How is this not a meme yet?

I think you must mean the K702? Those are pretty much clones of the Q701.

I’ve been focusing hard on my job, and received feedback from a C Suite Exec this week that he is impressed with my professionalism and interpersonal abilities, especially when meeting with other execs or company lawyers. He even has started coming directly to me because, quote, “Shit gets done when you’re involved.” This is huge to me because I’m impossibly awkward in social circles and mostly a shut-in neckbeard, but somehow it works for me at my job.

I also received recognition in the form of a beautiful glass plaque from the CEO this year, and it feels amazing.

I crawled my way up from homelessness to stability and now I’m rocking it at my job. Feels good man.

I know it’s a bit taboo and perhaps unwise to put so much emphasis on your job, but it’s what brings me happiness because I’ve struggled and fought to get to where I am now. My success has afforded me a comfortable upper-middle-class life and I’m still kind of shocked that it all came to fruition. Went from sleeping under the underpass to a penthouse condo in less than two decades.

Fuck yeah, the zoo is awesome. Thanks for the neat pics.

The K7 series is similar but not identical. The sound profile changed slightly when manufacturing was moved from Austria to China.

I’m a bit of an audiophile and the Q701s are the best I’ve listened to. They far out pace anything else under $200 in terms of soundstage and clarity. The bass is a bit low, but this is to be expected from open backs.

AKG Q701 headphones also. I’ve been using the same pair for well over a decade.

I think “is” is grammatically correct here. Teams is the name of the application, singular.

Depends on how difficult it was. If they hauled the furniture up a flight of stairs, toss them a few bucks. If they drop it at the curb or just inside the door, no. I just had a fridge delivered and carried up four flights of stairs and tipped $50 because it was a huge pain in the ass for them.

The children yearn for the mines.

No, I don’t think they’re the same. I was taking the knowledge the poster above provided and brainstorming options.

I laid awake last night thinking if it would be possible to make an elaborate Excel spreadsheet to accomplish this. I need to research more about the specifics of menstrual cycles, but I think it wouldn’t take that much effort. It could be disguised as something else and shared freely, and people could store it locally to ensure privacy.

Can confirm, I’m the horse.

1. Get sober
2. Figured out what you want to do in life.

Don’t think about jobs specifically. What do you want your life to look like? Traveling? Learning new things? Meeting a lot of people? Content solitude?

Once you figure out your ideal life, work backwards to form a plan. The pieces will fall into place and congrats, you now have a roadmap to your ideal. Make it happen.

When I was younger than you are now I was homeless. I remember one night I was hiding from the monsoon in an underpass, nursing broken ribs courtesy of some teenagers who decided to fuck with me a few days before. I knew this wasn’t the life I wanted. I knew I wanted my own safe place to live with a fridge full of food and hot running water. I stayed up all night and crunched the numbers - how much I would need to make, where I should live, what job and degree I’d need. It took 10 years but I followed the plan to a T and it worked out exactly as intended. It feels like a lifetime ago now.

23 is far from being too late. I know folks twice your age who have turned it around. The important thing is to start now and don’t stop until you’ve arrived at your destination. It is possible, you just need to take the right steps.

Much love friend. If you need help with the planning stages, send me a message.

I don’t know much about menstrual cycles. Wouldn’t it be easier and just as effective to track with pen and paper?

Missed Connections on CL actually worked for me once roughly 15 years ago.

I think the tiniest sliver of silver lining is that republicans seem to want states to decide on a whole slew of things, meaning that any anti-trans legislation likely won’t mean I need to leave the country, only sell my house and move to another state and pray I can find a job there.

This timeline sucks.

Yes, this is still a crucial job role for most organizations.

Advocating for violence, really?
