I can still hear the music clearly and they don't detract from the music or experience at all, imo. YMMV. I have extremely sensitive hearing though, so they're perfect for me.

I like how they come in individual packs per pair. Might get them to try and use for Indycar, IMSA, etc

I think the sound quality is miles ahead of the foam plugs, they're reusable, and they're a lot more comfortable. Last concert I went to, I took the plugs out for a while and felt like I could hear less cause it was just blasting out my eardrums.

Lol. Yeah, I know too. I have been looking around Amazon haha. Thanks for the feedback. I figure most of these are cheap enough to try a couple pairs if I didn't like them. But hoping to narrow down the field a bit. Thanks

Florida's trying to stop DST. Can we all do this? And switch to metric too? Think if I had 3 wishes these would be two of them.

I'm down as long as we don't give Florida the credit. Can we get something done before Sunday?

Assembly Bill 385 was the last attempt in 2016 to keep us on standard time year round. I don't know where it went in sacramento. The big problem is people don't understand. We are on DST the majority of the year. People really want DST year round, not our standard time.

I don't care which they use but pick one and stick with it! This changing back and forth so that people can have more light to feed the chickens in the daylight doesn't need to happen anymore.

Hell, drive from Norcal to Socal during harvest time and most of the farmers are working at night. I'm assuming since it's not 100+ degrees at night.

True. And at the price of whale oil these days it can make a huge difference in my budget.
Damn Greenpeace driving the price up.

Yes they work in the dark because it is cooler. Let's go with that!

Had another incident a little bit ago outside my apartment building.

Couple guys about my age, give or take a few years were hanging out on bikes in the backlot where my car is parked. Overheard them talking, so I looked and saw them outside my window.

They were standing right by my car and kept looking it over. Didn't feel up to going outside in case they were fucking lunatics or something.

Finally they started leaving, and I ended up talking to my downstairs neighbor who told me the guys were smoking crack or something and almost wouldn't leave.

Another day in San Jose..

She said she didn't see weed, it was something else.

Also I'd agree with her because when we've had people in back smoking weed I've been able to smell it from my apartment.
