In my case, I just want a single unit to bring the ports and speakers from the back of an iMac to the front.

The rear-firing iMac speakers on my office computer can rattle windows in the conference room across the hall from my desk in the open, yet I can't hear a word on a video conference from my desk chair even cranked to 10. When I had the same computer against a padded room divider (common in cube farms), it would at least absorb the rear-firing speaker noise but was still not audible from my desk chair. I'm not an audiophile, and don't listen to music.

Headphones are also not an option, since I need to interact with people in person and frequently have 2-3 people at my desk watching a webinar who also need to hear it.....

This is a speaker with a knob on it:

https://www.amazon.com/GOgroove-Comp...0486846&sr=8-4

Pair it with a usb hub and you are set!

Also, that CalDigit TS3 Thunderbolt Dock posted has a headphone jack on it. Just plug in a pair of speakers into that.

This is a Young Chang full grand. The wife grew up playing and has been talking about getting a piano since I've known her. Figured why not go big.

My wife went plant CRAZY this past year. We have those same plants in the same style pots! She especially loves the Monsteras we got.

Same. I bought some that were cheaper, not the same; at all. The quality and material their stuff is made of is incredible.

None taken and I don't disagree with you. Not a fan of all their styles, most of their styles actually. I grabbed the two pair that I liked. The rest of their stuff is an easy hard pass. The pants that are so tight around the calves and baggy at the waste is just not a good look imo.

Awesome! I love my Sierra and can;t imagine not having a truck anymore. Those trail bosses are awesome and the 6.2L is a beast. I mainly didn't go 6.2L as I don't want to use premium fuel in my truck and I don't haul large trailers.

The thought of powder coating the wheels black never even crossed my mind. I was a fan of the SX Telluride with the upgraded black wheels, would definitely be interested in seeing how the premium wheels came out after powder coat. Much appreciated!
Sorry for the non-BMW pics guys, apparently it's hard to send a pic through a PM from the app:

My wife's uncle came over Sat & I remember to snap some pics of his powder coated wheels for JP10 .

He also just painted the chrome portions on the front lip & rear diffuser with Rustoleum black spray paint. Actually came out great. I think I've talked him into a light black wrap on the rear reflectors in the middle of the black bumper.
