Google it. It's on her Twitter account. She said it but she recently apologized and said she got it wrong.
Look up Woodruff's Twitter account, her statement is on there. The conversation may very well have happened but Woodruff admits there's no reliable source.
Are they weirded out that he didn't beat her like a conservative man would if his wife did that? And are they going to pretend there aren't countless women fed up with their manchildren conservative husbands?
Agreed. I also do the same thing for my radio equipment and electronics in general-- all in compartmentalized, clear bags with printed labels on them. I always thought label makers were expensive but I bought a $20 handheld label maker + 3rd party tapes and it's amazing how good this thing is. It's really helped me stay organized.
This way I basically have an inventory that is easily accessible by friends and family, like a shared inventory. The initial process of labelling, zip tying, bagging and boxing everything... That admittedly took a few days of work because I wanted to find and sort every cable/most small electronics, but after that? Smooooth sailing.
Not sure why people are downvoting you. I searched your claim and am surprised to see that yes you are right-- Judy Woodruff apologized for her statement last night and essentially retracted it. When you're right, you're right.
For anyone doubting, search it up yourself. I'm on my garbage phone and it takes too long to link stuff nicely on here.
They don't last as long and have less charge cycles, but IIRC they have a larger charge capacity. Eneloop white batteries have 4x more recharge cycles than the Eneloop black batteries. Hard to justify larger capacity (2550 mAh for black, 2100 for white) at 1/4 of the lifespan/charge cycles.
Some people use them for specific things like gamepad controllers (i.e. X-Box/Playstation controllers) because you're less likely to have interruptions but personally, I just change batteries when I dip below 30%. I keep 4 spare AAs in a charging cradle (La Crosse Technology, apparently they don't make chargers anymore which came as a huge surprise because they were THE battery charger back in the day 🤓). I use a program on my PC for keyboard macros that has an additional feature displaying gamepad battery percentage and I find it far more accurate than the native app or alternatives.
To me it's like having a 16 gal gas tank and some guy tries to tell you he can swap it out for a 20 gal gas tank, but then you find out the "upgrade" has 1/4 of the lifespan because it's far more likely to corrode. Not worth the tradeoff for the vast majority of drivers who can simply fill up a little more often.
It's a gimmick to basically upsell people an additional battery type that in fairness to Panasonic is literally right on the packaging (2100 vs 500 charge cycles) but unless you're actively comparing charge cycles between battery types, which the vast majority of people buying batteries aren't paying attention to because they (reasonably, IMO) assume all AA batteries have a similar life cycle/capacity these days, it's hard to notice the above differences that I pointed out. So a lot of people buy the white, then the black thinking "ooOoOO Pro edition = better", only to find out 2+ years later that their black batteries are dead while their white batteries keep chugging along.
I know that's a super long winded explanation but I think it's good to explain all this. I mostly recommend Eneloop whites because I'm not a big fan of waste, battery waste in particular, so I think that if someone has to use batteries then it makes sense for them to use the ones that are reasonably priced and will last far longer than any other battery. That said, the price of them definitely has gone up over the years, though that applies to most things.
The problem is once you really experience and notice high quality it’s hard to go back
I can't stress how true this is
That being said, unless you’re immunocompromised there’s not much to worry about with covid variants right now
There's still many short and long term effects from COVID that people who aren't immunocompromised should be concerned about. Also, lack of ingress protection is a moot point if both parties are wearing masks though, right? Which is precisely why mask mandates make sense.
Eneloop batteries (the white ones, not the black ones) are the best AA and AAA batteries out there for sure. Panasonic sells a package of Eneloops with a charging device that accepts both AA and AAA batteries, it's very good. Can be charged via USB and can also charge other devices, it's the kind of device I dreamed about in the 90s.
I think you're underestimating peoples' ability to filter out the massive amount of garbage results/astroturfed reviews/posts/websites out there.
I do value high fidelity media, but frankly I can't say that I notice a difference between say, 320 kbps mp3 audio and FLAC audio-- and yes I have a nice DAC + headphones so there's no bottlenecks. I used to have all my music as FLAC files but these days I don't have the $$$ to buy more storage so I find myself converting everything to 320 kbps MP3 files and I'm okay with that.
For movies, I've only got 1080p monitors + a 720p projector so for the most part I just download 1080p movies. I burn movies and TV shows to Blu-Ray discs so for some S-tier stuff I'll download the 4K release and burn it to a BD-R in hopes that someday I can afford 4K and all the damn PC hardware upgrades that's going to require. But I'm in no rush, 1080p is fine by me and 720p on the projector is great.
I'm into photography, and I'm like you when it comes to lenses. Quality > quantity, any day of the week. I'd much rather choose a nice 40mm prime lens over a 17-70mm lens with mediocre glass.
My friends are kind of like yours but they know that when they want something of high quality, they can ask me and I'll gladly do the research then give them several options. I really enjoy well-made products and I despise poorly-made products so much. As a result, I'm finally at that point in my life where quality purchases I made 15+ years ago are still working great and it feels good.
That said, I do try to keep my purchases to a minimum because it's way too easy to fall for marketing + consumerism.
Cracks me up that it took Lego several years to barely scratch the surface of your well-made point. This is what happens when you have a male dominated corporate world and and you know when they hire women, they're either hiring women who will agree with them or they're not actually listening to the women that disagree with them.
