My third pair of Bose headphones was the QC Ultra... and they've been infuriating.

90% of the time they work fine, but as I gather pretty much everyone experiences, they randomly go to sleep, even though I have on ear detection turned off. Basically if I'm wearing the headphones without any audio actively playing sometimes they will stay on, but then randomly every 5 minutes to 2 hours they will turn off... and occasionally they will turn off in the middle of me actively using them, which is unacceptable because I use them for work and having them cut off randomly while I'm on a video call is ridiculous.

Is this issue any better with the QC Ultra 2 or the regular QCs?

I had a bottle of Noodler’s Hunter green. It was amazing. Deep, dark, rich. And as a bonus if flouresces under black light. The perfect green for me in my Pilot Metropop. But then my pen took an accidental dive off of my fourth floor balcony.

I bought a Pelikan M205 EF to replace it, but it bled like crazy and was several shades lighter. I thought it was the pen for a while, but then I bought a new bottle of the same ink and it works like the old bottle did in the previous pen. When I switch back to the almost empty bottle it again bleeds like crazy and is lighter.

I don’t know what I did to ruin the original bottle of ink. I live in a humid place and it’s stored near a window

My friend says there's a tailgate at McNinch for the All Star game, but I can't find anything about it online. That's basically a commuter lot, I can't see how it's going to be empty at 4 pm on a Wednesday.

Anybody have any information about the tailgate?

Sorry this isn't strictly Charlotte FC related, but I'm hoping some local football fans will know where I can go hang out and watch the game with some Mexico fans. I suppose I could go to French Quarter, but I'm assuming there will be a lot of England fans there.

One free ticket in the 100 section with a slight catch.

My buddy who has season tickets with me is out of town and really wants the bobblehead from tonight.

If anyone is willing to brave the rain and get there early enough to get the bobblehead for him, you can have his ticket.

I live in an apartment with a lot of street noise outside. I like to leave my headphones on sometimes even if I'm not playing music, just to cut down on the noise.

My QC 35s worked fine for this purpose, but the QC Ultras cut off unpredictably every 10-30 minutes if there's nothing playing.

I'm guessing at this point there's no way around it because I have tried the "Auto-Off" setting at never and 24 hours, which makes no difference. I also tried turning off "On-Head Detection", but it still does it.

Any chance the QC or QC Ultra 2s would be suitable for this purpose?

Rachmaninoff by Noodler's was the most amazing experience; vibrant, neon pink with permanence and fluorescence... but only for one day until it dried to a crusty hard start and never flowed well again. I've tried it in a half a dozen pens, it's the same experience every time, glorious until the ink on the nib has been exposed to air for about 15 minutes, then it's unusable.

But I bought a whole bottle of it and I really like it.

I guess I could buy a glass pen. I'm willing to dip it. It's so amazing.

Any other ideas for how I can get some use out of this ink with incredibly good qualities, but just too dry.

I'm just a tad heart broken. It's the perfect ink... except for the whole b

In my daily bullet journal style notebooks I mostly use noodler's Baystate Blue, which works fantastically for my purposes. Dries quickly enough, and doesn't run if I get some water on it accidentally.

I'm looking for a similar black ink that is waterproof. I have Borealis Black by Noodler's, but it takes a million years to dry and gets really messy if any water gets spilled on it.

Any recommendations for a black ink that dries reasonably fast (really just not slow drying from a fine nib), but is very waterproof?

No team in MLS has ever lost a best of three first round playoff match by losing two home games.

We may have tied the record with 9 wins in a row, but this one is all ours!

And a very "Charlotte" type of achievement.

He maketh me cry out in the stands: he leadeth the Crown with clean sheets.

He restoreth our hope: he guideth the lines of defense for the city's namesake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the penalty shootout, I will fear no striker:
for Kahlina saves; his boot and his gloves, they stopped Messi.

He preparest a counter in the presence of mine enemies: he anointeth the bank with saves;
the table runneth over with points.

Surely clean sheets and beer showers shall follow the Crown all the matches of the season:
and we shall be victorious in the Queen City forever
