Do you have sound equalization (‘rock’ or whatever setting) on? I went back to none and my earbud volume was loud enough again.Quote:

I feel you
I was in a sling for like 10 weeks when I had shoulder surgery. It gets fucking old when people bump you.
Kinda lost it in the grocery store yesterday at a woman who was in my checkout aisle "helping" the bagger and clerk bag their stuff after the 2nd bump and then grabbing my cart to load the rest of their shit. I asked" WTF is wrong with you?"
I did not get an answer.;)
A slice of life: 'Charlotte's Web' banned
A friend recently mentioned the 1952 children’s book “Charlotte’s Web,” beloved by millions of kids over the past seven decades, being banned from a school library in Kansas. Why? According to a few people, animals were not created with the ability to talk, nor spiders with ability to weave words in their webs. Hmmm … apparently, they missed the message for children about friendship and the power of language between the main characters, Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider.

Patchouli, my sisters wore that in '76. My Naval Officer Dad was less than enthusiastic with it.
It annoyed him.
The design engineers that make tent bags juuust too small so it's damn near impossible to get the fucking thing back in should be burned alive. And I'm taking backyard party tent...not backpacking.
Go fuck yourselves
Someone should try to ban the Bible cause there’s no way a burning bush can talk, or water can become wine. That’s not how bushes work!Quote:

Is it pre-scented with three month old putrid urine, B.O., and stale alcohol perfumes?
Because that’s certainly the vibe they are going for.
Experienced that today packing up a new tent that is made to fit on a full size truck. Wtf? You think i need this to fit in the glove box?Quote:

I love having to leave home for shit like this :)
This is Amerikkka, aren't you supposed to solve this with a firearm?Quote:

I love how new WFHers think that before they stayed at home they lived in these quiet little neighborhoods where nobody made any noise all day long. But now that they are home all day long, they realize that that's when dogs bark, laborers cut grass, shit gets done, and now that's annoying because they "Need to be on a zoom call". Why not make a sound proof room in your house and/or wear noise canceling ear buds?
^^^100%. I’ve worked from home since the 90s and all these new work from home complaints make my head explode. “Can you start your construction later?” Are you fucking kidding me? RFA. Same goes for complaints about roadwork
I am relatively new to full-time WFH, as I started doing it in 2009. One adjusts, comes up with alternate plans, etc. However, I still reserve the right to be annoyed by the neighbor's noises.
Yeah but how many unmuffled motors do they have to run at the same time, at one point there were 6, 3 leaf blowers, a riding mower, a walk behind and a weedwhacker. A lot of towns are adding regulations that force contractors to go electric with some tools so that'll be nice. It would also be nice if people didn't have so much that needs significant maintenance that they can't do but, I'm that curmudgeon that hates lawns and loads of non-native plants. I have a lawn but haven't fertilized or seeded it for over 20 years and the shit just keeps growing whether I want it to or not and I have electric tools so I don't have to listen to the noise of the gas motors. Waaaahhhh first world problems...
Why can't people manage to stop at the big fat STOP line at intersections? Why do they have to creep through it and end up a car length into the intersection? It just keeps getting worse. I watched 2 more cars get squashed by left turning vehicles last week.
You prefer they run one engine at a time for 4 hours? Maybe you should wrote them a letter in your spare time advising them on how to be quieter.
If your neighbors gardeners need to be using riding mowers, you def get the stfu put a soundproof studio on the other side of your compound award
Leaf blowers. They're overused. They have their place in the fall, but jfc, blowing some dust off the sidewalk? The commercial building use is just dumb.
