I used hair elastics, based on a repair tutorial I found on Youtube; let me see if I can find it.

I have a set of nearly-10 year old Q701s (same headphones, just lime green and branded Quincy Jones)
Other than the elastic suspenders weakening (looks like yours did the same; they all do!) and the plastic sliders cracking, they've been great. I replaced the elastics and the pads, but I wish the sliders were easy to do.
As a Canadian, I can say with certainty: check eBay, they’re usually listed for a lot less.
At this point, it's just virtue (vice?) signalling.
To be a good member of the right-wing-nutjob club, you have to know all the shibboleths: anti-climate change, vaccine denialism, performative bigtory, anti-urban, performative environmental abuses, transphobia, etc. Tribalism is fundamental to human psychology, and--despite people bitching about purity tests on the left--the right has been purity-testing it's members, purging non-conformers and othering enemies for a while.
Poillevre knows he must go all-in, lest he be replaced by someone with even less shame.
I disagree.
Jail the CFO and COO too. Maybe the veep of HR while we're at it.
It's about momentum.
Fascists understand PR, and that if they get enough of these "wins against woke" in the zeitgeist, the idea that society is more conservative become the dominant episteme.
They see, quite clearly, how they lost control over the past century.
Taxing their employers to pay for services for everyone?
When I was younger, this was the case on the TTC, and it still pisses me off to this day.
I was a university student, I barely had any money at all. There were more than a few days where it was "do I take the bus this week, or do I buy some extra groceries?" and a full-price Metropass was out of the question. Older people, who owned their homes, had jobs and incomes, and, in many cases, cars, could get a discount. And this was in the 1990s, when old people, as a cohort, had less money than they do today.
Now, I'd rather see lower fares for everyone and congestion pricing for cars, but if I can have that, scrap the seniors discounts before scrapping ones for young people.
For sure.
Tax the rich.
You know what's interesting?
This is also good counterpoint to the "if we tax the rich, they'll leave!" argument because, when the supply leaves, the demand doesn't. Just like here, where Canadian (and central/south American, European, African, Asian, etc) products step up to fill the gap, if a rich person fucks off because we're asking them to pay their fair share, there's a really good chance that someone less greedy will step in to fill the gap because the demand is still there.
We spend far, far too much time lionizing the supply side of the economy, but it's the demand-side that really matters.
Are we going to either ensure people get paid enough to afford houses, or build homes that people can afford to live in?
No?
Then no, it won't get fixed. Right now, the market is making too much money off of exacerbating the problem, and the idea of government providing solutions went out of fashion in 1992.
