I mean ripped jeans back in the 90s are like the shit, most of the well known Grunge bands have ripped pants like that. Though I wish your pants have been torn in a stylish way and not the most embarrassing area of it getting torn.

Would cost me almost $200 in tax duties if I wanna buy the Thieaudio Clairvoyance… :nauseated_face: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I asked Linsoul to claim my Monarchs at $99. We’ll see if they do that, as they haven’t shipped yet. But they said they would.

Oh they’re not the problem. They’ll gladly declare whatever you want, but Croatian customs routinely checks the item title and Googles the actual price. No fooling them

I am safe along with my family but we had to suffer together of having a power outage for a single day yesterday until we finally got our power back again. It sucks to see the aftermath though, after the typhoon ransacked our country, and it is a pain to see the others from the other places suffered the most destruction and some lives are lost during this week. An another one is coming soon and for now, it’s outside of the country, all I can say is that, it has been a pain in the ass and all we could do is to prepare for it again.

So glad to hear you and yours are ok. Nature’s fury sure sucks some times.

Yep, but that is just the way it is for we are not doing nature any favor when it comes to the treatment that we have been doing to her for many centuries. So, in some way, we deserve this nature’s wrath as punishment.

Today my Porta Pro’s right driver stopped working… then suddenly did again as if nothing happened. Several hours later it happened again. That time, I got it working again after fiddling around with the wire connection to the driver.

Man, I wish I didn’t love them as much as I do. Such shit build that inspires 0 confidence but… ugh Koss sound. I even bought the 95x 2 days ago, and I’m starting to have anxiety I may become one of the unlucky ones with squealing out of the box.

thank god for that lifetime warranty

For sure, but I didn’t expect to encounter my first troubles one month after purchase. It’s not like I toss them willy nilly, in fact, I baby them more than my other headphones because of how sketchy the wires look lol.

I’ll learn to solder one day, then I hopefully won’t have to worry about crappy wires again.

Not really a rant more like a day where the big brother needs to help his little brother again in regards to school related shit, and I feel sorry for them that they have to go through online classes, for there are too many modules for them to do and I find it easier to just go to school and do the designated seatworks that are assigned to them.

Overall though, I did helped but I did gave them a pep talk about you should be learning how to do it yourself alone, for I cannot be always be there for you to help you, and by asking my help all the time, you will never learn. Love them still, for that is just the way of being the eldest brother of the group.

Am I the only one that gets a little pissed off about this? Oh, let me just lower the main price to make it look more attractive, only to fill in there rest in shipping, and possibly then some.

Lol he’s trying to avoid ebay’s fees. If you report it Ebay will probably take the listing down.
Edit.
Actually I think ebay will still take a percent cut of shipping. So the seller is just being obnoxious

It’s also overpriced as well. I’ve seen the non-2020 version go for way less than $900. I’m sure you also appreciate the stock photo, lol

House buying. In our latest attempt we offered 30k over an already inflated asking price and we are told we were bearly short of the highest bid. My fear is closing the markets again due to covid and prices spiking again. That would officially put a house out of reach and make it feel like the past 10 years of busting my butt working overnights, weekends, and overtime was a waste.

Ordered a 2pin to 2.5mm IEM cable and a USB adapter for a DAC. Amazon gave me something else… F

Am I the only one that hates the 3-5 second “pre-roll montages” that studios put in front of trailers? God I ‘effing despise those.

A trailer is a preview. Why do we need a 3-5 second preview of a preview? Especially when the full preview itself (the trailer) literally immediately follows the montage and is only a minute or two in length? Even if you dismiss the preview-of-a-preview factor, what does that leave the montage as being? Spoilers. Something that’s almost universally disliked.
