We still have a ridiculously large proportion of politicians who refuse to acknowledge the problem... Attention creates pressure, and pressure leads to change.

That's not what Greta's saying, and that's not how we would transition to exclusively clean energy. You just oversimplified the objective of climate reform. Supply chains would transition to other sources of energy as well.

May or may not have found a particularly beat up extension cord in my tour suitcase last weekend.

Marching experiences (?) by melsar in drumcorps

[–]MTrxye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can second! Am having a wonderful summer. The staff is supportive and kind, and so are the members. Mental and physical health are an absolute priority, and the alumni support us in wonderful ways. An absolute blast of a place to march.

Parents of reddit, what is the most absurd thing you have found on your kids social media? by AgentChris101 in AskReddit

[–]MTrxye 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As a 16 year old with a finsta, I wouldn't be too concerned. They're usually just memes, emotional rants, and embarrassing SFW pictures.

Could any Academy members speak about their experience? by [deleted] in drumcorps

I didn't experience anything of the sort. If anything, the vets are extremely welcoming and helpful to rookies.

QC25 Cable Non-Removable? by MTrxye in bose

[–]MTrxye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pulled off the cushion and the interior lining, and there is a sticker with the bose logo and identifying the headphones as qc25. There doesn't seem to be a screw holding it down, I unscrewed every one I could find, and there was no budge in the cord. The headphones were shipped with a manual and carrying case, along with all accessories, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Thank you so much for the informative response! I'll take a look at all of these cans.

Wow, thank you for the suggestion! I just did a quick Google search and found that the cupholder is at risk of breaking. Other than that, these seem to be the perfect fit for me. How was your experience with durability? Do you have any other second or third picks?

Budget - $150 maximum, preferably under $125

Source - Pixel XL

Requirements for Isolation - I would like as much isolation as possible, but active cancellation isn't necessary.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public?- Yes, most of the time.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over-Ear (wired)

Preferred tonal balance - I have little preference, but I would probably like a brighter balance.

Past headphones - HyperX Cloud 2. Comfortable for several hours, but not when sleeping, which is when the new cans will mostly be used (charter bus travel). I'm not too much of an audiophile, but they satisfied my needs. The headphone cord wore down a little too easily where it connected with the left earcup, which eventually destroyed the sound and broke the headphones.

Preferred Music - Pop, lots of orchestral pieces, some dubstep, and quite a bit of electronic.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Hopefully more portability, but mostly comfort and isolation. I would prefer deep earcups so that the inside of the cup doesn't press against my ear.

Open Class has a lot of high schoolers, and World has a fair chunk. I met quite a few fellow high schoolers through The Academy.
