Mango, in If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be?

As an audiophile, Dr. Dre.

Alternatively Billie Eilish. She’s got malicious vibes.

Glimpythegoblin,

I like the malicious vibes.

As an audiophile, Dr. Dre.

Mango,

Beats by Dre are garbage.

@vardogor@mander.xyz avatar

Mango,

Yeah I don’t even know his music.

those shitty headphones might understandably lead you to believe he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but i still use tracks from 2001 to test out speakers sometimes. his production is top notch, no way he really uses his own brand when mastering 😂

Mango,

Yeah I heard he uses Audiotechnica.

kzhe,

Dre made headphones (beats) that were not good.

Word of advice for anyone entering a trade: get a laser pointer in your first kit, it’ll save you so much time

lseif,

and waste just as much

How?

drolex,

The cats are ruining my life

spacecowboy,

Because you’re too busy playing with the laser pointer to do your intended task!

Osprey Packs - Back packs.

Adulated_Aspersion,

Second this

Death_Equity,

I love mine.

zzzz, in What non-SMS non-Apple app can I use to "text" my younger kid on their iPad

I’ve been using Olvid for the past year or so. Works great!

apps.apple.com/us/app/olvid/id1414865219

KammicRelief,

nice, never heard of this, but looks good. I’ll definitely consider it. thanks!

zzzz,

If it is of interest, I actually decided to try Threema as a result of folks recommending it in this thread and like it a lot! Similar functionality to Olvid, but faster & more responsive.

KammicRelief,

Nice! ok thanks!

It’s not at all in the vein of work wear, but I have had Klipsch speakers all of my life and have never had any issues with any of them. My dad has some enormous old school Klipsch speakers from the 60s that are almost as tall as I am and are still crisp, clear and deep. I am rocking Klipsch throughout my house as well. They’re very expensive but I appreciate the clarity.

plz1,

I’ve had their 2.1 computer speaker set for nearly 20 years at this point. The only issue I’ve ever had was crackling when adjusting volume, and that was caused by dust inside the knob. WD-40 to fix. Love them.

skyspydude1,

FYI, Deoxit works a lot better than WD-40 and is designed to not eat plastics like some of the petroleum distillates in WD-40 can.

Usernameblankface, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world avatar

“Hey now, you’re a rockstar, get laaaiid!”

Oh, it’s actually get PAID.

Khrux,

I’ve always sang the first chorus as get paid and the second chorus as get laid without thinking about it.

Baggallini bags are virtually indestructible in my experience. I have a tote and a purse that I’ve used daily for 5 years, and they both look exactly like they did the day I bought them.

ArcaneSlime,

Shoulda called it Bagliacci.

panic,

The stitches came undone on some areas of my Baggallini after a few years of daily use and international travel. The design of the bag was so good and thoughtful that I just couldn’t bear to stick with the new purse I bought to replace it. I ended up repairing the old bag and going back to using it every day. I think it’s their Modern Everywhere bag.

themeatbridge, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Hold me closer, Tony Danza…

betterdeadthanreddit, (edited )

You didn’t mishear it, the name and commonly-accepted lyrics are a retroactive fix at Mr. Danza’s request and he asks that we respect his privacy.

cheese_greater,

This one wins lol

farcaster, in Anime fans, what are your favorite anime openings of all time?
Varyk,

Great answer

balderdash9,

I haven’t watched this show but the song sounds nostalgic already, if that makes sense.

farcaster, (edited )

Lain is a classic. Highly influential piece of pop culture. And even though its story is metaphorical it accurately predicted our incredibly online age, with its strange cultural and psychological problems.

const_void, in What are your best Sleep tips and hacks?

Ear plugs and Benadryl

cheese_greater,

That’s what she said

kingaloo, in Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

Drowning women to determine if they are witches.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It still works now.

100% of people drowned are absolutely not witches!

Everythingispenguins,

Are you sure? I don’t know if it has ever been definitely proven that witches float. We might have accidentally drowned a few witches.

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

If you had magic powers, would you let a bunch of dumbshit muggles who believe in witches drown you?

Patagonia for apparel and Red Wing for footwear.

Fermion,

Red Wing’s imported footware isn’t at all durable. They do still have some models made in Minnesota that are supposed to live up to their reputation.

uthredii,

Yep, Patagonia have a repair it for life guarantee.

HollandJim,

Was looking for this.

Always bought Patagonia, and they just repaired a 26-year-old ski vest for me, for free, as the inner lining was falling apart.

Blood letting. Have a fever, must be to much blood inside you.

AWittyUsername,

Blood letting actually does have medical basis, especially for people that suffer from hemochromatosis.

ComradePorkRoll,

I think they’re getting at the fact that medicine is not as insane anymore.

Atelopus-zeteki,
Pyr_Pressure, in How to stop eating junk food?

Stop buying it.

It’s a lot easier to stop yourself from eating a bag of chips while watching YouTube if it’s not just sitting there in your pantry and you have to go to the store to buy it.

You just have to resist the urge to get the junk food during your grocery trips, not every hour you’re at home and bored.

Atelopus-zeteki,

Exactly what I came here to say.
