Here’s my take:
My experience with sennheiser mom 5 was good. The richness in sound, along with ability to customize the eq to a more detailed band, were its best features. The battery life is phenomenal, you can go a week without charging it, easily. The design is good too.

However, the ANC isn’t flagship standards, despite the upgrade over mom 4. It doesent cancel the noise of subway, air conditioner, etc completely.
Because this was bothering me, I went ahead and exchanged it for the Bose quiet comfort ultra gen 2. It’s only been a few days, but I find it more comfortable, better looking, and simply reliable. Though it does lag behind the sennheiser in sound quality and ofcourse, battery life.

If you are heavy user who prioritizes sound quality for music, go with Mom5

If you are a traveler, or need something that’s versatile in all settings, go with the QC Ultra 2.

Both headphones are priced nearly the same.

Will post a rated review soon, after using the Bose for a while. Let me know your questions.

Iv been a Conor supporter ever since his early days. But I have a good feeling he’s gonna get knocked out or gassed out then knocked out.

He’s older and not as quick anymore. His stamina was always a problem, but his agility and accuracy compensated, helping him knock out everyone in early days. He’s not as agile anymore.

Don’t get me started on his leg, there’s no way it won’t hurt every time he kicks.

Whereas Max is a veteran now, and dude has a chin. He’s simply going to outlast Conor and win that fight.

But who the fuck knows. This sport is crazy. Ilia losing, Pereira losing, anything can happen. Good luck for those who place bets.

Who you folks got for this one?

It’s been 3 weeks since I quit. Have been managing it pretty well.

But today difficult. It was work, my primary trigger. After meetings or stressful events I get a strong urge to smoke. But I held it together, remembered the 5-10 minute rule, and it was ok. My mind gave flashes, images, of grabbing a cigarette, I just had to push through it.

Iv realized that this will be the real test, works gonna get busy, and with that will come urges. Just need to get through the first 3 months and I’ll start seeing the light.

Just as the title says. I’m far too concerned about cancer now. That fear helped in some ways.

I had purchased the pretty pink M1 MacBook Air about 6 years ago. Have used it plenty early on but later fell out of love with the laptop, as I kept occupied with my phone, work laptop, and life in general.

However I have been using it more often due to some personal work, and realized how timeless this piece of tech is. With an update to the MacOs and refreshed design, the laptop feels rejuvenated. It's still quick, light, and is perfect for both work and social media. It covers my need for a tablet as well.

Hoping Apple continues to support this awesome laptop.

Obviously there have been urges.

But it feels different this time. I’m more resilient, purposeful, and I rode through the storm. My golden nuggets so far:

1. Ride the urge for 5-10 mins: that’s it. The urges will come in hard for brief spurts of time, depending on your triggers. You just need to stay firm for those minutes. Grab a candy bar or a coffee, whatever works for you.

2. Use nicotine replacement therapy. I am on step 2 of patches. Works well. Also use gum sometimes to deal with hard triggers.

4. Get used to your triggers. The real test for me has been dealing with work. Work is the greatest trigger for me. I’ve been able to combat it so far.

6. Sense of purpose. When you are that determined to quit, it should feel like smoking doesn’t even exist in your life, like you don’t even think about it. That’s where I’m trying to get at, and it’s been going well. The more you think about it, the more it may increase the chances of you picking up one.

You might wonder how I’m able to share this having quit for only 5 days. I had quit cigarettes early in my life for about 10 years. Made a mistake to get hooked again later, trying a few cigarettes thinking it won’t matter as I didn’t have the urges anymore.

So I know what it takes. Ask any questions you have.

All,

I shared a post a month or so ago about my concerns with the tissot PRX 35mm powermatic losing time about 2 seconds a day, well within benchmarks but being unable to make the watch run faster instead of slower, which I would have preferred. The dial up or crown up positions hadn’t worked either.

So it turns out the crown down or face down positions make my watch run faster, about 1-2 seconds per day.

Just wanted to share for those who tried regulating and failed, to try crown down or face down at night, it works. If I wear the watch all the time, the watch loses time, so resting the watch during the night is important.

Ciao

Hi All

I have been smoking for about 8 years.

I smoke about 5 cigarettes on average per day, and it significantly deteriorates my health due to a chronic medical condition, so it’s more critical for me to quit than the average person.

I have been trying Nicotine patches for more than a month , 10mg. Although they have helped reduce my cravings for smoking, I still do end up smoking a 2-3 cigarettes on average a day even with the patch on. Even more, I take nicotine gums few times a day as well.

This behaviour is consistent with stressful situations or when I’m at work. Insignificant matters make me think about picking up a cigarette. I think it also has to do with caffeine (I consume a lot), and hand to mouth action.

I’m concerned that my lack of resilience has worsened my addiction. Can I still find a way to quit, and get used to patches, or do you think I have made my addiction worse? The patches help, but I don’t want to smoke a single cigarette along with it.

Appreciate any feedback or advice on this! ✌️

PS: I’m really glad I found this sub, I think people can hold me accountable here 😆

With so many posts asking about whether a watch is real or fake, one’s gotta wonder, if replica makers are gathering info to make the watches infallible.

I especially doubt those posts that provide little to no context.

What do you folks think?
