    Oh I am very aware of that but this guy doesn’t seem to be. He came to me with his daughters school laptop because he had purchased an external harddrive so she could put The Sims 4 on it. They were having issues installing the game on it.

    He bought a 40$ 2TB external harddrive that was fake and kept crashing when you tried to access it. At least I managed to get him to spend a bit more on upgrading the SSD instead of having his daughter suffer through loading games from a shitty USB HDD.

    I almost bought an SP NVMe SSD yesterday for a client who insisted on saving every penny possible but went with another cheap brand because I saw a lot of reports of failures with the NVMe ones as well. Now I’m hoping the other cheap option that was available won’t suffer the same fate.

    I’ve been feeling off for the past couple months. Two nights ago I decided to do shrooms, I had been putting it off for over two years because I knew deep down I would have a difficult experience and I was right. I took 2 grams as tea with lemon juice, plus 1g eaten. I spent 3 hours which felt like days just screaming and crying. I felt emotional pain like I’ve never felt in my life before, it was absolute never ending insanity. I cried so much my eyes were almost swollen shut.

    My mother has been sick for a long time now and it has been very difficult to deal with and I’d mostly been avoiding it. The mushrooms reaaaally shoved it in my face, they were absolutely brutal about it and made me feel the pain of the loss of my mother for the first 30 minutes. Then they decided to show me that people have lived through the pain of loss since the beginning of time by making me feel that pain through the eyes of thousands of people through thousands of generations lol. It was like I was going through a fractal of the lives of people down generations and generations but only the painful parts of their lives and I felt their emotions so vividly. That lasted for like two and a half hours, with small 5 minute breaks here and there where the trip would go down a bit and I could breathe until it would just pull me back in to this infinite spiral of emotional torture.

    During the entire trip, every time I would get a small break I would just be crying, wishing for it to be over. I wanted to get off. 30 minutes after it ended and I went to bed I was already asking myself when the next time was gonna be hahah.

    Yesterday I was just in shock all day, eyes still swollen as hell and with the worst headache of my life.

    Today I am much better physically but mentally I am still in shock.

    Sorry for the wall of insanity.





  • Regular watch, mostly because I hate having one more device to constantly charge up. I liked my Pebble Steel back in the day because I only had to charge it like once a week, plus I think it looked really good. I now have a Huawei GT2 Elegant that I used for a while, now only use it as a fitness tracker when I work out. Daily driver is a Gucci Tornabuoni because it’s cute and comfortable but it’s almost useless for telling the time, it’s just a fashion piece.



  • Oof yeah I know, it’s scary going back to dynamic drivers after being spoiled by the speed and agility of planar drivers. The HD800 are definitely a great pair of headphones though, I doubt you would regret the switch especially if you can get a good pair second hand. I’ve never tried the HD560s but yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d lose something switching from planar to those drivers. Sennheisers tend to be pretty dark and veiled especially at the lower price points, the HD650 (HD6xx) or HD600 would probably be a safer bet but even with those you might feel like you’re missing something.

    Funnily, the one pair I kept other than my Stax are a pair a HE-4xx that I’ve modded a bit, which are basically the same as the HE-400i. For the price they are hard to beat.
