pretty quiet week this week if you ignore whatever the hell is going on with our bathroom toilet, which has a diagnostic issue we can't troubleshoot and which has flooded once this week. calling maintenance once again to see if we can figure this out so i don't have to plunge every third time we flush (ironically it'd be way easier if we just had to plunge every time--but it's the times we don't that make this extremely bizarre)

I'm tired.

Stuff like this makes me feel it would be cool to organise a local "stuff club", where people would bring things for others to try out.

That alone isn't going to motivate many to bother, but there could be a sell/exchange/donate facility, in lieu of using eBay or Freecycle, and so less stuff ends up in drawers unused.

Guess it could hook in with local Makerspaces, tool libraries such as Men's Sheds, or even regular libraries. If in alliance with Makerspaces, repair & modification sessions would be a cool extension.

Ostensibly harder in smaller towns & in rural areas, but with less access to lots of physical stores, perhaps more demand for it?

They are absolutely not cheap, but they are the last pair of headphones you'll ever buy. When you hear the sound quality you'll wonder how you ever lived without them:

I couldn't disagree more. I have the momentum 2 and paid 500 euro for it. Long story short don't buy anything from Sennheiser they are not the same company any more. Planned obsolescence.

Super appreciate the response. Unfortunately, they're not available where I live and buying from Amazon would be incredibly expensive with import duties and what have you.

Still, thanks for the recommendation!
