Excuse me? Maybe I should throw away something that works? Maybe I should embrace the new shiny shiny and feed the consumer monster? When my 10 year old wired headphones work fine.
The problem with bluetooth headphones is that you do not know what you are getting. Demo them at a shop all you want, but there is no way to tell how long a battery will be able to charge at full capacity or whether it will completely give up 1.1 years into the life of the device. Then you're shopping for headphones again. Wires are just far simpler, and I find you generally get what you pay for. Yes there are some cheap buds that break after a week, but buy anything over $20 and you will generally have them for awhile.
What about those like myself that go out of their way to get flac? Also, I don't pay a lot for headphones. We should compare bluetooth headphones at the $40 price point. The problem with bluetooth headphones is that you don't really know what you are getting. The battery may only last 1.1 years so I won't put too much money into it. Wired headphones I will put more money into, so compare at $80 wired.
No, he's bitching about being forced to add another series of compression to what he already has. It doesn't really matter what the quality is, how can adding another 5 layers of compression possibly be better?
Bluetooth headphones were made for making phone calls, not listening to music. Technically what you hear through them is not the music itself, but a compressed approximation of the music.
Basically the $5000 will cover a trip for you to come down to the city and have enough time for you to look for a suitable home. The move is on you. Whether a car costs $2500 or $1300 it's still a big portion of $5000.
And if you have a second vehicle? And the pets are being sent on the plane but someone needs to be at the other end for that and it is a five day drive?
I had to buy vmware fusion because while Virtualbox could run windows, even the UI interfaces of office applications were really bogging down. So.. if that slow video issue is fixed I would be interested in going back.
I guess that's fine, since you can trust your supermarket not to give you the worst of everything. Where I live, people have been trying those kinds of online services for 20 years and they never have any success. One time I came at the agreed on pickup time and had to wait 1 hour for my gorceries. Amazon, not sure if I would trust them either.

It depends whether you went out of your way to get lossless or not. I generally use flac for the best stuff myself.
Well unless you know what is better, the phone or bluetooth, why add a guaranteed bottleneck?
...and the fact that the battery now has a lifetime/maximum charges.
If that's what you like to tell yourself.
You know you aren't supposed to be sticking paper clips in there, right?
No, he's bitching about being forced to add another series of compression to what he already has. It doesn't really matter what the quality is, how can adding another 5 layers of compression possibly be better?
One bottleneck is better than five.

You didn't cite your reference, but you didn't say how many pounds of stuff $4300 will include.
When I looked at UHaul it was almost as expensive per pound. Furthermore I wouldn't get a crew to load a truck for me.

That's with no personal possessions. No pets, only one vehicle.
Just moving one vehicle can be $2500.
And $5k is nothing if you have a family.
Not to mention, pay at least $7K to "move where the jobs are".
...but that's their fault because they're far too lazy to pay for an education.

Uh, no there was a company called Peachtree that had a website and worked with grocery stores around 20 years ago.
Ok but these companies should explain exactly how the improvement is going to happen because right now they are nowhere close.

Now corporations own the streets and, oh, the right to conduct a homicide. Wonderful, part of making America great again!
