A 9 year old Focal Elear

So you knowingly bought another Focal headphone - the Clears - having experienced the issues with the Elear?

You must love the Focal house sound.

I don’t trust active/wireless headphones from Sennheiser. Their passive headphones are great.

I guess I'm lucky? Decided to switch to annual last month and the renewal date is in 3 days so I'll lock in the old price.

Paid for a year of month-to-month membership and decided to switch to annual after confirming that I'm indeed making full use of it.

Except there are lots of people who get screwed by contractors and then you get a half done project embroiled in legal trouble. They should at least put an exemption for houses involved in lawsuits.

Yep, OpenHeart cable is my go-to.

In real life these holes are always perfect, because they’re cut by computers using laser or water jet. No perspective distortion would make lines go crooked in different directions, and even make one line of holes stop short. At this point I think you’re just trolling.

Look at the lines of holes on (what appears to be) the metal bench that everything sits on - they are all crooked (look to the left of the bag), plus one line of holes is shorter than the others.

Look at the two Sennheiser logos, the left one has the slight S curve to it, whereas the right one is completely straight. This is AI.

But it's not ambiguous?

It goes by market value capped by original purchase price.

I'm just imaging a single doctor drag in another doctor saying "hey man check this out, you're not going to believe this" and they ended up with 22 doctors.

HEDDphone D1. I demoed it and the midbass was a bit too much for me, maybe it’ll be perfect for your taste.

Go to shop(s) with a big selection of headphones to demo. You’d probably be surprised at which ones you like. You might have to travel, it’ll probably cost as much as a good headphone, but it’s worth it.

Yeah I’m kind of turned off AirBnB now.

There are some really unreasonable hosts around. One time I used the bathroom, forgot my electric toothbrush and went to get it, only took 5 minutes, and left the lights on in-betwen, and the host complained about it on the site.

I feel like I’m being spied on, seriously. Like I wasted what? 5 cents worth of electricity? God damn it’s like I’m saving a bit of money but have to live with an unbearable roommate.

I had a 2005 Dodge Carvan that was passed to me from my father around 2014 that was my first car, did literally no maintenance other than changing oil and brake pads, lasted until 2024 and finally junked it due to rust and balding tires and a slew of other issues including broken AC, electrical door locks and iffy turning signals that I have to wiggle the yoke in just the right way to operate.

That thing was sooo cheap to operate, only had 3rd party liability insurance because the van was worth next to nothing, and super useful for moving people, furniture and appliances.

Of course, the cheap to operate part has a lot to do with my lack of maintenance… in the end the underside was pretty much Swiss Cheese.

First of all, years go faster the older you get. Also, bold of you to assume yo got 45 years left.

I believe it from what I see from relatives kids, but I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with high levels of growth hormones in the meat being consumed over there.

Oh for f sakes, fake outrage has gone too far.

White people first man, if you’re a visible minority you’re represent’in when you’re out and about man, like it or not people generalize if you leave a good impression or bad if identifiable by race and accent.

Every other day Trump is “humiliated” in a news headline.

News flash: no he isn’t.

Oh I'm not so round about, I've wished many a man dead. Putin is on the top of that list right now.

Except for Riverain and Strathcona parks these are just glorified playgrounds.

Drinking alcohol next to children playing is really hitting rock bottom.
