How do people think noise cancelling is snake oil? A 10 year old can understand phase shift.

First of all, I can understand being wary if one's first exposure to the concept of destructive interference comes from a product description. Beyond that, though, I think the uncertainty stemmed from doubting that destructive interference could be reliably achieved in practice by a relatively cheap consumer device.

Edit: wish I could preview in the mobile app.

I hate to be that guy, but if you haven't closed you don't own it yet. Congrats on your accepted offer! I hope you have a smooth closing, that's a neat looking house.

That's the iOS app, right? If the Android app has the same option, I can't find it.

The watch is the end result of my selling up a load of cheaper watches over the past couple of months. The book is a late Christmas present - I got some book tokens in December and spent them this afternoon. I'm happy with both purchases so far, but both will reveal over time whether I've made the right decision.



Rookie mistake, should have used your book tokens on a combat knife

For me personally, I was always suspicious of any noise cancelling headphones less than $150.

I'd that actually 12.5 MB/s, or is it really 12.5 Mb/s?

I hope the former, because no one should be this excited about 12.5 Mb/s.

To be fair, I don't think people even think about how 95% of the time they are in an environment that has x background noise at y frequency. But then people ugh, what do I know.

Looks goofy as hell but I can't say I wouldn't ride one for the fun of it. How is something like that up/down hills?

also how big is that thing? the one's i've seen were built more like cruiser bikes

On a normal bike when you come to a tough hill you stand up out of the saddle right? Well on this bike you're already standing so for hill work its pretty good. As far as size, it can actually fold in the middle, same for the handle bar stand. I couldn't get it in all the way in the trunk of my small car but I'm confident it would fit in my Maxima.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

britax marathon clicktight. It was ridiculously easy to install, has great reviews, the baby seemed to like it and it wasn't super expensive so I'd say I like it. The non-rethread harness height adjustment is a great feature.

Is that the 8"? Why not the 10" or 12"? I always thought you would go smaller with nonstick.

Need one in each car. During overtime one of us will have to drop the baby off and the other pick her up.

Whew, caught the sale just before it ended. Thanks!

It's the 12".

Edit: wait, maybe not. I assumed so because I got the 12" at that price, but the one I ordered includes a lid, so I'm not sure exactly what they ordered.
