<p>The newer Beyerdynamic models have detachable cables. They sell USB-C cables which i have not used but i am very content with the three out of the four pairs of cans i own by them. The pair i dislike are wireless ones. If you want em for music on the go i'd recommend the DT 700 Pro X.</p>

<p>> they last forever<p>Sadly have to disagree. I use Beyerdynamic though where you can order parts to repair em yourself, which i already did.<p>[edit] cannot recommend their wireless stuff produced in China, the worst i ever had. The big corded cans are still manufactured in Germany.</p>

<p>> the Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world.<p>Hm. In germany Catholic day care is funded by the state ie taxes by over 90%. Military chaplains 100%. Would be surprised if the difference is bigger in schools and hospitals. I heard that in France there is an actual separation of church and state and as a result the church is rather poor.</p>

<p>The article links to an article about Sagans' prediction of the decline of america. Strangely fitting nowadays.<p>> I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…<p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2025/02/carl-sagan-predicts-the-decline-of-america-unable-to-know-whats-true.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.openculture.com/2025/02/carl-sagan-predicts-the-...</a></p>

<p>> I'm not completely sure where that comes from - maybe an upbringing in a religious culture that emphasized humility?<p>Empasized humility or crushed any sense of self worth?</p>

<p>> a human may make an "(un)ethical" decision based on their social background, religion, a chat with a pal over a beer about the conundrum, their ability to find a new job, financial situation etc.<p>The stories they invent to rationalise their behaviour and make them feel good about themselves. Or inhumane political views ie fascism which declares other people worth less, so it's okay to abuse them.</p>
