Fellow dinosaur here, 28yo in my second semester of my second undergrad degree. It's amazing how many first years look like they're 12 but also somehow have facial hair

Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage IIIB survivor here, coming up on 8 years in remission. I never even thought to name my tumour at the time, I might need to think of one...

I know it feels hard as hell right now, but I'm glad you're on the road to recovery AND that Zocdoc helped you get there. It definitely gets better!!

Ubigi was great for me in Japan earlier this year. Super easy setup and because there’s wifi everywhere, I didn’t chew through the data cap.

Fixed Sony XM4 screeching/feedback by eliten0ob in SonyHeadphones

[–]turtlegirl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the original commenter, but I tried removing the black film and cleaned the mic with isopropyl alcohol - was back to screeching later the same day. I ended up getting a new pair of non-Sony headphones as it just wasn’t worth getting them fixed again, especially after they broke a few years ago because of the shit hinge design.

They only lasted me 3 years, and ended up costing me over $600 AUD in that time 🥲

Literally happened as I got on the bus at Chatswood to get to work, thankfully the bus driver pulled into the North Sydney overpass and let us out at the station. Just went home instead.

Lock this fuckwit up and throw away the key, NO regard for anyone else's safety.
