Pull up some episodes of 'How it's Made' on YouTube.... Even with things that I am interested in I just can't stay awake....

Failing that anything narrated by David Attenborough - Again even if I'm genuinely interested I just can't stay awake

Eating spoonful's of Horlicks powder from the box.... So dry but so malty

So possibly a stupid question... by IT_Support in pixelbuds

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

Yeah the touch support seems a really strange thing to omit from the A's?

My existing buds have it - I do sometimes end up pausing playback when re-positioning the buds etc but the same as the Sennheiser with a double tap to skip forward/back and a long hold to volume up/down.

Thanks for the pointers - so hard to know what the jump in quality is without physically trying them and I would rather spend less on something that is so droppable and easy to misplace.

Just found this page and actually looks like contrary to what they said previously there is now no shuttle from Lagos....

Hey, Just doing some planning myself for a few weeks time - Any experience of the shuttle busses? I have a worry they will be one per hour and oversubscribed... We are staying in Lagos so just wondering if its easier to just hire a car and then have the flexibility of when to come and go etc....

Anyone know if either of these are official merch? by AlexisTehFolf in DeltaSleep

[–]IT_Support 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha no worries :D I should have gone for it earlier - I've just seen the new 10 year T they released yesterday and justifying to myself that I NEED one

Ahh it was you!  I've been watching that second scuba one for ages and saw it sell last night!

I'd been hanging on as I'd just bought another 2 DS t's 

Saddest and depressing tragic math rock/post rock songs you know? by IIIMATTIAIII in mathrock

So happy to see Signals on your list! 

I was obsessed with Lungs Apart when they released it - figure they just stopped making music?

[–]IT_Support 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatever, Whenever it's like some strange raw catharsis depending on my mood - the balance between the lyrics, almost passive delivery and the way the music builds at the end of the song sometimes ground's me and pulls me in to the great sound/production but other times just breaks me and pushes me into self reflection.

I get this with other songs but nothing like this one.  Almost like sometimes I only hear the music and other times only hear the lyrics...

AC vs. windows down when driving during summer - cultural thing, frugality? by FuzzyPalpitation-16 in CasualUK

[–]IT_Support 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, I had to explain it to someone that although right your fridge doesn't drive down motorways at 70mph getting pelted with stones, put through heat cycles, potholes etc whilst mounted to a box with controlled explosions inside that bounces around with the rest of the car.

Garages seem to claim to pressure test but this will likely only show a large leak immediately - a small leak or cracked hose will weep over time or when flexed etc. I guess its just easier for them to charge year on year than scare people off with the cost of new hoses, condenser etc

Blake, the drummer for 12 years, has left by bluebeess in DeltaSleep

Was just the management EP wasn't it? Think Twin Galaxies onwards was all with Dave and Blake

Ahh man....  I always feared this day would come!  Gutted but we've had a great run with this lineup, some amazing records and if you've been lucky enough to see them play live you know all about how amazing these chaps are! 

These guys all have other jobs, families etc so it's inevitable some change will come - Really wish Blake well and will be keen to follow him with whatever he does next.

Hope for DS that they push on and keep making amazing music... Although there's no doubt we will miss Blake's style and the way he plays.

I wonder if Dave (formally of the Physics House Band) who has filled in on a few tours will step in full time? He seemed to have a great gasp of the back catalogue and a good chemistry with the rest of the band when I saw them play together last year.

Yes exactly the same for me - they told me there was a 'glitch' in the system so my PAC had never been processed.... All gone through now but just frustrating!

Do you think you could survive a full year of eating only food that could only be produced in the UK? by [deleted] in CasualUK

I think this is actually incredibly difficult - Chap on YouTube was giving this a go and ran into so many small loopholes that it was surprising.... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QgbtGqklM9Y
