We're both thirty? I'm sure there's a satanic relevance you can yield if you apply enough fuzzy logic

I'm twenty
Though everyone at the restaurant figured I was older. Ages ranged from 21 to 25 for some odd reason

If you act responsible, people generally think your 5 or so years older. For some reason, society seems to believe 18 to 23 year olds are raving hormonal driven zombies.

I'm 19, but apparently I look anywhere from 16 to 21 depending on who you ask... Wonder what that signifies. o_o

Nothing.  People in general are notoriously inept at gauging age, weight, and height.  Sorry =)

Another pair of my earbuds has ****ed up and now only works on one side.
I swear I think those things are made to break. The best ones I've ever had were made by Apple.

You chew through earbuds/phones like they're going out of fashion, too?

I only buy really cheap pairs now, since I don't want to pay for an expensive pair and have them only last a few months too (granted, I use them a lot).

Really depends on what you consider expensive/high quality. Otherwise, JVC and Skullcandy and most other off-the-shelf earbuds are complete crap.

Happy birthday, deathfun!

And how old are you fellas? I'm only just 18.5.

21 as of the first day of this month.

its a byproduct of that hair thin enamel wire they use in head phone wiring (particularly earbuds). it is so prone to breaking its ridiculous. i never spend more than $10 on a pair of earbuds.

Except there are higher quality models available that won't come apart because of regular abuse. You don't have to use cheap & thin wires with everything. You literally get what you pay for--$10 to you is more like $2 to your retailer. Soundmagic PL50's or HiFiMan RE0's or Monster Turbines or the ever-popular and VERY mod-friendly Koss KSC75's.

actually my thing lately is to get headphones that are easy to open up, so that the primary point of failure, the wires, can be replaced with a little soldering wizardry.

[Klaustrophobia]

or just take a little preventative action and drop a solder blob on there from the get-go.  hmm.  that makes me think, i wonder if a glob of super glue or epoxy or something at the base of the earbud cords would prevent them from pulling out and shorting.

[Nuke]

thats seldom the point of failure in my expirience. cheap headphone wiring doesnt like to isolate the wires with individual sheaths, this would hinder the flexibility of the cables and result in fatter wires (omg the cables are too thick!), so instead they like to use tiny strands of enamel wire, which share a common sheath. wire makers are cheap so they usually only put enamel on one of the conductors and use bare wire for the other. what happens is that as the cable flexes these wire rub against eachother. if the enamel wears off, you got a short. and its just as likely that one of the conductors will just break outright (they arent very tough). soldier connections on the other hand tend to be rather tough, and so they dont break.

yes some of the higher end headphones have better wiring and better everything else, and if youre an audiophile it makes since to buy them. for me its a hard sell though. i dont give a **** about sound quality and i dont need them to look cool. i just want a pair of headphones that you plug in and they make noise, it doesnt need to sound good at all i listen to black metal and it sounds best when it sounds like ****. if they made a pair of headphones that were designed to be durable, not targeting audiophiles at all, id consider buying them.

Played Tribes Ascend with the Grandhipster himself. Missed my scheduled nod off point by three hours. So am a bit tired now. Unlocked sentinel class

[deathfun]

Me at work, climbing into the ceiling to open up the door beside me
Our closing manager decided to leave the only set of keys with the ability to open up that door in that room
So I climbed my ****ing way in there, opened up that ****, and made way with a single phrase
"Un****ing believable Jenna"



EDIT:
Random rant that I came up with for no real reason




Scents. Clearly people have no sense

Old Spice deodorant. Here I am looking at my options. I could smell like “White Water” or “Game Day” or “Pure Sport”. I crack open the lid and give it a whiff. I then proceed to attempt a correlation between the scent and the description to which I can’t, because “Pure Sport” makes me think sweat and blood.

I mean come the **** on. Why is it, that every deodorant for men has some obscure description as to what the the hell it smells like? How can I relate to “Showtime”? What kind of ****ing name for a scent is that?
“Oh hello there sir, what are you wearing? That scent is exquisite!”
“It’s nothing fancy, just SHOWTIME!”
Everytime I see that scent, I see Eddie Murphy’s face popping out of the label with Robert De Niro’s condescending look right behind him.

So my question is, where do these things come from? Aqua Reef? Swagger? I wasn’t even aware you could smell like swagger! BUT NOW YOU CAN WITH OLD SPICE SWAGGER. Who sits down there thinking “This smells like swagger, so it shall be thus named swagger”. What the ****

See, if I want to smell like something, I want something tangible. Something I know what the smell for it is.

Flame grilled steak for example. I know this smell. I would love to smell like steak all the time because that’s how I roll. Nobody will go asking “What is that god awful smell” to which I’ll have to respond with “Game Day”. No, it will be “My god, I feel like a ****ing steak right now” which opens up the perfect opportunity for “You can take a bite out of me anytime”.

But of course, we could always go with something simple. Vanilla, for example. There’s nothing wrong with walking about the mall smelling like vanilla. Why? Because vanilla is awesome and anyone who says otherwise are heretics. If they have an issue with a man smelling like vanilla, it’s just because they were jealous they didn’t think of that before they went off smelling like “Pure Sport”
