Why is this being reported on LifeHacker and not Gizmodo?

Some TVs and receivers also have a “Night Listening” mode which does a similar thing. It’s designed so that the loud explosions don’t wake up your neighbors or sleeping family members, but all it’s doing is compressing the dynamic range so that the dialogue comes out at the same level as the explosions.

You actually want “Dynamic Range Compression” ON if you’re trying to make dialogue sound closer to explosions. It’s the LACK of compression on Hollywood mixes that makes dialogue hard to understand and makes you keep raising and lowering the volume. By compressing the dynamic range, you making the difference between…

Yet another article that describes the difference between two things, but not WHY you should use one over another...

Thanks for this...I was like...I’m pretty sure most wood framed houses use pine 2x4s...

Thank you for this...I read this whole article but got no real advice on when to use one over the other...

A little disingenuous for you to claim “Babe” is a George Miller movie when he didn’t direct it and was only one of three writers on the film.

That pretty funny.  I had a dealer say he always split 10s, so maybe there’s something to it despite the possibility of throwing away a perfectly good hand.

I think you kinda glossed over the frustration of a “wrong” bet. You already said that in blackjack you’re playing the math, so making a wrong bet is betting against the math. Not only that, but it’s important to mention that you’re not playing against the other players at the table. Everyone is playing against the…

I need tips on how to MAKE myself run slower. I’ve been a runner since I was a kid and ran varsity cross country in High School, but I’ve always had a hard time pacing myself in workouts. When I run by myself, I almost always start WAY too fast (because I’m used to a faster pace) and when I run with others, I’m really …

This is an absurd list of things you “shouldn’t” do yourself. This is a very lawyer like list of things not to do...sure technically you shouldn’t do your own electrical or plumbing, but if you have DIY skills, they’re usually extremely straight forward jobs. It doesn’t take a genius to know whether or not electrical…

I can’t emphasize the track etiquette enough...I’ve been to too many tracks where a soccer or football game is taking place in the infield and people just stop, sit, or hangout in the innermost lanes - athletes and spectators. This is equivalent to walking into the middle of the road and stopping there. Sure, when you…

Totally, but there are lots of patterns that have lasted the test of time, but often they only stand up when used in moderation. So I agree, today you generally wouldn’t want to wall paper an entire room, but using wall paper for accents can be a fantastic design choice.

You can’t really say for sure, but in my educated opinion (I have a fine art degree) I think you can make good, well informed design decisions that will last for at least a generation or two. Yes, tastes do change, but there are certain designs and styles that have lasted multiple generations if not centuries. If you…

Why would someone use the rolling baskets to sort dirty clothes??? You just use the washers to sort the clothes directly from your laundry bag/hamper...there’s no reason your clothes shouldn’t go directly from your bag into a washer.

Also...pretty naive of anyone to think those rolling carts are remotely clean...

Weird that energy star recommend 70...I’m pretty sure everyone else recommends 68 in the winter...

How are Detroit and Columbus on this list but not Chicago or Milwaukee? Seems kinda weird...

Wow...so I just looked at the source article...and fucking wow...great fucking journalism...you just decided to pick and choose which cities you wanted to highlight for some reason...Denver is number one, so idk why you chose…

Maybe don’t put the trypophobia triggering picture as the banner picture...just a thought...

It seems there’s no changing your mind on this.

If it’s something you wouldn’t do sober BECAUSE of either insecurities or better judgement, it doesn’t mean it’s something you would NEVER do. That doesn’t mean it’s something you wouldn’t otherwise do. If you don’t do something because of insecurities or because of…

Get drunk after you get dumped and you’ll probably be much more angry or depressed. Get drunk after a promotion and you’ll probably be happy and sharing.
