Replacing Audiotechnica earpads

I bought some like new Audiotechnica ATH-M30 headphones for extremely cheap ($38) in 2014.

This post somewhat follows up on the tethering struggle. My mother also struggles to maintain connection on her cell phone in the upstairs bedroom.

Supercorp fanons

We start off episode 1 with emotionally constipated Kara once again. She gives the Final Fantasy characters' angst a run for their money. It is getting really, really old. If I wanted to watch breakup angst I'd watch shows with teenage main characters. It's not engaging to watch, she never…

Nobody questioned how out of touch with plebian reality Mon-El was? Did no one wonder "how is a royal guard unable to do any kind of work, like he's never had to for a single day in his life?"Kara is back to being chummy with AI mom despite the…
