  • I had this exact same situation. Bought a set of Bose sound sport, couldn't hear myself think if I was doing anything more than a brisk walk. Even walking around the house emitted a whistling in my ears. It was ridiculous. I Immediately took them back and bought some Jabra elite active 65t that were on sale.

    They're a bit quiet for my liking, but that's probably 'safe', or it might also be because of the 6mm X 5mm speakers (hence 65) being a bit small. It's been a few years since I made my purchase and I know they're up to an 85t now that a coworker bought a year or so ago and then may even have a newer, better product since then.

    I use them almost every day for at least a couple of hours. Battery life is good, about 4-6 hours and then the battery box gets me about 2 days. I've dropped the battery box and knocked the buds out of my ears many times. They may not be the best out there, but they've certainly done the job. I think it's been 4 years since I bought them and I'm unsure what I'd replace them with.

  • That's the way! I once did it in my cheap charcoal water pan smoker. First serve was ok, smokey as expected. But after it rested for a night the smokiness gave way to a much more beautiful rich taste. I don't really know how to describe it but it was a big hit with the family.

  • A friend shared a recipe with me almost identical to this years ago, but using white wine instead of red. I have cooked the recipe many times, usually just using whatever bottle is open in the house, and I enjoy enjoy that the wine can make such a significant difference in the taste.

  • Not once, but thrice this week I was accused of doing a dodgy repair, only to find the true cause of the failure was not only NOT the repair I'd done but the next weakest link in the machine, probably because I've repaired the previous one.

    I've been with the company for about 12 months now, I didn't sign on to maintenance, it's not in my contract, but it is in my contract to maintain production so it's just patch it up and keep the machines going. I have only the handful of tools I've personally brought in, I have no spares, no equipment and no budget to fund proper repairs or tooling. With that in mind, by my previous standards, the repairs are dodgy but they're far better than what's previously been done. The machines are in such a state of disrepair that I'm often just patching the patches... I honestly don't know how a company the size of the one I work for thinks that operating like this is ok.
