Yeah it’s funny when you think about that. I tend to turn my stereo down in the truck approaching traffic lights, and try to be courteous to others. Then there’s the asshole on his Harley Davidson pulls up next to me blasting the Honkeytonk Badunkadonk turned up to eleven.🤣
Yeah, I know and it sounds like shit! Lol! Whatever floats their boat! I think AirPods were made for motorcycles in terms of sound quality!😁 but probably illegal!

Obviously, what impresses people when it comes to music is purely subjective!😍✌️
Very true.

I am a born, and bred, die hard metalhead, talking about being impressed by John Mayer and a bunch of elderly men playing Americana atm though.

That's gotta mean somethin!


Im an absolutely sucker for professionalism in performance and quality audio preproduction though. Straight up. Those tid bits are very objectifiable and fall far outside the realms of "taste" imho. A more professional performance is a more professional performance regardless of an observer's opinion, and better audio quality, is better audio quality regardless of a listener's ability to discern detail 🤙 💚 .



p.s. airpods dont actually sound absolutely terrible, but they definitely are not what i would even begin to call "quality" sound though lol. Its getting harder and harder to find truly transparent audio equipment these days across the board. If its not pop, or hip hop, pretty much any set of headphones you can buy from a walmart or phone store these days sounds pretty not great. A $40 set of semi open backs with generic 35mm drivers from amazon will blow them away in every possible metric, but you have to buy a damn type C external DAC and carry it around to even use headphones like that with a decent phone now a days, because nothing has a 3.5mm jack anymore, and everything is bluetooth, which in most cases cant even quite rock CD quality sound. Even the best lossless Bluetooth codecs top out at like 24/48khz and they ALL have aftermarket EQ's you cannot disable that only benefit hip hop and pop because you have to factory EQ the garbage drivers they use in all this crap to even be usable for music at all..

You can spend $5k on modern high end audio equipment, and still barely be on par with a poly film-capped 1970s silverface into some vintage AR towers you can throw together for like $300 from ebay/facebook. As far as the metric of "how much do i enjoy this sound" is concerned.

Spoken like a true indoor grower!😍😂🍻 hell I’m lucky to be able to hear anything! And grateful! And if I get to the point where music Bluetooth to AirPods from the phone out in the garden, doesn’t sound good, just shoot me!😂🍻

I’ve had that cd since 94. Haven’t seen the case since 94. 😂
You got a few hundred cds in binders like I do too 🤣
I use to take the album covers out of the plastic and recycle the cd trays and keep the covers, but I threw them away last time I moved.

I actually dont consider myself an indoor grower. Im far more an outdoor grower than indoor, outdoor is where i started, and where i get my best results.

And i definitely agree that airpods dont sound very good. Their best selling point is volume and noise cancelling, beyond that i have $15 headphones that sound better, tbh.

I definitely dont get to make any bubble from my indoor stuff, i spend all year looking forward to an outdoor harvest if i can make one happen just for that fine ass bubble

Especially on a solid season, outdoor flower > indoor flower, all day, every day, 100%. Indoor is more consistent flower, but ALL of my best flowers have all been outdoor grown. 100% of them. Every single clone i have right now is danker outdoors then indoors lol. I specifically choose my clone run phenos based on how well they do outdoors and indoors both.


My outdoor runs make my indoor runs look like an adorable little passion project at absolute most lol. Ive still actually yet to meet another private outdoor grower that honestly even begins to remotely approach the results i get growing cannabis outdoors literally anywhere from Arizona, to Kansas, to Michigan, to TN lol. If there was something i was born to be good at, its growing cannabis outdoors and playing a guitar.


Not to be a contrarian, but growing indoors is secondary to me as far as cannabis growing goes. So far it hasnt even mattered where i live either, ill select some phenos and adapt. Ive pulled dry pounds from environments i was told to not even bother lmao. Sonoran dessert, deciduous rainforest, ill grow in it effectively and succesfully.

I got tarded somewhere along the line and burned a bunch of cds that had skips and tossed the original disc. Tarded never go full tarded. I have the big life after death album that I bought the day it was released no case. The discs are backwards labeled. Disc 2 is actually disc 1 and vice versa. I didn’t even know until a few years ago. I never know names of songs- track 7 skip to 7.

There was a brief moment in time when I was putting my cd’s onto my ipod and I would notice that cd’s that were scratched and had skips somehow transferred perfectly to my iTunes library. My guess was that the iTunes library was pulling sound files from other accounts across the internet in this situation, otherwise maybe the laser reader in my computer wasn’t as sensitive as the one in my other cd players. I never figured it out and I had something ridiculous to the tune of 12,000 songs on my iTunes account which all disappeared when I trashed that desktop computer late one night when it shit the bed. A good right hook caved in the tower and sent it into the wall behind the desk it was on. Poor thing was dead before it hit the floor. I never replaced the computer and around the same time I bought my new 2012 Tacoma with satellite radio and all of a sudden twenty something years worth of cd’s became obsolete and cumbersome compared to satellite radio and then streaming services like pandora. I still have all the cd’s, and the iPod with the last playlist I downloaded. But besides my truck I don’t have a cd player, just a blue ray dvd player and a playstation 3. I won’t even mention all the vinyl I own from my days of Djing. I haven’t put a needle to the record since 2004. But still have all my gear.
