Been to a pub, there was a basketball game playing, last quarter, home team manages to even the score, and the game is in the money times.
logically, the DJ would notice this shit, and be ready with fitting music, and keep the "we are the champions" track if the team wins.
instead, the shitty DJ plays ABBA (YMCA!), the Fame song and "it's raining men", and gives the whole game a seriously gay vibe.
really, how hard can fitting music to the atmosphere be?

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
My Koss SB45 headphones broke.. again. I've fixed them, but i'm seriously thinking on saving for Sennheiser PC 350 headphones..
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
You get what you pay for. Koss is one of the crappiest manufacturers of crap in the world. I think it's a Korean company.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Koss is American. Same as Grado and Bose.
I perfer German headphones myself.
edit. My Sennheiser HD 497's come with a replaceable cord (two jacks go into the phones). I've had to buy a new one once before when my roommate ran over the cord with a chair a half-dozen times by accident.
From what I can tell about you, I doubt it was an accident.
I've had Shure E3c's that failed due to moisture and E3g's that failed for some reason I don't remember, at which point I swore off buying Shure products, even though they are one of the top audio reproduction companies.
I then got a pair of Ultimate Ear super-fi 5 pro ear buds. The solder connecting the left cable to the bud failed after 1.3 years.
I now use a cheap pair of Sony headphones. The sound quality is terrible compared to the Shures and UEs.

What sort of price difference between the Sony and the Ultimate Ear are we talking about?Originally Posted by Animeniax
I've been very pleased with this pair of Sennheiser earbuds that costed me 80AUD or so.
By comparison, my 40AUD Plantronics headset is pretty bad, but it's comfy, came with a microphone, and didn't cost me a kidney. The 60AUD Sennheiser headset I returned before that game me earaches/headaches.
I'd probably prefer my earbuds over my logitech speakers too, except the speakers' bass actually shakes you up, which is good for movies/explosions.

Cute.
They were plugged into the tv in our cramped dorm room, he was working, and moving to the refrigerator periodically. It was an accident, I left the cord on the floor instead of coiling it up. He was too busy trying to get a project done last minute to even notice what was going on around him.
---------------------------------
I've got two pairs of Sennheiser PX-100s as well. One for work, one for trips. Haven't let me down yet.
The UEs were $180 (eBay deal for headphones that typically cost $200+). The Sonys were $30.
I don't like using earphones except when others are around. At home, I can't stand using headphones. It feels so confining.

I'm using headphones all the time - except sometimes when others are around and they would also want to hear something. It surely greatly depends on the quality and comfort of the headphones, though, whether you can continuously use them. I visited a few stores before getting MB Quart ones, years ago. It was a German company back then. These days it's a part of some dubious sounding American one, and who knows what has happened to them under such a rule. I have replaced the cord a couple of times. The original cord was remarkably good and lasted for great many years but the first replacement I made suffered from bad cable quality, so I visited another electronics shop and got cable from a different manufacturer.
Quality headphones are good, no way around it.
It's too warm here in the warmer parts of the year, like late spring/summer/early autumn to be using headphones constantly, especially super aural headphones. That applies for both open and closed versions.
That's the main reason I prefer earbuds - provided you've got good quality ones. The lightness and free air is great.

Sigh, so I had jury duty today from 8:45 am to 4:30 pm.
First they called up a good amount of people and I wasn't called so I waited around till 12:30 and they let us go on our lunch break.Come back at 1:30, get called up at 2:30. Then proceeded to get explained about the details of a case. There ends up being 24 or so people that might have a bias, or a problem with the case itself, and that questioning with the judge takes about close to an hour and a half. Around 4 they call the remainders that didn't have any excuses, bias or problems regarding the case back in. They call my name up with about 16 or 17 others and I sit up on the panel and they told me to come back at 9:30 am tomorrow. Whereas the rest of the remaining people that were not called up to the panel were told to come back at 10:30 am.
Uh, so does that mean I just got chosen to be a juror? I honestly have no idea, and didn't ask I just got the hell out of there cause I was sick of sitting all day.
Probably not by the sound of it, it just means you're still part of the pre-screened pool of jurors. They want to talk to you and the other 16-17 and see if you are viable jurors. If they boot too many of you out, they'll need more of the others who were not called up to the panel. So they go through your group first, and use more if they need it. I don't know (and you can't tell us) what type of case it is, so it might be a 6 or a 12 member jury with 4 alternates. They probably figure they'll get what they need from the pre-screened pool that you're in, but they certainly won't need the non pre-screened group for at least an hour.
You'd know if you were a jury member or an alternate, since the others would not have had to come back at all.
Yeah, sounds about right.
It would make sense for them to interview us first I guess instead of having everyone come in early. Got unlucky on the draw.
there's a funny Becker episode about this.
don't come with a book, or an opinion.

I got into an argument yesterday with some guy that swears up and down that Masashi Kishimoto is a woman. He would not believe me when I told him the opposite. It got really heated.
You try having your childhood fantasies of a woman crushed by your friends telling you she's a man and see how you feel.

Did this happen to you? I mean, we all have been fooled at one point or another?
Yes, traps are everywhere. Some good, some bad.
Peace.
What would constitute a good trap?
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
Well, good traps can be divided broadly into two types:
This one (aka reverse trap):
and this one:
Peace.
