Move to Belgium and get a whopping 0% capital gains tax


Advocate of the devil, but I've never replaced my earbuds / headphones because of the battery life. Usually one of them gets lost, or actually crushed and breaks.


I've had 2 sets of AirPods die because of the batteries aging and losing their ability to hold a charge. Though to be fair, their microphones failed much earlier then their batteries, and noise cancelling gets some really annoying failure modes when the microphone has issues. I should have replaced them sooner. I also should find a brand that doesn't have consistent manufacturing quality issues...


microphones have failed for me in the past as well, though to be fair, apple gave me a free repair for one issue on their end.


I have not yet had this issue because the ANC has improved enough with each generation that I wanted to move up before the batteries became unusable in my old pair. But I could see this changing in the future, as ANC levels out. Also, it's easier to avoid losing AirPods these days thanks to Find My, which can also now find in-case AirPods.

I am sorry, isnt this the post itself? Or am I missing something?


Mods merged comments from another thread that pointed somewhere else.


the tidal systems are insanely vast and powerful. the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun is so large that even if you deploy a massive amount of kits on a small surface, you're unlikely to have an impact on the tides. theoretically it's possible, but it'd require an implausible scale of deployment
