The Off Topic

Unfortunately, at the moment I can only listen to my beloved music with this high-end device in the hospital,

:rofl: :joy:

but in a few weeks, if everything heals well,

I may at least be able to enjoy my music with in-ears.

Free reverse email search/lookup?

Does anyone know of a good, truly free (as in no trial, no cost - free for occasional use) service where I can enter an email and get a name?

It seems that most go to Spokeo, BeenVerified, or Peoplefinder, all of which say “free” but really want a sign-up.

I occasionally suspect an email is incorrect or a bogus email has been supplied to me. Any comments would be appreciated.

I was expecting a USPS delivery of a second cable set from Rosson today. Looked at the tracking number and had a new one - Apparently delivery had been attempted at 2 PM this afternoon.

Delivery Exception. Animal Interference

Never saw that before. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and the only animals at home were upstairs in the fish tank. There is a fat, lazy neighbor’s cat that occasionally sleeps on one of the porch chairs - and runs away when someone comes by. That’s about it. A few neighborhood dogs, never running around - in fenced yards or walking on leashes.

Once in a while we smell a skunk - but it’s certainly not moved in our our property. Of all the possibilities, I’d guess the skunk might be one, but I came home an hour or so later and there hasn’t been a whiff.

Now THAT’S different, a new “delivery exception” to me. You sure it wasn’t a bear? :wink:
I guess that’s no joke depending on where you live.

What cable did you get?

Bear would have been a thought had it been the house in State College, PA, but all the bears in Lancaster are Amish.

Just a balanced 4.4mm cable. Stock Rosson. There ought to be different connector tips. 3.5 mm to 2.5mm to Senn…

That’s called a Hart cable

Anybody? PM me if you have an answer. Thanks.

I’ve been quiet on the forum and some of you know this, most don’t. I’m taking my first official vacation since @andrew and I started Headphones.com where I don’t need to work through it. My wife has never been to Europe and my friend was gettimg married in Ireland so we decided to make a trip of it. Currently on our last night in Rome. Once I have stable Wi-Fi I’ll upload some pictures!

Are you going somewhere cool? I suppose I mean that using both definitions of the word ‘cool’, but I was thinking about how hot it already is where you live.

Just heading to the beach house for a couple of weeks to disconnect. It is a few degrees cooler down there, especially at night, but is still in the high 30’s (around 100°F) during the day.

I posted this in relation to a conversation in the what’s in the box thread, but thought some of us olds might find this amusing. It’s a few weeks old now, but just funny how far in the future things seemed when we were young. Now they’re here or shortly arriving

Where is that town with the colorful buildings and picturesque harbor? It looks amazing. Is it Portofino?
