I think there’s room to grow that number

Yes, exactly.

Reading inspired takes on Reddit such as “buy replacement pads”. While I recognize that this probably the right solution for the situation…

Throwing away pads because of bad coating is also a problem yeah? What about just not using coating that peels off after a year that lead to filling landfills?

No. I’m appalled at the idea that I would have to replace working hardware just because of the coating on the pads.

Incidentally I’d be very interested to hear your tips and tricks to remove the PU and fix this nonsense.

I don’t want to throw away working hardware especially not because of this :/

It is gaining traction at the moment, for sure ^^

I have chocolate bits sticking on my palms now. I wish I could lick them, at least.

I would very much like for a return to sustainable and durable coating materials on headphones. Seriously what are we doing here.

Solaris (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - YouTube

Pretty sure nobody ever ever ever clicks on music links actually, but here have a phenomenal soundtrack link nonetheless.

Those categories are basically used to lump masses of people into faceless groups that apparently all share the same characteristics like automatons.

It’s ridiculous in and of itself, but more importantly it’s now absolutely used to scapegoat and rage bait.

Stop feeding the bs.

People have absolutely lost the plot on generations.

First - those categories were built for marketing targeting purposes & aren’t based on anything serious.

But today I both saw someone call older millennials grandparents, and a serious newspaper refer to a 58 year old man as Gen Z.

Get a grip.

Why thank you. Lots of sacrifices

I was thinking earlier that I should perhaps build a little food experiments subblog.

What happens is when your first language is French you automatically get the super power of using normal words that sounds extra fancy in other languages 👌

New adventures in creamy carbonara:

Ssamjang + chili crisp
And ofc the usual butter, egg, garlic powder, pecorino romano, furikake.

Those that like buldak could be disappointed in the lack of sweetness and nuclear heat, but to each their own.

I used to think that way, then I moved to Sweden.

We just went through multiple months with cumulated single digit hours of sunlight due to cloud cover and at this point I’m welcoming irradiation.

I don’t want to make anyone in Sweden freak out but there’s actual sunlight beaming into my living room right now.

You can make really good art without having to make it “professional looking”. Polish is a trap you get stuck in especially when you have nothing to say.

I can't poker face today. Please save me from further conversations where I should keep a straight face.

imo breaking builds requires panache to balance out the anxiety of the situation 👌
