I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://www.rtings.com/headphones

They specifically analyze headphones for comfort and audio quality among many other qualities.

They have a table view mode where you can filter down to exactly what kind of headphones you are interested in buying and then make a selection from the results set.

I just purchased a pair of these a few weeks ago, and I love them: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/philips/fidelio-x2hr

I specifically filtered down to headphones with a low latency wired connection by adding a column to the table view, and I didn't need an included microphone.

If you must have a microphone included, the best headphones you can buy currently that have a low latency wired connection are the Astro A40's, but they had less than stellar treble I believe. Check the detailed review.

Funny, I always sang, "Wrapped up like a douche"

According to the top comment on YouTube:

Fun fact: Anthony Daniels wrote this spot after doing some other PSAs. He told them he'd like to do an anti-smoking one, and they said that if he wrote it, they'd shoot it.

Perhaps he felt guilty, and he didn't want kids following in his footsteps

There’s a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says “not from concentrate,” it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called “flavor packs.” Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!

I think they realized Bridget was hitting on them, and their original response completely ignored that.

A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

I looked into it, and apparently she spent months fighting with them to replace her wheelchair. In the meantime, she developed sores from being in a generic wheelchair, and she ended up needing two emergency surgeries, and either passed away due to complications, or due to the sores directly.

Kurabba, the #1 player in the world, beat Isai sending him to losers bracket 1-3. Isai turned on the heat and proceeded to steamroll the rest of the tournament and beat Kurabba 6-0 resetting the bracket and taking the championship! Truly the GOAT. His aggressive pikachu was amazing to watch.

I tried browsing this community and using https://fedi-search.com/, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know if it can? If not, are there other applications that can?

Jokes on us because in 15 years all the instances alive right now will probably be dead and there will be no proof beyond an archive lol

Lightning sprites

Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.

I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.
