Personally, I will stick to separates but does this particularly appeal to anyone on here?

Hey in case you haven't got anything yet, I'll throw in my few cents.

Mic wise, I would get a dedicated microphone. When buying a headset usually the money goes into the headphones and the mic is just an add-on. I have a mic that requires an actual audio interface to run but I'd get something like a blue yeti or a Audio Technica AT2020 (USB). If you want something clip on I'd look at the mod-mic, maybe a little pricey though.

Headphones wise, I can only really talk about what I use for gaming which is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s. They are closed back but are really nice all the same. A friend has a pair of DT990s which are open back so that may be more your thing.

Hope that helps.

Signal, Firefox, ReadEra (best EBook reader for Android hands down)

Honourable mentions to OLauncher. Super clean UI that makes my phone less distracting and easy to use

No. There's an adult/s that use their kid to make millions of dollars.

Over the years, I have developed a collection of songs that I use to test systems. From transient response to songs I just know well, here's a handful of them:

Around the World - Daft Punk

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

You Got Me - The Roots

September - Earth, Wind and Fire

Dragonball Durag - Thundercat

A Villain's Monologue - Blood Command

Bangarang - Skrillex

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (Self titled)

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Any songs I need to add to my collection? What do you use?

Only using labels and mirrors to talk to people.

Them: Hello

Me: Hello

Them: Is the report done for that thing I asked your yesterday?

Me: Thing you asked yesterday?

Them: Yeah, I cant remember what it was now

Me: You can't remember?

Them: Yeah, I'll go remind myself and get back to you

Brilliant productive conversation :)

I'm in the market for my first real pair of headphones for just listening to music. I've had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s for mixing, but now I want something to step my game up.

I've been looking at the Focal Clear MGs and I'm even curious of some Grados.

What do you have?

Interesting question. Personally, I started with a text editor transitioned to vim, then to VSCode and now I've settled on a customised neovim install.

I'm a believer of PDE, that is personal development environment. It's a concept one of the Devs of Neovim TJDeVries talks about.

In essence it's the idea of building your development environment how you want it. Personally, Neovim allows me to do this. For example, I have a VSCode style debugger, incredibly fast searching with ripgrep, vim keyboard shortcuts and uses the same language servers as jetbrains products.

I just went to a lecture where the lecturer was explaining a way to measure the response of a accoustic guitar with an exciter on the bridge and a method called the exponential sine sweep method.

He was suggesting that you could measure and then replicate a guitars response onto another guitar and using this you could make far more accurate replicas. This could be used to preserve the sounds of old famous guitars.

My question to this community is would consider buying a guitar based on a graph of its frequency response and how that compared to other guitars? Is this valuable research?

I'll start: Dwarf Fortress. Not found anything close.

That is haunting but awesome

I read that as "anything involving eating out of a shoe". Good alternative to a bowl.

I had just finished blasting a 06:15 gym class and was absolutely exhausted. For some reason, I thought its a good idea to mention it's my birthday this week and immediately my PT stops and he has a certain look on his face. My PT is a lovely guy, but he's up for a bit of banter. He asks me if I've ever heard of Birthday Burpees. I say no, and he asks if I'm down for a challenge.

I'm writing this 50 Burpees later (rounded and doubled for my age because "he likes round numbers), lying on the floor struggling to type because of the sweat.

God I'm unfit :)

TL;DR Don't say yes to birthday burpees
