No, I’m afraid I cannot justify US$550 for a set of headphones.
Do they sound amazing? I’m certain they do.
Do they integrate seamlessly with the Apple universe that I already have? Yep, no doubt.
But it’s still $550 for a set of headphones and that alone is reason enough for it to wait for a long while.
Though, I admit that I am curious about how effective its noise-cancelation is and how it compares with the AirPods Pro.
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
— Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”
Had to abruptly leave class today just before lunch.
Not because I wanted the day off nor that I’m sick (I feel fine and I’ve loads of things I wish to do) but because Daisy received positive test results.
Not positive “good” but positive “bad”.
She has had a sore throat a few days and a cough that was medically more likely an infection, but Covid tests were requested. Test results came back positive a few days later.
Notified the instructor, filled out a form for State & CDC tracking, clocked-out, grabbed my tools and quietly left the building.
Sucks. But, do the best we can.
I’ve spent today and part of yesterday adding something safer on the floor in the living space of the habitation.
Well, after some careful examination, it’s become abundantly clear that the previous owner had indeed rewired the heat control circuitry in the furnace.
Could I set it right? I could, sure. Do I have all of the needed elements/parts to? No, I’d have to source, order, await delivery, etc.
How long would it take? A few months.
I simply haven’t the time we’d need.
I suppose that means rebuilding is out of the question. Which leaves us with obtaining a replacement. So, I’ll be shopping around as our limited time permits to source a replacement and we’ll install it.
I feel somewhat discouraged by the fact it’ll be new, installed, then removed or disposed in a year or two.
I wonder if I could make do over the winter with a reasonable supply of firewood for the wood stove and kerosene for the portable kerosene heaters.
