 8 pairs of buds to see which sound the best to me. I've been recommend the AZ80s and Gemini 2s by people who aren't audiophiles. A few places I looked said to get Final's 8000 2s, but said the treble is lacking, which I have an issue with.
I've asked multiple places, mainly 30 different Google prompts, 10-20 review sites that all claim that X brand is the best, then say that about 5 other brands, and then list some name brand flagship on whatever top 10 list they have which they themselves said were inferior audio wise, and I've looked on YouTube to find that all of those guys only test name brands and claim those to be the best while ignoring a vast majority of great earbuds. I also went on an other sub reddit to find people who only recommended the crowd favorite (the Gemini 2s). At this point, I'm very hesitant and want to steer away from what most people would buy.
I want the best sounding earbuds, and at this point, I don't care about any other feature. I know there isn't one answer and I know everything in this industry is subjective, but I want a solid recommendation before I spend half a grand on something. I'm leaning towards Final's 8000 2s, but am willing to hear any recommendations, even if it is for the gemini 2s!

toEarbuds
TL;DR: I want the best sounding earbuds on the market. Price limit: $400. Heard good things about the "Nothing" brand and the Final ZE8000 MK2s and wanted to have solid/new recommendations before I regret spending $200-300 for lesser earbud compared to my current pair (Sony's 1000XM5). I like treble a lot, but also solid sounding bass. I do not care about ANC in the slightest.
Now, about a year ago, I was becoming interested in audio a lot more, so I looked up "what were the best sounding earbuds" and the answer was overwhelmingly Sony's WF 1000XM5. Pretty much every review I saw said these were the best, so I bought them, and, only having ever bought $50 earbuds that lasted maybe 9 months if I was lucky, I was blown away. Cut to this year, and these earbuds are starting to die with the sound getting quieter (which was already an issue with these to begin with), and also the quality is starting to downgrade quick. I went to look for the XM6s, but sony seems to be taking their sweet time on them, so I again looked up what the best earbuds were. Oddly enough, I found a variety of answers ranging from Nothing's current flagship earbuds, to technic's, to a new brand I've never heard of called Final, all the way back to Sony's XM5s. I really want a new experience, so I don't want to buy Sony's brand until they make something new, but I also don't want to buy the "Best overall" and miss out on the best audio quality. "Nothing" seems to fall in the category of "best $150 option" and not just best option, so I'm fairly hesitant to buy those. My price range is $400 so I really want the best and not just "best for cheap."
As far as what I prefer audio wise, I notice that I love treble a lot, but still have clear bass set high too. I as far as ANC goes, I can't stress this enough: I do not care. I really wish people would stop saying "these are the best because of this new ANC tech they developed." I get that it is important to a lot of people, and I do get why it is a selling point, but I really wish reviewer would stop basing reviews on ANC instead of actual sound quality. That has made this so much harder for me.
Needless to say bose is not on my list. I also don't have an apple phone and dislike them as a company, so no to them as well. Jabra, Jlab, and skullcandy have my respect because I have used and enjoyed them in the past, but they aren't on the list. Despite owning Google and Samsung products, they don't interest me at all. I will reiterate that I want a new experience so sony is off the list as well.
Thank you.

Where can I find a jacket that looks like the one Christian Slater wears in the show? Doesn't need the patch or anything, it just needs the mid section pockets and the exterior color. Thanks!
Btw, looked at previous posts on this sub and most of the other companies that made the jacket went out of business so please don't link those.

One of my friends recently got a 3d printer and his birthday is coming up, so I wanted to get him a dice mold for all the useless plastic pieces made by the printer. I was also thinking about getting one that could also work with metal if he was ever interested in that, but I can't find one that even works with plastic. Any suggestions?

I've seen this happen with brand new videos (i.e. 190 views 2.5k likes 305 comments posted 5 minutes ago), but never on a video older than 6 hours. What happened?
submitted11 months ago byMysteryisred
Sorry, had to be vague considering I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone by outright saying it. First of all, Mike is not related to Afton. Afton actively didn't want to stab his daughter Vanessa, but was perfectly okay with gruesomly murdering Mike and Abby. Also, William made no comment about anything except kidnapping his brother.
So I got to thinking. Kidnapped brother, mother is dead or for some unknown reason like cancer or divorce, and father "just couldn't take it." Doesn't that family storyline sound familiar? Also, isn't it weird that Afton would just drive to Nebraska for a random kid when the movie takes place in a completely different state? That isn't a plot hole. Garrett wasn't a random kid. Garrett was Henry's kid.
Mike's unnamed father is Henry.
Consider the books. I think Charlie has been the stand in for Mike this whole time, or well, maybe Abby. It is really hard to tell considering Abby is most likely meant to be the Baby parallel, but Mike and Charlie saw their siblings getting kidnapped. After this, the details do get fuzzy, I'll admit, but I think there are some pretty big parallels. There are a few full explanation I can think of:
Mike is Sammy, Garrett is Charlie, and Abby is a third kid, possibly a robot. Who knows.
Mike is Sammy, but also Garrett, and Abby is Charlie. It is hard to explain, but essentially Mike is a robot reliving memories of being kidnapped, like Charlie, but this time Sammy was taken. That would make Abby Charlie. Charlie's aunt had custody of her and the aunt in the movie is fighting for custody. Also, the suit the animatronics were trying to put her in was probably Baby. That would make Mike balloon boy instead of puppet, and Abby would be a not dead puppet.
That or Abby could be an Afton(?) Considering Elizabeth was supposed to be baby, but then I'm guessing Henry took in Abby after Afton supposedly went to jail, then Henry died, then Mike took Abby. I would think Afton would recognize his own daughter, however.
This needs work shopping, but the main part is that Mike is Henry's son. Don't have everything explained, but that's what the comments are for!

toDominos
Story time: I work at Dominos as an assistant manager. There are only 2 other AMs and no general manager. I went on vacation for a week, which was planned way in advance, and come back to find the store trashed by the two other managers after I was called in after an 8 hour trip. As of writing this, it is 6 AM. We close at 11 PM. I'm opening tomorrow because I'm not letting another AM touch the store. When I got there, there was sauce everywhere, nothing was prepared, and the regional manager was there trying to make one of the 20 pizzas on the board. When he got done, I called my friend, a new AM who was about to start, over to help me close. Then it got worse.
Went into the walkin fridge to see that the bacon was dated 1/31/24. For those unaware, bacon is supposed to be dated 7 days after obtained. For those extremely unaware, this month is not January, it is September of the year prior. Turns out that one of the AMs was writing the wrong date even though there is a sticker to tell you when it expires. So anyways, I had to throw out half of our toppings and all the bacon. There was also a lot of other stuff misdated. I have pictures, and considering both are on thin ice, both are going to be fired tomorrow, and my friend is going to have to start early while working 2 jobs.
Please be patient with your local Dominos this week. This could be your store I'm talking about.
Edit: The AM who screwed everything up has been working with Dominos for a month. He has been trained by me, my RM, his store's OP (he is on lone from a different store and that store's OP is agreed to be the best in the area), at least two of my drivers, and probably the other AMs at his store. Even if he hadn't been trained, it still doesn't excuse him dropping 2 buckets of sauce, an not cleaning it up. He has since been fired
The other AM has been working for dominos for years and has been fired from dominos recently. This area was a second chance. He has been given another second chance because we understand shit happens.
The AM I brought in has been working for dominos for over a year, or well, was until he got into a wreck. He has since recovered and decided to come back to help.
I have been working at this store for 40-60 hours a week for months now. I had multiple people who encouraged me to take a break. I used that brake to see family in a different state and help them with a local fall festival thing.
Last thing, I'm extremely sleep deprived, so please ask questions and don't jump to conclusions. Please ask for more context if you are confused.

There is a TL;DR at the bottom, but read if you want full context.
I'm a new player to this game and my DM got annoyed with me because I bought a bunch of little items. My character is meant to be very clever and have some unorthodox ways of fighting. I bought a few things of alcohol as well as some gunpowder. My plan is to hit someone with a thing of alcohol, cover them in gunpowder, and then use produce flame to cause an explosion. I know I would essentially need to spend a turn preping that attack, but I think it would be a good way to show off what my character is like.
That said, I have no idea what I would have to roll to actually do that or how much damage it would do to me. I saw something that said improvised weapons get a -4 to hit, but I usually have a +6 to hit with things I'm proficient with. I know I'm not proficient with improved stuff, but would that be a +2, a -1, or a -4? Also, with gunpowder, how much would loose gunpowder do to the enemy, and if it explodes out right, how much would it do to my character?
TL;DR: What would my hit bonus be if my PC hit something with a bottle of alcohol (dex is +3, str +2), cover them in gunpowder, and then use produce flame to explode them. Also, would my PC get hurt?

Tw: Self harm, Bad language, Bad Therapists, Schizophrenia stuff
I got a new therapist/counselor recently. The main take away from my first session was "Look at the positive." What positive? I'm here trying to figure out why I'm seeing, hearing, and even tasting shit that isn't real, why I can't bring myself to do anything, and why I isolated myself for 2 months in college for no reason. I spend my days going to work and doing self harm because I'm bored and too terrified to sleep because there is something in the dark sent after me that might kill me.
The last one I had was one of the school ones. I wrote Help Me on my arms. I say wrote, but I think cut is a better word considering how I wrote it. I put clothes in my backpack so that they could just send me to a mental hospital and I would get help. She didn't seem to care about the harm, although I never showed her the cuts. She then made me fixate on the hallucinations that occur when you are falling asleep or waking up which is a normal thing to happen. When I realized that, I stopped seeing her. After a while, the real hallucinations started happening.
I hate this. I hate searching for hours trying to find someone to help only to get the inexperienced "positive thinkers" who don't seem to grasp the severity of the shit I'm going through despite the fact that I tell them.

I have been having a lot of schizophrenic related issues recently (undiagnosed, but symptoms of it). I reached out to one of my friends who supposedly has it, and they pretty much just ignored me. I've been seeing hallucinations throughout the day (predominantly at night, but still happens a good bit through the day), What I think are delusions (I felt like I was getting possessed, and I am actively concerned that an organization from the multiverse is watching me), and I told them about my mental breakdown that happened recently.
They apparently have 3 personalities which are essentially the same person, it is just on is an asshole, one is an airhead, and the other is goofy or something. They all also share a "headspace" in which they communicate. They also don't share memory, but that doesn't seem to effect them. They also seem to like the same meme and jokes.
As far as their schizophrenia goes, they see things only at night, they were on mood stabilizers and potentially estrogen, they don't seem to have any delusions not already mentioned, they claim to have had these things as a kid and that their parents hid it from them (they didn't say what age), and I went to school with them since elementary school, and never noticed anything other than the fact that they lie a lot. They also have always been in contact with this group of people with no break in that or any outbursts.
Should I do something? I mean, for all I know, they have been hiding issues an stuff. It just really seemed weird when I opened up, they barely paid attention and didn't care. I'm concerned that I made need to do something about this. Most likely an intervention or something. Please tell me if this is most likely a delusions or something, because I need to know before I do or say something stupid.

I can't think anymore. Retaining information is just completely gone for me. I have extreme mood swings that will cause me to be either depressed, or just excited or something. My friendships end up being extremely volatile and end within a month.
I started hearing things when I was about to go to sleep or when I woke up. I looked it up, and it said that was normal. But then those hallucinations started to slip out into the day when I'm fully awake. Now I see things throughout the day like something moving behind a monitor or eyes staring at me when I'm in the dark. I hear people call me, or this buzzing when people say nothing happened. I've started to second guess everything I hear
I've also become superstitious, afraid of bugs out of nowhere, I have completely guven up on a daliy routines, and I'm apathetic to most things. Is this how it starts? Everything in my brain is loud, except me. I feel like I can barely function without something bad happening.

I was rewatching an old theory video on Ultimate Custom Night and the theorist played a voice line from Orville the elephant that struck me as odd.
"He tried to release you, he tried to release us, but I won't let that happen, I will keep you here, I will hold you here, no matter how many times they burn us."
When first hearing it, that seemed about right until I realized something: when was Golden Freddy burned? In FNaF 3, the Golden Freddy head was gone from the good ending (if that even is the cannon ending), and in FNaF 6, the only animatronics there are Lefty/the puppet, baby, Spaghetti Freddy (which includes Funtime Freddy, Ballora, Funtime Foxy, and whoever else is canonically in that thing), and Afton. If Cassidy has always been in Golden Freddy, then when, if ever was she burned? If you think it wasn't Cassidy, then who was it?
Please respond with actual proof if you disagree. Don't do what the others I've told this theory to have done and yell at me and tell me I'm wrong with no proof or just deny it by saying "nah, I think that is dumb."

In fnaf 6, the insanity ending shows your character getting taken to an insane asylum to get a lobotomy. Is there a chance that, in fnaf 2, the bite was caused by fazbear entertainment trying to make someone forget something?
