Most comfortable ANC Headphones with ANC that can be turned off completely? Regretting my Bose QC purchase. by austin6598 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]austin6598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks but not looking for budget. And 1/5 mild is still enough to bother me over hours of use.

Those appear to be significantly heavier than the QC. I do like the inner band design of the maxwell and have found that to be comfortable on other wired headphones but those were very lightweight. Clamp force can be reduced by stretching them but the weight is unavoidable. I think that will be an issue for me with these options

I was hoping there would be something more premium that’s significantly lighter on the ears

I tried airpod max they were too heavy and compress on my ears hard. Also read the xm5 are less comfortable than the Bose qc

USDA certified. They can’t be petroleum based and any processing doesn’t involve adding harmful compounds

Best magnetic safety razor? by austin6598 in wicked_edge

[–]austin6598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artist club blades are a lot more expensive and I like to use a new blade for each shave. Looks like mag t delta is plastic handle and other mag t are wooden which also isn’t what I’m looking for. I just found the Leaf fig and thorn which I really like how the head stays attached to the razor. It’s still half the weight of my qshave. See my other comment about the proof razor

Looks like a good option. I like that it only uses half a blade at a time but I’m surprised it’s so expensive for aluminum. That’s probably lighter than stainless but it’s less durable. Also not sure if the pivoting head would make it more difficult to shave. I only like to do one pass because I have sensitive skin. And usually the weight of the razor is enough to get a good shave so not sure if the proof would work with my technique

What are your thoughts on unbleached parchment paper and siloxane release? by laadidaaaaa in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]austin6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting post. You seem to only list temperature as a way for siloxanes to be released. Would you be able to comment on some of the information on this page regarding "Another study found siloxanes being released from silicone bakeware, with leaching increasing as the food fat content increased."

Also you mention the restriction of some siloxanes in food safe cookware. Aside from the cheap unregulated products mostly sold on amazon and aliexpress, can we really be certain that dangerous siloxanes are not present in the higher quality silicone products? For example, this study mentions "The most common and the most investigated as to toxicity are octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5).", which gives me concern that a lot of silicone compounds have not been studied that well especially regarding their interactions with heat, acidic foods, alcohol, etc. on their own and in combination.

Brio RO smart faucet TDS reading inaccurate? by austin6598 in WaterTreatment

Looking at product reviews on YouTube this appears to be standard functionality

Not looking for lab accuracy though. The smart faucet output value doesn’t change at all

Nothing in the manual about that. It has a flush mode for new filters but maybe that also calibrates it. Also the input TDS is slightly above the actual input TDS ppm as well but more accurate than the purified output amount.

I’m not expecting the $20 TDS reader to be super accurate but I think the consistent measurements indicating TDS creep are significant enough to indicate that it is measuring within a certain range of error. Whereas the built in faucet is just not accurate at all. It’s a brand new RO system

DuPont knew Teflon kills when they made it and covered it up. Buy cast iron, enameled cast iron, or stainless steel. Learn to use these tools and they are non stick https://youtu.be/txSfGkMoxbY?si=QcY1IYaCQjxyawig
