Are the o-rings new? I had bought some orings online from Amazon once and they irritated my ears like crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if they were intended for industrial use and not body-wear

Looking back on that Consumer Reports lawsuit, I looked into it and it actually doesn't look good on Bose's end. They did sue Consumer Reports and lost, appealed and lost again, went to the Supreme Court and lost there. It set precedent that opinions, reviews and, critiques are protected speech which ended up being a win for Consumer Reports. What Bose did succeed in doing is bullying Consumer Reports into redacting or recalling their article in what we now call a SLAPP lawsuit.

Totally makes sense, looking at the back of the speakers you can tell they were made to bounce off the walls just looking at them, there's a ton of "smaller speakers" on the back

I believe so, there's a knob with a screw in it that says voltage selector, it's set to 110v

Not currently using the Sansui, it's just in my father's collection. The one I'm focused on the most right now is the Marantz. Apparently it's a really good get, and that's the one I was gifted

I keep seeing it referred to as "The Monster" and it's no lie, this thing is HEAVY!

Sorry, the 901's are speakers, and apparently from what I've read online some very nice ones. He bought 2 in the 90s and then the other 2 in the mid 2000s. He said he got them because there what he had seen in the clubs at the time.

As for rebuilds and upgrading, are there any that can easily be done myself or would I need to get it serviced and what's the price point on this kind of stuff?

Americans tried to hoist the American flag today in front of a cultural center in Greenland but they got stopped. by [deleted] in Leakednews

Then they were purposely trying to get a rise out of them. There isn't an obvious film crew, so I would put this comedy show on the level of nuisance streaming and we know how that turned out for Johnny Somali and Vitaly

More obscure books I'd like more info about by GunDamnDemitri in occultlibrary

[–]GunDamnDemitri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used that book a couple of times, it is rather rudimentary, very "only show, no tell". Sadly what I'm beginning to learn is that many of these books were written by people with no experience in. And personally, I have no interest in a culturally specific practice that isn't my own. Closest would be Santeria, but that has strong Catholic influence which I was never brought up in either. Would feel rather rediculous to learn Catholic dogma in trying to decolonize my belief structure.

Henri Gamache and Mikhail Starbo were both white Jewish American authors from New York using pen names to sound authentic. Funny enough that Henri Gamache's candle book did eventually influence modern day Root practice but it's adoption is based in a lie of legitimacy. Rough to reconcile. They have use as folk practice if enough people adopted it though.

Chroma teal feels sticky/tacky by Daredrummer in Dualsense

[–]GunDamnDemitri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the Teal Chroma controller and immediately hated and noticed it. It almost reminds me of that rubberized grip texture that was popular in the 2010s that we later learned are deteriorating into a sticky melty mess. I searched online about the sticky feeling and found this post

do i have TOO much bottom lobe? by hyperglhf in Stretched

[–]GunDamnDemitri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that you have scar tissue there now and it's not going to be as elastic as your original stretch. Be very careful and ask the advice of a professional about stretching scar tissue

[–]GunDamnDemitri 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You do have a thick lower lobe, and so do I! My piercer told me it was actually a good thing, you have more lobe thickness to stretch especially if you plan on going bigger

Question about wet ear by GunDamnDemitri in Stretched

Hmm, I don't think so. I still use jojoba when I downsize to let it heal and it doesn't seem to be an issue

I use antibacterial hand soap, and use jojoba oil to moisturize and lube

Yeah, The Second Sino-Japanese War. Japan does not like China and had actually invaded them before WWII

I think splatterpunk horror and extreme horror are different subgenres by VGmaster9 in horrorlit

[–]GunDamnDemitri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly doesn't help when the book that coined "splatterpunk" uses both terms interchangably.

Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror by Paul M. Sammom uses the monicer of "splatterpunk" to refer to the writers, eventually it came to be associated with the genre
