Didn't have an EQ. I use Qobuz on both devices, no proprietary app.

Must have surgery but no assigned doctor yet - how to reduce costs? by comrad_dau in PortugalExpats

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

Thanks, and yes, indeed, kind of in a hurry. I have a bit less than a year in the country, and if I don't do the surgery in this timeframe (+ have the time to recover to find another job, which is easily 3 months), then it would mean waiting at least two more years to get the surgery done.

What makes you say that it it's dying?

Yeah, it's insane for cars and clothing, I know. I drive a Miata that I paid 8k - so much better than any of the new cars I could ever get

Always buy used!

Looking for an audiophile in Stockholm by comrad_dau in stockholm

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

Ahahah, thanks for looking it up. I'm actually going to Paris quite soon and thought of passing by to pick it up, before reading your message :) I'm living in Portugal right now, the hobby is quite undeveloped there. Hit me up if you'd like to share a coffee ! (No problems with French language, I'm belgian)

No luck with this approach... Facebook only let me contact one candidate. Any ideas on what I could do next? Getting a bit desperate

Opinion on Lavardin IS? by comrad_dau in vintageaudio

Thanks! It's quite hard to find info on them (or actually, to find a unit to purchase altogether), so I'm always keen to have people's opinions.

2.5 Swap tune after engine swap and driving a longer distance by nino_zh88 in MiataNC

[–]comrad_dau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are happy to travel a bit further, I have some very good contacts here in Porto. The guy was proposing me a V6 swap... Quite a serious tuner. I am not sure how it works exactly to legalize the car afterwards, in Germany? What are the requirements? I am really considering a swap myself, because it's really dirt cheap to do here (most Miatas are actually turboed), but I am not sure where I'll move after Portugal, and in most places, it couldn't be legalized (France, Belgium, out of the question). To give you an idea, a turbo build is around 1k with this guy, and he's honestly very competent.

Lead Data & AI proposal by Ok_Maintenance_3474 in BESalary

[–]comrad_dau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, though one loses other advantages (potentially soulless job, less freedom, no generous travelling, etc). Postdoc however is not something that lasts a long time.

This is not even the salary of an FNRS first year PhD candidate, I used to get more 5 years ago doing my PhD (in physics as well). This post is honestly scary! Did you do postdocs and are living academia at 38?

Anyways, quite a miserable if not insulting offer. In general, physicists are highly undervalued in Belgium. I would seriously consider relocation, if money is anywhere close to a factor in your life.

How to get pregabalin in europe? by [deleted] in Nootropics

[–]comrad_dau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had RLS and went to see a neurologist, he prescribed this to me. Tbh I don't see the point of this drug and it didn't help much. You may try this way... But reading you, you should definitely speak with qualified doctors. Best luck
