Hi,
Did anyone checked if they have 300 in the front and 100 as rare?
Does it sound better than traditional 300 as rare and 100 as fronts?
Please let me know your experience
Hi i am 36 and i work as a Software Developer and i have a house and family and kids and i live in Germany as an immigrant. On paper all sounds cool. But my marriage is a strict dead bedroom situation. My work situation gives me only worries as job security is hard these days even in Germany. There is no joy in life as in the community i have here is all the people from my own culture and sometimes it can be too toxic.
Germans are notorious for not welcoming foreigners, that's what we experience here in rural Germany. We have two amazing kids but life seems to be so stuck. I work from home. And for many people all i have shared is a blessing. So i should not complain, but i am really depressed and lonely and feel so stuck in this place and no one to talk to it's so suffocating.
I want to tell me doctor to prescribe me depression handling pills may be that can work but i feel i would get addicted to it. I just don't feel anything. I try to find spirituality but it does not help either. The state of numbness is harsh.
What do you suggest i do? I need people to talk to what should i do?
I live in Germany and i have married a woman and i have two kids but before marriage i didn’t explore my sexuality but i knew how feminine i was. In my culture it’s extremely obnoxious for a man to act feminine so i just hid myself as much as i could. Then got married and realised i don’t have much interest in sex and i could be a asexual person. Therapy suggested that it’s because of my choice in partner. But i kept pushing myself that Allah has better plans for me and kept going. I am at the stage of my life where my wife and me lives in separate rooms we do not engage in sex or other physical attraction. We are basically raising the kids together. I want her to explore her options and what she wants besides taking care of kids.
For me i am a complete woman from the inside. I have female friends who either think i am gay or a transwoman. I can’t do HRT because of my family background. I can’t seem to find a community of my own Muslim LGBTQ here. Idk if married people feel what i feel. I want my partner to be happy and explore what she can find in this vast world. If she can find love. For me if i could find peace that would be enough for me.
Is it only me or others feel that too that Odessy Original Score is really underwhelming?
I wish Nolan worked with Hans Zimmer on this project and it would be a completely unforgettable. I remember while watching the movie in 70mm cinema how everything was really nice expect no memorable score. And right now i am going through the entire album of the score and i can’t seem to relate to any of the music.
I have done Masters in Informatik (Computer Science) from a TU in Germany. And i am B2 German speaker, and has been working in the same company as a software developer since 9 years. I have a family and kids, and bought a house in rural Germany. I recently became a German citizen along with my family. All seems good on the paper right?
But i want to switch job for few years but each year it seems harder and harder and now with AI and layoffs around the world in IT jobs my hopes are even lower. another problem with switching jobs is the insecurity for 6 months where the company can terminate your contract without much reason. Another weird aspect is that i cannot switch my job to work for a startup or a small company because these companies can shutdown because of Economic and AI reasons and then our contracts are automatically cancelled. So i can only look for job with bigger companies which can withhold the economic pressure.
But unfortunately companies are not hiring. Even though i have a German passport and 9 years of experience it's very hard for me to find a new job with better salary. And since i bought a house i am now looking for jobs in my region. Which there are few to none. My German could be one reason as i am not very fluent and companies these days demand C1 or full fluency.
In this job which i have right now we do not have any project to work on so we are sitting idle and getting paid to do nothing for several years now, on and off i get some projects but after that nothing. I know it sounds magical that one gets paid without working. On top of that we do not have to go to office since Covid. So since last 6 years i have been working from home. No commute, no time and fuel wastage. But sitting idle for long time for software developers or in general has its mental toll. Even though this sounds ideal to many but for me it's not. I am quite unhappy in this job but this job pays my bills and my mortgage and i have to sit at home. And what i do is try to learn language which i have very little motivation for some reason.
With all this info and years living in Germany we are not integrated into this society. And no German language is not the only hurdle in integration. Other who speak good German are also no integrated. And since now we live and bought a house in rural area we get even more isolated because the culture is extremely hostile. So its not just the job but also the actual living conditions that makes me think to look for another country where we could at least be happy. But i am afraid of the coming of AI age where the world will be a very different place and idk if economies will survive the change this tech will bring.
Okay that's enough and i know it may sound like a rant in this economy because a lot of people cant find a job and i have a job but i am quite unhappy about it. Some of you would say shutup and keep working. But i just wanted to say are there more people like me who are working and feeling the tight economical and financial pressure and unable to switch a better paying job?
Update: Since many of you commented that learn the language it has been so long....
Not everyone has the same skill to learn the language. In my case i have stammer. Means i stutter when i speak. It shatters entire confidence. In English i have fairly large vocabulary so i can always switch the words while speaking which i believe will get me stuck or i will stutter. So in order for me to speak i have to think advance before choosing my words so i do not stutter and loose all my confidence in the process. This makes learning new language incredibly hard. In German i do not have such a large vocab that i can switch words where i stutter. Again this is not an excuse but just sharing this because not everyone has the straight path for learning a language.
I have Era 100SL as front and Era 300 as surround and Sub 3 and original Arc as a setup.
My question is how far apart the left and right speakers should be from the sound bar or total dista between them. Same goes for rare channel.
I am asking because i recently increased the distance between the front speakers and it sounds a bit better now. I am thinking of doing the same with rare but they are screwed to the wall so i am asking you guys here first before i drill more holes
Last week i bought Era 100SL as my front channel and this is how my setup looks. I did true play as a stereo pair for both 100s in the Sonos original app. After that i connected them via SonosSequencr App and now they are fine. But when i did the true play they were a bit close to the soundbar. And now i have pushed them away from soundbar and i also change the direction of my Sub.
My questions are:
1- Are the front speakers enough far apart from the soundbar or should i move them to the edge and bring the plant and the sub closer to soundbar? Meaning i can switch the 100s with the planter and Sub to reach the edge. Idk how much distance do we need from soundbar so that front speakers can have better sound quality.
2- Since i already move the speakers a bit to the edges in the photo and i changed the direction of Sub, should i redo the TruePlay? And if yes then do i need to reconnect all the speakers to the Sonos app and do the True play there and then use the TruePlay option in Sequencr app?
