Hahaha, same, even last week I received a Sennheiser HD480 Pro because I was feeling strange playing pitch shifted guitar with an open set (you can hear both regular and pitch shifted at the same time and it sounds bad), and earlier this year I got Hifiman Edition XV because it was the first planar with a tuning close to the HD600 which I love. That said, when I got the HD600 I stopped buying headphones for 5 years, so I think this will be another 5+ years without purchases now… I hope
I am becoming more conscious with consumerism, especially in relation to climate change, but headphones are pretty small on their pollution scale(< 10kg co2 per set, compared to 60-100kg for 1kg of beef), so I don’t feel too bad
Niagra Falls almost certainly falls from west to east, or I fail geography. So, why do photos almost always show them falling from right to left? Are most photos taken from the Canadian side?
Do you have a favorite switch? Or at least a general type?
These heavy linear thock switches are the only ones I’ve ever used and as I said, they’re quite good. Shame they started to creak… the noise is not too bad, but I definitely want to try silents at some point, like these (nvm I can’t seem to share a link)
I bought a switch tester thing with 16 different low profile switches. I liked the brown ones best: tactile, but not clicky. And they do feel better than my new silent browns, too, but the silence has obvious benefits beyond their feel.
I have tried keyboards with clicky (blue) and linear (red) switches, but they don’t feel right to me. So browns are my jam, I suppose. Various other tactile switches weren’t too far off, though, and I could easily get used to them as well. The bananas, IIRC, were nice, too.
Light tactiles, with the tactile event early in the downstroke. I am lucky enough not to mind a slightly less crisp bottom-out (or top-out) so I can live with silent switches just fine. Hence the Outemu Silent Yellow Jades (got those from AEX, but you can typically get them from wherever).
I like the feel (and sound, although I wouldn’t want to inflict it on coworkers!) of Outemu Red Pandas, but they’re really too heavy. For the to-be-designed-and-handwired board, I have a pack of MMD Princess (tactile, ofc). I really should make work of that design, it’s just that photography kinda got in the way…
There was some old explanation on the internet, many years ago. To put it simply, it said that in real life a coyote is much faster than a roadrunner. I cannot vouch for this, but I believe it to be true.
I remember sitting in my car when on a trip to West Texas, on a fast food joint parking lot. I had just finished lunch, it being the only place to eat in this small town on the Interstate highway. I was ready to leave when a lone roadrunner casually walked across the lot, checking out each car in turn. No worries, apparently just his (her?) daily routine…
Imagine that glimmer effect, must be delicious. Now you no longer need to put vaseline on your lenses, just touch your sensor multiple times till you get the desired effect
I recently went out into the city and noticed a peculiar softness in my photos. As it turned out, I had just inadvertently touched my lens just after applying sunscreen. The soft glow was kind of pretty, though…
