The Off Topic

I love me some audiobooks! I used to read 2-3 books every couple weeks, but just don’t seem to have the time anymore…Audiobooks have been a lifesaver in that regard…but even still… it has been a month since I listened to one…maybe time to remedy that =)

I had to luck up “FOMO” as well.

I find that I miss out on my current experiences when I focus on others, real or fantasized. Kind of like a “live in the now” thing.

And if you’re having thoughts and feelings thrown at you at the speed of light, then take a deep breath and allow yourself to experience them.

You’ll be fine, and you’ll be living life at a faster rate than most of us.

My two cents. :blush:

I suggest a 2mg Melatonin 2 hours before bed, along with 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and an nightcap of 3 ounces beverage of your choice mixed with 3/4 oz NyQuil. Then pound your head with a a 2lb (1.5kg) rubber mallet until sleep comes.

Or you could read some mid-level Econ textbooks.

Well, it is rather warm today. In the sun at 2pm the thermometer was showing 39ºC (102ºF).

So I guess IEM season begins…

This is exactly why I’m saving for a better IEM! I also need the isolation for when we turn on the AC.

When you clean the closet out and go… what was I thinking to hold on this so long

It is going to get the sledgehammer treatment

I guess it is better than still having 42 MB Miniscribe HD I had 10 MHz IBM AT clone

But then I had few more 16 to 17 year drives that need to be wiped.

I did this recently, I ended up wiping and taking apart around 30 HDs.

I still have the 30 actual discs from inside them though, they will probably end up staying in storage for another 10 years :smiley:

New headphones can hamper sleep? No wonder I’ve had insomnia for years :confounded:

Aren’t you the least bit curious to check what’s on it first?

I check what is on the drive first, then format them. Might turn a few of them into cold storage drives 750 GB and 1 TB drives Since I have USB-adaptor for all them but the old IBM ATA drive.

Ding! That must be why I have so many phones (most are kept away from sight) and only one decent-if-oldish DAC, the V1 that sits in my face on my desk. But on the other hand, its green lighting soothes me. Dilemma :thinking:

Happy cake day @pwjazz!
