This shit needs to stop. As a Texan (by force…) I’d absolutely be joining the feds to fight against Texas.

Half the battle with headphones tends to be isolation. If you have decent sounding speakers but bad isolation you have mediocre at best headphones. Typically replacing the ear cups can be an option but adding speakers likely won’t yield additional quality. Unfortunately if the speakers that already are in the headphones aren’t up to snuff there won’t be a whole lot you can do. It’s important to make sure we’re talking about the actual headphones though and not the audio amplifier or the source audio.

I’m 20 miles south of Sherman TX and while I didn’t see nearly as much snow/ice as they did I did get a lovely stealth ice that coated my neighborhood. Temps got to 7-8°f I was prepared and we were comfortable. Until today I hadn’t heard of any busted pipes but my office and some other people have been flooded by them now lol.

People panic bought on the weekend which was fun to watch.

Windows 10/11 I prefer the dock at the bottom. Got that muscle memory

Mac os I prefer the dock to the left and auto hidden…I really don’t use it that often and find it a waste of space

Linux just depends on which desktop UI I’m using or if I’m using one. I actually don’t mind the ones that default to the top of the screen but most of what I do is either in terminal or a full screen application so I don’t much care.

I have the regular arkfeld and it’s been a solid ass flashlight. I mean it is always ready, takes a beating, shrugs off water (even underwater) worth every penny. I kinda want to get the one with a UV light instead of the laser I currently have.

Absolutely no traffic + taking toll roads: about 30 minutes.

Normal traffic + avoiding a toll road 50 minutes

Traffic: 1 hr to 1.5 or if it’s really bad you just won’t get home… seriously.

I like the time I have to listen to music or kinda rant to myself, I see a lot of interesting stuff.

I hate my commute, give me work from home I am a fucking IT dude who does everything remotely anyways.

I drive 20-25k miles a year in an ev that can “only” go 80 miles. My daily round trip is 66 miles. (I level 1 charge at work if you’re curious)

It’s wild how many of my coworkers will tell me “just buy a closer house lol” yeah sorry I can barely afford to rent where I live 3 counties away.

Leaving before 6:55-7 will save you as much as 20 minutes. Leaving after 7 people are generally going 5-10mph under the highway limit as I suspect many just woke up lol.

Once upon a time internet explorer dominated the web. The web bowed and catered to the jank that was internet explorer…at least until other browsers gained traction. To this day there are some websites that are only designed with internet explorer in mind.
