I'm the opposite in a way, I tend to look for a specific word and when I can't find it right away it can make for awkward pauses in my speech. I'm working on it.

But when I was younger, sure, tons of filler words. It gets better

    Yeah it was not so much the active speaker part as the PA speakers part that had me doubting. although I'm not a basshead I noticed also the 80hz

    I just stumbled upon the D3V while browsing second hand speakers! not knowing what I was looking at. They're new, selling them 200€ instead of retail 250€. I was hoping to spend half that. Maybe if I can talk them down a bit...

    Thank you very much for your input. I think I'll cancel the Audac order.

    Hi,

    Although I'm not an audiophile, this post might still fit the "budget" part of the sub.
    I can buy a pair of active speakers, reasonable size, with standby mode (which is maybe common, I don't know), for cheap.
    There are the Audac Ares5A. Targeted at background/music applications: classrooms, meeting rooms, bars, restaurants, retail, etc.
    They says it's fine for music, but of course they would say that.
    I would use them as desktop pc speakers.

    Is it completely idiotic of me? I like buying professional products, it's often very sturdy. The "buy it for life" stuff.
    Is it something people do, or am I in effect asking if it's a good idea to buy an 18-wheeler to commute to work?

    Youtube is about the last Alphabet service I knowingly use (except when someone shares a google doc).
    I thought you meant no Youtube at all. I use Freetube and Newpipe almost exclusively.
    Peertube too, when the instance I use to follow channels works (the two previous ones closed). It's a pain to subscribe to stuff. Maybe with RSS feeds...

    edit: I've been subscribed to Kagi for a while too, maybe going two years. Love it. Wish it was cheaper

    I really liked Qwant maps, a good use of OSM, but the idiots closed it...

    How do you do that? I would love to be able to avoid YouTube. I could go without the entertainment part of it, sure. But no more tutorials would already be a big pain. And then there are the news sites with embedded videos. Even the state uses it.

    YouTube has single handedly almost nullified my degoogling project

    I didn't think it was a short game. But I'm not a particularly fast player. And I believe the DLCs were installed. Took me a while

    I really liked it. From what I understood it's part of the Alan Wake universe, should I play it ? I tried the beginning of the first one but it seemed a bit too slow/story driven for my taste.

    wrong again. Who cares. you're so fucking pathetic. tankie cunts are every bit as bad as maga fascists. now making accounts outside of .ml I see, pos does what it has to to spread its cuntiness where no one wants them. There's no blocking you people, it's like a virus.

    I checked the downvotes: all tankies accounts. on .zip and shit.justworks and other non tankie instance.
    they caught up
