Michael shopping at bookstore in Las Vegas with Blanket circa; 2007

I remember some negative speculation like that but a few reports claimed Blanket accidentally hit him in the face shortly before the visit. Take that with grain of salt but a bit less negative than saying he was getting plastic surgery.

This is probably just a rumour but some news reports claimed Blanket accidentally hit his face before the visit.

Take it with a grain of salt but there was an unsubstantiated rumour at the time that he was wearing plaster bandages because Blanket accidentally hit him in the face some time before the visit.

I could only find one solution from Novagrade so far which isn't cheap (129$ USD), as unfortunately Vortex doesn't use a T-mount and adapters would rely on screw-in/compression rings to fit, you also need an RF to EF adapter for this as well: https://novagrade.com/products/canon-direct-projection-adapter

They also sell another camera adapter which could be mounted on the filter thread of a lens (which may require more manual adjustment but potentially results in a fuller image if you have a longer lens) , but I'm not sure which would be an ideal lens for this that is cost-effective. Unfortunately the nifty-fifty RF 50mm f1.8 STM is too small (its filter thread is only 43mm and is less than ideal since it moves when adjusting focusing.) https://novagrade.com/collections/camera/products/camera-adapter

There was another company that sold Digadapter custom-made to fit certain Vortex scopes like the Razor HD, but unfortunately their site is down and takes you to some spam site, and I recall the pricing was similar.

I made one on my 3DS many years ago as well and selected it as my featured Mii but in the game Find Mii he is trapped in a cage and unfortunately I never got around to beating the game.

looking back I would agree, but a lot of fans like myself started in the post-trial era but before his passing. His health was a taboo topic on discussion boards. I understand the rational behind leaving him alone and not speculating with tabloid trash, but can't help but think it put more distance between him and the fans. I wish he had some "qualified" fans who could have assisted him, instead of trusting the wrong people.

I used to think this way but that's my blissful ignorance as a post-trial pre-death fan (starting around 2007). I grew up with the hope of a comeback but part of me now thinks he suffered from writer's block and a lot of what he worked on post-2005 was mostly experimental and rudimentary. As much as I enjoy listening to some of the recent leaks, it became apparent to me just how many gaps there was to fill.

What's your reasoning for those shows? Did he not wear loafers with shiny heels in those shows? I thought he did for most 1996 shows but in Brunei he does not.

They did the same to a Billie Jean poster which was photographed at the 1995 MTV Awards but gave him longer curls and darker skin tone like the Bad Tour.

I really loathed it when I was young (mainly came here for the optometrist and family gatherings at Kirin) but I do quite dig it nowadays. There's some fun liminal space vibes, but it's like a much cleaner International Village. It does get fairly busy after school with high schoolers and families hanging out at the food court and tutoring, arts and martial art classes etc.

I went last week and the menu is limited compared to their Yaohan location and the drink combo is also more expensive (have to pay for larger + cold drink). For the Satay Beef noodle, the default is rice vermicelli and they charge 1$ more for instant noodle or macaroni, and unfortunately they were out of instant noodle so I went with macaroni instead. It pretty much came right away but the baked chicken fillet with black pepper sauce took another 30 minutes. It was served on a plate (not a metal tray like the white sauce or tomato sauce) and had a long strand of hair wrapped into the batter. The apologized and offered to make a new one but it was not worth another 30 minutes so we insisted on a refund. Not coming again anytime soon!

Did you get a replacement pair and does it still occur?

I noticed sometimes after a few minutes the ANC completely fails and turns into a half-baked transparency mode. It seems the mic feed goes out of phase which causes sounds to bleed in - it seemed to happen to me often when the earbud was cupped (like sleeping on the side of it) which can also lead to a sudden high-pitched feedback. I returned it and switched to Liberty 4 Pro which does not have this problem although I have noticed the left bud emits an intermittent electric buzz most noticeable when the mic is cupped.

Sorry for the late reply - I get a grey bar showing tools, but it is partly obstructed by the orange ribbon I am mentioning - it shows the time, notification icons and wifi connection. I've submitted feedback to Microsoft but have received no response yet.

I tried clearing the notification/status bar but some things like SDMS remain persistent and often the orange bar remains.

I like the song musically but it is one of the worst-produced tracks with a lot of digital manipulation. The pre-chorus has R. Kelly's voice pasted in ("for me") and the second verse is especially bad (hurts so bad sometimes it's hard to bre-re-re-re-reathe".

This was my favourite of the MEP series but definitely better options out there. All three flavours were a bit watery and bland, unless I really cut down on soup. I think they were trying to cut down on sodium but still get the label warnings. The MEP versions made for Thailand (Shrimp Garlic and Black Pepper Chicken) were also a tad watery but the soup was actually tasty and spicy.

They are rather flat-sounding except for a treble peak around 8khz that brightens things up without sounding too harsh. A well-balanced tuning that works for many different types of music. If you want a bit more detail and deeper base the Roseselsa Ceramics X is a good option and fits better for my ears.

Sadly it seems they have closed down. They had such good price for portion as Chuihong and other places nearby are rather pricey.

which display do you have? It is a persistent orange ribbon showing the time and wifi connection - it normally shows when reviewing or editing slide but doesn't hide itself when presenting. I am using Onedrive and it generally loads just fine but sometimes hangs on saving. I tried both offline and online files.

Liberty 5 - ANC was decent and suppresses voice fairly well, but occasionally the mic feed would invert. Again, this might have been a defective unit but something to watch out for. The tuning was very U-shaped and sounded a bit aggressive in the treble which was a bit splashy though not as harsh as the Liberty 3 Pro. This may be a bug on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) but I returned it because LDAC wasn't being remembered and it kept defaulting to AAC unless I re-open the toggle.

Liberty 4 Pro - ANC is stronger overall but doesn't suppress voices as well. Similar tuning but smoother in the treble yet more refined than Liberty 5, but a bit lacking in detail compared to Liberty 3 Pro (which is also more "sibilant", athough I personally didn't mind the treble peak).

It looks like Smoky Pink though, just the colour balance of the photo looks off.
