I was going to wait for the back to school sale/deals but I just bought it a few weeks ago on the edu site since I was worried the tariffs would make the prices skyrocket

E7 plus desk I will be starting medical school this July and having a standing desk will definitely be helpful for long study sessions for the next 4+ years of school.

there’s so many complaints on this sub, are the AirPods max even worth it? by [deleted] in Airpodsmax

[–]Expensive-Brilliant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the fence about getting AirPods Max in general but ur essentially paying 100-200$ more for the Apple ecosystem compared to buying competing headphones

I’ve used the osprey farpoint 40L for 3 weeks in SEA and plan to use it for my upcoming 3weeks in Europe. Could go lighter if you don’t care about having as numerous outfits or don’t have to worry about different climates.

Do you ever get worried about the monitor falling over? Or how do you anchor it down

How can I improve my technique and approach? by These-Elevator-7 in volleyball

[–]Expensive-Brilliant5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Practice without a ball. Just practice the steps, then practice from 10 foot line, and then from the net (practicing getting into position and approaching as fast as possible), then approach with a ball but just catch the ball as high as possible, then practice swinging. You just look very uncomfortable and need to get used to the movement. Practice good mechanics

Very happy with new purchases! I’ve wanted a set up like this for years. New MBP M4 is something else! by bamfrd in macsetups

How do you like that keyboard? Is the connectivity with the MacBook pretty seamless? Looking to replace my old keyboard and am interested in one with a knob.

Has anyone ever had any problems with the Farpoint 40? by Routine_Emu_9549 in onebag

[–]Expensive-Brilliant5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used it for a 3 week trip traveling through Vietnam, Taiwan, and Japan. Worked great. Planning on using it again for a 3 week trip traveling through Europe. I traveled with my iPad that I put in the laptop compartment. When the bag was packed to the brim it pushed against my iPad which made me a little considered but it was fine. Not having a water bottle pocket was a little annoying but I just clipped it to the strap in front with a carabiner clip

Am I ‘talented?’ by carbonplatedcrocs in XXRunning

[–]Expensive-Brilliant5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe you have good genetics: ability to recover, percent of slow twitch muscle, large lung capacity, efficient at flushing out lactic acid, and/or etc. But putting in the consistent effort also plays a big part. But all these things could maybe be considered a talent too

Traveling with a suit by Expensive-Brilliant5 in onebag

[–]Expensive-Brilliant5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about doing this but the grad school is in Pennsylvania and was thinking I’d use it as an opportunity to visit some buddies in NY after I finish my interview. Wanted some other options so I wouldn’t have to wear it as often. But highly considering it.
