To expand a little bit - the ridges of your outer ear will attenuate certain frequencies of sound more than others depending on the height of the source relative to your head. Animals that don’t have these outer ear ridges can still find the source of a sound laterally since they have two ears, and tilting their head tilts the plane of their ears letting them get some vertical sound perception.
In the smarter every day vid on this topic, they had a blindfolded person point to the source of a sound (succeeded no problem), and then packed clay into the outer ear ridges to mess with that sound attenuation. The person was able to keep their lateral sound perception but the vertical was all over the place.
The purpose of language is communication. If I were to say “I had soup for breakfast” when I really had cereal, it would probably communicate the wrong idea. Cereal is not soup, and it is not necessary to produce a robust, cereal-excluding definition of soup to defend this point.
I didn’t read this as a “both sides” comment. It looks to me like the “toss up” is about who is likely to win the election, rather than who deserves this commenter’s vote. The reason it’s close to a toss up is because there are enough violent racists willing to vote for the violent racist.
It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.
As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)
The monkey’s paw curls. New AAA games now feature thousands of individual rock models, among other labor- and space-saving measures being forgone in favor of realism. The game is 400 GB and the devs have worked 110 hours per week for the last 3 months
As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best...
At least where I live, the licensing test covers rules of the road, not automotive knowledge. I think this commenter was referring to some test covering very surface-level knowledge of vehicles, with a focus on ways to tell if a car is unasafe to drive.
I think two things make up the core of the student loan problem.
Kids in high school are surrounded by rhetoric from every adult they might trust near-constantly insinuating that if you don’t go to college you’ll never make anything of yourself (this has been better recently, with more and more high school graduates being made abundantly aware of non-college options available to them)
Student loans are designed to spiral into lifelong debt. This one is a bit more anecdotal for me but a good few of my high school friends have paid back well beyond the initial sum of their student loans, yet their remaining balance is greater than they started.
Now I’m not saying this is what you’re doing, but those who frame the issue as purely one of personal responsibility (i.e. “you took out a loan pay it back”) are at best being unhelpfully reductive and at worst gaslighting.
Set aside, just for a moment, the abstract moral aspect of this position, and consider the purely utilitarian side. If such a huge portion of an entire generation’s earnings are being funneled up to banks that talked them into a maybe-not-so-necessary college education when they were 17, they’re not exactly enabled to spend money in local commerce. Money spent in local commerce is pretty good if you want an economy to thrive, and if you ask me, student debt forgiveness would substantially contribute to that. If you disagree then you disagree, but framing that disagreement as a moral superiority is immature.
In no particular order, here are some games that came out this year that have really stuck with me:
Hi-Fi Rush
Zelda: TOTK
Mario Wonder
Dungeons of Aether
Remnant 2
And a bonus shoutout to Warhammer 40k Darktide for getting a ground-up rework to the class system. To anyone who wrote this game off previously, it’s worth another shot.
I played the Steam version of the base game, with no DLC. I did not play the Spacer’s Choice “remaster” as it has a reputation for being broken and poorly put together. I played the game to completion on normal difficulty, completing most of the side quests, spending time with all my companions, and trying to get the most...
