I see people all the time who seem to go overboard
I don’t have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that ‘overboard’ here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person’s) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.
The other commenter gave you the right answer already. But I meant ‘in practice’ literally, as in, if the sexuality of someone matters to decide your course of action, like flirting with them or introducing a friend, they basically mean the same.
Now if you wanted to get technical, pansexual people are technically bisexual (?). Pansexuality would be a special case of bisexuality in which the attraction is equal across the entire gender spectrum.
But as rarWars said it’s hard to put identity into strict rigid definitions. If you think it too hard this model means that every sexuality is just a special case of bisexuality as well, ace is a special case of pan…
In theory: Bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender, while pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender. For example a bisexual person could be attracted to women and nb people but not to men.
In practice: Mostly synonyms, some years ago ‘pansexual’ was kind of a buzzword to mean ‘inclusive bisexual’ (as in can also be attracted to trans and nb people), but I haven’t met a bi person that wasn’t ‘inclusive’ or that wasn’t attracted to a particular gender like the example above.
Sounds like a good plan, I’d seriously consider a Canarian accent if I could pick mine!
Does someone actually know how to turn this off on android? My work phone does this all the time. It’s a car! I was looking at that map under that modal and trying to listen to the directions you reduced to a whisper thank you very much!!
That’s an excellent question, and like most excellent questions I think the answer is ‘it depends’ but I would bet for ‘yes’.
First, ‘noise’ is a part of the signal we don’t want or we don’t care about. In op’s example they talk about ‘two servers’ one quieter and another louder. The sounds of these sources is the part of the signal we care about so the sound of the louder server isn’t noise in any case. As long as the sound of the quieter server rises above the noise floor and the recording device have the dynamic range to record the sum of the sounds you should be able to ‘measure’ it (as in pointing to differences in the readings when you turn it on and off) and maybe cancel the other server to some extent by processing it.
Now to this point is a yes but ‘it depends’ because while the sound of the louder server isn’t noise it can rise the noise floor depending on the acoustics of the server room. Some server rooms have lots of reverb and echo, specially when they’re not very full, but in my experience most don’t, many put these plastic curtains to contain the AC and they dampen sound reflections pretty effectively. But with bad enough acoustics, a very loud ‘loud server’, and a quite quiet ‘quiet’ one the sound floor could rise over the quieter server sound.
Disclaimer: this is from the top of my head, I’m tired and not a hundred percent sure this is correct. Don’t take any important decisions based in my autistic rambling.
Others have commented on the physical process of interference, waves add up but also cancel out. But the server sound ‘disapeaearing’ is not caused by interference, in fact it doesn’t disappear at all. It’s a phenomenon called ‘masking’ caused by your auditory perception. Louder or lower sounds mask quieter or higher pitched sounds.
Edit: and to add a bit to the answers, natural sound sources add up more than they cancel out on average, so it will get louder the more sources you add. But sound pressure level is also inversely proportional to the squared distance, so there’s a limit to the max db you can get just adding more similar sources, with a higher limit with higher source density, ie the closer to each other you put them. I leave the formula for this as an exercise for the reader.
I guess it’s a stylistic choice to express emphasis instead of using italics or bold text.
You are right, it was an oversimplification, 25% is hardly a ‘rare exception’.
In my defense I have to say that it was late, I was already in bed, and very sleepy. And I knew that, this being lemmy, some other nerd would come with a more thorough explanation.
That’s the one.
Nope, that’s an orange/red tabby while op’s is a calico, which is also present in Minecraft. Fun fact: except in rare exceptions all red tabbies are males and all calicos are female.
Note: these aren’t breeds, but names for the coat coloring.
Alright so you did put the signs the other way around!! No lol I think the post says the pedestrian pictogram that then is represented in many signs (ay least here) not just to the crosswalk one in particular, so I thought it applied here. My memory is very fuzzy but this could be an underpass that happened to have toilets as well.
I was coming back to say that. I’ve been in Warsaw, and in the back of my head I had the thought that this would have struck me as weird so I would’ve noticed. So I went through the few pictures and videos I took and saw this:
Uhm… Poland… that… those signs were for the toilets mates. I mean, fair mistake, but what did you put on the restroom doors then?
Edit: they’re not like that.
Kid’s already got the genius hair and all. I foresee a bright future.
I see you know your judo well!
Confidence boost! Lots of policemen have touched my penis and none has said anything like that!
Well I’m inferring your dad’s not a young lad anymore, twice a day is quite impressive even more at 6 o’clock! I think they’re a bit in the honeymoon phase, it’ll mellow eventually*.
But to answer your question I have two options: -Tell him to lower the volume or pick some time you’re not home IF it’s your home, as in your dad has come to live with you or you are roommates, or you are too young to live by your own. -But IF it’s his home and you are old enough then get your own flat/room or some good headphones and let them enjoy life.
*Or not, I don’t know your dad or his girlfriend. Wish them the best tho.
Do a search for ‘sedes (or sedia) stercoraria’ and/or ‘Pope Joan’.
It may or might not be just a myth.
Oh no! I can’t unsee it now!
