I’ve been calling the cybertruck the Homer since it’s release. So apt.
High frequency radio is still below the visible part of the spectrum, gamma is waaay above it.
Then making them afraid of saying “Yeah, ok boss.” is what’s left on the table I guess?
Nine bullets that hit the kid they were “aiming” at, who was on the other side of a chainlink fence that his cerebral palsy prevents him from scaling no less. Multiply the number of pigs involved by the magazine capacity of their firearms to find out how many rounds were actually fired.
Both awful shots, and fucking cowardly to boot.
They should be stripped of their authority and paraded through the streets tarred and fucking feathered for what they’ve done.
What they’ll get instead is paid leave, and moved to another precinct upon their return to work, at worst.
The US is fucked from the ground up, all Trump is doing is accelerating the decline, waving the corruption around like a flag, rather than behind closed doors. (Like it’s done everywhere else)
Edit: 4 pigs, guessing 11 round capacity, means 44 rounds expended, to hit with 9.
I have never fired a handgun in my life, and I am confident I could do better than that. The fact that “trained” individuals are this bad is humiliating to those involved.
When AI eventually gets genuinely I, I’d bet it could be reasoned with.
In fact, since it would likely be unbound by our biological emotions and short-sighted instincts, it would probably think longer term than the current crop of utter psychopaths running the show.
I mean, that’s a loss for capitalism right there. They put a machine smarter than they are in charge, they’re in for a rude awakening I reckon.
At the volume I have my games and music, I rather doubt it. :-/
That’s not how it works around here. No shades of gray I’m afraid, simple black and white only. (/s)
Ehhhhhhh…
I don’t disagree that the “western hemisphere” is a corrupt, increasingly fascist, capitalist hellhole…
China aren’t known for their stellar human rights record either. Uyghurs, Tibetans, anyone that jokes about Winnie the Pooh’s lookalike, etc.
Let’s not pretend either side is righteous here, every single one of us is getting fucked, it’s just a matter of degree and direction.
No, really. It is very common for individuals on the autistic spectrum to have above average acuity of high frequency sound.
Unless you’re autistic. We don’t lose the top end of our hearing for some reason. Those “mosquito” devices can trigger my migraines, at 43 years old.
“Coil whine”.
The inductors used in the power regulation circuitry physically vibrate due to the electromotive force the part relies on to function. Changes in the load on the power supply changes the characteristics of the vibration, allowing audible detection of the variation.
The physical vibration slightly alters the electrical characteristics too, which is why inductors are glued down or “potted” in some equipment to try and negate this effect.
Edit: The inductors on your graphics card can whine too. This generates noise on the ground line of the whole PC which is then amplified by cheap sound devices, which is why you can literally hear the mouse moving on the screen on some PCs.
Ah, the “Mosquito” device.
I have strong feelings on those things. Strong enough to drill holes in one while up a ladder wearing a visi-vest.
Side note: It’s amazing how invisible you become while wearing a high-vis vest and a hard hat.
Another one!
It’s a common autistic trait, FYI 💛
I can still hear the bats pinging for insects round the back gardens. I was 43 last week :-p
Diagnosed autistic?
It’s very common for us 'spergs to have a very high frequency cut off on our hearing, all the way to old age.
I’m 43 and can still hear the bats chirping when they’re hunting insects in the twilight round the gardens. People think I’m making it up, until I point the bats out, tracking them by sound until they flutter high enough to see their silhouette against the sky.
CRT TVs and monitors used to annoy the hell out of me. The high pitched whine of the flyback transformer that runs the motion of the electron beam makes a very distinctive hiss. Like someone else on here, I could tell what refresh rate your monitor was running in by the noise it made.
That, plus an abnormally high flicker fusion frequency meant I had migraines every other day when I was working. :-/
See, it was plausible until the price of oil started falling. Oil is one of the few things propping up Russia’s economy. If oil keeps falling, Russia is even more screwed than it is now.
It would appear that he’s just a brat who’s never been told no in his life, grown so far as to be going senile. It’s all ego. Every single stupid thing he does is because he thinks he’s right. He is the literal embodiment of the dunning-krueger effect, fed by a bubble of yes-men hoping for crumbs from the table.
And this is why we all use metres. (/s)
