In ear earbuds. I blimmin’ hate them but my Audio Technica over ears are too bulky for the gym.

Bit off topic, though if anyone could recommend cheap but decent wireless headphones, for the gym, that are not in ear I would appreciate it a lot (I’m in the UK).

Maybe you’re not noticing the difference between 720p to 1080p is due to the decoding used. The rips with a lower file size often get there by means of compression, and some uploaders (such as YIFY) heavily compress the videos to where I don’t even notice much of a difference, however I’m going to assume you’re not downloading the 3GB (average size for HQ) 1080p film.
Then again eyesight plays a role along with display.

I wouldn’t bother with 4K usually, however once I upgraded to a 1440 monitor downscaling from 4K actually provides a fair bump in overall sharpness and detail (some films more than others), however the file size is usually over 10GB per film.

I’m waiting for piracy. DRM hackers go brrrrrr

I am coincidentally also 35, and had similar sentiments following my most “recent” divorce (4 years ago!)

Your comment is bang on mate. The second to last paragraph really hits home but it’s something that I really needed to acknowledge and accept if I ever wanted to move on.

Went to a gig recently, was in a mosh pit for the first time in over a decade, and a fucking LOVED every bit of it, bruising and all.
You just gotta find your vibe, and it takes effort, but once you do others will see your vibe and want to jiggle with you (I’m not great at analogies hopefully this makes sense).

So this is what my phone is made out of. Well I’ll be.

Prince William Pears. They’re so sweet and juicy!! So juicy it always dribbles down my chin when I take a bite.

It looks rather snazzy! What’s the brand?

Is that a hygrometer on the right??

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one with this idea.

I remember when all of my friends would laugh at the iPod Nano, when it released as being super thin, due to all the people accidentally sitting on them or other easy ways in which they broke.

I would prefer it if manufacturers made phones with smaller screens, so I can actually use it with one hand without some janky workaround (like right/left handed modes on Google Keyboard).

It felt like they were trying to turn Futurama into an animated sitcom, rehashing other shows. The characters barely had the essence of the previous seasons, and advertising was really shoved down our throats.

Similar situation with punk. There are still Nazi Punks, but they’re asking for trouble at most gigs or areas with that sort of influence. From Dead Kennedys to Chumba Wamba, folks make it known these days they’re not welcome. Shame about the few bands here and there still spreading the rhetorics, yet barking dogs will always be heard in the distance…

There’s Lemmy chat now? How does that work?? Is it like IRC?

I like the idea of water in cans, this rivals one of own business ventures from a few years ago.

The issue I have with this is that this is clearly a profit based initiative, and I do not believe environmental benefits are really considered unless it adds to the profit.
Why do they not sell the cans at a reasonable price? Because it won’t make them a billion dollars if they did this.

I just have my doubts that this has anything to do with doing any good for the planet, it’s just expensive water that exists to fill pockets with money. Any benefit seems like a side effect.
