Taking tube glow to a whole new level, all you need now is tubes with mercury vapor to round out the package.

Honestly not sure how I'm gonna get 90V DC. Cheapest I see doing a quick search is $220. And no guarantee the thing works anyway - sold as 'untested'.

Also pretty spooky that the day before it arrived, I watched the first 2 episodes of 'Meltdown - 3 Mile Island' on Netflix. You see the yellow plastic version of mine dozens of times.

With the winter we’re having, riding outside is pretty rare, so it’s usually 3x/week in the basement on the trainer. Most of my headphones are open back, too much trainer & fan noise comes through. Didn’t really like the Classics, too bassy for me. But I tried them this week, and damn if they don’t sound great on the trainer. Not sure why, but I’ll take it. Music is all that gets me through longer sessions.

How do you exercise with full size headphones? Sounds like a sweaty mess and like they'd get annoying as hell.

I don't do much interval work anymore, the basement is just below 60, and I have a beast of a fan.

Now need to shower to get rid of fine dirt in hair & clothes. Worth it.

@fraggler any ramen recommendations in Chicago?

I very much get sushi and sushimi. Or rather, wish, these days, I did!

Ashamed to say that despite my time in Japanese restaurants being quite substantial, I never tried ramen.

@ergopower Sounds like the ramen nazi

I think we've all been confused as to HFMs "strategy" with regards to versioning for the last ten years... I don't have any idea what the difference between a $400 and $4000 HP is in their lineup, and I'm too afraid to ask at this point.

i.e. they had a bunch of HE4XX cups, the bog standard headbands, and the magnet arrays tweaked from the HD5XX, and whatever screws and bolts and other things lying around (that amount to "incorporating several all-new components") and figured they could pass them off as something new. Or just recycling parts from warranty returns?

Pretty sure its the 400se with different earpads and headband, for 30 dollars less. Probably a good deal, but would need some testing to see if corners were cut.

It'd be interesting to hear @CEE TEE 's take on this

Keyboards? Is that seriously a big market? People are weird.

Man the level of whining over there about this is OOC.

The Dave Grohl documentary about the studio Sound City is worth a watch (they used a Neve console)

Not sure if your multiple posts was performance art to prove the article title did indeed break your brain, but I thought it humorous either way.

Hah, yeah, not a master of Profile Posts, clearly. Didn't realize you can't delete a post, only edit it

He's getting nostalgic about a time when even his parents didn't live in.

Milk Duds will also do a nice job at removing crowns and other semi-permanently attached dental appliances.

Licorice is known as an "active" substance in herbal medicine. It's good for coughs and stuff. It's there in a few over-the-counter cough mixtures: whether as an active ingredient or just a flavour, I don't know. Personal note: I detest licorice/anise-family flavours.

Gonna go back to jelly beans, Smarties & similar for my sweet tooth

amazing deal. i think just to go from 55 to 65 will be worth it

Went for a run this morning. Toward the end, getting tired, I walked a short but steep-ish hill. A guy working in his garage saw me and asked if I wanted a bottle of water. Busted dude, no human would do that.
