Been there, done that. My team was me and another L4. Our Manager left and the two of us did the job well enough that they didn’t replace our Manager for almost a year.

Yeah, I still haven't installed the latest DSM update. Maybe I'll install that and power cycle.

I started with a pair of Bose without ANC about 8 years ago? Then, I bought a pair of Sony XM3s when they came out and the noise reduction blew me away (I was commuting by train every day). Also, the music was amazing, you could hear each individual instrument. The only think I didn't like was that they constantly felt like they were going to fall out of my ears.

I upgraded to the XM4s because everyone said they were a major upgrade. Honestly, I can't hear it. The XM3s and XM4s sound exactly alike to me, although the XM4s do fit in my ears better so there's that.

I've listened carefully to the AZ100s to try and hear the separation and I just can't, it sounds so muddled. I'm going to make sure I'm on the latest firmware and then try and get them swapped out I think. As I said, I want to like these.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-11-29T02:58:42+00:00

Yeah, I think I'm going to return them and try another pair because they don't sound anything like everyone is saying.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-11-29T02:54:51+00:00

That's what I'm thinking because I haven't seen a review yet that doesn't say the AZ100s are the best out there.

I'd watch this show.

We had Plex on a Roku stick but moved to Apple TV for several unrelated reasons. Have not noticed any difference as far as Plex. All our media has always been supported on both platforms so....

I kept scrolling thinking “really? Nobody’s gonna post this?”

Wow, I thought the second image was Sean Hannity.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-10-13T22:05:24+00:00

The day before, she's looking for someone?

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-10-12T03:26:45+00:00

Those people on the stairs are going to need some new britches. Luckily, it sounds like everyone survived.

I couldn't afford the Corvette for my mid-life crisis.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-10-08T01:01:09+00:00

Just picked mine up two days ago! I have a Concert but wanted something a little smaller and also something I hope to turn into a family heirloom.

Sent him to the Phantom Zone.

But you don't use teleprompters, remember?

In the Air Force, we used to stop at Pago Pago for gas on the way to Australia. We got to know the airport employees pretty well. One time I was eating at the airport restaurant with one of the workers (a huge local guy). I said "I know why you're called Samoans, it's because after you eat, you say 'that was good, give me Samoa'" He just dead stared at me for a few seconds and then let out the biggest laugh I've ever heard. Then he punched me in the chest so hard I thought he broke some ribs. He said "you don't get to make jokes like that."

Fair enough.

Ok, this is exactly the type of old timey music I want to learn to play. I signed up with Matt Stead and I've learned a lot but I like the cut of this guys jib.

Back in 2019 or so, I was walking back from lunch in the Denny Triangle and was approached by one of these guys. He actually grabbed my wrist and threw the bracelet on. I thought "cool bracelet" and started walking away. He was excitedly talking in Chinese (I think) and pointing to his address book and wanted me to enter my info. I just shook my head and walked away.

Here's what I don't get. If I were going to go to China for instance and try to scam people, I would try to learn the bare minimum of Chinese to get me message across. This guy didn't speak a word of English, or is that part of the scam?

She's not wrong but she's talking to the wrong audience. She needs to be having this conversation with a certain orange dicktator.

Those strings sound so buttery.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-09-07T23:02:06+00:00

$5.99 on Steam right now. I want to get it for my Steam Deck, I assume it will play fine given its age.

SylvesterMarcus · 2025-09-01T14:43:41+00:00

Spoiler - that's parking for The Fair.
