<$100: "Qudelix 5K Bluetooth DAC" Allows you to connect a pair of headphones to an audio source via Bluetooth using high quality (near lossless) codecs (also works as a USB DAC when needed). The killer feature is an onboard Parametric EQ with the ability to save profiles on the device. No more trying to manage EQ profiles on all my devices for my various headphones.

<$1000: I bought a digital piano to learn to play music. I feel that learning an instrument has had an enormous effect on my life. It's great for getting those synapses going, and find it very relaxing to play after a hard day.

Ill pay the nearly 3x markup in India just for its db meter. I enter the headphone impedance and sensitivity (dB/mW) and it shows the real time (estimated) volume. Also I converted the frequency response to V-shape so my open back headphones sounds good at lower volumnes. I moved from "25 hours a week" volume levels to "168 hours a week".

I would guess most people who listen to music while they work have the volume way too far up for that amount of exposure. Anyone on an iPhone should go into Sounds -> Headphone Safety and reduce loud audio to 75 dB. You'll probably be shocked by how quiet that is.

I wonder how they determine that? Especially with Bluetooth, you have no idea how much sound energy is being put out, and can't infer it from power draw or anything similar.

It's as simple as you'd expect: AirPods and beats have their SPLs hardcoded, everything else is estimated based on volume control.

Although Apple says there can be bad interactions between this and live listen, so maybe there is some realtime monitoring happening.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the value here, but this doesn't handle any months that have less than 31 days (including February ironically, which seems to be the source of its name).

Additionally how does the user align the frame year by year? Look up the month on a normal calendar first?

> Additionally how does the user align the frame year by year? Look up the month on a normal calendar first?

In practice, probably yes.

In theory, when it's December 31, you can relatively easily figure out what day of the week tomorrow is going to be.

Ah yes that makes sense, thank you.

On the last day of the month, you would align the 1st to the next day of the week.

I guess you should delete the last days of each month according to its length, Or - have 4 "calendars" one for each possible month length: 28, 29, 30, 31

Yeah, you just have to know when to ignore the 31 (and as you say, also the 29 and 30 in some cases).

Calling a specific diet the "natural way of eating" is either very egotistical or just plain naive.

There are groups around the world that eat vastly different diets than a typical westerner diet. Including ones that are vegetarian, and have been for a lot longer than you might expect.

A bit of an unrelated topic, but if you liked HyperCard you might be interested in https://hyperscript.org/ and their related project https://htmx.org/

It's fascinating that you consider promoting drag shows as "fringe" behavior, considering that drag has been a well known form of entertainment for decades. It seems you've missed the memo that drag has entered cultural mainstream. Your perspective is either shockingly outdated or deliberately disingenuous.

So you're saying that people over at companies like Basecamp have never been "serious about their work"? Seems unlikely to me.
