Genuinely looking for new headphones?

Wired or wireless?

I kind of love headphones.

Fort Collins, Colorado for me

Can't speak for the US as a whole but everywhere I've lived Domino's is the cheapest. I can get a medium 2 topping pizza at dominoes for $6.99. We have 3 family run traditional pizza places within driving distance of where I live, for a 2 topping medium pizza they cost: $14.75, $15.99, or $18.99.

I have a bit over 60 YouTubers I'm subscribed to on YouTube. Am I supposed to pay $60+ every month to have access to them? The cheapest patreon I've ever seen was for $1 and that wasn't even for full access just a "buy me coffee, thanks" tier.

What about discoverability, how am I supposed to randomly stumble across niche content creators that don't have a huge following?

Not saying it isn't possible I just can't seem to wrap my head around how it would work.

I keep seeing people throw this idea out there but I have yet to have received a reasonable answer to a simple question: How would content creators get paid on a federated video platform?

Music. I can play close to a dozen instruments with enough skill that I could sit in as a stand in player for a large variety of genres. I do everything in my power to avoid letting people around me know.

I make music as a way to meditate and relax. I can throw down a synthesizer drone and spend an hour+ noodling on the piano, guitar, cello etc without doing any recording or writing down stuff. I've got probably 100 or so short 4-12 bar ideas saved on my computer. I probably will never do anything with them but I like going back and rediscovering where I was musically/emotionally.

The dubstep phase was, in a word, terrible.

I love when people like the guy you responded to show up, it's so easy to block them on Lemmy.

Great ingenuity but if falling into the inventor trap of "I've figured out one part of the equation and am neglecting the rest of it"

The inventor says "Some additional off-the-shelf systems – brake and steering boosters, as well as e-heating and air conditioning – would also be added under the hood." While also stating all the original components are remaining untouched.

Does he have any idea how cramped the majority of modern engine bays are? I used to work on saburbans, bucks, chevys, and ford's where you could literally stand in the engine bays. Modern cars though? Good luck having enough space to even get your tool let alone your hand where it needs to go.

Also "Off the shelf" systems?

Heaters are a nightmare. Resistive heaters, while being the most common, cheapest and easiest to access, use obscene amounts of energy and would put a huge drain on the tiny batteries he is proposing being used. PTC heaters are a possibility but Heat pumps would be ideal. Heat pumps take up space and are best designed into a car from scratch.

E-brake boosters are definitely a thing but are not a one size fits all and ABSOLUTELY require the removal of the existing system.

Finally the AC... The best electric units I've seen are retrofit kits for classic cars. Once again those require significant removal of existing infrastructure in order to be installed. More of an issue though.... they cost 2-4 thousand dollars! That's certainly going to eat into the project 4-5 thousand dollar estimated installation cost.

Side note: These are effectively motorized wheel spacers and I have seen a ridiculous amount of damage to vehicles from wheel spacers that are just simple chunks of metal.

Innovation is always encouraged of course and hopefully his work leads to something applicable. As it stands right now it's a bit of a pipe dream.

I'll believe it when I see it. Still won't buy one... but I'll believe it.

I may or may not subscribe to this ideology.

It's not like EVERY character in my Baldur's Gate team has either fireball or scroll of fireball. Shadow heart doesn't... yet.

Occasionally on the regional level.

The one chance we made it to a national level we got the worst seed I have ever seen and the first three teams that we played would go on to be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams in the national tournament.

We got destroyed.

If I was in the market for a new companion the use of Tik-Tok would be a HARD pass for me.
