I've seen it a lot, mostly by road trains on the Nullarbor, and we would wait for them to stop indicating. It's just a brief signal, one or two flashes and then you're safe to check if it's safe.
Blåhaj Lemmy has no downvotes and it's been surprisingly amazing for my mental health.
We need to stop making plastic, putting the onus on waste management is the plastics industry equivalent of carbon capture.
I won't go into detail because it's personal and a bit gross, but adding on layers doesn't always work for me due to a disability. I just become even more uncomfortable, and my extremities are still in pain...
You sure can, there's a fundraiser to help pay legal costs and fines. I fully intend to pay mine on my own, so hopefully this goes towards those who are facing larger fines and need the help.
And now reading this I realise I've miscalculated the size of my maximum fine lol (I'll still gladly cover it all on my own).
Fluid mechanics guys are nuts, I can't believe people can write the mathematical equations that govern stuff like this, it's easily the most impressive and understated area of physics imo.
That's pretty fair. I'm not expecting the cable to literally last forever but the longer it lasts then the less waste I can produce. Recycling is awesome but I honestly don't have much faith in it, so trying to reduce what I send there too.
I'm considering getting into making my own cables tbh, maybe I'll be able to work out how to make them durable as hell and share the designs with people who struggle with this too. That said I know IEM cables tend to be pretty heavily shielded and that seems like more trouble than its worth, but who knows.
Im considering making an Armband or just adding a pocket to my pants that sits in a better spot, kinda like a thigh band I guess.
I've used wireless buds for the past ~4 years and I've had to rma so many of them that I've given up, I've rma'd my last pair and gave them to a friend. I'm also not keen on the environmental impact, so really trying to avoid them if possible.
Great to know, thanks! Chu II definitely have a removable cable from the images I've seen.
I have bone conduction for riding when needed, not every situation requires them.
It's not a non-issue because I don't want the cables to become a consumable, I want a tough cable I can rely on for as long as physically possible. My main interest in BIFL is to reduce my waste tbh.
A friend of mine mentioned a song that contained a "mouth sproing" so I sent them this lol
A call to action is exactly what I was going for, that and trying to get our little media tag lines pushed out to some obscure place on the internet I like to hang in.
I've been keeping an eye on sony buds recently, my stores only have 3.5mm ones which I could go with. My only problem using the 3.5s in the past has been that my USB DAC broke instead, usually for exactly the same reason the earbud cable normally breaks 😑
Probably another note about safety, just heard that someone several people I was up there with had their paddles stolen by cops, were pushed out into the channel and left to drift. They had to paddle by hand to get to safety...
Oh yeah, fair point! I did used to use the angled ones when I was in highschool.
My desktop cans have a nice chunky 1/4" plug and it's fantastic.
The most durable Bluetooth "earbuds" I've had so far are my bone conduction ones, but they're not great quality and don't offer any isolation. 10/10 for background music when hanging with people though.
Request: BIFL USB-C Earbuds/DSP IEMs
I basically listen to music constantly, and when I'm on holiday or riding my bike I generally use USB-C earbuds. I've had way too many wireless buds break and I'm sick of them, but these aren't fairing much better tbh.
Problem is that the cables always eventually stop working, often from my phone being in my pocket while I'm walking or cycling. I've been able to partly extend their life by keeping my phone in the thigh pocket on my cargo pants but it often just falls over and bends the cable more sharply than my hip pocket.
I'm looking for either a pair of highly durable earbuds either USB-C or 3.5mm with a USB-C DAC recommendation, or even better a DSP cable that I could use with IEMs with a 0.78mm connector.
I'm also open to any other suggestions at all.
Arrested for disobeying rule
Yep, I got arrested trying to block a coal ship in the world's largest coal port and I'm proud as fuck, give all your love to the protest organisers. I've talked about it a ton over in this thread (and a few others in similar communities). I was joined by a handful of other people, including a student doctor who is in this photo but hard to see, she's on my right in the shade. She's so damn brave and a huge inspiration.
This took place at the People's Blockade, an annual "protestival" organised by a group called Rising Tide.
I'm the (misgendered 😡) 27 year old in this article.
170 people then set a new record for the largest civil disobedience action in Australian history the following day, they're all incredibly brave people who have had enough.
We fought the government in court and won the right to protest against the fossil fuel corporations who are burning our children's futures. We also fight to secure the future jobs of the workers in these industries, demanding a 78% tax on current fossil fuel projects to help them in the transition to a renewable future.
It's been a long few days, I've just arrived home about half an hour ago. Goodnight.
Mandorule
Bought a mandolin today and I can't put it down, I can't wait to write tons of pretty songs :3
