Sound pressure level is where it can cause tinnitus, and potentially hearing loss if a particular frequency band is too harsh on the internal ear. Listening to the sound on your mobile device likely won’t be loud enough to cause harm.

Measuring sound pressure is a factor of the volume from the source and the proximity…

The reaction you had to stimpack sounds like a typical caffeine sensitivity issue. While not quite in the realm of an “overdose”, Caffeine sensitivity can exhibit signs similar to adrenaline flooding which can affect your hormone balance - and usually triggers fight or flight responses: hence the jitteriness.

To put…

No i’m pretty sure he understands the issue fairly well. Nowhere in the history of the world is a “paycheck” a “basic right”. Let’s put this scenario into perspective.
You decide to have fun taking videos of you and your buddies goofing off around town (in public places) and cracking wise jokes about stuff. You put it…

but... extra lines of code... moar work! to most users, youtube IS the entire internet, lawl.

My comment above in reply to tremblays question, but in addition to that - if you are working with black magic cinema cameras or any camera that is capable of shooting PRoRes hiQ video formats, QuickTime is the container. Even in order to transcode to some other format, the proper codecs need to be present on the…

Such a delicate, multifaceted topic. One I’ve been contemplating for years and even writing fiction novels about. Of course if we look back in time to the Industrial Age mankind was suffering from oppressive labor institutions that gouged a certain work ethic in the American Dream. As machinery began to replace man,…

Does anyone know why, and care to explain why gas is actually cheaper right now? (Loaded question, I know... forgive me.)

Yea, that’d be great. Unfortunately our school systems suck and can only afford to keep the status quo and continue using terms even our own society doesn’t fully understand or use:
-Thou
-Inch
-Foot
-Yard
-Chain
-Furlong
-Mile
-League
-Fathom
-Cable
-Nautical Mile
-Link
-Rod
-Perch
-Rood
-Acre
-Fluid Ounce
-Gill
-Pint
-Quart
-Gallon

Serio…

My simplest guess is that the more objects clustering closer together bounce more light off of each other diffusing the light transmission and reflection than the less dense areas. Since more of the “surface area” of less dense bands have more space between the objects to reflect in our direction of observation, they…

America is pretty fed up with the insane insurance demands and pharmaceutical drugs being the answer for every problem. It doesn’t matter that there are amazing doctors who save lives, they all have to serve under the banner of the NHA and big pharma corps pay their wages.

while I’ve experienced some pretty terrible business practices I don’t think anyone deserves any of the kind of treatment that these companies seem to seen as justified.

in order to understand how deals can be made poorly and hurt artists in ways they don’t have full control over, one must understand how copyright law works. First, realize that the author or writer of a song is separate from the publisher. While you can Publish yourself, its ill advised and you’ll find the smarter…

lol, yea I feel bad AT&T is out $100 mil they’ll never get back. *sarcasm*

In the article mentions of space fires (ISS and other space-going vessels) could really benefit from this type of technology. For one, in a zero-gravity environment this has no/very low counterforce that could cause someone harm by forcing them in the opposite direction while trying to operate. (i'm not a physicist,…

" ~.. It is nice to know I shook the hand of someone so fortunate to be alive. I take it the Synod was a bit cold to that fact. Politics can certainly numb the hearts of men." The chancellor lingered in silence a moment.

philosoraptor moment: What if this is all staged and he willingly plays the game of being America's publicly most wanted? What if to government this is all a game?

there is no door.

1 simple word. Education. It may not get fixed over night. But where there is a will, there is a way. You want to tip the balance? Don't incite a revolution, plant an evolution.

Pretty much sums it up.

can't stand it. literally.
