Reply to TIL over the course of his 23 published adventures, Herge's Tintin was knocked unconscious 43 times. Between 1929 and 1973, he was hit with a rake, a brick, a whisky bottle, an oar, a giant apple, a camel femur, a block of ice, and countless punches and clubs. by morerubberstamps

Definitely something I've thought about while watching more tin tin with my little boy over the past few months.

Given how often he is knocked out...he is the absolute champion of recovery from being concussed.

don't waste your money going 'up the ladder', unless you have a lot of money to waste.

The differences are so small, despite the hyperbolic adjectives used to describe them, that the money is much better spent on better headphones/iems, or on something productive in your life.

As for Tidal, it wins for me because it has the best artist payout, especially with the 10% to the artist you listened to most for each month (~$2). It is still pitifully small, but much more than others are doing.

This. Very well put.

I have put lots of extra money on top of getting nice headphones into gear like DAC/amp, partly because people said it would make a huge difference.... And it makes a difference, but rarely worth the money, and never anything close to what people say when they are gushing over the skiing of some new or different gear.

Be smart with your hard earned money, Buy some decent headphones in your desired budget, and enjoy your music collection.
