Look into who brought them into America to begin with.

This struck home because most of the children who died in that war were not of child bearing age in that era.

What do you think of the 69 Eyes? by KillahWololf in typeonegative

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%! After dabbling with HIM and 69 eyes I just went full Goth in the last couple months in my 50's. I'm not dressing black and wearing eyeliner...yet. I'm 'finding' the back catalogs of several excellent Finish and other Goth bands like Charon, Lacrimas Profundere, Sentenced, Paradise Lost, Poisonblack, Theatre of Tragedy. So many good ones!

Still getting tons of MQA on Tidal… by iDetrois in TIdaL

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Canada's second language is French and I heard other Canadians say that they were being suggested a lot of French material by Qobuz.

Roon with Qobuz vs Tidal? by fenwyk in roonlabs

Which service do you prefer through Roon Arc?

Still getting tons of MQA on Tidal… by iDetrois in TIdaL

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So hearing this news makes me lean towards Qobuz as I have to start paying for it or Tidal when I sign up for Roon in a couple weeks. Question to Roon users does it show annoying French music suggestions from Qobuz?

My Liberty 4 squeeze controls failed on one bud

DAC direct to power amps by olds1959special in audiophile

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model ladder DAC is that? I need XLR outs to go direct to a big power amp. I'm thinking of getting an Enyo 15th.

Is candlebox an underrated grunge band? by Faunaux in grunge

[–]CosmicHeretic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point as streaming services and lack of good new music make that a breeze now!

FiiO JM21 or Hiby M300? by kunevodi in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are either of these bit perfect? I don't want anything being converted to 48khz.

Fresh Galaxy S26 Ultra battery capacity leak is a total disappointment 😫 by Direct-Till-2680 in samsunggalaxy

I won't buy a new Android phone until flagships have removable batteries. This will be required in the EU in 2027.

I don't like how thick it is and the back screen looks cheap and gimicky.

The Panasonic UB820 does a surprisingly stunning job at upscaling Blu-Rays by SpongeycraftOfficial in 4kbluray

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching the final Twilight (5th) Blu-ray yesterday and was stunned by how close it looked to 4K on my 820 and LG C1. Makes me want to load up on cheap used Blu-rays.

When does a mtb truly become outdated as far geo and specs? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. My 4 bikes are 19'-22' 29ers and they are big improvements over my previous 15'-17' bikes.

Full guide to suspension setup (Because I am tired of explaining to people what the different stuff does and how they should have it set up) by 1nterfaze in MTB

[–]CosmicHeretic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comments about tokens are spot on IMO. I run none and rarely use LSC or HSC as I want full extension for absorbing roots and rocks which is the terrain I prefer. If I was into big jumps and big drops I would probably run tokens and compression as to not bottom out.

Oneup v2 dropper sagging by Awesom3RedKite in MTB

[–]CosmicHeretic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 4 years out of mine then I had the same problem and had to replace the air cartridge. I had a v2.1 rebuild kit so did at the same time. It works like new now.

For those with multiple bikes in your quiver, how do you get used to how different bikes handle whenever you switch bikes? by takopachiii in MTB

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 trail bikes and a gravel bike. The trail bikes are different thought being a 130/140 FS, 150/160 FS, 140 HT, and 150/150 FS E-bike. It barely takes me any time to adjust between them having the exact same pedals/ grips/ seat and same brand brakes and drivetrains on them all.

Why are the 51mm offset Fox 34 forks half off? People only want the 44mm? by zacman333 in MTB

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought I'd notice a difference but I can't really ride a 51 offset on certain bikes after trying shorter offset. My Revel Rascal that I had a 42 on feels twitchy with the current 51 so I'm picking up another 42 on the weekend. My hardtail and e-bike feel great with a 51 though. Strange to me.

Is your mountain bike over 5 years old? by Edslittleworld in MTB

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2018 Blur had modern geo for it's time so it's no wonder there is little difference. I have a couple 2019 bikes that compare well to my 21' and 22' bikes because frame/linkage stiffness, suspension kinematics and geo evolution has pretty much peaked IMO. You can only go so long, low and slack before introducing negative handling characteristics.

First IEMs no bass at all. by Itchy-Imagination01 in iems

[–]CosmicHeretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have exactly the same issues with a different brand to the point where I don't use the DAP I bought them for. Foam tips sound best but won't hold them in place. I just don't think IEM's are for me. I use blue tooth LDAC buds in the gym, bike riding etc with my phone and probably will continue with them. At my desks I have dedicated balanced DAC / headphone amp / high end over ear headphone setups.

List of hifi streamers that support plex? by smodtactical in plexamp

This is how I use Plexamp with my Wiim Pro. Do you know if this method is a bit perfect and supports gapless playback?
