      So who wants LCD-R measurements?

        I won't buy them (duh), but I'm curious. If it sounds good, then the observations might give us more info about what to look for in measurements.

      Audeze LCD-R is solid and a good perhaps amazing value. However, I was not touched by the hand of God.

      WSJ is on fire: exposing FB skeletons, federal judges not recusing, play-by-play Holmes trial. This is real investigative news, not CNN BS.

        Saying FB evil without investigative reporting is not news - it's opinion. But gathering evidence of inner workings, choosing greed over good, intentional ignorance of human trafficking, mental health issues - hunting down the whistleblowers and gathering internal documents, that's news. WSJ's work probably had good part to play in FB delaying Instagram Kids.

        Why feel bad when you can't tell if the sound came from your house or was in the game? I can't tell you the number of times I've looked around my room because I couldn't tell if my room made the noise or if it was the game.

        I'm moving soon, and won't have my 2 channel setup. I'm thinking of replacing my BF2 on my desk (and gaming setup) with the Yggdrasil for primary duty, and delegate my BF2 next to my bed for chill duty.

        I get the feeling that the LiM would kick ass for gaming.

        Taliban is a bigger and tougher enemy than what the west is willing to deal with. I say leave them for China maybe a conflict can spark something but again I think China is too pussy to invade another country let alone Afghanistan.

        Actually I just recalled an article I saw not that long ago that uses data to rank gridlock in Texas. In 2020 I35 through Austin displaced Houston’s I10 as the most congested road in the state. However Houston still had most of the rest of the top 10 with a few from Dallas mixed in.
