*it did come with the box and charger so probably not stolen.

The box was next to the iPad when the guy broke into the house. :-)

I usually wear Outlier for their "jeans"... Any other brands have something really close to a standard 5 pocket with modern fits ?

@M3NTAL Ministry of Supply. Got two pairs, they feel great although the cuts are definitely on the slim side. Waist is very close to +1.5 for me. Also they come in black and a blue that you can't really tell isn't black. Would love it if they made a pair in gray denim.

@M3NTAL Triple Aught Design has normal denim and their cut is more relaxed (waist is true to me, a little on the long side). I also have a pair and it is super solid. Very different from MoS though, these seem like they're meant to be battered around and take on a patina. Depends on if you want to make them work with a blazer I guess.

Come to NL. Our Minister of Justice broke his own rules for his wedding. Our king (yes, NL is a monarchy) in the midst of a partial lockdown went on a holiday like a pampered coward. Do not get me started...

Don't give up on outdoor run once life returns to normality

broke a hand while jogging outside? like- punching mailboxes or ???

@jexby Tripped while running on a slight downhill and fractured two of the metacarpals. Wasn't too bad, fully healed in ~4 weeks. But now I'm a bit apprehensive about outdoor running especially since the better trail near me is on a hill.

On a different note - I haven't looked up the standards and I have almost 0 knowledge of the nuances of circuit design with vacuum tubes, but just based on general EE knowledge - I too am a little surprised that not having the 5th part of the 4.4mm balanced pin grounded would kill the device. Sure, it may offer a lower noise floor or slightly increased performance. Anyone else on SBAF happen to know the answer?

@fp627 Based on the conversations I've had here and elsewhere I am almost certain that there is no technical reason for needing the 5th pole especially for low voltage line outs such as those found on portable devices. If I were to hazard a guess it would be that Woo seriously skimped on the design of the WA11 and want to keep that a secret.

Years ago I had a conversation with Jack about the WA5's lack of protection so this wouldn't be entirely new to them. And they do blame the cable a lot only to be called out on it this time.

@Lyander The old Grado models are better than the new stuff. I also had the RS1 way back when it was kind of difficult to find DAP-friendly cans. A lot of it is also probably just availability and sentimental value. I have a similar soft spot for Ultrasone because that's what I started out with back in 08/09.

Haven't gotten ears on the e-generation RS series, but if they're more sensibly-tuned than the early buttonless RS1 I had (didn't know much about measurements around then) then damn.

Ultrasone................

@Lyander I like to compare it to being fond of the trashy foods of one's youth even though you've grown up and know better.

Yeah I'm in a similar situation as well. Working off the laptop hasn't been the worst when you can listen to speakers though.

Yeah, man. Haven’t been able to get home since January 20. Missing my setup.

That's a bummer. I'm in the opposite boat: marooned abroad on short notice. If anyone's curious, I took only an Apple IEM & Porta Pro (chatting & videos) & Rockets (music).

Leather is an unforgiving medium. Found and am finding out the hard way.

I've got worlds of respect for people who can develop good patinas on shoes or precious metals— did the same to my own shoes, plan to just let nature take its course with the next pair.

One of my FedEx guys was here yesterday, said that the Monday was his most insane day yet. Everyone's trucks were filled to the brim, long hours to get everything done. The following day lots of people called in sick since they overworked themselves. And then that also caused delays. Be nice to your delivery drivers.

@netforce @abisai2 Thanks for the suggestions. I know Audeze is pretty responsive about this stuff. Just a bit frustrated since I'm going to not have them for this upcoming trip which I paid for 2-day shipping for. Well, I'll still have the LCDi3 I guess.

My Schiit Mani Fedex delivery was also delayed. There's a silver lining, at least the economy is doing well.

@dubharmonic , did you try it with the curved earhooks? Also, if you are finding the stock tips on the large side, get some Spinfit CP155 eartips. Also try the rubber tube or heat shrink on the earhooks like the OP suggested. Link below:

@EagleWings yeah, the ear hooks, even the small ones, are too big for my ears. Thanks for the link!

I don't really care. I just thought violent drunk lady was a perfect time to use this meme.

I didn't know Karen rode Amtrak. :P

@rtaylor76 Last status had a Karen. With some luck, this one might just have a really bad drinking problem.

actually thinking about it, there's a 50/50 I tell them they could join me if they wanted.

@zerodeefex If they had asked like decent humans, that is a possibility. But telling someone to move so they could have the view? Nah, that's a definite hell no.

@OldDude04 Agreed. But they'd have to ask *real* nicely if I have a laptop out and headphones on.

I can't use anything unsupervised so I'll have to write up the rules myself. But if I have time I'm going to run this on itself for a couple hours to exhaustively search the first couple moves.

Just code it to only play the nastiest gambits as openings.

If you find you're a chronic gear cycler yes.

@ChaChaRealSmooth I almost never sell CIEMs because of how little they go for, the exception is when the factory offers reshells. But I can't help thinking that if I bought the universal I could always sell them to back out most of the cost. I really like the Titan and I like the idea of supporting Suyama's weird ideas but if I fall out of love with them they're pretty much a pair of expensive paperweights.

You want to pay as little depreciation as possible on audio. Buy second hand, never pay new RRP unless buying legendary stuff.

Generally they are very prompt. Connect with their customer service I'm sure they will help you out

@treboR @Ksaurav402 Thanks for the comments. I must have chatted or called them a dozen times. Every time they tell me to wait 2-3 more business days with no update afterwards. First time I've had customer service that's this bad from Amazon.

@Zhanming057 if you have tracking proof that the returned item was delivered, Amazon should process the refund within 14 days since delivery day. If they still lag, just chat with a representative online and tell them that it's already passed 14 days. Highly recommend talking online over the phone as well. It's faster and more efficient

I've learned that a sale is never done until I have money in the bank.

Hope you can put the kidney back.
