It’s pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do… hmmmm
But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don’t read too much into it.
You are PARTICULARLY obnoxious posting the EXACT same joke on two different news stories within seconds with BAFFLING capitalization
It is a scar. it reads more clearly in other pictures
I was discussing real world sounds in open air. Yes, destructive interference is something you have to account for when dealing with sound systems. A speaker playing the same sound in the inverse phase will cause issues, but a group of people, as was the topic, will never be anywhere close that precise.
If the concern is safety, as it is in this example, the concern is the worst case. And the worse possible case is when all the sounds interfere constructively.
It’s not really a counterargument when I specifically said my logic of ignoring destructive interference doesn’t apply in “situations designed to cause it” like two synchronized sinusoids. Most people are not synchronized sinusoids.
Sorry for the very tangent.
That speech frequency graph is a good visual of why for trans voice training, resonance is more important than pitch. The pitch is nearly the same, the difference is in which overtones are projected.
Where did you find it? I would like to read more about the methodology.
Sound is complicated. Its both physics and perception.
The decibel scale is logarithmic. If you double the energy you increase the dB level by 3. Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.
Some people in this thread are talking about destructive interference. That really only happens in noise canceling headphones, or situations designed to cause it. In open air, its not really an issue that comes up. I’ve never become quieter by playing an instrument with someone else. It just doesn’t work like that.
What lets the monster hear you is the peak volume, not the minimum or average, so it will be close to the 3 dB doubling rule.
There’s also perception. Your brain does a ton of filtering of sound information. Your brain is constantly trying to pick out the important sounds and ignore the rest. That’s why the quieter severs seem quieter when something louder happens. Also that’s why some people use white noise machines to sleep.
Its not hard to learn but it does take time to become confortable with it. I recommend renting a car. Driving manual car for the first time with the added stress of driving in a different county is a recipe for disaster. By all means try it. Take up the offer of that lesson, but its unwise to have to rely on a manual car for transport when you’ve never driven one before.
But also make sure you actually need a car. The US is built with fully car dependent infrastructure, so americans are taught their whole lives to just assume they always need a car. That isn’t the case everywhere, and might not be where you’re going. Be sure to check.
he… just… got… the… job…
I use ublock origin and you can add a custom filter. They put the shorts in a specific panel that you can block easily.
On the bright side, that saying is not a reflection of reality. A real frog will jump out of the pot.
The attack was done by the “yemeni armed forces” which is the official military of yemen.
However, yemen has been in a civil war since 2014, with command of the military split between the government and the hoithi rebels.
The spokesperson who took credit for the attack in the article, yahya saree is described by wikipedia as being part of the houthi faction.
This seems to be much less of an official yemeni military action than the text of the article might lead you to believe.
I expect the new models to be harmful to sales.
Because tesla rarely makes changes to their cars year over year, you can buy a tesla now and have one that looks like you bought it before elon publicly went off the deep end. There’s still plausible deniability with most of their models.
But now, anyone buying a model Y is getting a car that obviously could only have been purchased during trump’s second term. There’s no plausible deniability. The distinctive front and rear light bars scream:
“I chose to buy this car after watching the CEO do the nazi salute twice on national television.”
so… its a news article in 2025?
Did a little reading on don bacon, the representative mentioned.
He represents nebraska’s 2nd district, a district where the majority voted for biden and harris. He is known for being a moderate republican who is noted for working bipartisanly. He retained his seat by a narrow 50.9%:49.1% margain.
Basically he’s one of the most likely republicans to support something like this. And if viewed purely cynically, with the slim margin of victory, he has an incentive to introduce bills to nowhere like this use for the upcoming 2026 reelection campaign.
Until this bill gets cosponsors or goes for a floor vote, it doesn’t indicate a breaking of ranks. He’s the kind of republican who often goes against the party line.
Honda has 16 factories in the us. Your next honda probably won’t be affected.
The Signal Foundation is a non-profit. The non-profit owns an LLC under the same name which publishes and develops the apps.
The software itself is open source, and licensed under AGPLv3, the same permissive license as lemmy and mastodon.
Calling them a private company with no motivation to disclose any failures in their security is pretty clearly untrue in whole.
It would be very different. It would be a place without diplomacy. Agreeing to not attack diplomats is the most important prerequisite for diplomacy.
If you can’t send someone to talk things out then war is the first and only way for nations to resolve any conflict. I don’t think you want to live in that world.
Well its good you’re not a diplomat.
What do you suggest a president do during a diplomatic meeting with another president other than saying words?
When learning a language, you don’t do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.
From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.
