Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X Review
--Intro
Is there any class of audio products in the world that is less “audiophiley” than gaming headsets? Anything farther from being high-fidelity than a combination of bloated bass, cheap plastic and atrocious looks? By default, the answer to both of these questions is no.
But every once in awhile a new adventurer sets out on an epic quest to destroy the evil Bad Rep of Headsets. The name of our latest hero? Mas...

Do not buy FOUR binders at a $19.95-$25.00 price point on Amazon or eBay! They are all counterfeit binders made in China! Check the reviews on the FOUR 2.0 on Amazon. Many people, including myself, received a shoddily made knockoff from an Amazon third-party seller. The counterfeiters went to great lengths to copy the packaging and style of the FOUR, but only with the lowest quality materials. The pages are miscut, do not hold sleeved cards, tear...

Black Bean Salad:
A mexican-style black bean salad using fresh ingredients. I usually make this for lunch, but it can also be used as a dip for parties. Fair warning: I really like vinegar, so I usually put in a little more.
Ingredients:
1) A cup of black beans (preferably dried, but pre-cooked is fine)
2) a cup of corn ears
3) 1 medium avocado
4) 2 medium tomatoes
5) 3 jalapenos (increase or decrease per your heat tolerance)
6) 1 red bell pepper
7) 1 tb...

I don't know if you ever found a good ink for document signing and such, but you might want to look into Noodler's Black and Noodler's X-Feather. Both work well on more absorbent papers, particularly X-Feather. Also, both inks are permanent when used, Black more so than X-Feather.
There are some other good bulletproof inks out there that I just haven't tried, and some of them come in colors other than black. I don't have a Pelikan pen in my collec...

I've actually never burned my fingers while doing that with a glass or ceramic V60. They probably do get hotter, but to me the main reasons for not using plastic is that unless you've used the dripper a lot already, plastics will vent that "plastic smell" which I believe to be VOCs, but I could be wrong. This effect is further exaggerated when the plastic is heated, which causes a sort of off-odor and off-taste to your coffee. But then again, I b...

To be clear, I live in a city, so would definitely have to disable the motion detector. However, it frustrates me that couriers sometimes claim to have missed me when they don't leave a door tag and there's no evidence they even rang the door bell. I'd love to be able to look at a video of every single person who rang my doorbell all day to prove that the couriers aren't doing their job. Of course, I probably can't *do* anything with that inf...

I agree with most of the others. The stand is a joke. We're not talking about tight tolerances here... just a simple round hole that is deep enough to prevent the locks from rattling around. I simply don't understand how that got overlooked. Obviously it wasn't overlooked and they just didn't care which is worse.
Moving on to the locks - I have a teeny tiny bit of experience playing around with a cheap pick set and whatever old locks I would fi...

8K is gonna be a while, Japan is angling for the first major 8K broadcast later this year (baseball IIRC). The vast majority of high end digital cameras in use by movie studios today are 6.5k at best. This is the first olympics to be shown in 4k and that's an event where a lot of money is invested by various parties in the chain. These panels are always stupidly expensive because they are sold in such low quantity. It's my belief that it will...

It is definitely Damascus over a vg10 core. Obvious in the pics and with a little digging on the manufacturers site : http://www.chroma-cutlery.com/haiku-damascus
The rest is all marketing BS
I don't personally know anything about these particular knives, but based on the examples they chose to use for their product images I wouldn't even think about buying one
The "chef knife" is tiny!! The profile is one big curve, no flat in the belly for decent...
