Good ol' KOSS.
Are they a respectable brand in Europe or something? Here they are like the bargain bin Walmart type brand.

Curious as a couple other posters have said good things about them in this thread recently too

The warranty is for life! Also they do make some good (sound) quality headphones even if they are somewhat shoddily put together. Very cheap as well.

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't describe $40-50 headphones as "bargain bin" simply by virtue of the existence of $10 and probably lower phones.

A heartwarming story...starting with white (woman) on black (highjacker) violence. Forgiveness and a new van at the end.

Also, reading stories about Airbnb renters finding out their homes are trashed. Duuuhhhhh
Smiling at the thought that people will start to think about common sense limits on monetizing anything. If only we could do this at the top end, too...

LOL, speaking of which: Pistol manufacturer Glock on the wrong side of individual rights debate. TEH IRONING. Well, maybe not - some of the Euro manufacturers tend to be weird about these issues.

Risked a lot of money on a broken PCB (which arrived with more faults than advertised...)

I'll post what it is later but I'm smiling because I fixed it!

My stance on the mechanic has always been "eh who the fuck cares", but people's tears just enhanced the flavor tenfold.

Finding out there's a Japanese version of Renegade. I had no idea, I just assumed the Japanese rom was the same game.

Wandering around the front garden trying to work out what to tidy first, noticed 2 baby Hollyhock plants in the corner. Buried some seeds there from our existing one at the end of the driveway, last autumn. I created plants!
