Easing someone's misery for an hour IS EASING SOMEONE'S MISERY.
And maybe the physical thing you provide to that person may only last for an hour, but the memory of something a kind person did for them will (hopefully) persist as well
Also, we have multiple subs. Revealing one temporarily does not compromise our deterrence
I think what the person you're replying to meant was something like:
"These subs are known to exist by Russia, and their particular sound signatures may NOT be known to Russia. So, having one appear in a known location, Russia may now be able to link sounds previously unknown to them to this type of sound. With this new information, Russia may now be able to locate these types of subs, when that was previously not possible."
I'm not sure if they're right about this or not, so the issue may be moot if Russia already had this information. I do, based on my military experience, generally tend to agree about the OPSEC component of their statement though.
Adding to this, you probably don't know how good your speakers are or not because you're listening to your room, not your speakers. If you have given zero thought to acoustic treatment where you listen to music, you definitely don't need to upgrade your audio equipment in any way. No amount of money you spend on equipment will help you enjoy music more until you treat your room
That does seem like a pickle. There is a band that is (well, WAS) LOCAL to me and I still couldn't get digital files. I was bitching about on reddit a while back, and I got a DM from someone who sent me an email with the files. They're in 320mp3, but better than what I had before.
Good luck with that, and have fun in Guadalajara if you go!
I'm glad you have luck with govee lights. The controllers on the strips I have need to be reconnected to wifi 2-3x a week. They're a total pain for me.
I have a bunch of stuff in my Amazon cart ready to convert the strips to wled. Very much looking forward to bot having to deal with them anymore
I quite enjoyed season 4 of True Detective as well. If you don't compare it to the lightning in a bottle that was Season 1, anyway
