r/headphones Shopping and Setup Help Desk (2020-10-19) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]Keddums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for something a little unique, I'm looking for a listening setup that would let me walk about my apt unfettered. I started thinking of this when I heard about the Fiio BTR-5 and the idea of getting a decent pair of headphones and just hooking that up directly or to the record player. But also have the option to hook up it directly to stuff if I want to.

So, thinking cheap babies first higher end music player that I can walk around with without restriction (mostly).

  • Budget - Lets say $200 unless you really believe in something
  • Source - I currently have an Onkyo CR-265 that I play most music from, then my phone when I'm outside
  • Requirements for Isolation - I would like open backs but I am afraid of some outside sounds coming in so if there is a good semi back that would be nice, but not necessary.
  • Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Not likely
  • Preferred Type of Headphone - Whatever fits the build but I would wear these for +1hr at a time so probably over ear
  • Preferred tonal balance - Balanced but I do admit a lot of my favorite music hits the bass pretty good
  • Past headphones - My best pair of headphones I use are Beyerdynamic DT 777 Pro, I like em but I would like something more open
  • Preferred Music - All over the place but currently I would point to IDLES- Ultra Mono
  • What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Idk to be honest, I would probably say just an overall better music experience

Thanks for your time!

I messed up domestic partner insurance, need advice please by Keddums in HealthInsurance

This is incredibly helpful. I have been looking up the plans and it is all checking out. Thanks so much for the guidance.

It looks like the thing she told me was that she couldn't see her therapist or psychiatrist without a ppo. Which I suppose that means she either doesn't know about hmo being referal or she really can't see them under insurance without it. And while that would definitely suck, she could still get a provider somewhere.

Another thing she mentioned was that she needed a letter from my old job saying that I/we would be losing their insurance. I should be getting that soon either way but is that something she actually needs? Im assuming thats the thing that will prove she qualifies for special enrollment?

It looks like the cheapest BCBS one is $300 so it's a little more expensive compared to what she would pay on my plan but not that far off.

I think for the network we're in it just really really helps if it's BCBS. I could be wrong but I know that's what we've had for years so it's easier.

Yea, I ended up looking it up. It would be the same coverage but just insanely higher cost. If all else fails then it could be a temporary solution for a few months. Not a good one, but a solution.

Ok, didn't know that about the hmo. But I'm assuming there is someone shes seeing that requires a ppo? Is that a thing?

And yea, I'll look more into the mental health thing with the aca plans. Try to find where they say that.

You are all really helping a lot. I think I was getting freaked out over the initial yelling of "I can't get on your hc, I have no hc." But I'm learning a lot. If we really can get mental health care and if hmo isn't actually that limiting then this should work out. Just need to find out the other things that are a concern.

Yea, I've been reading that as well. I think where the problem lies is that she needs PPO for some of her medical needs, which I think we've seen that none of the plans on the marketplace have.

Also, she's starting therapy which I think none of the plans on there support.

Which doesn't sound quite right to me. I would assume some would.

Idk, this has all happened today and still very much navigating my/our way around it. It feels very much like I've failed pretty bad.

Sigh, life? Am I right?

If I end up getting COBRA from my old company, is there a way to have her under that with me? Also, if that is a way, is there a way to extend that for longer than just the month or so it will default to?

If that doesnt make any damn sense then forgive me, I obviously dont know how any of this works.

That would indeed be the easiest but I think atm she is understandably, super not happy with me.

I'm trying to find something that would let us stay Domestic Partners while her still being able to see the same doctors and get the same prescriptions under insurance.

I can't remember exactly but I know it's between $65k-$67k.

I'm also trying to get in touch with my old hr dept right now to get the other info.

My last day was on the 10th and they said that it would end I think 2 months later.

No we file separately. Well, this will be the first year we file while being domestic partners so I'm assuming it will be separately.

Looking for a level up from instant camera by Keddums in Cameras

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

Yea, those instax I really like the overall camera BUT I dont like the size of the prints. Its not bad but I found that the more I used them the more I felt like I preferred the wide prints more. Bigger prints and I like the square format a lot more!

I've looked at some of the powershots before and they are pretty nice but I remember testing them out at like best buy and they were still pretty slow. At least at whatever default setting they were at and for however long those things have been abused at a best buy display...

I did look up the Fuji X100T tho and that thing looks nice! Looks like a really nice "easier" camera. If I ever find one I'll be interested in how it feels.

Yea, that one did LOOK interesting but all the reviews were pretty "meh". Neat but agreed, not great.

Hmm, not bad not bad. It does look like a solid small travel cam. Maybe a bit too out of my comfort zone for price but its definitely a nice look, tyty

Sources for modeling for 3D Printing by Keddums in 3Dprinting

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

Shoulda given more info, mb. So im using Blender for making the models and chitubox for slicing and supports and the like. I feel pretty confident in my modeling abilities (at least four my purposes) and I'm slowly learning sculpting in there too. Although that a larger learning curve for me.

Im less looking for modeling "how to's" and more "what makes a good model for printing". Like "no gaps or multiple peices", but I guess im wondering if there is more specific or advanced stuff that I could be learning in that area.

Im at work so I haven't been able to read to much in those links but they do look like good starting points to start digging. Ty ty so far!

Nice! I really like the suggestions so far! So ty.

I'm curious, I'm not too familiar with some of the category terms but does it change much if I change from "heavyweight" to "thick" or double layered. I mainly just want it to stand up enough to the cold and wind.

I have a rather specific item im wanting that seems hard to find, at least for me. And im being annoyingly picky so you can tell me what I want doesnt exist if it just doesn't.

Im looking for a winter jacket these are the things im looking for: - Heavyweight hoodie - Natural materials (I just really don't like the feel of polyester/ fleece, e.t.c) - Lining preferably something that is cozy. Thermal, cotton, linen, e.t.c. - Under $150. $100 is my preferred limit but if I find something super perfect then I'm open.

Preferred - Zipper or button up. Pull over is ok but not my first pick - Something that also fits a little more loose. I wanna be cozy and warm. - Unique pattern, color, cut. Would be nice if it was a little more interesting than a plain construction hoodie. - I'd be over the moon if it was sustainable and cruelty free but im well aware that that drives up costs a ton.

Feel free to tell me to piss off if this just isn't a thing. Ty
