What recipe did you use? I just used water, flour (whole wheat), a pinch of cardamom, 1/4 tsp cane sugar, and yeast.
I bought some Gold Rush sourdough starter from a local store. Mineās been going for about six to eight months now.
I funded some nekomimi (cat ear) headphones over a year ago, and they came today! Iām charging them now.
Edit: Now that theyāve finished charging Iāve had a chance to play with them. The external speakers (the cat ears) sound pretty good for something their size. The volume controls work for the external speakers, not so much for the headphones themselves. The headphones are a bit heavy on the bass, but otherwise sound pretty good. Iām going to have to test the battery life with the lights on vs. with the lights off. The battery is supposed to have up to a five hour life, but I assume that would be less if I use the external speakers and the lights.

Aaand my new AxentWear headphones are defective. I think thereās a loose connection in there someplace, since the right headphone will cut out, but with some jiggling will come back. Then it cuts out again. I should have a return label sometime next week, and a replacement in about a month. 
Headphones are such a tough item to shop for these days as itās so hard to find ones built to last (see: Arenāt plastic.)
The wiring being bad is rough. Sorry to hear that. My problem usually ends up being the headband breaking due to normal use. They build them for Pinky, but I have the head of a Brain.
I often find it entertaining that in order to adjust for larger heads, the earphones just adjust the speakers lower on the head, putting more pressure on the band itself. Sorry, my head is wider, not longer. My ears arenāt at my jawline.
I donāt have the opposite problem, but Iām small, or would be if I werenāt over weight. I often find headphones fit me just about perfectly when theyāre on the smallest adjustment. What I have problems finding are motorcycle gloves, though. X-smalls leave me with about half an inch of empty glove at the end of each finger.

Heh, because of all the āmid priceā headphones all turning into different Dre copycats, Iāve actually kept using a pair of Ā£17 Panasonicās that I bought in 2008 for an emergency university audio editing deadline situation. They werenāt the best I could have bought for under Ā£20 back then, but now, listening to the awful cans in the shops, I think my cruddy old Panasonicās sound better than anything in the Sub-Ā£60 category, let alone the Sub-Ā£20.
Everythingās about the bass. Even if you specifically ask for headphones designed for a good rock tone you get a set of cans that canāt provide any sort of clarity in the mid-range at all, itās an awful combination of tinny highs and ridiculously over the top bass that isnāt even defined all that well besides its ability to go BWOOM.
Iām not being snobby over music genres. I listen to a range of things, from the odd classical hit thru punk rock thru death metal thru industrial thru electro soā¦ yeah. The one uniting thing for all those though is their total lack of requirement of BWOOMability in headphones.

I love my sol republic headphones. All three failure points, cable, headband, and cans, are individually replaceable. Iāve replaced the wire once, replaced and upgraded the cans once, and Iām still on the same headband.
Good sound, comfortable, and I donāt have to replace the whole thing if something goes wrong.
Both my kids have Koss Porta-Pros. They sound good and have a generous lifetime warranty. Send them in any shape with few dollars for return shipping, and they send them back fully repaired or replaced. Which reminds me, both pairs need to be sent in for repairs.

GameStop was running a deal where I also got a free controller and game in addition to everything else. Picked up The Witcher III to play once Iām done with Fallout 4. Back to Game Stop tomorrow to pick up aforementioned Fallout 4. Been playing Halo 4 in the meantime since I never played it on 360.
Nice! I got mine earlier this year, before the 1TB version was announced. It would have been nice to get double the space, but Iāve enjoyed it. I may end up connecting an external drive to bump up the storage space.
I have a set of Sennheiser HD280 cans in about 2007, which cost me an arm and a leg at the time.
I bought them for use with my digital piano, and they are excellent. Very clear mid-range, not (overly) harsh in the high and the bass is responsive without being overbearing. I compared them to a friendās AKG 900 series set of about the same vintage, and the Sennies were a lot warmer and pleasant to listen to.
The only thing about them is that they are closed-back design, which means you canāt hear much else when youāve got them onā¦ but thatās OK with me.
