- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 4 weeks ago:
To the best of my memory. It has to do with sound actually traveling in waves. Depending on when the waves hit each other they can cancel out (to some extent) or add to each other.
- Comment on This woman must have a really bad dog 1 month ago:
I put my girl down a year and a half ago. She was an eight year old rottie that loved life, Loved kids and loved me. She had cancer growing in her brain/snout that was making her angry, agitated and a danger to others. Could I have waited a month or two longer? Maybe, but she wasn’t happy anymore so it was time. I paid for an autopsy because I wanted to know, the cancer was everywhere in her skull/ muzzle taking up 1/5th the brain cavity.
Holding onto her for longer was unfair to the years of happiness she gave me. In the end I couldn’t be selfish and had to let her go. So maybe try that route with your wife? It was the hardest decision I ever made and I cried all the way to the vet and thought about turning around a couple of times.

“Allows you to control the downtime”
*unless your company infrastructure was designed by a 2 year old, you don’t have infrastructure admins that believe is still the wild wild west, and your Security team knows how to manage it’s av and doesn’t block the file servers
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 4 months ago:
I agree whole heartedly, it could be done better. I’m just saying it isn’t complete garbage and if a little confusing still usable.

I only went back 5 days, maybe that’s a limitation for my mobile app, but yeah I also couldn’t find cause to say they can’t stop talking about race.

To add to this comment, it’s not hard to find any of this information. “States grouped into areas” scroll to find your state, or again ctrl+f. “Hard to find cities” thankfully living in my area and being somewhat familiar with said area I can scroll down the list and find farmers in my general area. Short of putting in my address and searching for closest to which I hate anyway, this isn’t a bad interface as op suggests.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 5 months ago:
I believe this wasn’t the first day of the tournament so it wasn’t right before it started.
I’m sure he normally would follow the rules but their is a saying “exception to every rule” for a reason. I don’t know the circumstances, I don’t even know the guy, I’m sure their were other ways it could be handled. I just think this article and this headline portray the event in the worst light.

I very well could have run to my room and change the shirt. But it was a call from my boss so I answered and he said we were hoping on a call to discuss this crisis and I said ok. It wasn’t until I looked at my picture on zoom that I nice what I was wearing and at that point we were 20 minutes into the call. Anyone paying attention would have already seen the shirt and I figured it would be stranger for me to stop the camera and run and change the shirt.

Against dress code, is what the article I read yesterday said. Even though you can wear slacks made to look like jeans, as long as they are not denim they are fine.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 5 months ago:
The article I read yesterday about it was skewed a little different.
He was out for lunch with a friend and went straight to the tournament after and forgot he was wearing jeans. He offered to change them for the next day but they said he had to do it now, at which point he said it was a matter of principal and walked off. I know I have no idea how the “societal elite” live but I don’t carry an extra set of pants on me when I go places.
As someone who accidentally ended up on a management level web cam meeting with a “death and taxes” being the only thing you can count on shirt, I understand not realizing what you are wearing in the morning. I have since made changes to what I allow myself to wear on working days
- Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 7 months ago:
You missed the (and doing it properly) part. Could you do it on his setup? sure. Could you do it on your setup recommendations? Sure. Could you do it on a little raspberry pi? Probably. A industry standard best practice for backup is 3-2-1. Do all companies follow industry best practices? Heavens no. Redundancy is great, it may save you from calling someone at triple rates for after hours support only to find your one 48 port switch failed. It’s all about what risk you are willing to take on any of this.
- Comment on UK experts warn against buying ‘XL bully cats’ 8 months ago:
Because the last dog I rescued cost me $7k in vet bills and needed to be put down a month and a half later due to health issues. We had him just long enough to get attached. Then i spent all night with him puking up more blood then i thought he could have in him. If I buy a puppy from a breeder I know it’s genetics and can make sure it doesn’t have pre existing conditions from abuse.
Miss you Fen…
