Depends on what you're looking for. The cheapest way to get lossless audio is usually used CDs. For digital downloads there's HDTrack, Qobuz, Bandcamp and Bleep. All of which can be eclectic in their music selection.

I was never too into watches, but I am into weird and unusual tech. In this day and age I do believe a watch should serve as more than a timepiece. Here's my daily-use watch: The name of the watch is The Watch Firebird. It's a nixie, cold-cathode vacuum tube digital watch made in Russia. The clock chip is a Micro Crystal RV-8803-C7 and the housing is made of anodized aluminium. The watch is only splash proof, but I've also never gone diving with a watch. It did originally come with a silicone strap, but I never really liked the feel of those. I swa

I'm updating my office hi-fi soon-ish, and bought a new DAC in anticipation of loosing my current one: It's a Topping D90 without MQA support. It sounds rather nice and clean compared to the one I used to have.

I argue with, and on behalf of, adults that act like children. Lawyer might be the accepted term, but I prefer "general adult supervisor."

If I only listened to black metal I would have killed myself years ago: Variety is the spice of life, after all.

An objectivist's history of philosophy:

There has been a lot of really good black metal coming from Europe lately. Projects and bands alike seem to find ways to adhere to tradition while also adding new inspirations and twists to their sound.

I've always liked the idea of nixie watches, but most of them always looked like glorified DIY projects. Something which definitely has its charm, but not something I'd wear in a formal setting. So I bought this: I really like the clean, anodized aluminium look. It did come with a rather nice silicone strap, but I decided to switch it out with a metal one from an old Omega watch I had laying around.

My main setup is a NAD M51 DAC, S.M.S.L. SP200 amp and, currently, a pair of Grado GS1000e headphones. The Grado headphones is just my current favorite for playing video games. They suck at pretty much everything else, but their soundstage lends them really well to immersive games. Else I switch between a pair of Audeze LCD-2, Sennheiser HD600 (or 660s if I feel fancy) or Shure SE846.

Uh, that's really nice. It does sound like a lot of the Pest Production bands, but there's certainly worse sounds you could mimic. It's a really cool old school atmospheric sound.

My university time was just fine. I had a family and full-time job on the side, so not much time to socialize with my fellow student. But I ended up finishing with an LL.M and got a job in my desired field. Where are you getting that number from? I obviously can't speak for Germany, but when I worked at the University of Copenhagen as an external lecturer, we were working with a dropout rate of roughly 5% per year among the student I taught (mainly undergrad pol.sci students). And when I attended the same university, the dropout rate for the entire five year degree, in my
