You should write a book about it. You have a good, simple style thats easy to read, easy to understand. It would likely be cathartic to write and could help others.

TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.

Having been a Linux user for nearly 10 years, it’s surprising how frequently I’m surprised at the things systemd can do. That’s not to say I have any idea what it should do.

I’m interested in these “subsidized phones”…are those the ones they lease to you forever unless you buy out at the end of the 24 month term? The same ones for which you pay more overall than if you bought the phone outright to begin with? Not sure it’s the consumer benefitting from those subsidies…

4. Use a flashlight pointed parallel to the floor. The shadow cast by the screw will look bigger than the screw itself.

:q! if it’s urgent

The “little meat things” look like mini corndogs, without sticks. Definitely not mini meatloafs, not like any fishstick I’ve encountered. Could be a hushpuppy I guess, but would be surprised if a dinner table in america in the 70s lacked some sort of animal based protein.

Don’t forget, the Department of Justice will have put him there, so DJ put DJ DJ in DJ, now DJ DJ gets to DJ in DJ.

What a great record. A forgotten treasure.

Maybe take a few physics classes.

That’s not usually what is meant by proponents of the 4 day work week. Instead, they’re usually referring to four 8-hour days.

I would agree. Skip the separate decarb and just let it steep for a while. Decarb and extraction in one fell swoop.

What’s being submerged here? The sound source? The receiver? Are both under? or is one or the other out of the water?

Sure.

I’m going to take a guess at the observations that have lead to your questions.

Above water sounds are muffled when one is underwater. This is due to an impedance mismatch between two mediums, air and water. When airborne sound encounters the surface of the water, only a small fraction of that sound continues to travel through the water, the rest is reflected off the water’s surface.

Similarly, our ears and vocal cords have evolved to be efficient transducers above water, but not when submerged. On the other hand, whales have evolved very efficient underwater transducers and can communicate with other whales over 100s, maybe 1000s of miles/kilometers. They typically communicate at low frequencies since attenuation increases with increasing frequency. This is similar to what happens in air, like when comparing thunder from a distant lightning strike to a strike that happens nearby: the distant strike sounds like a deep rumble since the mids and highs have been absorbed by barriers and the air while the nearby strike results in much more high frequency “crack” and “sizzle” sounds.

Just riffing over here. Sound is rad.

Ha, raw.

Cocktail shaker works really well for this method too.

I’ve never tried hot process bar soap, but I’d expect that rather than “overcooking” you may have evaporated too much water. This could result in a clumpy mass without much cohesion.

I don’t follow…what’s the other tier?

Yeah it’s long but how wide is it? 4"+ or I’m out. Shrinkflation shouldn’t be applied to toilet paper.
