Basically out of the audio game for now. I like my speakers (haven't used my headphones in months) and spend my extra money on my Mercedes Sep 4, 2022

    Your best bet for that is probably finding a local shop that can make equal-length headers for you.

    How about something like a Klipsch Cornwall clone? Crites speakers.com sells some kits that you could look at to get some ideas.

    Was going down a decent sized hill, the trail turned but another trail went straight that I decided to go on, but I didn't see a fat bike trailed crossed it, making a big bump, so I fell and must have landed wrong somehow on my hand. The way the poles are strapped to hand could have made it worse

  Got a new vacuum. The amount of dust it pulled up from my "clean" carpet was concerning. And the color change. Now it's clean!

    We just upgraded a 10+ year old Dyson to a Shark vacuum and noticed the same thing. So much so we noticed it started to pull up some of the rug fibers itself! We have to use the hardwood setting on the rug to avoid any damage now. :)

    One of the first ones I put up on the new OLED last year. Nobody would put all that effort into doing in-camera effects anymore.

    Yeah something about the real camera effects is much better than cgi. Plus the giant rotating sets.

    @YMO if you’re ballsy change the thermal paste with some liquid metal or some other good paste. Either way stock paste is crap and probably dried out being the cause of your problems.
