When I was a child: Rare to see a satellite pass overhead.
Early adulthood: Plenty of satellites and space junk to see.
Middle age: Rare to see a satellite that isn't Starlink.
Late life: Lucky to die of something other than being hit by space junk?

Bose has great noise cancellation tech. They should have stayed in their lane, though. I make good money repairing old Bose units so I can't be too sour on that front. B&O is for audiophools. Old-school B&O is pretty good, though.

Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Shure, Onkyo, Sansui, Pioneer, Sherwood, Marantz, classic Black Widow era Peavey, Sony, Klipsch, Polk, Thiel, Mission, and even Optimus/Realistic. I have my pick of the litter when I wear my Technician hat. I keep what sounds nice.

"If we did that, profits would go down! Call the lobbyists. Bribe somebody. Our retirement plans are in danger from people who shouldn't live long enough to retire without owing us their lives; and paying accordingly!"

On a regular basis, I see ads where they don't even tell you what condition the drug being advertised is meant to treat. Just the usual happy people doing life things while a voiceover tells you all the ways the drug can kill you, rape your dog and tell your kids Santa Claus isn't real. "Ask your doctor is Whatthefuckitrol is right for you."

Doctor: "No. Whatthefuckitrol is only for treatment of Ass Teeth."

Tell us how you really feel.

Samir: "There is nothing wrong with that name."

Translation: We fucked up so hard we violated Physics. The Dildo of Consequence would break Causality and create an Accountability Singularity that will destroy us all.

I remember when old ladies used to absolutely reek of rose oil.

And Mother Nature now, apparently. But it's okay. I'm sure she accepts Carbon Credits, right?
