Not for me either. ANC gives me the feeling of holding a sea shell to my ear which makes me nauseous. My favorite headphones are still the Sony MDR-1A. I can wear those for 10 hours straight without issue.

If anyone is curious, I looked up how bison farms could be considered carbon negative, and it appears to be because of their grazing habits (they produce roughly the same methane as cows, but they don't overgraze, which helps plants gr

My high school had a comp sci class (this was 1997, so only the 2nd year they offered the class). My father did some programming when he was younger and suggested that I take it. The class taught Turbo Pascal, which can be a little difficul
