  • I’ve always had issues with volume levels on Windows, so I stick with Equalizer APO for my solution now. Just set a preamp on the device in question and set it to a negative number that sounds and feels right, plus there’s a handy on/off for every setting you choose. Other people might have better options, but I’m lazy AF, and it works for me.

    Biggest thing I love that program for is setting a lowpass filter for my Bose, so that knocks in videos don’t sound like someone is knocking at my door, then just switch it back off when listening to or working with music. Great tool.

    Edit: you can have individual settings per device this way as well.








  • I was shoveling snow at work and heard a little tap on the glass door near where I had tools stationed. I didn’t think much of it aside from fluctuations from the sharp drop in temperature until I saw this little one just sitting on the ground when I went to shovel the other side. I put my hand down, and after seeing she wasn’t trying to escape, gently guided her onto my hand. After taking the picture for this post, I held the little one close to my chest in an area away from the wind - thinking maybe warming up could help her regain senses faster. We also have a lot of hungry seagulls scoping the area, so I wanted to protect the little nugget from becoming a snack until she was ready to go. After she started being more mobile, I walked out to an open area with a few trees and waited for the little one to fly off with an outstretched arm - which only took a couple minutes before fluttering to a nearby branch.

    It’s such a special moment for me, and I teared up a bit when she took off.
