If they're wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.

Otherwise for those of you at home:

What Are Open-Back Headphones?

The 6 Best Open-Back Headphones of 2025

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.

Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.

America's Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews

Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I'd also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you're looking for durability and food safety.

Good luck finding a parking space.

Average US parking space according to wikipedia is 8.5 to 9 ft wide. The Escalade IQL is 85 inches (7.1ft) wide with mirrors folded. That gives you 1.5 to 2 feet of space total (not on each side), so you'd probably have to trap your passengers just for the driver's side to get out in many situations like strip malls, movie theaters, hotels, parking garages that were designed for normal sized vehicles. (For comparison a Toyota Corolla is 5.8ft wide would have about 3 feet of space). Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

I cancelled my Kagi subscription as soon as they started rolling out their "AI" features.

Edit: Otherwise I was happy to pay a monthly fee for privacy respecting search. Now I use a mix of 4Get, SearXNG, Startpage

USB-C Swivel Cord - Fragile and breaks easily (infosec.pub)
 

This is a newer product on the market, its a great idea, where the USB-C plug can swivel. I assume their goal was to make it easier to charge your device while also using it, and to make the cable last longer. The swivel part is great when it works but it's super fragile and broke for me in two weeks.

[CAT] Consumer Action Taskforce - Halp build this wiki documenting anti-consumer practices (leminal.space)
 

Figured this would resonate with people here and have some overlap with this community.

"The idea behind this is that we want to log every single instance of a company taking part in one of these anti-ownership practices where they deceive you, where they take away your ability to have privacy, where they take away your ability to repair what you own, where they take away your ability to say you own what you own."

Time, Place, and Values: Adaptation as Process and Culture (www.youtube.com)
 

Climate change is commonly treated as a single, global problem that needs to be "solved." This mindset may have been appropriate in the past, but at 1.5°C above the preindustrial average, it's clear that we are not going to solve climate change. Everyone is going to live in a changed and changing climate for centuries to come. In this powerful keynote session, Spencer Glendon, founder of Probable Futures, will show how essential it is to make adaptation a priority and how doing so can lead to stronger institutions, healthier communities, better food, and even more effective decarbonization. Whether you are interested in housing, transportation, water, insurance, community organizing, fruit, or any other aspect of society, this session will give you frameworks, tools, and examples to help you see the world around you more clearly and make better decisions.
