Got into higher end headphones. Speed ran my way from a pc38x, then a 6xx drop reservation, then to a 560s since it’d take too long, followed by a 660s, then lastly a used 800s. I wanted a nice new pair for the final winner, so I bought a second fresh 800s. I think I got a solid 10 minutes with these.

Edit: Resurrected! Does anyone know what gauge those exposed wires are? My calipers say I need 30 gauge wire for a complete fix since tiny silicone sleeve came off one.

Bonus: I understand warranty or return but I’d just like to make it clear it’s really not that serious. You remove the pads, unscrew two screws, pop out the magic sound maker, and tap tap with the soldering iron. Now that know what I’m looking at I could probably fix this in a minute since I cheat with an electric screwdriver. The worst part was waiting for my iron to heat up and that takes a whole 20s. There was no real chance anything bad would happen… to the headphones. I could’ve burned myself.

Overall a great confidence boost in my diy abilities like unscrewing screws… or holding a wire with tweezers. Thank you all. Imma gonna go make a microwave more powerful or something now.

My father was a city worker and worked near wall street before 9-11. After they built tower 4 the city had some kinda deal to lease a bunch of space to help fund it so his group (city auditors) were some of the first to move into it.

The old office building is now 180 Water iirc and cost like 5k a month lol.

Yea it was a bad situation for everyone but they needed max hands on the floor. My wife told me at one point 3 patients coded at the same time. Each time a person codes that involves like a dozen people trying to revive them. Iirc protocol is CPR for like 20-30 minutes and it’s labor intensive so people swap off.

Haven’t heard of the spanish doctor. That sounds hilarious. I wonder if people had symptoms after the vaccine because mine sure did hit different.

Oh okay yea that’s fair. Elective surgeries were all canceled for a while at a lot of hospitals. Mostly the ICUs and ERs with all the vent patients were the ones that were nutty. It was less surgeon and more anyone that works with vents like respiratory therapist or the nurses that are there 24/7 with the patient.

Since he wasn’t really practicing regular medicine I wouldn’t be surprised if they were hurting business wise during peak pandemic. The worst part is I’m sure they were getting paid by insurance for the vaccines.

I mean I think anyone who can give a shot was qualified. My wife’s an ICU RN and did optional OT to work at the vaccine clinic.

Honestly I thought plastic surgery was one of the hardest paths of doctor to enter so I’m sure they’re more than qualified. People are just money hungry but it’s no surprise. Wife got offers to take the vaccine too. Wife’s own amazing sister tried to convince her to fake it for her friends in her reserve unit or whatever for like 1k a person. I mean I get it that’d be some very fast money but yea wifes smarter than that and would be jeopardizing not only her career as an RN but I’m sure any chances of getting a DEA license as an NP in the future.

It’s crazy because if I’m not mistaken there is a totally separate court and police system for taxis. There is an actual app you can download to report things (with a picture) and surprisingly they work pretty fast and keep you up to date.

I’ve used it a bit as a cyclist but also to report them blocking emergency service ramps. They might call you to act as a witness via the phone but honestly no one I’ve reported ever really went to court. Kinda nutty considering it comes out to like a $500 fine for them blocking lanes illegally.

A similar system should be put in place with NYPD since they’ve got a much larger force than the taxi branch. I mean if they don’t want to do the leg work I’m sure there’s tons of regular citizens that can start it off like this lawyer.

Wow I didn’t even know touch typing was a thing. Thought people just knew minus old people poking keyboards. To be fair I do vaguely remember my middle school computer science class consisted of typing games so guess I was on the right track.
