How antibiotics are forced on you ‘You could die’ After all the needless catheterising and unnecessary treatment.

  To connect, I had to use my audio usb c adaptor To transfer files I had to install and update itunes and sign in multiple times/authenticate devices to use the ipad. Finally I had to transfer to the pages app folder and transfer out to other folders. It can’t transfer folders only files. There is no special audio player so you can only do one thing at a time. Pdfs can be viewed by files app but epubs need books app. Mobi etc need kindle app. No microsd slot is a downside as well.

  ‘An American holding a beer aloft and roaring with laughter looks as natural as a Japanese does dangling a camera and bowing. Some of the customers around us smiled. Japanese always have a favorable impression of people from overseas who seem to be having a good time. The foreigner’s enjoying himself, so maybe old Nippon isn’t so bad after all, in fact maybe this is a world-class bar, and we drink in places like this all the time, so maybe we’re happier than we realized, is how the reasoning goes.’ ‘I haven’t seen much really good furniture in my life, but I know crappy stuff when I come in contact with it because it brings me down. Yet the sofas and tables matched the two ladies across from us so perfectly that I found myself coming up with a new proverb: The ghosts of sad, cheap souls live on in sad, cheap furniture. Maki carried a Louis Vuitton purse. It didn’t suit her, but I couldn’t blame her for trying.’ ‘Because Frank’s thigh was pressed right up against mine, part of...

  “Define life for me—in just a word or two.” “I don’t know about life,” he replied, “but the world’s nothing but sex and greed.” sex and Power and money. Only the law profession has any control over these vices. Dazai Osamu has revealed much in his autobiographical writings?

Although some may argue that one cannot predetermine and give up options.  There is the smart person who will not need to try out. Based on past and present indicators they can accurately predict the outcome – if in doubt, say no. there is no easy money or jobs in life, at least until you get through some door. Even then you may stay stuck in one state forever. The process before one gets stuck is quite important. No need to compare. All is a story. Circumstances, timing etc was all different for them. They lead a different life. I have my own things to achieve. Radically different and far more challenging.

  The successful and helpful families are not us. But as an ideal it is sth we still try to live up to. They are certainly rare. But if each member is extremely able and smart, it is easily possible. But applying this to our situation, it is plain that although some people have some brains – though not all – and certainly insufficient to prevent disaster alone because those around her (basically me, though in the past there was more and also virtually too) are crap. Either I become smart and dispel the past precedents of having people predict the worst possible scenario, or we must all keep away from each other, and I live a repeat of grandpa’s not knowing how to live properly life. Alone, there is no right or wrong, and anyway, even if one tries hard there is little good to come of it anyway. If not that mistake then there’ll be another mistake. Anyway, life is hard sums it up nicely, and life is evil, and to dream and plan on paper is to prepare for failure. There is no absolut...

  Without a job – income, driver’s license, good fitness/health, good grades, and the ability to take action with consistently successful outcomes – DIY/repairs and renovations etc, it is not acceptable for me to BUY a property. Even renting requires demonstrable job and ID… Get real!

  When I moved to adelaide, And lost so much money I knew the resentment Would only build I want to be rich I want easy money But money is only as good as what you spend it on Wasting it would mean it wasn’t required in the first place

  Firstly, having heard Ohtaki’s Long Vacation Koisuru Karen in 360 audio of youtube, I have found it is less impactful, the sound is somewhat distant, and a surround effect is created, but not very pleasantly. Perhaps I would use the VST plugin to create my own mastering, rather better than what Sony Tokyo studio can do. Overall, the DSD based SBMD version remains best. I surmise that the 360 version is remastered based on the DSD. The CD ver reveals enough details, without even needing to go surround in a fake way. So I am not impressed. The in the head effect is lessened, but with detriment to sound quality. Further, most people won’t have the surround systems for 360 anyway. This could overlap with DSEE AI, in that an automatic conversion into surround sound is possible. What happened to binaural recording, which Xperia once pushed via the earphone mics? Why go back to a traditional format, and compete with Atmos?

  The only book I had in my bag that day was a supplementary reader for our school textbook, Japanese Language and Literature. I reluctantly pulled it out and started flipping through the pages. I wasn’t what you’d call a reader, who goes through books systematically and attentively, but more the type who finds it hard to pass the time without something to read. I could never just sit, still and silent. I always had to be turning the pages of a book or listening to music, one or the other. When there was no book lying around, I’d grab anything printed. I’d read a phone book, an instruction manual for a steam iron. Compared with those kinds of reading material, a supplementary reader for a Japanese-language textbook was far better. I randomly flipped through the fiction and essays in the book. A few pieces were by foreign authors, but most were by well-known modern Japanese writers — Ryu ˉ nosuke Akutagawa, Junichiro ˉ Tanizaki, Kobo Abe, and the like. And appended to each work — a...

  Recorded and mastered with SEQUOIA 15 at 24 bit 44.1kHz using a Sony 20Hz-20kHz electret condenser microphone paired with the ubiquitous Apple iOS/iPadOS USB-C to 3.5 mm jack adaptor (Cirrus Logic CS46L06-C1WZ chip) . This recording utilises the Sony Super Bit Mapping noise shaping processor to maintain dynamic range via the proprietary SBM loudness curve. SBM

  Few people travel a lot and require DAPs, in countries like Australia. The market for portable audio is small, given that devices are saturated in most households, and the technology itself is as well. However, a love of comparing and considering codec chips like CXD9872, ALC889DSD, ALC1220, and S-Master, AKM, ESS, Cirrus Logic, Qualcomm is found in some audiophiles. The dual DAC boom is a result of LG’s quad DAC history with ESS. Since the chips are not mono, there is no need for dual codecs. DSD recording has never appeared since ALC889DSD ceased circulation. We understand that DSD format alone cannot guarantee good quality. The mics and rec technology are prioritised over the format. For non-portable audio, AKM chips were used in Z1 rather than S-Master, meaning that there is no ‘best’ codec to use. Personally I might prefer IDT… It could be said that implementation is key to the sound. Cirrus is simple, ESS is complex. Cirrus’ CS43131 descended from Wolfson tech i...

  Of days long gone Healthy happier times, as the past always appears Material wealth richer in the present Beautiful memories forever out of reach Moments captured in time melancholy Was that me; is that you Every instant so many masks so many eyes The real eye is a solitary lone wanderer in life If paths cross we will not collide Need not think what you are now Change for good or worse but unrelenting change Do I need stride alongside to keep up I ask No leave me alone it is my profession You are in search of a ladder an easy way up Build your own I cannot help Stop slipping down the snakes first Give up your childish dreams and see your mundane existence Find the yellow brick road and feel the emptiness limitless possibility Nobody’s path need cross the world exists in you Happiness has no separate existence it’s in you Nothing surprises anything is possible Nature’s laws defiled and defied To communicate with the whole world Not a b...

  ‘You’re a very special person. That’s what Ma always used to say, but I couldn’t see what was so special about me. I wasn’t good at anything. In middle school I couldn’t do a single chin-up. I can’t swim. I’m nearsighted. I had more than a dozen private tutors and they all quit. I’ve got a sweet tooth … I felt sorry for Ma. She put up with everything my father did and never said a word, just went on mixing medicine all day. I felt sorry for her, but she was too ugly to love. Maybe I hated her. Maybe I hated her even more than him. It’s people like her who make things miserable for everybody around them, just suffering on and on. If you ask me, people who suffer all the time shouldn’t even be allowed to live.’ ‘Anyone who’s had a visit from them has discovered an important fact about life: namely, that misery grows up all by itself, in a hidden place, without your even being aware of it, and then one day, suddenly, it knocks on your door. Happiness is just the opposite. Happines...
