And you would expect a transit app for the commuter rail.

You would not expect that to be a good app.

It's a fantastic app.

The design of it is excellent.

It's highly functional.

I'm so impressed by the MTA Train Time app.

It is way better than both it needs to be and that you would expect it to be.

This is actually probably going to disappoint you.

I also, for podcasting, what I'm wearing right now is, for what I've used for a very long time, the Beyerdynamic DT770.

I use the 250 ohm version because it comes with a coiled cable.

And I find coiled cables for desk use are far superior to straight cables because you don't have a whole bunch of excess dangling everywhere.

That's the whole point of the coil is like, you know, you can be like close to the thing and it just rests on the desk.

But if you want to like, you need to like lean back or turn around and get something behind you, the coil will just stretch a little bit and then go back.

That's why phone cords back in the day were all coiled because it allows you movement flexibility without having a whole bunch of excess dangling all the time.

So at a desk, I find that very valuable.

Yeah.

They, you know, with desktop headphones, everything is very comfort dependent and it varies by person.

Like, you know, different shaped heads, different preferences, you know, whether you wear glasses or not.

And this gets me to my other point in a minute.
