I didn't expect the HE-560 to go well with the SW-51 either, but I finally tried it.. and I didn't have any issues with it.

Did you listen to it in Cha's Bedroom?

Conversations ranged from
1. I don't know how to turn this on - ma'am this battery icon means you need to charge it first - she then became noticibly agitated
2. Not believing staff about why the storage needs to be backed up before replacing the phone
3. Not understanding that the iphone is not the same as their current android phone

And yes, macbook not used for serious storage.

"You're also more technically adept than the other customers in the store that day"

True, it was the day job for the last part of my career. I'm modestly clever with computers, including the small one in my pocket.

Oddly, I'm pretty dumb with /phones./ Just watch me trying to call a new contact or to get the bluetooth in the car working...

...Still embarrassed at the woman who had to tell me, "This is a video call!" She must have been fed up with looking at my ear wax, which is not my best point, lol.

But the people who made all this possible belong to generations even older than mine.

I agree that there was some confusedness™ in the construction of that sentence.

Edited because I wrote this while I was really tired and annoyed at the airport and ya sentence structure was messed up

I can confirm that the final version of your message was significantly delayed.

spread some dirt around, Diatomaceous earth will make them dry up and die...

I had this problem at the start of the year. If it's still summer where you live they don't like being left in the sun. Put the headphones somewhere sunny but close to shelter for the ants to escape to. Make sure the cups are facing toward the sun. They will freak out for a bit then gradually leave.

Put the headphones in a bowl of water. That will get rid of the ants.

(Actually there are sensible versions of this advice. At one place I lived, used to keep the bed legs in saucers of water. No ants in the bed)

This is only because you been listening to me for advice.

I think they've done some work with the recommendation engine. I notice it more when mobile because at home Roon is still in front of everything.

But yea, let's blame the Russians!

Like AWS (Amazon Web Services), when CloudFlare makes a big mistake a ton of web sites go down.

Actually I’m on good terms with Danny and he said they have some new gear for us in the next couple weeks. I don’t know what though. They’re super nice people.

The one time I stopped by the Raal booth last LA CanJam they were indeed very nice. No attitude.

@purr1n lol you're confusing RAAL with Abyss. RAAL powers all their gear at meets with RME DACs for heaven sake. They do pay a lot of attention to head-fi but they've been very kind to my requests for loaners, and also very responsive about a recent amp I didn't even buy new, but bought used, They're taking a look at it for free. Hopefully I can get one of the CA headphones from them for a loaner!

Check if Tony's ok

Thinking it was probably this guy: https://44.media.tumblr.com/34291760cebfb86a55f5fcf3413ca62d/tumblr_p1hd8eOBof1spkic4o3_540.gif

Let me into your bedroom and I’ll stop.

@YMO , people who send me texts after 8PM get responses at 3:45 AM.

> 4 Double IPAs = 8 PM bedtime for me.

@crazychile IPAs are for people with no taste

Crypto? Yes, like a basket of hyped penny stocks.

I'm just guessing it is really pop, esp. when folks I know ask my opinion.

Will not comment more b/c I suspect whatever I say will result in the web crawlers picking it up and spamming us with it. But let's just say clear minded me thought it was convincing but amazingly stupid.

Let me come to your house.

sometimes I go to a concert with a headache. Sometimes it cures it!

I was thinking that "Atrium" is a funny name for a headphone. But it turns out that it isn't. :)

I have earned my headache. I’m glad you ended your day without one!

I use a Fifine T669 for work calls. It’s perfect for that. Good bang for the buck, but it’s still a $40 mic.

Razer seiren x was $49.99 on sale in Nov. Pretty solid.

I use the Samson Go for all video meetings and it has been great.

Don't forget the fat ratio of the cat...I have this one fat cat in my house where the plan it make it a Tuesday Dinner.

@BenjaminBore is spot on. Various breeds secret different levels of this protein. My wife and daughter are ridiculously allergic to cats but my daughter desperately wanted one. We found a breed, Siberian, that naturally has exceptionally low amounts of this protein and we have had a cat going on 5 years now without any issues

I'm pretty sure I will have a Siberian too someday. The most amusing cats along with being less allergenic.

It's meeting other cats that I wonder about. Example with sibling cats - went over to a friends, one of the cats was out beside me on the couch for an hour without issue. Then the other cat comes out and within 5 minutes I'm getting noticeable allergy symptoms.

Let it flow

Sandwich is kind of a misnomer. It was a bread from 85C that happened to have a few pieces of chicken on it... all the other bread was "just bread" and I briefly overlooked this on the first 2 bites.

Thank goodness no flows.

Talk about your butt problems with YMO, you have his number.

Amazon Prime Target, it seems!

Track my order...

... currently being stolen from a train

:/

RDR2 VR is getting crazy.

IMO bigger problem is bad policy that let's them get away with it if it's been an ongoing organized thing. Also, why would this not be prosecuted under RICO as it seems to be organized crime...

So... that silver hammer came down upon her head, it seems.

It's made clear to her to not name names lest her fate be like Epstein's.

I guess a naive part of me thinks that if she has any shred of decency left within her or if she suddenly thinks "bUt I nEeD to dIE wiTh A CleAr conCioUS guYS!!!!" she will spill the beans.

Otherwise... actually on 2nd thought, it'd be better if I just stopped talking about this on an audio forum.

1st season could have been better but I enjoyed it regardless. 2nd season was noticibly better IMO with better production value, plot, etc. as well.

Kind of glad the plot deviates slightly while still being good - it wouldn't be as interesting if I were to see the same story over and over and over again.

Hope there aren't too many timelines bouncing around. S01 broke my brain. Rewatching in preparation.

Binged the season on Saturday. Liked it a lot. Better than the first season. More straightforward. I played Witcher 2 and maybe 75% of 3 and read the first book so I am just familiar enough to be really confused on how close to sources it is.
