I forgot my Switch and 3DS chargers at a friends' house. Fuck.

Debating whether to buy a second Switch charger (improved convenience, needn't unhook the cradle thing every single time I need to charge my switch away from home) or drive back to my friend and get the stuff back (takes fucking forever, needs scheduling between two full blown tech idiots). I could also just continue to charge my Switch with my USB 2 -> USB C lead and my trusty Apple USB2 iPad charger. Takes a while, but it kinda sorta works. Although, no more TV switchery because it can't power the dock.

3DS? Huh. Right. Uh. I guess I should shut it down before it leeches it's battery empty.

Life is hard. Can't wait for New game+. I'm gonna own those toddlers with my supreme equipment and level advantage.

I'd go nuts having to unhook stuff from the dock every time like that. Made sure to buy another USB C cable and power brick before the Switch came out. I'd like to buy another dock, too, but fuck Nintendo's ridiculous price for extra docks. Will probably just end up buying another Nintendo AC power cable instead- you can't use offbrand USB C cables with the dock.

Went to bed pretty late last night. Was dozing off and my wife suddenly goes "I WANNA SIGN UP FOR THE GEORGIA TECH CODING BOOT CAMP!!!!!" and wakes up to go use her PC.

Woke up this morning and she asked me to close the open tabs on her PC when I walked by it. Noticed an email from someone at GA Tech where she asked them about it.

So glad you can't just sign up and pay right away and there's a submission process-- she never reads anything thoroughly or fully-understands it (ESOL and all that), so she thought this 24-week course was $500. Nope...it's fucking $10,000.

My wife also told me recently that her (borderline-psychotic) sister is pregnant again...apparently already due pretty soon. Her sister has continued to treat her parents like garbage and recently told them that they would never be allowed to see her kids.

Their father turned 70 two weeks ago and her sister made arrangements for the family to go eat at some nice restaurant. When they met up, she told her mother that she wasn't invited and the restaurant confirmed that they did not have an extra seat available. My mother-in-law started crying and that bitch acted like everything was normal. This was all that was relayed to me, so I have no idea if they just left or found a seat for her. Seriously pissed me off when I heard this. My wife told her mother how I felt when I heard about it and that actually made her happy.

Am still wondering how the husband gets treated- From the little interaction I have seen, it appears that she acts like a completely different person in front of him and his family, but I expect the mask to come off at some point.

I have the same headphones. I've had them for years. I originally used them with a high-end Cowon MP3 player before I understand what the fuck amps were for or why they were needed. The Cowon could drive them just fine but nothing I have now can so they just sit unused.

If you're looking for an amp/dac take a look at Schiit: http://www.schiit.com/home They have what's called a "Schiit Stack" which is their AMP/DAC for 200 bucks. From what I understand it's well received and can drive pretty much anything. I haven't pulled the trigger myself just yet but I want to down the line.

On another note, I went to optometrist recently. Lady was cute as hell. But when she strapped my head down to the machine and directed me where to look her morning breath made a home in my nostrils. Her head was a good six inches away from mine. I was all oh baby, what is you doing.

No. It was post-wipe, after I fully understood the consistency of the matter. I sprayed across the bathroom and then turned to the sink since I hadn’t eaten and knew it would all be fluid. Coffee and water in this case. I did throw up on my phone, which was on the edge of the sink.

Ok so I’m looking to buy some entry level headphones similar to these. Most of my current listening of any kind is on my home theater set up driven by a Denon X4300H. I was thinking that I’d like a headset I could hook up to this receiver occasionally so I can listen to music or watch movies and play games and my “normal” volume even late at night. Is it out of the question for this receiver to drive those headphones? I assume this is a stupid question but I know nothing about headphones.

Woke up, tried to make cone-filter coffee, paper cone collapsed, sending coffee grounds into the waiting cup. Then I forgot that happened, and got a mouthful of coarse, foul bean-gruel in my cakehole this morning.

The TV has decided its digital tuner is dead. It's a 10-year-old Sony, so I have to admit that I'm stunned it lasted this long. Every other Sony product has died gloriously the moment its warranty ran out. I always get the store's insurance, because Japan doesn't raise a fuss or dick customers around on them. They just politely return a newly working item. Ages ago, I maxed out my two VHS decks' insurance, as well as the coveted PSX (the PlayStation 2 with the built-in DVR and DVD-authoring). This TV was the first Sony that never required attention.

I'd say "RIP," but the truth is it's going to be the replacement for the 20" bedroom TV, just being driven by my lesser consoles.

Today, I ate 3000kcal worth of ice cream because it wouldn't fit in my freezer anymore after I had stashed all my purchases for the week (and I was too lazy to do another Tetris session to sort something more useful out for thawing).

I regret nothing.

Well, no. I do regret everything. A bit. Urp.

On topic: simultaneous projectile vomit & diarrhoea is the perfect combo of misery. I have experienced it twice so far in my life, and I certainly am in no rush to add a third time. Pooping, then barfing in sequence is easy mode. Disgusting as fuck, but vastly preferrably to the alternative. Still, my condolences for the suffering and mess, TVC.

Also, my ears are too shit to distinguish 50€ and 300€ cans. Those amps are nice, but mostly because of the better volume control. Audio troglodyte life.

I kept getting vague responses when I tried googling last night where it wasn't really addressed on a technical level and kind of brushed aside - but I couldn't tell whether it was because it was silly to think it could or silly to think it couldn't... I guess I know which.

Any recommendations on an all around pair? I started thinking i would be nice to have something that I could take with me on long flights to drown out noise, and also something I could hook up to my home receiver to get the Atmos and hi fi music experience even while my wife is asleep.

It kind of seems like there isn't. I understand to play off my phone I'll probably need a portable amp and that's okay with me. But it seems like open back is the best for a good soundstage at home while sound leak would kill it for a flight.

Yeah, If you're looking for a general movie/gaming pair of cans mup, the 598 are great. I owned a pair for like 10 years and they're still the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever owned. You'll forget about them on your head. They're open though so expect sound leak but you should be fine (don't watch porn in your living room). I was actually gonna recommend these lol. If you wanna flex some more cash you can go up to the HD-600s as well:

For planes, I've got a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2. These are great for drowning out repetitive environment noise, like planes or trains, but they're also a bit warm. When I wear them at home when I have to work undisturbed, I can get kinda sweaty ears. :-/

On top of that, I've got another half-dozen earphones, because I can't seem to not buy them. I've just found my pair of Etymotic ear isolation earbuds, that were frequently preferable for traveling, have finally succumbed to cable-rot. :'(

Headphones are cool, i like owning multiple at a time. I hope to continue a deep dive into gear lust once I became a rich artists.

Yeah it looks like I’m going to have multiple pairs. I went and tried some out tonight. I love the Sennheiser headphones for their soundstage and quality (tried 559, 579 and 600s) but the open back design leaked way too much to use on a flight at volumes I enjoy. They didn’t have any Sennheiser wireless models but I haven’t liked what I’ve read about their wireless offerings anyhow.

I think it’ll be a pair of Bose QC35’s for flying and 600’s or 650’s for the home. I’m going to be doing A LOT of long flights this year so I’ll do the Bose first unless someone has a better recommendation for that purpose. I’ll pick up the Sennheiser after I can find somewhere to do an in person comparison of the 600s and 650s.

I heard Sony's latest cans are slightly better at noise cancellation than the QC35s but the QC35 is still probably the gold standard in that price range.

I can fully recommend the QC35s. I wore them for about 12 hours on my way to China.

Yeah, my QC35 IIs are amazing at toning out the screeching of the T. Really good battery life too (IMO.)

Only thing I dislike is some aspects of the design. I really wish it was easier to wear them around my neck when not listening to music.

It feels like a sea urchin crawled down my throat and took a shit.

I would have expected you to post that in the triumph thread tbh.

so my high performing unit (three people strong) was merged into a big unit with a lot of other smaller teams.
Those teams don't function nearly as well, and after the employee survey the big team got shit scores on aggregate.

So now i have two years worth of team building exercises ahead of me. And i fucking hate team building shit. It always ends up with me standing in the rain on a Thursday night with two hours of public transport to look forward to. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Sho Nuff is repeatedly bringing up the ST:TNG episode where Beverly Crusher fucks a ghost and it's making me doubt the validity of the series.
