I am so glad I got the X4 before it was discontinued

Front light, touch screen? I don't need all that! I'm so happy I convinced myself to get the x4. That's it.

Boo XTEINK for ruining something great.

Saw a Subaru Sambar Dias for sale

(That's not the actual car, but it's the same exact type and color)

Is it worth it? I don't know the cost yet but like, in general.

Use cases: Up to 3 people (or 2 people and a dog?) on shortish road trips and camping trips with a small RTT on top. Been looking at a VW eurovan but it seems too large for our needs.

Never owned a kei vehicle but I fell in love with how this one looks. It's adorable! Can it withstand gravel/dirt roads and potholes? Also, does it sleep 2 in the back or just one?

How to increase my rumbling: breathing

I know, like any muscle, I should just practice and exercise my tensor tympani, but I am running into one specific roadblock, which is I can not breath while rumbling, which makes my limit ~11 seconds give or take (I can hold my breath longer but it gets harder to focus on the muscle and all after that time.) Does anyone have any tips on how to bypass this? I think it may be because I clench my throat a LOT when rumbling, for maximum strength, because otherwise i get a very weak rumble. Thoughts?

Edit: Also, sometimes when i rumble loudly it makes a ringing sound. Any idea what that's about???

Climbing gym attire

Over the course of the next week I have a course at my local climbing gym. Unfortunately, transtape does not get me comfortably flat enough to where I would be comfortable wearing just a tshirt over it.

Do you guys have any recommendations for what I can wear to a rock climbing gym that hides my form, but is still comfortable? For reference this week's highs will be 75-87 f, and the gym has no ac, though it does have a couple giant fans. I'm not sure how adequate my normal solution of open button down over tshirt is for a gym haha. Probably should mention that I'm doing both bouldering and top rope, so stuff shouldn't get caught in my belay and harness.

I thought everyone could do this!

As a person with sound sensitivity, it helps in a loud environment, I've noticed it kind of cancels out the bass sometimes. I thought it was just normal! Is there any data on what percent of people can do it? Now I'm curious.

If we can give people noise why can't we take it away?

Like, hearing aids. But hearing unhelpfuls. I have misophonia and would gladly switch off my hearing for a bit. Why isn't there a technology that does this?

EDIT: GUYS I UNDERSTAND ANC IS A THING. IT WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH. Or maybe it will. Y'all think I'm rich enough for the newest airpods?

edit 2 electric boogaloo: Why're yall downvoting me I just asked a stupid question

Men's bathroom politics

Ok, the title is overstating it. But I have some questions about the mens room. I've been in a couple times to wash my hands, but otherwise I kind of avoid public restrooms all together (unhealthy, I know,) because of my anxiety about it.

So, if all the stalls are full, do I just kind of wait in the corner? Will people be assuming I'm waiting for a urinal, if they can't see all of them? Should I just awkwardly be like "Uhh I need a stall"????? Not to mention how disgusting men's restrooms are. Which doesn't help, but if I didn't have such anxiety about it, wouldn't be holding me back.

I KNOW I'm overthinking it. Just humor me, please.

Crosspoint apps

Hello, has anyone flashed crosspoint apps? It sounds awesome and I want to give it a go but want to hear some outside reviews. Also don't want to brick my device haha, so far I haven't seen any reviews.

Are there animals with misophonia?

I know this sounds strange but hear me out.

Ok, so there is hardly any research done on misophonia, but has there ever been any anecdotal evidence of animals being randomly really set off by one sound, even when it doesn't bother the rest of their species? Anything, whether it be your pet cat or a more famous case, I'm interested to know if other animals share this, especially closer related ones like chimps, bonobos, or gorillas.

How to get the free 7/11 slurpee?

I have never gotten a slurpee before but want to get one today, 7/11, because there is nothing better than free food :) Do I get the cup from a place or do I have to ask for one? Do I need to tell them I'm getting it or do i just get it and leave. Please, I know I'm overthinking this, but the only way to stop is to know for sure.

Edit: Thank you all, the cups were sitting by the front

Walk me through flashing crosspoint on microsd (x4)

It's not factory blocked, but I don't think I have any data transfer cables. I downloaded the crosspoint file to the microsd, now what? How do I get it to, like, do what it does? I'm not very techy in case you couldn't tell haha. I restarted the device like the website said and nothing happened, though that could just be the ereader being tricky because it had been displaying the low battery warning for an hour of reading.

Advice appreciated!

Cristian or Florian?

I'm ftm, and currently go by a short, "out-there" name that many people think is a nickname. On top of that, it is difficult for my family to pronounce. Which do you like better, Cristian ("Kris-ti-AHN") or Florian ("Flo-ri-AHN)? I'll probably be keeping my "nickname" name for day-to-day and friends.

Florian-

Pros: I really love it, and if I ever have a child I would name them Florian, except I most likely will never have children.

Cons: Sounds a bit old-man, and the nickname Flo is typically more feminine and seems pretty common for old ladies out here in the US of A. Also, my dad has a friend named Florian, but he's not that close so I don't envision is being a huge problem.

Cristian-

Pros: Has a similar starting sound to my current name, eh, it's a good name.

Cons: I'm not religious, also in Romania (where my family is from) the nickname is Cristi, a feminine name here in the US, which would be pretty embarrassing if a friend heard my, I don't know, grandma calling me that.

Let me know what y'all think! Also, if you want to suggest other names in a similar vein, I'd love to hear them.

Xteink with random numbers?

(Yes, the photo was taken through a potato. There's nothing I can do about it.)

I had set aside my book that was still open for a bit and came back to it later, and it has random looking numbers filling from the top of the screen to the bottom over my book.

Ok well, they are not completely random. It consists of 49.64% 51.00% and 51.88%, which to my eyes appear random, and they are in different orders everytime. Once the numbers reach the bottom of the screen it flashes black, then white again, then starts filling up with numbers once more. I've turned it off and back on again, but still the same thing over a white background. Please help, I got it only about a week ago, and I've been enjoying my time with it so far!

Just thought I should mention, I am running the stock firmware, as I intend to flash crosspoint but have not gotten to it yet.

Masculine voice at low levels

I am very socially awkward, and when I exchange a quiet hello or thank you with someone else, I find it sounds very feminine. Otherwise, my voice is pretty feminine but just because it's high pitched, but it's passable as I generally look pretty young. Does anyone have any techniques for a quiet masculine voice, or will I always perceive it as feminine simply because in society quiet and soft things are by default labeled girly.

How do you get your books?

Thinking of getting one of these, and I was wondering how y'all get your books? Do you buy the pdfs/epubs, *cough* pirate *cough*, or is there a way to export pdfs/epubs from programs like Libby? I'm sold on every other aspect, just want to know the logistics.

Dyeing underlayers of the front of my hair

(sorry for the horrifying way i scribbled out my face lmao)

My hair is a light brown and I would like to dye just the front of it (probably either gdy matcha or devils ivy)

this is it after getting thoroughly soaked, and normally it is much more flat. I was wondering if it would work to dye just the underlayers of the parts that go over my forehead (bangs?) like, lifting up the upper layer and holding it back with a bandana or something. Or, would it look weird, especially with my flat, straight hair that is prone to oilyness. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for tutorials or other techniques.

I just want a look that kind of frames my face, without having to dye too much as I have a sensitive scalp.

Loop dream for misophonia?

They cost a lot but the 27db snr is quite appealing. I will be traveling soon and will need all the quiet I can get. Are these worth it for the extra snr? Also, how comfortable are they? I currently have vibes which are -22db i believe. Is the upgrade worth it, and if no, are there any other reputable earplugs you can recommend that are in that range (preferable ~25+ snr)
