I am pretty frustrated that the ear bud market has stopped offering the wraparound variant and only offers individual buds now. My Anker Soundcore Spirit 2s recently died and I just want to buy them or an equivalent model but they are discontinued.

I have tried individual buds but they are too prone to falling out when being active. I also really like being able to just yank the wraparounds off and wear them around the neck when not in use.

I'm told the high end buds are better and do stay in but they are like $200+ oftentimes. I could see doing that but not without trying out a dummy pair to confirm they fit.

Fwiw I work out in my AirPod Pros all the time and don’t have any issue with them falling out. Cannot say the same about the regular AirPods. Also there are places that make all sorts of earpieces for major manufacturers so you can surely find something that will be secure in your ears.

If you can’t find earbuds that come with the wraparound, I know several brands have third party straps that are kinda like the ones you see on sunglasses

I'd have to see what that looks like. I specifically figured out that doing the over-ear curl back configuration works very well for me and is what I am trying to replicate.

I've been getting that key lime skyr for like a year now, it's the best yogurt, and I love that skyr put less sugar in it too because most yogurt that isn't plain is hideously over-sweetened.

also I just caught up on the thread, someone posted they had a couple dead miatas to get rid of and I'm pretty sure there's folks in AI that would love to take them from you in exchange for money, those were super popular in AI for a long long time

At the risk of this becoming an E/N post I've been lamenting that I'm single and my stereotypical goon personality isn't helping. For example the gym near my house is closing and in my last chance to talk to a fellow member I thought was attractive… did not go well.

Unrelated but also my sister's father-in-law is in hospice so I'll be heading to Maryland soon for… an indeterminate amount of time.

It was a bad idea to hope that the new Little Mermaid movie would make me happy, as sometimes those live-action remakes are pretty good (Pete's Dragon was a lot better than it had any right to be). I just left that theater pretty mad at wasting over 2 hours watching that instead of barely 90 minutes watching the superior original.

On my way home I was so pissed I helped contribute to the overfishing of the oceans.

How it started.

Brother, we all have problems and it's okay to experience them and to share them.

I don't know what's going on here but this reads sort of like Scottie is going off of early career MJ and then going on in the cut part of what went on later?

I'm team Bron and think he's better, and there was zero chance at any point in his career he wasn't trying to set his teammates up for shots and making them better than they actually were. But this is setting the story up of how Pippen made Jordan into a monster I'm imagining. Jesus Christ the full interview is an hour and a half? I will not be researching this any more.

I'm team Jordan but I do recognize that LeBron is nipping at his heels.

His 2020 ring feels weird as it was won during the pandemic in a quarantine bubble, but then again championships won during strike-shortened seasons still count in the record books. IMO if James won this year I would feel comfortable saying he was better than Jordan due to the fact he won with 3 different teams… but luckily Jokic put an end to that speculation.
