I've been having a great time with the iFi Zen Stream as a USB host. @ogodei has one for sale for a great price so might be good to include that as well?

Mercury V3 with Noise Nuke is the real deal. More people need to hear it.

When you get the Red, test it as-is and then make sure you go down the Diretta/Gentooplayer rabbit hole. For science, and because that's what people do.

holy crap which old gods did y'all tick off down there?

My theory (well, what I read somewhere) is that the whole developed world ticked off the gods of the warmer oceans. Hence more powerful, wetter cyclones/hurricanes.

All the best to everyone who might be affected. May you be safe.

Bit more reading: warm air too. So more pissed off gods.

And it looks horrible.

Excellent!

I ask myself: How much has much as my family spent on chatGPT or AI compared to Netflix / Amazon Prime.

Skynet is learning

Carbon allowance, the new indulgentia of the 21st century. Just ignore the material for the batteries.

@YMO it's just supposed to be the R70X in a different colourway with new pads no? Seems like other than the special paint job you could maybe pad roll to achieve similar. Not sure though

Only bummer is AT "wings" headband thingy. looks excellent from your review for a budget headphone .

Have had issues with AT headbands in the past- this one works well for me though. I was worried too but got to test it.

I heard that cats will eat you in like 3 days if you pass away.

I wish it was true. That would be my chosen method of dealing with my dead body. Let my cats eat it. Anything left can be polished off by the crows.

@Lyander, you do seem to have had some violent animals in your household!

I just got a Russian blue mix, she is wild. never seen one try to be such a dominant matriarch.

No more mister wifi?

Where there's a will, there's a way

Did she not know how to not broadcast the SSID?

I only got a taste over geforce now as I'm away from my PC. But getting some light Doom Eternal vibes. The back and forth between bolter and chainsaw makes more sense than expected, probably due to dealing with overwhelming dynamic hordes. Saber's high volume enemy tech lends itself better to 40k's űber space romans better than the previous zombie stuff.

Too bad. Normally intelligent friends said it was good. Oh well, less time to waste on non-audio stuff.

Couldn't disagree more. As a MCU fan, it was a great time. For someone coming in blind to the past 16 years, sure, it would seem a bit overdone. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Also feels like the shakeup the MCU needed post-Endgame.

Will still watch it when streaming, but f**k Disney. MCU, Star Wars - terrible trajectory.

@zonto Dell's premium monitors are known for flicker free backlights and if it's an Ultrasharp it'll also be factory calibrated. Many high refresh monitors use strobed backlights and the 1080p ones often use wide gamut backlights on standard gamut panels to make the colours pop at the expense of accuracy.

Agree. 60 Hurtz

Grab a nice OLED with a high refresh rate. It's the *Chef's Kiss*.

Hmm. I guess I'll wait to see what Christian has to say. I already have a great collection and it'll take a bit for me to be interested. I'm tired the current mixed multi-driver phase. Campfire Astrolith, get that on loaner.

@M3NTAL Not gotten ears on any of the new Campfire IEMs but the look of that one reminds me of that old B'T X anime (I'm sure vowels were very expensive when that came out).

It’s becoming difficult to find good, new IEMs that are flat, or only +2–3 db, in the bass. Between Harman and Crin, listeners are becoming oblivious to fidelity.

Modern Eddie The Eagle

Jamaican bob sled team

At least the Jamaican bobsled team qualified. Only one year did they did not qualify. Highest finish is 14th in 1994 for the four-man.

LMAO I'd have had trouble getting this one right too without looking it up! Thanks for the work.

Don't even watch ping pong but that must have been the worst feeling... and to lose right after that too.

Oh, ping pong. Of course. I automatically assumed rowing...

table tennis

I have a recording of mimes in concert and it has no distortion at all. Clowns are just evil though.

Mr.Mine sucks as a Pokémon

In fact, I'm going to repost this so more people hear it.

Different note - I've background listened to some long form interviews and podcasts with some of the candidates before this. Don't agree with Vivek or RFK on several things, but they're the only 2 that I feel can even present a cohesive and complete train of thought at this point, much less ones that I agree with. And Vivek has dropped out. Anyone else I should be aware of?

The idea of replacing a senile guy with a guy whose worm ate his brain doesn't seem like a great trade

Put your Dems in touch with our Libs. The way a recent by-election result is being interpreted, many would likely entertain a straight swap :-D

My upcoming book is call the Art of Salad Tossing

Thanks Sqveak. I only saw the guilty headline earlier.

Not to be "that guy", but I'm often out of the loop with this type of stuff as I have no interest in following the circus / theater side of politics. I did take a look though online and now I'm more concerned that this is probably going to be a bigger part of people's opinion of the election vs stopping USA's descent into semi-dysfunctional country status.
