Reply to comment by BingaBenga in Focal Bathys Soft vs Silent ANC setting -> differences by BingaBenga
There is a difference, but it's subtle. Take them to a coffee shop and then switch back and forth. You should notice voices and some background noise gets a bit quieter in Silent mode.

Sorry I meant the metal of the headband. I hung my LCD-X on a similar stand and believe there was no stretching because the leather wasn't supporting the weight when the headphones are able to fully close, like shown here.

When they hang fully closed like this, doesn't the leather strap sit flush against the metal?

The home theater/hifi section is much improved, though. Great place to kill some time while the wife is at TJ Maxx.

If you buy the alternator at an O'Reilly or Auto Zone and try to change it out in the parking lot, they'll let you borrow tools and give you pointers, assuming they aren't too busy. They can pull up all the instructions and schematics at the counter.

If only the town knew what a hidden gem they have here, a true scholar of racism and race relations. I suppose the actual people doing real work in this field don't matter to you. After all, this conversation is just an attempt for you to try and insert your will on what you think about the terminology, not to learn something or contribute anything of value. All while completely distracting from the important points. Score one for anti-racism.
You'd certainly find any number of bigots here who would share your opinion. That alone should give you pause.
Good luck to you on your journey, I'm done trying to help you.

Keep on trying to argue the merits of "black on white racism", or perhaps you prefer the phrase "reverse racism". Ask a black person working on diversity, equity, and inclusion in this town and see what they say about it.
You claim to vote all Democrat, but I've literally had this same conversation with staunch Fox News and Qanon conservatives. The difference is they weren't pretending to care, they were obvious about it.

You should also look up the definition of confirmation bias.

You want to bait me and others into an argument that Black people can be racist. Why? Because you have received or seen some vitriol from Black people? Do you think retaliation by Black people against a culture partly created from Black slavery is racism?
Racial bias and racism are not the same. You're looking for a false equivalency, there it is.

It's a metaphor for how to address a large scale problem on a large scale. No one is saying individuals can't act with individualized racially motivated actions. I told you the point behind the shift in focus, which is what most people who are doing the work believe IS properly addressing the problem. So your opinion on terminology isn't really up to speed yet.
No one here is disagreeing with you on the fact that there are overly extreme messages like the "evils of whites" narrative, but you're conflating that with good progress because you don't want to shift your understanding.

Maybe, but it's also not the point. The point is by focusing on large systems those interactions become less and less frequent due to large scale true integration and equity.
It's like how huge systemic changes in several industries are the only thing that will mitigate the risks of global warming crises. One guy's smelly pickup is not the problem. His pickup is just a consequence of the system that produced it.

Systemic racism is based on who controls the systems that are built to intentionally or unintentionally repress an ethnic group. That doesn't mean only whites are racist. It just happens to be our reality.

Not necessarily. True or not, her reputation is shredded. She can either leave and take her life into her own hands or she can be strung along in a lengthy process stacked against her.
Also, what makes you assume this was personal against the remote employee?

Sounded like they forced her to resign. The alternative is usually worse in these situations.

She said she didn't give away any of her Adderall.
That being said, if she was giving it away to coworkers with ADHD who couldn't get any due to the shortage, then that's damn decent of her in my opinion. Law and policy of course are a different matter.

Everyone's arguing about distortion and repairability, but the reason I could not buy the Max is that horrible compression. Ergonomically excellent, but sounds like a tin can (demo unit paired with an iPad at Best Buy).

I've bought from JB Farms in person a few times. It's real easy, just call ahead and he'll come meet you at the office at a specified time. They're real nice, and they let you look through the various cuts, marbling, etc. And the meat is fantastic.

They're trying to activate people to look into it by visiting their propaganda website and joining their group. I don't think "normal" people would engage with this, not even your average local conservative person who may harbor some bias. But I do think this is dangerous because it is more likely to activate the person who is already looking for a way to feel accepted for these types of fringe views. I think those people can become dangerous with the right grooming by these groups. (Notice I said "grooming" because this is actually a situation where it fits.)
