Just watched the Blon video, meh they are not competitive nor good sounding with that price tag. They are probably just putting something on the market for which they don’t give a fuck and someone will buy it, but selling drivers is their main income. That reminded me what happened to the TRN Whale Shark IEM with 3DD and planar was if I remember correct. Price was around 100$ if I am correct @hawaiibadboy
On the topic of Artemis and the future, this seems quite good and interesting
While I agree with majority of the points in the review I would not call than garbage or totally bad. Do I prefer og bl03 yes can I enjoy some of my library on those absolutely
Fit for me is much better than og. Cable while ghetto I actually really like it 4.4 does no bother me since all my sources have both but I got the point
I do prefer it on fiio q15 over my dx260
For the price I would pick 7hz divine any day as bass light neutral set
But this is not rational hobby so I am fine with spending 80 bucks to try something different
Well, as the world appears to be going to hell in a handcart, my day seems to be hitching a lift.
Therefore, I am open to suggestions for a replacement bluetooth DAC/AMP. Is the Muse M5 or M6 any good? I may bite the bullet and and buy a replacement M4 from Japan (The wife has said I can). I have a HiBy R4 DAP, but if I am out and about I like to run my phone to a bluetooth dac/amp to answer phone calls. If I’m listening to the R4 its not an option. Lastly, I do not like dongles.
Well, back from the great outdoors! I love working the land like that. The birds are funny. I have these big Robins that follow me around just to see what I am up to. Of course, they also like to eat the worms I scare up as I work the land. And I have some Northern Mockingbirds that always lurk, every time I scare up some insects or make a pass on the mower, they dive in and scoop them up! I love the interplay with nature. It’s good for the soul.
Front half is done, I’ll do the back half tomorrow so I am ready for the weather that is coming in on Thursday. Time to pour a glass, relax and play some music.
Pelosi getting head kicked.
Made my day 
Damn, those would be awesome. Sadly, we don’t get anything like that over here.
Is she courting the prison vote in case her husband wants to run in the future (for president)?
Maybe. A guy was in here going on about Trump and disqualifying felons from voting which the commenter was implying was not fair
The voting rights of convicted felons isn’t a hill anyone should die on…or even climb up
Gavin and his wife are constantly pandering in a very ham fisted way Like telling a black gathering that he was just like them. Low SAT score 
Bruh
was just re-reading this, what kind of prisoners again? the ones convicted with actual proof and intent to kill, or was she talking to people still pleading not guilty and was framed or something?
She was saying she killed her sister by accident and a lot of people did stuff like that by accident like her.
She’s as fucked up as her husband
There is nobody that is fairly normal trying to be President and it’s kind of wild.
That’s… Fucked UP.
Back to can’t defend Ye no more camp. 
some of it is funny tho, WLM, i don’t remember the meaning about it now, there was some context to it. MAGA praise, he was gonna be tump’s side/vp, even ran for elections once. GF did fentanyl, there were some stories about that. idk about others tho, last point is true.
The U.K. banned him from playing in their country. They also are investigating and arrested a former Royal Family member (Epstein)
In the US he sold out SoFi 2x and nobody is being prosecuted
The UK has a lot of problems
The USA clearly has lots more problems
The UK is right to deny him entry. Over here, they probably won’t do that because ‘freedom of speech’ or some other excuse.
Zwift update.
Credit where credit’s due. I emailed Zwift yesterday, they replied in a couple of hours. Asked me to explain the problen and send a couple of photos of the broken connector. Almost immediately they replied again, and are sending me a replacement free of charge.
Out on my road bike in the real world for the first time this year. At least its sunny.
I love good service posts. Glad it turned out better than expected 
The US is actually pretty unique in the world in terms of the disenfranchisement of voters convicted of felonies, although it varies from state to state - I’m not sure if I’m the one you were referring to but I think I did share this before which details the different rules each state has about who can vote if they’re a felon and when or if they ever get their votes back. I personally think that anyone who has served their time should be able to get their right to vote back but a lot of people in the US don’t.
Note that normally Donald Trump wouldn’t be able to vote anymore, but Florida’s particular laws state that if your conviction is out of state, they defer to that state’s laws - and in 2021 New York passed a law to allow felons to vote as long as they aren’t incarcerated during the election. Otherwise he would have been disenfranchised too.
But it really is unusual - most other countries don’t disenfranchise you unless it’s an extraordinary circumstance (I.e. if your conviction was specifically related to election fraud, etc). A lot even let you vote while still in prison.
From Human Rights Watch:
“The United States may have the world’s most restrictive criminal disenfranchisement laws. We know of no other democracy besides the United States in which convicted offenders who have served theirsentences are nonetheless disenfranchised for life. A few countries restrict the vote for a short period after conclusion of the prison term: Finland and New Zealand, for example, restrict the vote for several years after completion of sentence, but only in the case of persons convicted of buying or selling votes or of corrupt practices. Some countries condition disenfranchisement of prisoners on the seriousness of the crime or the length of their sentence. Others, e.g., Germany and France, permit disenfranchisement only when it is imposed by a court order.
Many countries permit persons in prison to vote. According to research by Penal Reform International,60 prisoners may vote in countries as diverse as the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Sweden and Zimbabwe. In Germany, the law obliges prison authorities to encourage prisoners to assert their voting rights and to facilitate voting procedures. The only prisoners who may not vote are those convicted of electoral crimes or crimes (e.g., treason) that undermine the “democratic order,” and whose court-imposed sentence expressly includes disenfranchisement“
Also found this interesting. Japan just has a court case about disenfranchising a paroled felon:
In its decision, the Takamatsu District Court said restrictions on voting might be possible if an individual was found guilty of violating election laws, but added that the large majority of convicts committed crimes unrelated to elections.
The Takamatsu election administration commission argued in court that the plaintiff could not be expected to cast a ballot fairly because he had once damaged the legal order.
But the district court described that argument as being nothing but a symbolic impression lacking any specific basis.
Article 11 of the Public Offices Election Law states that individuals who have received finalized sentences that were not suspended and were serving time could neither vote nor run for office.
But the district court said that provision violated Article 15 of the Constitution, which guarantees universal suffrage as well as Article 44, which prohibits discrimination on who can vote.
At a news conference in Tokyo on March 31, Yagihashi said, “It was an extremely proper ruling that will serve as a first step in eliminating groundless bias.”
His lawyer, Kyoko Yoshida, said, “(The ruling said) prisoners are also sovereign members who should be allowed to cast a ballot in elections. The ruling holds the possibility of correcting prejudice against convicts.”
In a 2005 Supreme Court ruling, voting restrictions were only allowed in exceptional cases in which a fair election could not be ensured.
Subsequent court rulings determined various voting restrictions as unconstitutional, such as the voting system for Japanese nationals living abroad and against adults who rely on a guardian.
