Not sure why creating very affordable housing for extremely low income/homeless, that share a communal bathroom/kitchen on each floor would be such a hard sell? Hostel mentality? Feels like there’s still room for at least one in every major city.

Not a solution for all commercial real estate obviously.

01:09:20 if you don’t want to go through that awful site.

Horrifically embarrassed for the graduate.

This is pretty fucking terrifying. Especially when you start consider how it would propel itself.

Holy shit, buddy. Yes. We flip a signal 180 degrees out of phase and that added pressure pushes the outside wave down. There is at no point a reduction of pressure in your ear, it’s just more pressure that makes it so you can’t hear the sound you are trying to remove. The perception of sound and air pressure are not the same thing.

If you had loudspeakers on the outside of your head, and passive attenuation in your ears, yes that would reduce pressure for you, but everyone else would have experience an increase. But adding more pressure in the cavity of your ear to reduce pressure makes very little sense.

If you blasted the sound outside of the headphones into the cabin it would decrease that for you and increase it for everyone else. But since you don’t walk around with two giant loudspeakers strapped to your passive noise canceling (isolation) headphones, yes the pressure is added to your ears and your ears only. You just can’t perceive it, outside of the headaches and fatigue over time…

You’d need the suit to allow you to “float” inside or it. Air gapped, and rubber suspension? Maybe some kind of a liquid, but it would probably just allow for more transference?

ANC isn’t protective in any way. If anything it’s probably just as damaging. It’s taking the outside signal and flipping it 180 (out of phase) and putting that in your ear to eliminate it.

Remote Audio isn’t fucking around. Those cans squeeze the shit out of your head to get that -45db, but they work very well.

I doubt I will learn any more than I know.

No worries, best of luck navigating social scenarios. It’s crazy cool.

In the US, a large portion of the population lives rurally, maybe a few miles to a neighbor, maybe blocks. When the power grid/telecommunications go down, a car has just about everything you need for the ability to check in. I understand your thoughts, and agree, supplying everyone with an emergency hand cranked radio would be a fair solution. Most folks that live rurally have one already. As someone who rode out Katrina, cars and radios were extremely helpful, AM especially.

Not to be that guy, but I wasn’t trying to type out two paragraphs…

Yes the mechanism that transmits AM results in less fidelity. Without an HD receiver…

AM’s lack of fidelity allows it to have increased range, so it’s especially important for emergency situations.

Fucking love when my wife leaves, and I take my right hand off and enjoy my N*KED LADY BOOK.

Man, I’m so happy to see this kind of dialog. Appropriate debate and resolution. This is so fucking rare to see these days, especially on the interwebs. Jeeze. Thanks for being open.

Technically, we were the first to make any Cannabis legislation, in 1619.

Only problem, it was to force folks to grow it.

Weird.

Seems the church was the first to ban it’s use in 1484, does papal law count? Not sure on Tony’s Sources.

Wouldn’t “Putting the Pop in Popeyes” make more sense and less hassle?

Too on the nose? Low hanging fruit?

Lol’d at this. Great job.

Yeah, it felt like the clown man was the company in the first two panels, then it shifts to hacker, then the final few are just confusing. Poor clown man, so many internal conflicts.

The idea of “owing” has changed a lot the last 100 years. Used to be ok to have a little debt. Meant you weren’t going anywhere, you were part of the community, invested. Thats changed now that you owe some obscure billionaire or hedge fund down the line. Means nothing. Changing the idea of how we handle debt as opposed to not letting people acquire it feels more appropriate.

So, my OD limit is $500, my fee is $35 regardless of how much I go over. Often in my poorest of months, I would wait till my account got very low, make sure there wasn’t any autopay or pending charges coming, then take out the $500 cash from an atm. I would use that cash to live on till my next paycheck, and deposit whatever funds were left over. My bank would reject any additional charges because its past the limit. This way I wouldn’t stack OD fees, and that’s less than 10%. In this late stage capitalist dystopia, I’d say that’s probably the best deal I could have asked for, outside of more money.
