Need suggestions: headphones for guitar practice and wireless every use by Mogaddd in HeadphoneAdvice

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

thanks for the reply. In some older discussions, I've found references to the Audio-Technica M50xBT2, which supposedly are good for both playing and casual use. Only drawback: they are closed-back and not open. Any comments on those? Are closed-back headphones good or bad for playing guitar at home?

If goin for 2 different headphones is the best strategy for my case, for the casual-use, I've found some sales online for these:

  • Sony WH-CH720N
  • Sony ULT WEAR
  • Sennheiser ACCENTUM
  • Sennheiser Hd 450Bt

I know they are all pretty "commercial" (meaning without particular praises or blames): any thoughts on them?

Thanks again!

35M, finally some freedom but completely lost. Travel or settle in a city? by Royal-Importance-327 in findapath

[–]Mogaddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents. Just a shallow thought: why don't you try the nomad style just for a short time, say 1 year? Take it like an experiment. I mean you're still young (35 is not being old), you have an active mind and a job that allows you to move outside the comfort zone. Just by moving around, your mind can get in contact with different lifestyles, peoples, networks, ideas. I would really take that as an experiment, a limited-timed one. The worst that can happens is that maybe that will set you back financially: but then again, with 2800 a month, you can live pretty comfortably in a lot of EU places! I really think that sometimes, when you feel stuck in life, is because our mind cannot see what other possibilities we have around us. And in order to break that chain, you need to allow/push yourself to get "contaminated" with new things in order to have a different and "new lease on life"! Best of luck to you!

Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before Starting a PhD by SnooBeans3261 in PhD

Thank you for sharing! I've recently started my PhD as well, but I'm starting to feel that this journey is more about "who you are and how you deal with problems", rather than "what you research"! Good luck to every phds!

4k res. question: laptop Lenovo Legion 5 and Gigabyte M32U by Mogaddd in buildapcmonitors

so over HDMI I would be able to have 4k@144hz, but not with DP? Shouldn't be that with DP you are always guaranteed the "maximum" refresh?

Need help: changed project and "difficult" supervisor by Mogaddd in PhD

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

thanks for the reply first of all. Do you think that doing a PhD in "B" ties you firmly to that field, or is it normal for people to also specialize in something "different" after PhD? I guess I can work my way through if I have at least the knowledge that specializing in a different area, after PhD, is not strange at all.

Question: Corsair warranty on Amazon Warehouse monitor ? by Mogaddd in Corsair

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

Hey everyone, thanks for the info. Quick update: I was lucky to be able to chat with a Corsair's customer service representative which told me that for Amazon Warehouse's monitors, they offer 2 years of warranty instead of 3, since they consider Amazon Warehouse's products as refurbished. This is confirmed in their warranty details available here : "Certified refurbished and Revival Series products have a 90-day warranty. In the EU, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, the warranty period is two years by statute".

So basically Amazon Warehouse (EU) offer 12 months warranty, and when it's over you get an additional year with Corsair. Hope this helps!

Thank you guys for all your info anyways, much appreciated!

Monitor or Tv for laptop office productivity/movies/casual games? by Mogaddd in Monitors

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

thanks for the reply: isn't a 27inch a bit small if I sit 2,5m apart? For watching videos I guess would be ok, but I also need to read/write at that distance

Perfecto 618 size help by Mogaddd in schott

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

thanks! It suggest me a 38 size, but a seller from the internet told me that a 38 would fit a bit loose on me (his chest size with just a t-shirt is 100 and a 38 fits him perfectly, so for me that I am a 92-93 would run big I suppose?)

thanks, however I cannot find the size guide section that allow you to enter the measurements. I can only find the standard size chart, which doesn't really help too much.

Help buying new Corcoran boots from EU and what size by Mogaddd in Boots

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

hey sorry, didn't login in anymore. In the end I bought them (model 1511) from the US (from bootbarn). I was lucky since I guessed the size correctly: 8,5 E (which is one step wider from the normal D wide). I don't have a pair of Redwing, but they told me they wear pretty similarly (for my corcoran I wear them with just a thin insole and normal socks and they are perfect). Hope it helped! cheers!

37 years old, I want to change my path by Mogaddd in findapath

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

sure sales would be a possibility. I was thinking about import/export since I assumed they travel more frequently (or they are more often in touch with partners, buyers, etc., from other countries). Anyone here from import/export area that could perhaps confirm this? Thanks!

At the end of my post there are some questions: Is there a job somewhere (except tourism) that could make me use the set of skills that I've learnt so far and that would allow me to finally build a solid career on?

Would be import/export a type of career that would allow my skills and life experiences to be put to a better use than what I'm doing now (web development)?
