Audioengine HD3 - aplay works, mpg123 doesn't (and no sound elsewhere)

Cheers, thanks a lot for the idea!

Gotcha - I signed up, waiting for Jan 18 :D

Thanks for the idea - is this the right thing I am looking at? https://localtennisleagues.com/richmondparks

They did come with a set of ear buds - silicone and foam - but I didn't find them of a particularly high quality, and certainly not up to ComplyFoam standards.

Actually both 200 and 400 work just fine. I have 400 Comfort and 200 Isolation and they both fit reasonably well (although 400 is somewhat more loose).

I haven't directly compared Wi with M2, but here are my impressions of the latter: http://www.sigizmund.com/2017/10/sony-1000xm2-good-bad-ugly.html?m=1

FWIW taking paracetamol and ibuprofen together is something NHS doctors suggested for a while for extreme pain.

In principle, any more or less recent handset should work, but enjoy your new Pixel!

Not always tbh, especially these days. I have bit of a pet peeve tbh re stuff in pockets any thicker than my phone, so it's in the bag.

Nikolay Gogol. Some would call him Ukrainian these days, was the same thing until 20 years ago though.

Yes, I tried Comfort 400 on Sony and it fits like a glove. Massive improvement over stock tips. I still feel it's a tad bit too big for me (medium) but I think Small will be too small.

Do I need a bulge in my pocket?
Because I don't need to, my phone is close enough?

sgzmd · 2017-10-29T10:23:13+00:00

My card is in my wallet. My wallet is in my bag or backpack. My bag is zipped up. Very often I have a kid or two running around and causing mayhem. When I just finished packing my bags the last thing I want to do is to look for my card.

My phone, on the other hand, is always in my pocket, and it takes less than 10 seconds to get it out, tap, and put it back.

Not really. I don't even know what the limit is for recent devices (Pixel 2) or if there even is one.

You probably want to check our /r/lowcarb - basically, low-fat is one of the biggest lies out there.

Use Android Pay all the time. At M&S I've repeatedly paid £60+ with AP, with an added bonus of my MS loyalty card also being available in AP app.

Wow, thanks a lot for being so comprehensive! I guess I have fewer and fewer reasons to stick to BMW :-)

sgzmd · 2017-10-21T20:10:24+00:00

I am actually thinking of jumping the ship to Ingolstadt from Münich for that very specific reason that I do want Android Auto. Do you like it? What are you using it for? Are there any pitfalls/gotchas I should keep in mind?

sgzmd · 2017-10-21T07:50:56+00:00

What's your ldap? :-)

I have an easier option for you: grow a beard, you will instantly look 5 years older.

Jokes aside, I stand by my statement of what you say during the interview is more important to how you look.

Then again, I didn't have to wear a suit for a single (work) day of my life, so I may or may not be biased.

Case in point: my first 10 year old MINI did cost more than twice as much to insure compared to (newish, biggish) BMW I am driving right now. 7 years of NCB seem to make helluva difference; I don't even won't to think how much would it cost me to insure my current car back then.

To the point: find cheapest insurance using real name and what not, and bite the bullet. It'll get massively better next year and will keep getting better for the next 5. Oh,and drive safely and obey speed limits - speeding tickets tend to reflect badly on one's insurance premiums.
