  1. The news is important, however being repeatedly exposed to negative stories is not healthy for our minds. A lot of what is in the news is hearsay or exaggerated, and I'd rather not go that pessimistic route again. Better to get information from independent outlets or articles that discuss science. They tell it how it is, not what we want to hear or are afraid of hearing. Our survival is not guaranteed, but that does not mean we should not make the best of the here and now.
  2. Was thinking how amusing a Courage the Cowardly Dog and My Little Pony crossover would be, and what kind of punishment Eustace would get from Chrysalis if they met. I just know if a crossover like that happened, Eustace would say something ridiculous which would attract trouble toward him and Muriel.
  3. Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Reed Flutes - The Nutcracker Suite Yeah, the same song that was in the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode Dome of Doom!
  4. Hi Pentium100, how are you doing this evening over in Lithuania? I don't know if you remember that public discussion we had about audio gear a while back, but I've just been listening to classical music in DSD format, and the low volume recordings did indeed make it beneficial to use a balanced headphone cable. You're right, there are cases where the amp needs to work a little harder than what people may assume from on paper specs alone, and a higher voltage is necessary. Glad we had that talk. Anyhow, I wish you good fortune in the years ahead. 

  5. Settled down for the night, after having a warm bath. The usual, I found some great music to listen to online as well.
  6. Glad I got the balanced cable for my Sennheiser hd560s headphones. Without it, the volume on the classical albums I purchased online would not be high enough. Native DSD are a good music provider too. Definitely relaxing to listen to Venus - Bringer of Peace from the album The Planets.
  7. I get distracted a lot as well, and it is never about any malice toward anyone else here. If I am not frequently responding to somebody else on here, it is because I am busy, not because I don't like them. Opinions about certain things may differ but they had their reasons. I have to work on my interactions with people still, but over time I've learned to be more helpful. Something that has helped me think this through, is how would I respond to Ponies in Equestria if I conversed with them? I'd have to be mindful about that too, because disrespecting another Ponies boundaries would not reflect well on my character, or anyone's for that matter, even Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle had to learn that there are certain behaviors that are not acceptable. The same applies to real life. and if I am to honor everything MLP FIM represents, I need to learn from my mistakes as well.
  8. Two gentle souls coming together, good things happen of course. Fluttershy is a great caregiver for animals, another adopting pet under her care would be endearing for her.
  9. Looking at portable music players, one which I am considering getting on Christmas, the Fiio M21 has more features than the Hiby R3 II, UI is more stable and has android OS 13.
  10. Anyone else ever had a leg cramp before? it hurts.
  11. Ollama is heavily censored as well, is there any AI problem I can use that isn't?
  12. Checking to make sure my Nintendo Switch was on charge, it is. When it is done I'll be playing Pokemon Let's Go Eevee again.
  13. Aww, Eevee is so cute. If I had the choice about it in Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, I would not make it battle, I'd keep it as a pet instead.
  14. I cannot speak on your behalf about that, it's none of my business to be honest and everyone's experiences are different. I'm the opposite here, although I have had arguments, I do wish I was more soft spoken, which is why Fluttershy from MLP FIM is my idol, one reason why, because I do not want to come off as some hyper aggressive jerk to people, even when I am feeling down about something which has nothing to do with them. I've considered yoga to bring my stress levels down, that sort of thing. Losing patience and raising my voice is a problem with me from time to time, even if I am not directing it at other people, they feel the negativity if I start doing it in the room next to them, it could be anything, from accidentally injuring myself or an electronic device acting up. I want to be more at peace, because then my interactions with people can be better.
  15. I don't want to go too deep into it, it's not something I wish to bother anyone else about here, I am tired, and my computer had an issue earlier, forcing me to reinstall my OS, possible issues with the storage drive? I don't know. It's sorted now, I did get frustrated with it earlier but it is fixed. But I am waiting for my medication to take affect before going to sleep.
  16. Thinking about the team I am going to put together in Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, and of course commenting on this forum with good people here. So it appears starter Eevee cannot be evolved, but wild ones can. Good to know, Jolteon is possible in that game. My Nintendo Switch has been left untouched for many months, so this is a good excuse to use the thing.
  17. I never read that far into it to be honest with you, but whatever makes other people happy about this. Given that My Little Pony Friendship is Magic to me, is supposed to represent empathy and a paradise earned by learning from mistakes or solving problems, I'm not very fond of dark AU's where the main characters do unspeakable acts of cruelty, like what AU Rainbow Dash did to Scootaloo, it just feels so out of place, to me it does. But that does not mean I think other people should be denied their interest in said transformative works.
  18. Finding uncensored material is harder than it should be. I may have to use Archive Our Own. This may seem odd to people since I said Rainbow Factory was disturbing, but the reason why I said that is because it has one of the members of Mane Six doing things the official version would not do or ever condone. I think the same about Little Ms Rarity, them being horror esque characters to me just doesn't fit. But I respect the opinion of people who are into that and if adults they should be allowed to read that material, no problem. I'm just tired of people's freedom of expression being limited because of cancel culture. If you don't like somebody's fiction or work of art, don't look at it, simple.
  19. The loudness wars is not cool, I like music, but not to the point of damaging my hearing. Why do people insist on listening to music as loud as 100db? it's not just excessive, it is dangerous. The "hi res" marketing is something I tend to ignore, I go for lossless on bandcamp, yes, but 24bit recording is not something I typically care about. That said I may check out some more songs on there see if there's more I wish to download, I got Ghost Town song from The Specials on there a while back.
  20. Eh, you get what you pay for. But as for powerful amp/DAC combos, anything over £$200 would not be sensible, because most sub $200 DACs out there are plenty capable for any headphones. As always check the reviews.
  21. Having a cup of tea, chilling out for the evening. I may watch a movie on my Amazon firestick, but otherwise, I am going to bed in about an hour or two.
