louder music = less thinking

If you're trying to enjoy music, stay home 🤷🏿

Take Molly, get herpes 😎

Never not gotten laid after a concert

Yeh good HiFi is worth it if you I to good tunes

Is HiFi gear?

Only regretted it most of the time

That and a One Tigris pouch is about it. Got a waist harness and belay devices for rock climbing but that doesn't quite count. I'm trying to find a good pair of Comtac 3's because my employeer is a chinese manufacturer who doesn't care that at idle, the machines we use are at 85 Db. I figure, buy 1 good ear pro that I can use when I get a gun instead of buying multiple sets. Plus I have to be able to talk to those around me while working.

You can sit at your desk with your vacuum tube DAC and AKG800s listening to DSD files if you want to enjoy music

Chinese manufacturer???

Just wear Comtacs to to the concert. Assert dominance.

I love live music but I don't want it to hurt my ears.

lol

Do you work in the apple factory or something?

Yes

Yes. They're one of the first companies to open a US factory to avoid tariffs. It's not a sweatshop but let's just say that OSHA would spank their asses if it weren't for the "factory startup license" we are currently on.

what?

Just sabotage the equipment

What kinda machines y'all running?

Honestly good on you for thinking ahead about your hearing. The constant ringing in my ears wishes I had earlier.

Or use foamies

Mine mostly came from blacksmithing though.

Foamies aight cept you can't always hear niggas talking to you

@CTL check

oh shit

🤠

I'm an equipment technician, no degree, so I'm using them for my resume. working on finding a new job now actually. I've learned a lot but the chinese techs haven't bothered to train us much. It's hard to actually DO your job here.

Damn

Yeah chinamen be like that

it was mostly a joke but mirin the brims

@Red Korvo do you use earplugs at work

Carrier off to the right or what?

Lol

We're running all specialized machines. Purpose-made machines built by chinese vendors. Newest generation shit but none of the tech in them is really proprietary.

Hmm

@gajouflas Well howdy pardner.

We have ear plugs but no one really uses them. It's just a box sitting in the back of our spare parts room.

lectronics or metalworking or what

Do you use them

@franknotcreep no cheap vest I bought a few years ago, I need to get a plate carrier
