And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I don't spend life with a phone to my ear, so I have yet to discover anyplace where being totally unable to hear anything else going on was something I considered a good thing.
If I had an Evil genius Lair with concrete walls and bunker doors, I might relent, but I figure that'd be pretty well a perfect listening environment without the ear buds.
Agree. On both points. I have 2 giant 29" monitors connected to my computer, why would I want to look at a little 5" screen?
Similarly, I have 4 Pioneer HPM100 speakers connected to a Pioneer SX1250 receiver, connected to a hard drive with 18,000 mp3 files. Why would I want to stuff little pieces of foam in my ears?
Finally, I venture rarely outside the compound and when I do all senses are tuned and I am interested in all forms of observance in my journeys. What could possibly be going on in them tiny pieces of foam that is so attractive? I just don't get it.
I use a similar, but much cheaper, set of earbuds when I'm at the gym. It's crap at noise cancellation, but it tones the noisy gym enough that I can hear my own music and the Dan Bongino show. But I consider being able to hear at least a little of what's going on around me as a tactical necessity. When not in the comfort and safety of my own home, I like to have situational awareness.
Well if that doesn’t look like and AI picture.

YMMV

The coming burn off will be glorious.
Anything covering the ears thus making it hard to hear what is coming up behind you is why I do not use these.
ReplyDeleteCute little thang.
