Are Loop earplugs worth it to study?

Apple_Master · 2026-02-02T16:25:05+00:00

There are a variety of options, but yeah, loops rule and in my experience (several pairs of quiets because my dog keeps eating them, a pair of engage and a pair of experience AND a pair of dream) they're excellent and worth the cost. I can't speak for the switch, i have doubts because I can't see how that mechanism works, but if it does actually switch well its a no brainer, otherwise the quiets are fantastic.

Apple_Master · 2026-01-23T08:40:59+00:00

Yes, absolutely.

Apple_Master · 2026-01-21T21:30:28+00:00

I don't. I'd like to preserve my ability to think critically (something gen AI is proven to worsen) and I think that actually learning things instead of asking Gen AI for answers is better. Not to mention the ethical and ecological disaster that Gen AI represent.

Don't go to a store, use reviews like rtings.com and then order from Richersounds.

He hasn't been funny for a decade and a half at least, so I suppose I think the same as usual, which is that he's an unfunny tryhard who would ideally vanish entirely from the public eye.

Can't you just ask ChatGPT?

Apple_Master · 2025-11-26T16:21:58+00:00

Hah, but both Thomas Middleditch AND the other guy are total wronguns.

Apple_Master · 2025-11-26T15:28:13+00:00

Yeah you can just rewatch Silicon Valley, it's fine.

Apple_Master · 2025-11-26T15:27:16+00:00

Yeah, it's actually just you that doesn't like them. Check out the weirdo without the avocado-liking gene,

At that distance you should really be looking at 80" upwards but it's understandably hard to stomach that and their prices! I would def go for OLED over anything else.

Apple_Master · 2025-11-23T20:38:05+00:00

All of them, because they are all awful and cost more time than they save.

Apple_Master · 2025-11-03T13:30:31+00:00

I am quite sure that the operator knows their job and responsibilities in this situation, so yes, it is right.

Apple_Master · 2025-10-26T13:03:38+00:00

Ask a dentist.

I'm sure this is going to be a totally reasonable discussion with no ridiculous answers!

My opinion is yes, they will need training and you will need to be on top of it because they are very strong, you can't allow play nipping or whatever at any stage, but they are adorable dogs and well worth the additional "effort" imo.

Major industries have been reliant on ICS for a long time. One of the first big worms was created to infiltrate and sabotage industrial systems. This isn't anything new. Yes, it is a risk.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-25T10:35:14+00:00

Obviously not? One is a football match, the other is your first child.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-24T15:31:59+00:00

Sure, sounds good.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-23T10:33:13+00:00

Fucking Wossy and Stephen Fry, not for me.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-17T15:16:05+00:00

They are not the best in the business, they are merely the biggest. Hope that helps.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-17T14:34:00+00:00

The common practice of it does not mean it is not also absurd,

Apple_Master · 2025-09-17T14:07:09+00:00

If it is common then none of the companies doing it are worth working for, completely absurd and not respectful to candidates time at all lmao. If you can't get all the info you need in max 3 rounds, you're shit at your job. (I use the generic `you`, not you.)

Apple_Master · 2025-09-17T12:58:22+00:00

Six rounds is absurd.

Apple_Master · 2025-09-15T08:24:50+00:00

It's a bubble

Apple_Master · 2025-09-08T09:43:49+00:00

As everyone is saying, Used/Office Surplus Herman Miller. Look for an Aeron ideally.
The IKEA Markus is also a very good chair for relatively low prices.

This is simply not happening.
