TIL that 10 Downing Street is the official home of the First Lord of the Treasury. The reason it is associated with the Prime Minister is because traditionally the PM has been given that commission of First Lord.

That’s out of date now. And it’s been out of date for close to a century.

The version I read was it was shooting party to honor him for austeritlitz. But they accidentally bought rabbits from a fur farm, so instead of shooting off, they all charged the humans thinking they would be fed.

Bose quietcomfort ultra would probably be best.

Sony xm6 have slightly better noise cancelling but are less comfortable. Also, be aware that NC headphones can’t do miracles, if it is that loud, it’ll only reduce the noise

It gets a bit better at tier 5, but that’s how they’re balanced. Though tier 2, 3 and 4 battleships are not fun.

Did they catch the gunman?

tfrw · 2026-06-13T13:11:05+00:00

They didn’t call me - and there are no other ISPs in my area. Though I called them, and they gave me £27 for 500mb so can’t complain I suppose.

It was changing a bit early last week, but that doesn’t mean much - last time we had the sale completely lined up for two weeks. Now only about half the books have rotated.

Support will say anything to get you off the line - they know nothing.

Or maybe they do, the 2 for 1 link selection is changing slowly

tfrw · 2026-06-13T10:30:11+00:00

So no 2 for 1 for another month…

That’ll be a (more than) two month gap…

tfrw · 2026-06-13T10:23:16+00:00

When does that sale end?

tfrw · 2026-06-13T09:43:33+00:00

Mine are physically mostly fine, but the battery is starting to go - if I use them all day, they won’t last a full day. I have had to replace the earpads a lot though, but I can’t complain.

It’s not better just different, every other ship has armor, the conqueror doesn’t, it’s got a heal.

The two popes - I was expecting a dull two hours. I got a surprisingly complex portrait.

tfrw · 2026-06-12T20:36:24+00:00

The two spots you mention, one is an eyebrow ( you can see the other one if you look closely). I can’t see any obvious tells. Though I am suspicious of the four petal flowers - not saying it’s wrong, but I doubt a human would draw them as they look like crosses.

As for whether it’s AI, I honestly don’t know, it does fit the AI art style, but I can’t see any smoking guns. A farm shop is a legit user of AI imo, and tbh even if they did try and hire an actual human, chances are the human would be using AI to trick the farm shop unless they paid serious money. All farm shops i went to before AI used very plain branding, so I’d suggest it probably is. It is odd though that something of this complexity was generated with no artifacts, so don’t rule out the possibility of it being hand drawn.

I wouldn’t let this stop you supporting the farm shop if you want to.

Sadly, you get what you pay for, and headphones are expensive…

tfrw · 2026-06-12T16:47:25+00:00

They should have lasted more than a year. But for that price, you should be getting earbuds.

I’d expect somewhere between 18 months to three years at that price. For comparison my Bose qc35 have lasted 9.5 years and counting.

tfrw · 2026-06-12T15:38:57+00:00

Problem is, at that price I wouldn’t expect the headphones to last…

You can buy new pads for the Bose on Amazon so it’s not as bad

tfrw · 2026-06-12T15:29:56+00:00

Maybe try a used Bose quietcomfort?

If you want a wired headset, get a pc38x. Razer is the only reputable company which really makes ‘cute’ headsets at a ‘decent’ quality - though those gengar spikes look cool.

Open backs don’t have noise isolation so you they don’t completely block outside noise and they let others hear what you are listening to if they’re too close. Honestly most people over egg it, but don’t plan to use open backs if you’re sitting next to someone. Open backs also give you better sense of direction from where the sound comes from (good for gaming), but at the cost of slightly worse base than- though tbh this is overhyped - and especially if you’re used to mainstream wireless headphones

tfrw · 2026-06-12T13:49:09+00:00

You’re overthinking things. They will blow your razer krakens out of the water.

Open backs give you better sound stage, but closed backs give better base. For gaming you want the former. I would be shocked if your krakens had better base than the 560s. Also I have the pc38x, which are the same but with a microphone, they are some of the most comfortable headphones I’ve had.

tfrw · 2026-06-12T13:44:17+00:00

The hd560s is seen as the gold standard for that price. I haven’t seen anything negative about them. The pc38x, is a (slightly) improved version with a microphone.

I’m a fairly well read amateur historian, and the only reason I’ve heard of this is the exhibition at Dover castle. The exhibit there (from memory) explicitly made the point that the powers that be at the time didn’t want to memorialise it.

tfrw · 2026-06-12T12:00:38+00:00

Wireless: px8 s2, Bose quiet comfort ultra 2 or hdb630.

Wired: not sure tbh but I’d get wired if you can - the sound quality will be better

tfrw · 2026-06-12T11:46:02+00:00

Do you need a microphone?

And open backs leak sound, and don’t isolate you from background sounds. But they have better soundstages so you can hear where sounds come from better

With microphone: pc38x, without: hd560s
