  • I am an evangelist for these. I have a set of the aftershokz and I wear them like a watch, always on my head. I do a lot of work in different kinds of factories, forges, power plants, etc which are all places earplugs are required. No big deal with bone conducting headphones, I can listen to my podcasts while I work. A bonus too is the kind I ended up with can connect to two phones, so my work phone and personal phone don’t need two different headsets. The only downside is when I have to take a flight somwhere they aren’t really loud enough to fight the sound of the plane so you have to wear earplugs. But the upshot is people generally leave you alone if yer wearing earplugs which is nice. I grab handfuls of them from our customers anyways so it’s double not a big deal.






  • I live one state to the east. Just the first cold place I could think of while being dramatic lol. I get the idea, I support the idea. I’d love to use my car as little as possible. But some of those c/fuckcars people have a very narrow idealist vision of the word they want to live in with little regard to how things need to work outside of their own bubble to keep that world working. The whole “electric cars aren’t to save the planet they’re to save the auto industry” sentiment is absurd. We have to make progress on this shit somehow. It’s like the idea that the whole world can be powered solely by wind and solar. That is absurd. Sure we can completely phase out fossil but jfc diversity is a necessity and putting ALL the eggs in the wind and solar basket is not a great idea.
