Swapped out two of my fans for Noctua and yeah. That has made a vast difference in noise levels. £12 per-fan but I regret nothing.

@FreakyFwoof Yup. I grew up in a heavily Chinese/Korean area. It's a popular supersticion in these cultures that you shouldn't leave fans running in a closed room for too long, because they'll suck out all the oxygen. So if the classroom was hot, but it was raining so the windows couldn't be […]

Once knew a guy that swore up and down that he'd only ever use gold-plated *optical* cable, because it, 'carried the sound better.' He said he could hear normal cables, such as those that shipped with, at the time, minidisk players. Have you ever known someone believe something so hard like […]

At the hotel reception I said "I'm awfully sorry, I forgot what room I'm in". "No problem sir" the lady said. "This is called 'The Lobby'".

How is it that a man in a high position in an apparently 'developed' country can get away with saying publicly, and I quote: 'no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no whimps, no radicals.' The actual hell is that about? Whichever side of the divide you fall on, what, actually, is that?

I remember when mastodon was plesant. Now it's apparently tolerant people telling others that 'If you use this, your opinion doesn't matter whatsoever.' Worse than twitter at the height of when I was last there. Don't know what happened to the place but it's not nice. Shame really.
