Do it. I would've just used 'DT' but I think there's a 4 character minimum[?] I refer to my family by their initials (JB, etc.), and people - like almost everyone - have been calling me DT for like 35 years (hahaha, my fave BIL kind of goes phonetic and calls me DEETS :D)
Another guy, real popular dude depending on who you ask, also has his initials as D.T. and also lives in Florida from time to time.
 
Man I just had a good friend do a hart attack, he was a former drug user and it ended his life at the tender age of 48! It hurts me in strange way reminding myself to help other people!
Sorry for the loss of your friend ... 48 is much too young.
 
A YouTube person I like made a budget headphone showdown video and ended by reccomending a pair that sounded great for the price. Now I'm resisting the urge to break down and buy them; I don't want to ruin my ears for ****** earphones by getting them used to decent audio.

Yeah, next thing you'll start looking at DACs and wanting higher quality files that can actually take advantage of them. :p

Currently on my mind both figuratively and literally: the McCollough effect. The horizontal bars below shimmer green to me and the vertical shimmer red:

We've probably all done that thing where you look at something for so long that looking away at a neutral color causes you to see an afterimage. That would be an example of retinal adaptation, and it usually goes away shortly.

The McCollough effect differs in that it is interocular, meaning you can look at the induction stimuli with one eye and then see the effect with the other. So it isn't retinal; it occurs in higher regions of the brain.

It also differs in that it can last up to three months if induced correctly. :oops:

I won't bother posting the induction stimuli, but it's fascinating to read about.
 
My son had his last day of his first (albeit short) week at kindergarten yesterday. It seems like only last week my MIL was "abusing" me (in a mixture of Thai and broken English) "30 and still no baby" and now here we are.
 
If you own a movie on VHS, does this gives you the right to watch on DVD, Bluray, and 4K?
Same thing for a book, if you buy a printed book, do you the the right for the digital one?
 
I’m no chef but worked with a knife for five years in a packing plant. I roll my eyes at the shots of Ramsey steeling his knife. My money is on him never having steeled a knife in life except for the opening clip of his shows.
I think it’s one of the first basic skills a chef learns when they buy their knife sets at college. Ramsey was trained in my hometown too.

At times the horizontal lines don’t appear quite as black as the verticle lines to me. :)

As a book publisher, I will kindly tell you that no, buying the print version does not necessarily entitle you to a free copy of the digital version. They are two separate products, and often formatted by two different divisions within the company.

Sorry for your loss. Good to help others but it should also serve as a reminder to enjoy every day yourself. Be kind to others AND be kind to yourself.

I was halfway planning the week before I realized about the existence of Wednesday. Now I am faced with the choice between either re-doing the plan or starting a movement for the abolition of Wednesday’s. I am tempted by the latter.

Just listened to it again this morning. The album really takes you to interesting places, especially with headphones and no outside distractions.
It certainly does, and to me every album is that way with Tool. As you point out, this is especially true when using headphones or IEM's so that one can get the best experience from the music.

The other day when I posted that I had my Fiio IEM's in playing from my Pioneer DAP while tending to some domestic cleaning duties. Listening to music while doing chores always makes it easier for me.

Nobody wanted ARM computers before Apple announced the switch. Now everyone boast how ARM is much better, powerful, efficient, and cheaper than x86.

Is Apple about to ignite and industry wide revolution in CPUs? Are we about to experience the technological jumps we saw in the 90s? Are we going to see computers used non-traditionaly like in pens, bathrooms, bicycles, shoes? Are we on the verge of the new computer renaissance ?
