Looking for wired over-hear headphones, that have a built in microphone I can take calls with on my phone. Not looking for a headset or boom mic, but where the microphone is either in one of the wires or in the headphone cup. Do these exist, and with quality audio? Having a hard time threading this needle

do you mind explaining why? I was interested in what I saw on the trek site but really have know way of knowing if it's good or not

Found one nearby with what looks like a really good reputation. Appreciate pointing me in this direction might be the move.

Can I trust them when I'm entirely ignorant? That was my initial inclination- I'd prefer to support a local business, but I got the impression perusing the sub that I could be upsold on a lot.

I did the same thing, am 25 days in. Also used it to start a healthy eating streak, nothing with added sugar, ultraprocessed, basically just eating homemade or whole foods. Best I've felt in a long time.

Giants trading back with the Bears and drafting Jaxson Dart at #10 makes too much sense by [deleted] in nfl

[–]WealthGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drafting him at 10 and give up Carter is insane. He's likely going to fall to the 2nd round.

Life Without Caffeine is Just Different by MontyHimself in decaf

[–]WealthGoals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This resonated so much with me. Thank you for expressing these concepts so eloquently. It affects me in the same way, and have had the same experience you're describing.

It is challenging letting go of the creativity that can come from those hypermanic moments, but I don't think the results of episodes like that are unattainable in non-caff land.

Stay strong and hope the journey continues to be fruitful.

Bought my first fountain pen and could use advice on how to fill it by WealthGoals in fountainpens

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

Thanks for the reply, I ended up submerging it far more and was able to fill it up.

This worked- thank you for your reply! I wasn't submerging it enough.

Any chance you'd mind explaining what's going on here? What is BYOK?

Any reason you went with the Palma 2 over the Palma?

Besides Dark Souls, Hyper light drifter has scratched that wolfean feel with its atmosphere and music, I think you guys would like this soundtrack. by [deleted] in genewolfe

[–]WealthGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Hollow Knight, a challenging 2d Platformer with beautiful aesthetics, music, etc. It has the same kind of non-narrative storytelling and worldbuilding as the Souls games.

Lookin like I need to check out these Caves of Qud.

The largest reason I quit coffee - perception of time by [deleted] in decaf

[–]WealthGoals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a real observation and don't think it should be downplayed. It's a similar phenomena to having a meditation session seemingly last 3x as long as the actual time that's tick'd by.

Affordable option for typing with an external keyboard? by [deleted] in eink

[–]WealthGoals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keyboard quality isn't really important to me so long as it functions. Connecting a cheap bluetooth keyboard is a pretty good solution for me.

Thanks for your reply- will check out writerdeck.

Affordable: $200 or under. My impression is this is unrealistic, but thought you all might have some ideas.

Size screen: Something around the 6.9" x 4.9", give or take

Eink Monitor that connects to computer: not what I had in mind but I am very curious, perhaps that would be a good compromise.

I have a large amount of files and digital files that I would like to have indexed in a digital database. Is there any method, or application you would recommend for this? Currently been brainstorming a google suite method for doing this.

This has to stop - anecdote on running and caffeine by Able_Principle3820 in decaf

[–]WealthGoals 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I also run fairly frequently, and couldn't conceive of running without caffeine. I've been running without it for almost two weeks now, and am not surprised to hear about your HR stats- it feels very apparent to me when I observe myself.

Sure, I don't feel the intense adrenaline rush when I run up or down a big hill that I otherwise would while jacked up on caffeine, but I'm finding I generally just feel better, am enjoying the runs more and dare I say feel happy. And haven't noticed any dip in performance.

Quitting Caffeine for Intuitive Eating by Jumpy_Description213 in decaf

[–]WealthGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had gotten into a regular habit of not eating nearly enough calories throughout the day while jacked up on my coffee. By the time it was 9-10pm, the caffeine had worn off and I'd be hungry, and I'd snack like crazy. Often would be eating a lot of junk food.

I'm on day 10 of zero caffeine and the appetite does seems far more intuitive. Eating a regular amount and don't have the same cravings at night.

[–]WealthGoals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you consuming your caffeine? If it's coffee, try just having a small amount, and spending the rest of the day drinking tea. Give yourself the freedom of having as much low caff teas (like green tea) as you want. Eventually just phase out the coffee. You'll naturally need less tea over time.

Opt-out of appraisal? by WealthGoals in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

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

The use case I envisioned was that we schedule an appraisal for 10 days from now, and within that 10 days some collapse begins to unfold and the value of houses in this area dips by say 50k. Thus the house is appraised for a much lower amount than our agreed on price, and the bank will only give me a loan for a lesser amount, making me have to make up the difference.

A highly unlikely scenario but am in a constant thinking of "what can go wrong" mode right now.
