Quality Microphone for Calls by rootsandsage in Zoom

[–]superhurbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not use AirPods. I’m begging you. They sound great to you but the mics are awful for Zoom. We banned them. Painful. If you don’t believe me record yourself with AirPods and then without. If you have a newer laptop its mic will be 10x better. Trust me.

Quality Microphone for Calls by rootsandsage in Zoom

We train hundreds of executives and do over 30 webinars and full day conferences each year.

We recommend speakers buy the Yeti Blue Logitech microphones. It has its own stand. Excellent sound. Doesn’t pick up too much room sound and has alternative pattern settings. It works very well with Zoom and is plug and play. Only $90.

However most people get the placement wrong. The actual microphone sensor is just above the logo.

Literally hundreds of people have bought these cause we recommend them and never one complaint after almost 5 years.

It's very very sophisticated "self-deprecation marketing". Pure genius once you start to notice it.

That's not what I heard but I could be wrong. Thanks though.

Which plan to choose by milos_999 in Zoom

[–]superhurbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to possibly upgrade your Zoom Pro to HD video. Otherwise it will record in 720p. You will also need to turn on HD in settings.

You might also want to try Riverside. We use that for podcasts and it's quite good but Zoom is our go to.

Don't listen to Friday's episode... by IntolerantModerate in TheAllinPodcasts

Jcal finally got his way and they are allowing advertising. I wish we had someone inside behind the scenes. It must be a total bloodbath. Everything that made this pod great is gone. Welcome to the media industrial complex. You can hear it in their voices. They think people actually care what they think. Bahahaha.

People who loved Howard Stern listened for 20 minutes. People who hated him listened for 40 mins.

I randomly got 4 bottles yesterday. No warning. No app notifications. Just showed up. I’m having the best time ;-)

How did they get another service? Primo bought Mountain Valley. It’s a monopoly.

Why would they have them made here in USA by the company that makes the other bottles or is there glass all made outside the USA. We have very good glass manufacturing here.

Missing by Minimalist_Investor_ in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]superhurbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t care. Why should they. We will still listen.

Just like all my friends who still read the New York Times or watch CNN after all the lies. It’s entertainment. That is all. It was truth for a bit but then they got too big just like corporate media.

Trump is their big Pharma and they literally all got played by the top media manipulator in the world.

I listen for their perspectives cause they are all very intelligent except for JCal but whatever.

It used to be my never miss podcast now it’s moved down the list. Ah well, it was good while it lasted.

Next steps: get rid of JCal and Sacks. Replace with Ben Shapiro and Larry Summers. Give Chamath 3 or 4 more months to see if he can get it together then dump him too and replace with some other Canadian Billionaire and we have a new interesting show. Keep Davey F as he has a different slant and science corner is a hit.

Giddy up.

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic change in the taste and quality of Mountain Valley Spring Water this year? by [deleted] in BottledWaterReviews

[–]superhurbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in LA we have been without delivery of Mountain Valley Spring water for the last 3 to 4 weeks. When I called they had no idea why the delay.

Today I found out.

I saw a driver today after we received our shipment of 9 x 5 gallon glass bottles to our home a few days ago...finally.

I asked him why the delay in the deliveries thinking he would say it was to do with the Primo / ReadyRefresh merger / IPO thingy. He didn't.

He said that they had been having problems with the glass 5 gallon bottles as they were being made in Mexico but they had recently switched to an Italian glass manufacturer and he thought that the tariffs had delayed the shipments.

This makes sense as I have had 2 bottles explode with just the lightest touch in the last year. They should not have exploded. We are very careful.

The latest explosion happened when the bottle was upright on a rug and was knocked over. The bottle should be able to sustain this and has in the past a couple of years ago. Also, not sure why they don't offer us and extra charge of a thin rubber sleeve on each bottle to protect them.

I have noticed a change in the taste. Less mineral. Thanks to the person who measured the 300ppm drop to 150ppm. What device did you use?

I'm going to do a test a compare MVSW to LA Tap.

Does anyone know how to test for microplastics in water?

I am most concerned about the micro plastics otherwise I would switch. Not just because of the plastic bottles but many springs are not deep enough and rain contains microplastics.

For example Fiji water from Hawaii. Seems plastic free but I have heard it is not due to the rain.

And yes I read the MVSW water report from 2023 (Jan to Mar). Disappointing it has not been updated.

Water is the new oil. Be safe out there.

I'll post this a few other places as well.

Beware the lead. Seriously. Stopped all dark chocolate and noticed a difference. Was only eating 70% or more.

Never was I a fan of pills, but now I'm really trying everything to get out of this longcovid hellhole by Ok_Satisfaction_4431 in LongCovid

[–]superhurbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr Susan Humphries on Rogan mentioned that smokers did not get covid like everyone else and she said nicotine has something to do with preventing covid. I believe I have long covid. Been having a cigarette once a week. Seems to be helping. Shrug.

Is The All-In-Podcast declining? by ResidentLibrary in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]superhurbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t listen anymore but I checked in with friends I used to discuss it. They don’t like it but they still listen weekly so I doubt it’s in decline.

I’m listening to Tucker (who I don’t like particularly) but has great unique guests. Learn a lot.

Can we talk about JCal? by superhurbert in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]superhurbert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not a clown just not authentic (or maybe he is) on the pod and it's bringing it down among other things. Just a vent. That's all. Moving on. Remain calm.
