Exploding headphones
From what I read elsewhere, the headphones could have been of the headband type, perhaps noise cancelling like Bose QuietComfort, using larger rechargeable batteries of the AA or AAA type. I've used this type of batteries of Chinese make and are very very poor quality, nothing to do with the quality of the OEM batteries being used in Apple and other reputed brands products. The fault wasn't on the headphones and their brand, but on the batteries.

I think you've been behaving more chilly than shilly.

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
Maybe I've missed what exactly the SDR is. What I read following the link to SABF just mentions the half Shure tips mod, which seems rather easy and safe to perform, but I must recognize I didn't read the whole 31 pages. On a more thorough search I've found Tyll's post describing how the "plug" is constructed. In its current version the plug is more complex and different from what a silicon tip would do. Thanks for your reply. I've also found an italian guy selling plugs on ebay. I guess this has nothing to do with you, just a smartass fellow taking profit of the idea.

Neil Young claims he was working on an audiophile iPod with Steve Jobs
I purchased a Pono player at the Kickstarter phase. The damn thing sounds really good, I guess the Hansen engineering had something to do, but other than the couple of Herbie Hancock albums this edition had loaded, I haven't been tempted to buy any of the Pono's music. Since it has a big capacity due to the support of microSD cards up to 128GB, I use it when away from home for a few days. Not using it on daily commutes, the shape is just nuts and very impractical. I wish they had made it in a regular flat prism shape.

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
It looks interesting and makes a lot of sense. I'm rather happy with the Anaxilus mod on mine, but TBH I'm not listening much with headphones, and most of the times I do on commute with IEMs, or with Stax at home. Sorrodje, have you ever tried the silicon tips of the Klipsch IEMs? I'm curious if you chose the Shure ones for some favorable difference over the Klipsch or Comply ones.

What are you listening to Part the Third
Thundercat - Drunk I was expecting a lot more from a "genius" behind the success of Kendrick Lamar. I can't help experiencing that sort of "heard it all before" feeling in a Doobie Brothers-Stevie Wonder kind of way.

When We Rise
I had to search for it, since I didn't recall the specifics of the mechanism. The Wikipedia article seems well documented and more or less confirms your statement. Maybe is not as much a matter of the number of receptors as about their shape and affinity for the virus. I think your 100% top preference has been a determining factor for you weren't exposing potential skin or mucous wounds to the fluids carrying the viruses from your partner. It's possible you can get a blood test to know if you are a carrier of the CCR5-Δ32 mutation on your T-cells. These tests are much cheaper now.

When We Rise
Hugs, Steve. Living in fear is tough, but dying alone like a leper is worse. It speaks spades of you that you cared of your friends, and that you keep the memory of those days alive.

Formula 1 Thread
Mercedes said that the new car would be able to get an 5 seconds improvement average on most tracks, depending on how behave the new tyres. That will put a lot more of stress and difficulty on the drivers. I like the new looks, the McLaren seems very nice in orange. We'll see how they go. I try to keep expectations low, but I can't help being hopeful for an interesting season.

Well, actually chicharrones are more like these thick pieces of bacon slices (panceta) fried until they're crusty and crunchy. Those things that Al is eating are just "cortezas" it's the skinny part of the chicharrón, fried until it gets foamy and crunchy.
