Both my wife and I are immunocompromised (kidney transplant and cancer). We wear a mask because getting sick really sucks and it's not just COVID. We're glad most people got used to the idea of seeing others in masks because here in the US it wasn't a common thing like it is in Japan. I never expected others to continue wearing them but we get harassed often for wearing ours. It's so frustrating now that I simply yell "she has cancer" whenever someone confronts us. Some go as far as to tell us to "stay home" then if we're so scared. We're just trying to live too and sometimes that means us wearing a mask when we're out.

So does it brother you when other people wear masks? If so, why?

I was at a theme park yesterday and got harassed because my wife and I were wearing masks while waiting in line for rides. I have a kidney transplant and my wife had cancer in 2016 so we're both immunocompromised. Just whose fun are we ruining?

I don't have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.

I'm about 40 hours into Trails To Azure and it's been a blast going through The Legend Of Heroes and the Trails series in order.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can't see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that's in the 1000kbps range is not straight up "clarity" in the sense that something like an instrument is "clearer" but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn't matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don't have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

I believe emoji was a Japanese creation, not a Apple creation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji

I'm 40 now (married and have a son). My younger family members in their late 20s are having such a hard time with dating that they're opting in for arranged marriage (which is common for Southeast Asians).

I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.

  • Beelink Mini S.
  • 2 external 5TB drives.
  • A USB fan used as an exhaust because the SSD inside gets a bit warm.

I think total power is about 30W.

I use Deezer's family plan that includes FLAC/HiFi for $15.99/month.

Are you saying Deemix only downloads at 128kbps? If so, I've been using it as well and download in FLAC. Also, I pay for the family plan which is $15.99/month.

Edit: Ah, I'm guessing you're not on a paid Deezer plan.
