She buys everything with her own money as I could never afford to keep up with her spending! I do pretty well but shes in another planet! Think the movie Notting Hill and that would be pretty accurate. LolOohhhh, that's a KEEPAH!!!
I'd be bit concerned about her taste in designer stuff, but hey, you will just work more, no biggy...
Agreed as even within the prestige bags brands, the “entry level/base” versions are almost frowned upon vs the their upper end versions. There have been many articles written about the high return on investment of high end bags. My GF has had bags double in value within a year because they were so rare and in demand.
High end stereo, is that still a thing with the streaming music business through your phone or computer? I know that I can connect my laptop to an amplifier and push the music through some speakers. But the music data files are not anything that special that you need sophisticated equipment.When I worked at a high end stereo store, it was comical how often we would swap out stereo components while the “wife was at yoga” or would make up fake cheaper receipts on paper(actual receipts would be done on the computer system) for the husbands to show their wives. “It was only $500 for those speakers honey”
Was with a female customer one time and someone was asking for a “fake receipt” for his wife and my customer laughed as she sold very expensive cookware that average $5k plus for set(15 years ago) and she did fake receipts for the wives! “These pots only cost a few hundred dollars honey”
haha
Music files are now available for downloads that have higher resolution than even cds have, so there’s actually an even larger need for high quality DA(digital to analog) converters in your music streamers.
I like good quality music and the majority of my collection is saved as FLAC files. But I haven't had a dedicated speaker system since I got married (unrelated to the marriage, it's simply the same time as when we moved a couple times in a summer before buying our house). I now mostly listen via bluetooth in my car or bluetooth earbuds. Which does not do full justice to the music cause of the limitations in bluetooth bandwidth.. oh well. I just really like the convivence of wireless now.
The SkiTalk sticker looks great! So glad you’re enjoying them! I sort of missed them, then I bought the Sideral/Blossom Whiteout which has a similar flex.
My idea of a handbag is a small Patagonia backpack.

I can cast mp3s from windows media player on my computer to my receiver (denon) on the home network and play music that way. This uses the wifi connection, not bluetooth. It sounds pretty good to me! I have no idea if the sound card plays any role in this process. All my CDs were ripped to mp3 format and fit on a thumbnail size flash drive (128GB capacity on that drive).
Last post that’s not ski gear buying related!
Wish the NSSRA wasn't so tight with the list. I've found last year's list with the exception of Elan online, but then found Elan's current list in their tech manual. Actually, I wish the manufacturers would make their own lists readily available and undercut the NSSRA.
Yeah -- the supercapacitor based system made the most sense to me as a non-engineer. The same travel/reuse advantages other battery/fan based systems like the Black Diamond. But with lighter weight and no impact of the very cold.
