You are welcome.

You're calling him a snowflake for being upset that young children are dead? Are you feeling ok?
Somebody posted a sobering fact about what occurred in Hawaii. It wasn't necessary to attack me for posting a hard truth of my own....

On that note....

Lol my guy I was being sincere. It ruined my day to learn most of the dead were kids but was also important to learn it
I understand. Was being my sardonic and cynical self. I honestly try not to internalize unpleasant truths and use them mostly to add perspective to my own life. I don't mean to offend sensitivities in a callous way but realize everybody has a different approach to stuff like that. Doesn't mean that shit doesn't bother me too...
 
My friends

Our outdoor hockey rink needs major, contractor-required repairs and this shit isn't cheap. It's the only rink in our area and we have operated a youth and adult league since the early 2000s! The players and community have chipped in a few grand but it really isn't close to enough for a real resurfacing (not just a resealing) and replacement of the original circa 1980s rotting wooden boards/structures.

If anyone would want to make a world of tangible difference for some fellow, regular person hockey players, it would be so appreciated!

Oh nice, another local. My daughter and I go swimming at the pool right there. Let me look at the bank account and see what I can do.

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent to good set of over-ear headphones for a remote office setting? Looking for the following: sound cancelling (my desk is next to my very loud HVAC unit), ideally wireless but wired is ok, $300 range but flexible, will be used for music and Teams calls, comfortable for extended wear.

Tagging @JojoTheWhale since your wife (and maybe you?) are audiophiles.

I'm a basic bitch on her scale, but I follow enough to know what to buy her for presents and grab myself the budget options when I need them. Two questions.

What genres of music do you listen to most? Do you have any idea what kind of sound signature you prefer? Do you love bass? Prefer to hear crystal clear vocals, etc.?

My genres are very fluid and I honestly have no clue about sound signatures. I'm likely as basic bitch on your scale as you are to hers. Definitely not a huge bass fan though unless we're talking the various fish of the same name...

I've been very happy with these.


The price there is not what can get anywhere else. The XM5s exist but don't provide additional benefit for the cost.

This is big as these were the only ones on my radar at this point.
