I see others have asked this before, but it’s been a few years and new stuff is always coming out. I’ve had a megaboom 3 for like 8 years now and it did great work but at high volume it’s starting to distort and sound gross. I’d surely buy a new megaboom but I’m interested if there’s anything better in the price range that also holds up to outdoor play. Right now I’m leaning towards a refurbished soundlink max.

What do yall think?

I’ve been getting through decks without too much difficulty and heard Bee’s are among the toughest cards available. I’ve got a half dozen bees sitting around the house so i thought “fuck it, I’m getting kinda strong”

The Bee’s brought me back down to earth, i got a shear going about halfway through the deck after maybe five attempts and my left forearm feels CRANKED.

Anyhow, this is a fun hobby. One day in the not too distance future, I’ll pull one of these apart in a few seconds. Thanks for reading.

Nood has a new one, i used to have a Braun a few years back and i liked it but i have it away and have just been trimming hair since then. Any chance of Nood being more effective or do you think if i did a few months with Braun I’ve achieved peak ipl reduction?

I know that probably only a few pairs ever existed , but it’s worth a shot

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere but i couldn’t find it.

I’m getting pretty intermediate with my practice, advanced tuck planche, card tears, one armed hangs, press to handstand, and it seems I’m just doing too much too fast.

I was having a really good couple of weeks and then one evening practicing my press to handstand something “locked up” in my arms and i wasn’t sure what it was at first, but in the days following, i saw the muscles in my arms and back weren’t really sore in any meaningful way, the ache (not quite pain but not a good sensation either) was in the tissue connecting my muscles to my elbows. I’ve just been taking it easy for a few days and the left elbow feels fine now. The right elbow is less than 100% but healing fast enough that I’m not feeling too nervous about it anymore.

My understanding is that while muscles rapidly remodel in a period of days, when your connective tissue is pushed beyond its limits, increases in strength take weeks (6 weeks is the figure i saw). Any tips for moving back into activity intelligently and hopefully not straining so much when i get confident enough to start pressing again?

This doesn’t seem to be a common opinion, but for me, Minus the Herd by Ion Dissonance has aged extremely well. Kneel is one of the heaviest songs I’ve ever heard period, and i also love a few other stand outs. Are there any other bands that try to balance dumb heaviness with smart heaviness in this way? Like my dream would be kublai khan with weirder time signatures. Any leads appreciated 🙏🏻

What’s your ranking? Mine is kinda incomplete as I’ve barely listened to the first and last one. Anyhow here it is

1. Anomalies
2. Lucid Interval
3. Halls of Amenti (i get it it’s an EP but it rules)
4. Exploiting Dysfunction
5. Xenosapien
6. Misled by Certainty
7. Conforming to Abnormality

I think some people love Conforming but it never hooked me, the only song i really remember is wither. Anomalies is loaded with bangers and the production is kind of flawless. I expect Xenosapien and maybe even misled could grow on me over time but i didn’t give them much of a chance back when they dropped. Maybe an error, but anyway, tell me why I’m wrong :)
