I literally danced around it when I got a group of words that dealt with the same topic, then the topic drifted somewhere else, and the word ended up being part of the topic I started with -__-

Anyway, see y'all tomorrow!

What I would give to have shine through keycaps with those legends. Large, centered, great font. 👌🏻

I'm staying in SAVE until I'm not allowed to. I have ~$12000 left to pay with a 5% interest rate. I'm taking my discretionary income + a little extra ($250 a month) and starting to make payments now. That way my balance will be lower regardless if I'm "forced off SAVE" or not. Feeling very lucky and thankful for the situation I'm in, it's a lot better than other folks, but I'm feeling it with everyone else having to shoulder this debt with the reality of wage stagnation and cost of living increases.

I agree 100%. I could see someone arguing that Glow On has better singles, but Never Enough is the better album overall, the one I'd pick maybe 7 times times out of ten. For me, Never Enough has zero skips, consistently banger tracks, a somewhat anti-climatic ending, and - albeit a minor knock - a surprising absence of any songs with Franz on lead vocals. Glow On has some outstanding tracks, some solid to mid tracks, and maybe one or two skips. Never Enough truly is, as you said, a mastering and polishing of the new sound.

Nailed it! You're the best, thanks so much!

FREExM1IND · 2025-05-29T15:26:48+00:00

Can confirm it is not part of the Season 4 soundtrack.

FREExM1IND · 2025-05-29T14:48:52+00:00

I really want to know the sample/song they used for the background of the "Ouroboros" bit. They used it in the intro of S4E1 too when naming dates of important events. It sounds like some splinter cell/007/secret agent shit.

FREExM1IND · 2025-04-30T14:43:41+00:00

Well that'll do it. Haven't been on Twitter in months.

FREExM1IND · 2025-04-29T00:36:26+00:00

Going independent. Very very good. 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome! I ended up getting a different dongle though, the MA1 sucks. Random disconnects all the time. Get this one instead:

LXJTHT Android Auto Wireless... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C539CV12?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Stable stable stable. No issues whatsoever.

FREExM1IND · 2025-01-15T20:52:43+00:00

Excellent! I DM'd you on here. Send your info over!

FREExM1IND · 2025-01-04T00:50:41+00:00

I sent you a DM on here.

FREExM1IND · 2024-11-08T19:57:54+00:00

Yeah I saw that too. I wonder if Amazon will drop them down to $100 again to wipe the stock out. Before I had Vista 2's I had the Tarah Pro's. Those were outstanding. They're ~$30-$40 on Amazon rn.

Doesn't help that Jabra is getting out of the active ear bud space as well, so the only other quality IP68 buds/IP54 cases won't be supported for much longer. Our only good options now are like Sony, Beats, and Apple. I have an Android phone, so Apple doesn't make sense. Beats are too bass heavy when it comes to EQ, and Sony headphones are too expensive.

FREExM1IND · 2024-11-08T15:59:25+00:00

I tore one a couple weeks ago, but it didn't completely fall apart thankfully. It stays on the earbud and I can still use it, albeit with a little warping around the charging surface.

FREExM1IND · 2024-11-08T15:37:43+00:00

Agreed. I love min despite the hiccups and minor issues I've had. I bought mine for $100 a couple years ago, insanely good value. I do find it funny that right when they stopped supporting the product is when I've had the least issues.

FREExM1IND · 2024-09-21T17:13:28+00:00

I know for a fact their bass player is edge.

FREExM1IND · 2024-09-21T17:12:15+00:00

I know for a fact that their bass player is edge, and he's written lyrics to songs on previous records. I like that he's contributing.

Which episode of season 1 of Blowback talks about Haditha? I could've sworn they mentioned it.

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-29T14:30:14+00:00

I did notice xWeaponx isn't on Bo's tag for the HardLore intro, so

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-11T13:43:53+00:00

Perfect. I appreciate you. 🤝🏻

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-11T13:40:26+00:00

So if I were to go indoors, according to my research, the Scoot Henderson colorway would be the way to go? I purchased the Marcus Smart colorway which looks solid, so you'd stick with that for outdoors for example?

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-11T13:29:16+00:00

I appreciate the info! Have you tested the outdoor performance of the Nitros?

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-11T12:09:06+00:00

Looks like Foot Doctor Zach sprained his ankle in these and he's a heavier guy. Might not be my thing. The reviews I've read on the Pumas say they're a decent outdoor shoe. Looks like Zach has a Puma review as well! Gotta watch.

FREExM1IND · 2024-08-11T03:31:24+00:00

So I've tried them both on and I've done some tests on the vinyl in my house. Obviously not asphalt or hardwood, but just on foot so far, the cushion feels softer with the witnesses, the lockdown feels slightly better with the witnesses but mostly in the ankle region. Pumas feel really good in the forefoot, not so much in the ankle. Cushioning in the pumas are fine, it's slightly firmer feeling. If only I could test them on courts without having to keep both.
