My GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can't imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws

Lost/reduced wages from time off work, and health insurance doesn't cover everything.

In my experience, the Mr. Clean ones hold up much better. Generic melamine sponges tear too easily.

But maybe I'm just getting the wrong generic ones. I've tried two or three different generic brands and they all sucked

I have a Mazda CX-5. The track seek buttons are counterintuitive IMO, and the Adaptive Cruise distance buttons are too.

Next track is UP, previous track is DOWN. Not like going down a list.

Adaptive Cruise control is UP to increase distance, DOWN to decrease. This seems like it would make sense, but I would prefer it the other way. UP to get closer, DOWN to pull back the distance

I've bought pretty expensive equipment, tube amplifier, many fancy headphones, optical DACs. A library full of FLAC files. I even purchased a $500 portable DAP. I've never been able to reliably tell a difference between FLAC and 320k MP3 files. At this point, it really doesn't concern me anymore either, but I at least like to see my fancy tube amp light up.

I will say, though, $300 seems to be the sweet-spot for headphones for me.

A long time ago when they used the 1-5 star system, I think it was

I get what you're saying, but color is weird. There's a specific term to describe colors that come from light sources, and colors that are a result of an object absorbing light. Brown is more the result of a lack of color

Don't take my image too seriously, it's incredibly cherry-picked and not meant to serve as some sort of debate point. Although it does look like a very light shade of brown IRL...
