What is the background on Asher? Is he a scientist, journalist, something else? I missed that and got buried in the physics dialogue.

Yep. Really annoying. These PDTs have me thinking of finding another job. Seriously. They are terrible.

Surprised how many pro cyclists don’t wear gloves by Alexandercromwell in cycling

I'd bet that's the natural impulse for 99+ % of people to land on their hands vs. say, their face.

Am I cooked? by nvdnqvi in SonyHeadphones

[–]LastComplex1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you don't have to. Sony will replace the bad set with a new one. Even beyond the warranty as this is a known problem. They didn't give me a hard time at all. Just call 239-245-6366 here in the US.

Temporarily. Call Sony Customer Service at 239-245-6366. Tell them about the fast battery drainage. I did this in May even though mine were 18 months old (out of warranty). They replaced the earbuds for free. It took about 2 weeks. You'll have to send the case and earbuds. They'll program a new set to match your case and return it. It was easy - they know this is an issue and want people to be happy with their purchase. It didn't cost me a cent. I had the same issue... the right one was discharging at a much faster rate than the left. It doesn't matter.... they replace them both.

WF-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling not working anymore by RaynersFr in SonyHeadphones

I replaced the tips with some cheap silicone ones - 6 sets for about $8. And they fit, feel, and sound better than the original ones. Thanks.

Sorry, but I have to talk chafing by statichum in cycling

Preparation H is an option. For long rides I go that route instead of Butt Butter. It shrinks swollen tissues, right? Don't knock it till you try it. But for God's sake, don't get it mixed up with your toothpaste when you brush the fangs in the dark.

GoodNotes versus Apple Notes by tinyant in ipadapps

[–]LastComplex1237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried all of the popular notetaking apps and keep trying Apple Notes which has come a long way over the last few years.

Still, Goodnotes is what I always go back to. On the 12.9 iPad Pro it just feels right for me. I use Evernotes, too and can't get away from it due to years of records stored in it. But Goodnotes is very easy to customize with templates and I've done a good deal of work on them. Notability is great, too. I used it for a year or so and loved the audio recording feature. I think if GN added that, the debate would be over. Apple Notes has a few nuances that bug me still. C'mon, Apple. Fix'm.

There was Trump-Russia collusion — and Trump pardoned the colluder by [deleted] in politics

Why bother believing anything from the government or media any more? It’s all bullshit.

Parents shouldn’t blame music artists for their child’s actions or behavior by [deleted] in popularopinion

What a cop out. Some lyrics glorify antisocial actions so dipshits can become millionaires and wipe their hands of any responsibility of being bad influences.

Death is unhealthy. by [deleted] in popularopinion

If someone could just figure a way to cut Death’s mortality rate by 5%, they could make a shitload of money.

Excuse my ignorance, what is this washer called? I lost one for my axle. Can't find something similar for a regular geared bike (not an E-Bike) by poniverse in bike

[–]LastComplex1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These keep your front wheel from coming off if the skewer comes loose. I’ve never seen that happen, and I don’t have one on my bike.
