Eh, I was told to set the amplifier up for the speakers, then drive around with them playing at a moderate level for a day or two (No higher than half volume), then go nuts if I want. I figured 2 hours of constant driving was good enough to simulate a day of driving. Brb, checking out rammstein with current setup. Edit: can confirm, rammstein sounds good.

Eh, I run as my headphones I buy overnight at a moderate volume with some music on loop. I started doing it to "break them in," but now it's more of a "driver glue test" to see if they'll break, so I can return them within the return window.

Speaker drivers are still mechanical devices and the suspension on them can be stiff after being sat in storage for x months. My nice headphones honestly sounded poo poo right out of the box to the point I was going to send them back. An hour or so with pink noise at a decent volume and they loosened up nicely. I will forever bag on audiophools but this is a thing that actually works. If I were to break in the drivers that are in my PA subs inside the cabinets, I'd have like 11 ASBOs because those fuckers are loud.

They have one of those cheap-rear end Starbucks coffee machines at work that brews one cup at a time by grinding it and pressing it through what appears to be a toilet paper roll of coffee filter. I'm certain it hasn't been cleaned since the second Bush administration, and I've decided I'm bringing my own coffee in from now on and french pressing it, time be damned. There's only so much a person's stomach can take of horrible, gross coffee.

I'm no coffee drinker but I *still* dont understand how the USA puts up with the poo poo passing as coffee there. We certainly dont, Starbucks keeps going broke or reliant of idiot tourists. Actually I dont understand how Australians got to have a Italian-like coffee culture in the first place. I guess coffee drinkers cant complain, your office doesn't have decent coffee? Go outside, throw a stone and pick one of the three coffee places it landed near.
