First, you’re going to have to define what poor sound means to you. Modding your closed back headphones to add more speakers isn’t going to make them sound better, but probably worse.

The best way to get better sound is to replace your headphones with better headphones, or to use a better source when playing music. Even better headphones aren’t going to improve the quality of music if you’re playing lossy Mp3s.

Sharpiemarker ,

The point is, we don’t know what kind of headphones or what kind of source OP is using.

Sharpiemarker ,

Sorry friend. I know that feeling. I wish there was a better solution to your headphone dilemma.

Sharpiemarker ,

Pretty sure that’s the appeal. It’s a ragebait-circlejerk.

Assuming it’s just a typo because the legit one is 1337x.to

Someone just pasted the same URL twice instead of the incorrect and correct urls.

Just a heads up, the NLRB has taken an aggressive stance against companies that refuse to allow their employees to unionize.

So when a company has a positive response to unionization, just keep in mind that they don’t really have any other option but to “grin and bear it” so to speak.

Sharpiemarker ,
  1. The new framework put forth by the NLRB only went into effect in late 2023 (November/December).
  2. It requires a majority of employees to want to form a union.
  3. The NLRB intends to force Starbucks to reopen the 23 stores they closed. This news is from last month, so it’s still pretty recent.

I agree that when the penalty is a fine, it’s just the cost of doing business, but it appears that the NLRB are attempting to go another route.

Sharpiemarker ,

Yep. Mutually Assured Destruction.

Some countries will use the threat of nuclear war to get what they want. But what they want often involves still being alive afterwards. Putin, like the rest of the leaders of countries with nuclear arms, knows that a nuclear strike demands a nuclear response. There is no other option and unfortunately the whole world suffers as a result.

I have this meme saved on my phone because it’s both timeless and so often appropriate.

If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

Imagine the following scenario: On the 9th of January 2024 in the morning we wake up to news that President of the USA Joe Biden suffered a stroke and died in White House. The administration confirms that the death was entirely natural and no third party contributed to it. Even before the news reach all TV stations another one...

Neither have been elected yet. The Democrat and Republican parties would both nominate new candidates for president and then people would vote on them.

If you’re talking about after they’ve been elected then the vice president takes over as president, followed by the speaker of the house if the vice president is incapacitated.

Sharpiemarker ,

You have a fair point there.

Since in OPs hypothetical they specified the Jan 9 date and that Biden had been elected, I misspoke.

Sharpiemarker ,

Thank you for the correction!

Sharpiemarker ,

Cheers!

Maybe because a lot of Americans don’t have healthcare and the vaccine is no longer free?

Sharpiemarker ,

The COVID vaccine was commercialized now, so they can charge for it. I don’t know when that takes effect or if there are other ways to get it free, like through a voucher or manufacturers coupon. I hope hospital networks and similar are just eating the cost and giving them out.

Sharpiemarker ,

That’s a great story! What a cool experience

This is a classic get-paid-to-fuck-hot-women-in your-area scam.

What a crazy specific use case!

The right flintlock is specifically for lighting the lantern and the left for shooting. I wonder if they scavenged parts from a dual barrel flintlock.

The extra pictures are helpful to understand how it works; I was a little confused myself because it didn’t look anything like a lantern.

United finds loose bolts on plug doors during 737 Max 9 inspections (theaircurrent.com)

United Airlines has found loose bolts and other parts on 737 Max 9 plug doors as it inspects its fleet of Boeing jets following the Friday rapid depressurization aboard an Alaska Airlines jet of the same make, according to three people familiar with the findings....

Sharpiemarker ,

How far through the setup did you get? Why do you think it’s not working?

Sharpiemarker ,

Ah, that could very well be the case.

Sharpiemarker ,

I knew I recognized Nicolas Cage from Saturday Night Fever!

Sharpiemarker ,

Untyped as in written? Or is this programming term I’m not familiar with?

Sharpiemarker ,

If you see Elon Musk please explain this to him.

I’m an idiot, and I still don’t think I could dumb it down to his level.

18+ Can we have a conversation about indie authors and "smut"?

When did written pornography become the norm for indie authors? I remember when Amazon was first taking off for indie authors and, yes, there was a lot of smut, a lot of Christian romance, but also a ton of cyberpunk, crime, and even some literary fiction. Now, every time I see an indie author on Threads or X, they exclusively...

It’s pretty gross, isn’t it?

I’ve always enjoyed a bit of YA fiction/sci-fi and now it’s all weird kink stuff.

Sharpiemarker ,

I don’t know of any car currently where you fill the gas tank from the engine bay.

Sharpiemarker ,

Good catch!

does anyone know of a way to find obscure YA novels you only vaguely remember

I’ve had this reoccurring thing every year or so where I remember this book I read in like 5th - 6th grade that was really fucking good every year or so. I need to find it, I try every time but no amount of Googling thin recollections of its plot has got me anywhere.

Sharpiemarker ,

Names? Places? Dates? Genres? Themes? You’ve got to give us more than “it was really fucking good.”

Sharpiemarker ,

It’s also another example of the way in which cats are liquid.

Sharpiemarker ,

Eww what a gross mentality and a terrible human being. Don’t be in a committed relationship then.

Sharpiemarker ,

I thought they were supposed to be shit jokes, not bad takes?

Sharpiemarker ,

Well mostly because it perpetuates shitty ideas about what it means to be a man and ideas that incels latch onto about what’s important in a relationship. It also isn’t really funny or ironic or an attempt at anything besides women-hate. 0/10 👎

Sharpiemarker ,

Whoops, the mask slipped and we all saw the bot behind it.

Sharpiemarker ,

And? Doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for humans to exhibit these same behaviors. So I’m not sure what your point is.
