Good, I know you have wanted to see your brother.

@crenca Father too - he went into care in January so there's the house to sell, etc. Border finally opened to all overseas NZ citizens earlier this month, so first opportunity for 2 years.

Yikes! Stay safe!!

38 x 21 x 18 cm (14,000 cm^3) box for a 5 x 3.5 x 1 cm (18 cm^3) battery.

but be honest, you saw that box hoping they accidentally sent you some extra shit, right?

I once received an SDHC card in a box like that.

Thanks, but I'd probably just kill that too. 430 was only bought to see if the driver could go into the 250 (same specs, but physically different). So I think I'll cut my losses at this point.

I recently picked up k4star's HD 250 Linear. Not sure if the sound signature is right for me. If not, you can have first dibs if you'd like.

Thanks for the offer. Likely to be more than I'd want to pay though - like my sig says, I'm cheap.

That serial is now registered as stolen. Sure, you can sand the headstock and refinish with a different serial, however it is a Gibson Custom. It has an RFID in the neck joint.

Yeah, but would you ever want to play it again? Haha

"masked suspect" ...

Made for headphones.

I thought I removed only the URL referrer, but I guess I also killed the "magic wand" info. But yeah, you get the idea :P

only if she adds shot glasses.

Late to this - he actually died December 21 but I only saw the news last night. Obit on the Koss site: https://koss.com/blogs/stories/passing-of-john-c-koss

Oh wow.. he left a great legacy in the audio world.

My hope is whoever buys them never actually listens to them. It will prolong their enjoyment.

When does Princess Leah kill Jaba with the headphone cable?

I see she had to re-do her hairstyle to be able to wear them. IEMs might have worked better for her.

I was either in North Jersey or NYC a few months ago and stopped at a Home Depot - they were charging $0.25 per plastic bag... at the self checkout, you actually had some sort of vending machine to get the bag. I said f'it and carried my purchase

So, now you smell like a boozer?

Wow you already have one of those lickable taste screens on your phone?

And here I was trying to decide if the Pro-Ject Debut PRO was junk

Yeah a few of these aren't bad esp. when other best-seller lists are considered: couple of AT models, Rega, Fluance... But all these kids buying expensive vinyl for "better audio quality" and playing it on some of these all-in-one systems instead of buying digital and using decent IEMs vs the speakers built into their phones...

It's a lifestyle product. With bragging rights.

Well, OK, it *is* a lifestyle product even among those who truly listen to music. Couldn't get much more physically different to the now-norm digital without getting the band to come to the house. Or joining it.

Broken English is a perennial favorite of mine. Also love Vagabond Ways among others.

Makes me feel old too :-/

You mean Life of Bwian ?

Certainly not the funniest line, but the one I find myself quoting most often is, "There's no pleasing some people."

Ended up watching Bing Crosby's Holiday Inn & White Christmas at parents this year, and not Wonderful Life like most years...strange year ;)

Don't bet on it. It hasn't worked for me yet. Not sure my life expectancy is sufficient for that.

I'm a couple behind you on the first, but about equal on the second ... sigh

"Differently abled" is big here in India. As a person with, ahem, hearing impairment, I detest it. Doesn't make any of my other senses more abled, and the only thing that helps is...

... Being recognised as being a bit deaf and treated accordingly. Let me know you're speaking to me and do so clearly. That's simple respect , rather than a euphemism that makes other people feel better

I know someone with useless legs. He is, literally, differently abled. Has to be. But he isn't keen on the label either.

It does @Armaegis. It is also referred to as "acoustic ceiling."

shag carpet on the floor ok makes sense, shag carpet on the walls might make sense, not being Spider-Man what is the shag carpet on the ceiling supposed to be for?

@Azimuth you tell me "acoustic ceiling" and I'm thinking drop ceiling/tiles with actual STC rating and absorption coefficients. You tell me popcorn ceiling and I'm thinking drywall with chunky stucco/plaster/gold glitter sprayed on it. Or maybe they spray on something soft and squishy in your neck of the woods?

~40 of my posts are missing according to my profile. Sad part is I don't even know where they were... And I definitely didn't post that many times in the time window that got deleted.

I thought Marv restored a backup...we shouldn't have lost whole threads?

One time, I knocked hard on the window of an S.U.V. and yelled at the driver, "If you honk at my wife again, I'll break your fuckin' head!" Oh, he yelled back at me plenty—but he didn't *dare* honk.

100% hate the fact that it's impossible to simply buy normal looking, good keycaps on demand. Instead you have to wait 18 months and get a set that would be normal except the ESC key is purple and the function keys are replaced by anime flowers.

@Garns - I think kbdfans is pretty good about having cheapish keycaps in stock. here is one set

Haha, thanks, that's where I bought from in the end (this was last year). Still exhausting though... "These ones look good! Oh, they're in Russian". Finally ended up just buying blanks to avoid having to scroll through any more pages.
