When I was still at university (20+ years ago) a girl asked my to help her figure out why her Internet in her dorm room wasn't working. My first question was "is it plugged in?" She said it was, so that evening I went to her room to check it out. First thing I did was find the end of her network cable and plug it back into her computer. When I pointed out that she had said it was definitely plugged in she responded with "I thought you meant the power cable". I almost pointed out that if the power cable was not plugged in then I'm pretty sure she would not have been complaining that the internet was not working but at this point it was obvious that she was just using her "computer problems" to get me to come to her room and that she was the one that unplugged the cable. The most ridiculous part is that all she had to say was "hey, you should come to my room" and I would have happily obliged.
The theory that I heard that made the most sense is that he thinks by renaming it he can circumvent the Biden ban on new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
We were setting up for a concert one time and I was helping the FOH engineer (sound guy) check all the instrument/mic lines. One of the instruments was a Moog synth. I started randomly playing it (I do not play piano or synth) so he could check it. After a couple of seconds he said something about me playing a song and I told him I had never heard of it. Apparently I had accidentally played the opening of a song he really liked.
For the use case scenario OP described I definitely agree that musicians plugs are the way to go. These Etymotics are what I use as my backups if I don't have my custom molds with me.
I got my custom molds for concerts from an audiologist, all in they were $150 and well worth every penny. Also, because they are for work, they got written off on my taxes.
My wife texted me earlier saying it was a good thing I was out of town. Hers said it was currently 118° with a high of 124°. It barely got into the 60s today.
My 2023 Mazda has a touch screen but you never actually have to touch it. In fact, they put it far enough away that it is difficult to touch while driving and disable the touch when the car is moving. There are knobs and buttons in-between the front seats that control it. Also none of the important stuff is controlled through the infotainment system, it is just settings, satnav, and radio (or Android Auto/carplay). Not having to interact with a touch surface while driving is one of my favorite features of my car, and there are a lot of other things that I love about it too.
