Hey fellow Schiit heads,
Wall warts are the bane of my existence. They're so unbelievably inconvenient. I wanted to check and see if anyone had found or can recommend an aftermarket adapter that doesn't murder their power strip.
I seriously think they found the most comically inconvenient wall power supplies they could find and said "haha, they'll love this."
Nobody talks about it.
For a long time I thought I was the only one. This happens to me all the time. I can be in a quiet room and somebody starts talking, wham - it's like my ear closes shut. It's the same feeling, sensation and action when you flex your inner eardrum or Open your mouth really wide like you're going to yell. (Edit: yawning is reliable to reproduce the effect)
I've searched about it before, with little result, but got curious again and found this.
My left ear is super sensitive compared to my right ear. Sometimes it's maddening.
Anyway, The more you know.
Finding this made me very happy and I thought I would share.
To start, I've been a diehard sennheiser fan for over 10 years. I started with a set of closed backs (~$120 at the time. They're in my office still but I'm out to eat.) momentum true wireless 2's, momentum 3 true wireless, 4 true wireless (warranty replacement for the 3's), momentum 4's (returned), massdrop / sennheiser 6xx, sennheiser 660s2's, sennheiser profile microphone, HDB630... I know there are some loose fits in here but there is a trend.
All of my wired sets have been nothing but good to me. With my current setup I have my HD660S2's pushed to their full potential. It's so good.
Momentum TW2's/4's were the the only wireless headphones that have been good to me. Tw3's failed. They replaced them with tw4's. Mia at home rn but they've been good. Momentum 4 cans, mega disappointment. They failed early and I just returned them And didn't look back.
Now the HDB630s. Got them in February. Lasted to June. Funny battery issue and just Friday got my warranty replacement. They've immediately failed. Won't turn off. Bluetooth issues all day. Battery indicator lights blinking, flickering. I used them for about 4 hours of light home chore work.
I loved them. I believed in them. I'm tired boss and don't want to go through another 2month warranty process.
I'm tired boss.
Is anybody here familiar with the police response to light aerial fireworks?
Mortars, bottle rockets, and the like? Especially with the north towns.
Recent upgrade. Couldn't be happier.
I dont think all of the overkill was recorded.
I'm so sorry, I don't want this to be a shameless plug but it may be, just a little. I just want to let people know that they're not alone. I don't want money, recognition, or anything.
Dx'd ADHD from a kid, Aspie w/ bonus content a couple years ago.
I've been working from home for about 6 years now. I've struggled immensely with it, even more so now. I feel a little pigeon holed but mostly lonely. I moved to a new city and have been here for that time and I've maybe made 3 friends that I'm lucky to see 1x a year. I have other friends in my hometown but anyway...
I've had an idea now for a couple years that I wanted to implement at work - an open chat. Like a discord server for people who work remotely or just feel that disconnection to provide an opportunity to meet, befriend, learn, and coach others. All professional ofc. Still an HR nightmare and I pulled back from it just because it'd be more trouble than it's worth.
I've always had a lot of success making friends online. Text and chat can ease the pressure, let me say what I want to when I want to. Instead of trying something at work, I've tried to build one on twitch. To say I've been fortunate to meet and build the community and friendships I have, we all have, isn't adequate.
Betty's shameful invitation plugesque twitch channel to hang out, chill, make friends, or work. I also hate ads. I wanted to make a safeplace to help others through their own lives by maybe sharing the extensive experience I have with coaches, therapy, and psychiatry. It's a small community. Many are just like us. AND I don't want your money. If you're having trouble with ad interruptions I'll send you a sub. Ads are the bane of my existence. Money is a tool and if I can forgo some of my own to help somebody else, so be it.
It's for us, by us, and everyone is welcome to come in and work, chill, push buttons, play some tunes, whatever. I have the lifetime goal of finding some way or building something that can give back to everyone.
I'd love to show you my rats too :3
WFH has been a double edged sword for me for a number of reasons. I suppose my PD's dont really help with the loneliness. For those of you who do work from home, how have you coped, or succeeded, in your own environment?
You ever have those days that are going just ok, maybe you didnt sleep well, but you keep on keepin' on.. and then something happens. Something upsetting. Something unresolved. It's like it infiltrates my entire being and I can't stop thinking about the whole mess. Sometimes I cant even move.
It's like I get into a quiet meltdown and the day itself feels scrapped. Nothing tastes good, nothing feels good, nothings fun, obligations abandoned, day ruined. I was already low and perhaps fragile to begin with but now I've been hamstrung. It feels like I've been gutted.
A long time ago I heard something that clicked in me; "It's never about the task or what you have to do, It's always about how you feel." Well, how do you interrupt the feelings and thoughts to get your day back?
Does anyone know how to combat this? Are there any tips or tricks that you've used to turn things around?
Reposted because I can't be so vague.
Ok, for those of you who have a Sakura 305...
I saw some of you had one among your collection and I get in these modes where I just have to find them and get them. THEY'RE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!
They look very similar to the Alvin Draft-Matic series of pencils - which I have a full set of 03-09 in both the old and new series.
I have, literally, a portfolio of others that suit my fancy, so I ask: Where do I have to go to get these pencils??
