“Almost Always Based On This One Search I Did Online Today”
Come on. I’m all for tracking prices at several stores, but this ain’t that.
Besides, if Target were “Always” cheaper than Amazon, someone would already be all over that arbitrage.

Like most noise cancellation products, don’t rely on this for hearing protection. It’s good for reducing low frequency noise only - which might be a nuisance, but it’s less important from a hearing conservation standpoint.

Always wear earplugs when doing something noisy like riding - deeply inserted foam roll-down…

That’s an over-estimate. About 40 dB is about the maximum attenuation anyone can achieve from a deeply inserted foam earplug or a very large earmuff. Your bones conduct sound at levels around 40 dB down from what your ears would hear, so there’s a physical limit there.

Ten cent roll-down foam earplugs are the highest…

My “first” car was a 3rd gen Prelude... this was in the early 2000s, but to my junior-in-high-school mind it might as well have been an NSX.
I know they’re tiny, but as someone who could fit 99% of my belongings and 3 smallish friends in there, it was just perfect.

It’s not the fees that annoy - it’s the people who complain. It’s a goddamn business, people - you aren’t going to change it by whining to some underpaid and overworked gate agent. You know what you’re getting into when you decided to fly. And no - the airlines AREN’T making much money - why do you think they keep…

“How to make iOS9 into a downgrade”

Shouldn’t be too hard. Different headphones or other devices would have a different impedance, which it could fairly easily detect. Some headphones also include a microphone and they have a TRRS connector, which the phone would need to detect - then it would know it’s not plugged in to a speaker, for instance.

You are correct that this is a small change. A 3-dB reduction is approximately half the sound power, but to the human ear it will be just about the smallest difference in sound levels you could reliably hear.

Set the speed to x2... even better! The music gets MORE URGENT but the action is barely any faster.

This is not helpful - it’s just pictures of things that you could see if you walk around and clean occasionally. How much of this actually has some information supporting it? Which of these deep cleanings (eg. carpets) have sanitation or health benefits, and which are just cosmetic? Which parts are most important for…

Is it pronounced "Eee-ko" or "Ehh-co" because curious minds want to know how they can possibly be justifying using any term that implies environmental friendliness for a low 20's MPG vehicle.

Some places have weather. It may not occur to you until you live in one of these places, but the "utility" of a pickup is useless when it rains 100 times and snows 20 times a year. Now, a truck is great for hauling something like a motorcycle (also entirely useless in a bad-weather state), but for suburban / urban…

This sounds a lot like Confirmation Bias. Nice paper on a bottle has an effect similar to Placebo Effect, but even boxed wine can be well above average for its style and price point. But if it's a gift, get the nicer looking bottle anyway.
