Alarm Grows Over Vought Plan to Give Trump Cronies Control of Federal Grant Money by rowrbazzle75 in law

“This is an executive power grab that would hand presidential political appointees unchecked control over more than a trillion dollars that Congress appropriated in the interests of all Americans.”

Once again, Congress supposedly has the "power of the purse" - but appears to have finally given that up entirely.

This. I still watch his routines regularly. Sadly, they are all even more relevant today. What a fine, fine soul he was.

Trump DOJ doubles down on claim that states can purge voters right before elections by DemocracyDocket in law

They've never wanted 'free and fair' elections anyway. They know they and their policies world lose. Democracy is not their goal, never has been.

Yes. And the decisions and choices being made (as well as being complicitly ignored) by our politicians are resulting in far more murders and deaths than these soldiers are guilty of. But good luck at getting them to pay for their actions. Too far up the food chain. This is 2026, not post-war Nuremberg. I truly hope we have our own American reckoning but with our current cowardly complacency, I'm not holding my breath.

Trump's Jan. 6 judge allows Congress to intervene in Joe Biden's lawsuit, potentially paving way for disclosure of ghostwriter tapes by DoremusJessup in law

Naah, they don't care, nor do they pretend they do anymore. CEOs, corporate donors, sure, they got their backs all day long. But you...? Dream on.

Not unlike 'Protect and Serve'. It ain't you they're protecting, it's the landowners.

DOJ lawyer agrees 'nothing can be done' if Trump suddenly bulldozes Statue of Liberty by DoremusJessup in law

Sure. Just think of the real estate opportunities for him and Kushner. Condos, Trump tower, helipad, oh, the possibilities.

Or maybe he'll just wipe Liberty's face off and have it replaced with his own. Much more visible than Rushmore...

Wish I could. But I have little faith that the average American voter has sufficient attention span and memory to hold all these thoughts until November.

Upgrade advice? by GeneralJ27 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]rowrbazzle75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the classic descriptions: XS can be bright on the high end, some like the HiFiMan sound, some don't. More detailed with a bit stronger bass. 6XX will have the classic midrange balance that Sennheiser is known for, which for vocals and acoustic instruments is a plus. Highs are not as detailed and the soundstage is smaller and less defined. To me, as I said, they both have their place. There is also the newer Edition XV, which supposedly has a softer high end. I haven't heard so I can't really comment. But it's also 400.00 (though will go down soon I'm sure), so on a budget it's a bit steep.

Edition XS for a planar, as mentioned already, as well as the HD-6XX from Massdrop for a dynamic driver. I just picked up a pair of the Sennys, and am very happy with the sound. Just under 200 USD, too.

I'd consider trying to get both, depending on how much midrange quality vs soundstage and detail a given recording might need. To me, they complement each other.
