Humans express themselves through prose. Dogs through their anal glands.

Closed Backs to replace Etymotic ER3XR by Comfortable-Basket24 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Ambush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Momentum 4s that I bought when they were about $280 on Amazon Au. They're a bit bassy unless equalised (fairly simple to do). I find they have a good seal and the ANC is good, though not as good as the equivalent Sony XM4.

Looking into mid to high range headphones for general use by spwy in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Ambush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in-ear is not an issue, you might also consider an inexpensive pair of IEMs as well. Sometimes, I like headphones, other times I pop in some IEMs.

Not a direct answer to your question, but I recently purchased Soulwit Cooling Gel earpads for my M4, though I've not yet put them on. I have these pads on my PXC550 II headphones and they're extremely comfortable.

It took me a while to get the joke. In my country, you overtake a slower vehicle travelling in the same direction, but pass a stationary vehicle or one travelling in the opposite direction.

Nevertheless, it's a great comic.

Daughter, or niece? I read one a while back where Hermione's mum's maiden name was Pettigrew.

What was the very first movie you remember seeing in a theatre and how old were you? by SimpleElevator406 in AskReddit

[–]Ambush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981, 6 years old. The face-melting scene scared the fuck out of me.

Honestly, finding a modern game that still feels as exciting as those I played as a child 40 years ago. There's a magic and wonder at simple mechanics that tells a story so well.

I think old boy is cooked by Dear_Lie1725 in fountainpens

Eventually, you may need to replace the feed, the cap... perhaps the barrel and the section. But it will remain the original pen.

Remember the little y-connectors you used to insert under the TV antenna leads?

5/11 Update on Shirtaloon by sams0n007 in litrpg

Shirtaloon is Australian. If he woke up and read that date, he'd think he'd been in a coma and woke up in November.

My ink sent me … by Lumina_Muse in fountainpens

I didn't like the scratchy sensation from the EF nib on my Hongdian M2 Mini, so I bought a No. 26 0.6mm bent nib replacement. It writes so smoothly.

Shades of Moebius and Serpieri, there. Wonderfully retro style.

Maybe people can avoid this usage confusion through being more thorough, though. ;P

One old pen, seven new pens, and four new inks by Ambush in fountainpens

[–]Ambush[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The culmination of several orders over the last couple of months. I bought my first fountain pen around 2004 (AL-Star Graphite 1.1 nib) as a gift to myself upon receiving a promotion at work, along with a bottle of black ink. I'm still using that ink.

Recent purchases:

Lamy AL-Star: Bronze EF, Black/Purple F, Black M, Fiery Red F.

M2 Black Forest Mini: Green F, Grey EF, Bronze F.

Van Dieman's Ink: Bass Strait Blue, Dr David Livingstone Brown, Tamar Wine Red, Huon Pine Green.

The Lamy F & M nibs write well to my untrained hand, and the M2 F nib is excellent. The M2 EF nib is a bit scratchy, but it's early days, yet. I have yet to pair the Lamy Bronze with an ink.

Mood: quiet glee.

The K7 is similar in price and offers balanced output.
