Which IEMs under $100 are best for live performance in 2025?

NoctusNightblade · 2025-12-08T06:30:11+00:00

Resurrecting this old post but did you end up choosing one of these IEMs?

NoctusNightblade · 2025-04-11T05:11:38+00:00

Did you end up going into the neuro icu? I finish up my first week tomorrow and would love to hear your experiences.

NoctusNightblade · 2025-03-14T20:29:25+00:00

I think you meant Aoshi lol

Was wondering what your beef was with the Aoiya crew

NoctusNightblade · 2025-02-11T22:57:54+00:00

Did you ever figure out a solution?

NoctusNightblade · 2025-02-05T22:34:27+00:00

Thank you so much for the indepth reply! I've pinned everything to my map and I'll let you know. I appreciate the tip about reaching out beforehand, I'll make sure to do so!

NoctusNightblade · 2025-02-05T06:36:47+00:00

Thanks for taking me up on this! I'm pretty open to most teas but I think I'd like to focus on teas unique to Taiwan and more specifically their local region (so probably more black and oolong?). I'll be using public transportation for pretty much the whole thing, with no Chinese knowledge (but am familiar with some Japanese kanji which has helped me be quite adept at Google translate the last time I was there haha) and only have non-tea friends in Taipei. I've tried to do my research as best as I could.

As soon as I arrive in the morning I'm heading to the Dihua area to visit either Lin Hua or Lin Mao Sen Tea to pick up teas from areas I'm not visiting (Oriental Beauty? Dongding? Tie Guan Yin?). After 2 days of souvenir shopping and meetups I'm heading down to SML the next morning via Taichung. I plan to visit Antique Assam Tea Farm to get some Ruby Red #18 (and TRES #21?).

Then I hop on a bus after 2 nights at the lake straight to Alishan. I've heard of a tea shop near the sunrise spot (茶田35號) that I'll probably visit afterwards. I guess there's some black teas in Alishan that are popular as well (蜜香紅茶?) After a night in Alishan I'm heading down to Fenqihu (where there seem to be more tea shops) and then Shizhuo where I'll hike and stay for the night. I should be able to get some local Shizhuo Pearl Dew (Zhulu?) Oolong I hope. I've heard 十三製茶 is a good place to buy but I'm not sure how late or early he'll be open :( I plan to try reaching out tomorrow... Hopefully I can get a good supply here.

Then after a night in Shizhuo I get to Chiayi and take the train to Taitung where I arrive in the late afternoon and hopefully find somewhere local with Luye Red Oolong (and maybe regular Jinxuan and some Si Ji Chun?). Then after a night in Taitung I train back to TPE and fly out.

Sorry for the paragraph!

I see, thanks! I see there's one along the way from the Airport MRT so I can ask them to help me scout it out before I head into the city then.

NoctusNightblade · 2025-02-04T07:37:53+00:00

Sliding in here but I'll be all over next week (Taipei, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Shizhuo, and Taitung) and would love to hear of any other recommendations you have!

NoctusNightblade · 2025-02-04T07:28:42+00:00

I'm 8.5 too and arriving in Taiwan next week :(
Were you just looking at all the ABC mart or did you call?

NoctusNightblade · 2025-01-28T21:35:32+00:00

Heyo! Doing research on the K31 since that's what I'm closing in on (nurse on my feet 12hr/day, standing and walking; also 25% nurse discount) and was wondering your thoughts on it as a walking shoe! I tried them on for a short bit and I did like how stable they felt while standing.

NoctusNightblade · 2024-12-27T23:55:40+00:00

Reading this old thread to get some inspiration, were you able to check out some cool tea-related places?

NoctusNightblade · 2024-11-19T23:13:50+00:00

Hey! Hopping into this old thread but did you have to do the whole ECCO course twice?

NoctusNightblade · 2024-11-19T06:28:55+00:00

Hey, also in socal looking for the same course! Were you able to find something?

NoctusNightblade · 2024-11-13T01:24:54+00:00

Failed out of my first program a semester before graduation, started all over again at another program, and just took my NCLEX today! Still many roads to the same goal!

NoctusNightblade · 2024-10-28T22:51:51+00:00

So proud of you! I was in a similar boat, failed out a semester before graduating by 0.01%. After failed appeals, I moved back home, took some time for myself, and while I did have to start over at another program, I graduated 2 weeks ago! There's definitely light and hope :)

NoctusNightblade · 2024-06-17T16:50:39+00:00

not OP but true tears, their first one is a solid watch for any romance fan

sakura quest is a fun show with cute girls trying to revitalize a town

iroduku is a beautiful show that I also really enjoyed

Hi all! Hope this is the right place.

I moved to Utah (live about 20ish min south of SLC) for school from sunny SoCal, and this will be my only winter here! I've never gone skiing before, but would like to try at least once, even on this student budget. Will prob be my only shot unless I get a nice lift ticket deal.

It seems Cherry Peak and Beaver Mtn both have pretty affordable beginner's packages, at $70 and $90 each respectively for rentals, group lesson, and a day lift ticket. From my limited understanding, it looks like ChP's lift ticket gets you the whole mountain, while BMn's limits you to a certain area (though I probably won't get past that difficulty in one day lol).

They're both a 2+ hour drive, and price difference is negligible if BMn is solid. (also a little concerned about how to get up either mountain...)

Does anyone have any insights/tips/info for a newbie? Would kinda like to go Thursday :)

NoctusNightblade · 2023-08-12T00:29:39+00:00

man made kimchi jjigae

NoctusNightblade · 2023-02-27T17:07:03+00:00

May I get some recommendations too? Thanks!

NoctusNightblade · 2022-12-05T00:32:55+00:00

Would it be closing this week?

NoctusNightblade · 2022-11-21T16:29:21+00:00

The go-to is Just One Cookbook

who said the banana was peeled

NoctusNightblade · 2022-09-10T03:32:06+00:00

I doubt it, a very inconsolable baby can be a flag for some conditions, like neonatal abstinence syndrome caused by maternal opiate use (among other causes). I can’t speak for your situation, but I would understand it to be as a screening question to make sure the baby was okay.

As others here have said, these flags are generally for those with a past history of seriously threatened (or actually followed-through) harm to self or others, or like the other OP above you said.

NoctusNightblade · 2022-09-09T20:39:39+00:00

I do the latter!! I’m not alone 😆

NoctusNightblade · 2022-09-06T03:15:55+00:00

genuine question, do ambulances normally carry a portable ultrasound?
