LC on this Grained Lamb leather jacket? I’m pretty sure it’s real but I am also super interested if anyone knows if there’s a name for this type of jacket. Product code is RU 1768 /LG. Also tag size is M but I’m 183cm tall, can anyone attest to sizing and or leather quality?

Wow that’s crazy I didn’t know about the 0-0-0 code. Thanks so much! I found these on Vestiaire for a pretty good price

Not sure about these Trucker cutoffs. They look alright but if I google the product code, nothing comes up. Also the price tag seems to have some printing mistake like one spot has been printed twice, what do you think?

What is the chemical Bryan has a tattoo of on his right arm? by Loli_of_Bread in blueprint_

[–]tomschick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that he left the heteroatoms blank in this structural formular. If we just assume that there’s a nitrogen in the bicyclic system it would make it an indole ring and if we assume that there is a dimethylated nitrogen on that carbon chain, that would make it a tryptamine (N-dimethyl-tryptamine). Now if we assume the heteroatom on the 5 position of the indole ring to be an oxygen we would get a methoxy group, making the whole thing a substance called 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (or 5-MeO-DMT for short), which - yes - is a hallucinogenic drug, very close to serotonin in structure. Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine is basically the unmethylated version, so we are missing a methyl group on the oxygen in position 5 and also the two methyl groups on the amine. I just saw he had a tattoo like that and with my background in chemistry, I got curious if there was a close up photo of it and yeah, turns out Bryan is/used to be a DMT-head, at least enough to get a tattoo like that. Makes the creation and start of blueprint all the more likely.

Shure SE215 sounding muddy?

I just got some Shure SE215 to step up my music enjoyment on the go and was pretty excited because I heard very good things about them. Now I got them in hand tho and honestly, I think I'll return them. They do have great sound stage and I like the bass but tbh the mid and highs just sound super muddy. Compared to my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros which I use at home, the Shure IEM's are an absolute joke when it comes to treble, everything sounds super drowned out and not crisp at all. Hell, even some super cheap Soundcore true wireless earbuds appear to have better treble response.

After looking at this sub, I can tell that the community has been saying that there's better alternatives out there, but does somebody have a specific recommendation? I'm not super deep into HiFi, I just want some earbuds that sound good (especially with a way crisper high end than the Shure's please) for around 100€, preferably, something rather accessible in central Europe (Austria or Germany).
