honestly if you use speakers 90% of the sound quality is in your room and where you put your speakers, not the speakers themselves. the room is where your money should go.

for the speakers, get active speakers, as big as you can, and connect them to a dac that costs more than 100usd, and you're good to go. after that it's diminishing returns land.

also by virtue of you having 2 spaced ears, stereo speakers will have sound cancellations (in the ~1k hz region? i dont remember very well) for mid signal.


forsaking what you enjoy just to impress women seems extremely sad and counter-productive (do you really want to be with that woman?).

i play games with my wife and kids, life is good!


famines and wars. very real at the individual level. if you're rich you might insulate yourself from that to some extent.

since i had kids my friends come more often to my place since i can go less often to theirs. and we have a great time, because we are friends...

really depends on what you call friends. i am not very social and have very few friends (i don't have a "contact list"), but these are strong friendships.


have kids because i wanted to.

and life is beautiful.


in my case i made money to not have to think about it, the whole managing money thing was/is repulsive to me.

i only started learning about that when i had kids, so i have something to leave them when i die.


how is it obviously false?

it seems simply unproven, but plausible to me.


wish i still had my hp48g, the emulator apps are the most used apps on my phone/ipad, they re glorified calculators*ipod by now with worse buttons.


I still have my HP graphing calculator, but I haven't used it in years. I just use the emulator on my phone. It's crazy that in decades of having much better hardware, including an entire decade of phones in the exact same form factor we use today, we haven't come up with better software that would make a calculator emulator irrelevant.



Neat, didn't know about this.


why do you care that much that other people "reinvent the wheel"?
