I am very glad to be in my new house, but I am not sure I ever appreciated how much my former neighbors did NOT use power tools.

I can't even figure out what it is. A chainsaw? Weed eater? Someone drilling directly into my front lobe with a jackhammer?

Oh christ on a cracker.

MsHearthWitch,
@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@westerling Yeah, ironic considering that I moved out of my old place in part because I didn't want to live there with renos/power tool noise.

@MsHearthWitch

Unrelatedly, II Most Wanted is such a great song.

@westerling One of my favs on the new album.

I'm also in LOVE with Texas Hold 'Em

@MsHearthWitch

Yeah and Blackbiird, and Daughter, particularly when she sings Caro Mio Ben.

It's all so great, though.

That part where she goes, "Look at that horse, look at that horse, look at that horse" 😆

@westerling The whole album is just incredible. (I'm tempted to use that bit as the background music for a social media reel at work, lmao)

@MsHearthWitch

That would be appropriate!

MsHearthWitch,
@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@westerling It would! Haha, I just need the right animation to go with it!

@MsHearthWitch oh no! sounds like my neighbors! hope you have some ANC earbuds or earphones

MsHearthWitch,
@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@dyani If it becomes a regular thing, yeah I'm gonna have to look into something.

It's hard because I have ear issues, so anything that creates a seal on the ear tends to give me ear infections :(

@MsHearthWitch oh drat. I would hope over-ear headphones could be safer for that. I personally can't stand the pressure on my head for those so I have to do earbuds. So I hope you aren't the same!

MsHearthWitch,
@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@dyani I use "on ear" but no pressure headphones at my PC.

Basically two very small discs that just rest on my ear, held on by a small loop that goes over the ear. It's the most comfortable solution I've found but it's not at all noise cancelling.

@MsHearthWitch Ew. Here they're into leaf blowers. Horribly noisy if gas powered.

@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@Byronrabbit It's not really the right season for a leaf blower, unless they're blowing sakura petals maybe? Idk. It went on for ages. If I close the window I don't really hear it, but the house gets stuffy when I do :(

At least they've stopped now.
