For those that may not have seen them – they depict a cinnamon toast crunch piece as a character who goes around eating other cinnamon toast crunch pieces. He's talking about how he's obsessed and knows he shouldn't be doing this. In one of the commercials they show him opening his refrigerator, where he has "body parts" of other cinnamon toast crunch pieces in storage, ready to eat later.
With that said, this mic is much more susceptible to 'splosives than any of my dynamic mics and the built-in foam windscreen doesn't help at all. Keeping it further away solves this for my use case. And I like the light up on/off push button on the base that applies power to the mic when in the on position. And, like the mics you see on podiums and in conference rooms, there is a ring near the mic element that lights up red when it's powered on.
I'm not sure why I didn't realize that gooseneck microphones like this make a lot of sense. The default thinking is that you need to go buy some crazy mic and then put it on some sort of an arm/mount to hold it. That typically means a dynamic mic, therefore the need for some sort of a preamp. Also means it's in the way. For rigs like the 7300, an electret condenser is a perfect match for the radio. And you just sit the base near the back of the workspace, not in your way.
The English language manual text is terrible. And some weirdness with the painting on the XLR end of the gooseneck itself. But it works.
Bought this for
#HamRadio and some other uses. Works well with IC-7300 connected directly to the XLR adapter cable I got a long time ago from Heil.
Also works well going through mixer.
Has XLR connector and 9V battery in the base.
Nobody can later say, they didn't know 👇🏼
Tania Warner described the treatment of her and her daughter as “horrific” from the start. After being held for about five and a half hours at the checkpoint, they were sent to the first facility, where “every single person … was handcuffed – including children”, the mother said.
There, they slept on the floor on 2in mats and the lights were on 24 hours a day. Agents would not let Warner call a lawyer and constantly pressured her to sign documents agreeing to “self-deport”.
“They’re abusive, and their tactics are to threaten you and to be so inhospitable that you deport yourself,” Warner said. She and her family say she has made it clear they have all the correct documents to live and work in the US, but that has been ignored.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/24/canadian-mother-detention-warns-immigrants #ICE #Donald #Trump #Trump
Canadian woman held with daughter by ICE warns all immigrants to ‘lie low’
Tania Warner says she has documents showing she is in the US legally, but immigration agents were not swayed
Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials have gone full Jeffrey Dahmer. It's creepy.
Trump retreats on the 48 hour warning to Iran and pushes it to Friday after markets close. It's all market manipulation at this point.
The U.S.-Israel war on Iran is now in its fourth week, and the economic reverberations continue to be felt all over the world.
"Great news!⚡Here's the full order: blocks #DHS from arresting & interrogating lawfully present #refugees on the basis of a crazy ARG that in 1980, w/o anyone noticing, Congress mandated that all refugees be detained on their 1-year anniversary in the US.
Judge R Stearns in Boston has⚡blocked the Trump admin from🚨enforcing a new policy that'd subject 1000s of refugees to arrest & detention if after a year in the US they'd yet to obtain green cards."
