If theaters turned the volume up any higher, the theater floor would be slick with the blood of ruptured eardrums. It's already painful. Loud does not equal intelligible, beyond a certain volume it becomes less intelligible.
Hell, yes! I stopped going to theaters because of this.
The last straw was a theater with the amps cranked up to where they were overdriven into distortion, making the *narrator* of a film unintelligible 2/3 of the time.
Larger TIRES are less bothered by potholes. But given a fixed tire outside diameter, as wheel size increases, the tire's ability to protect the wheel decreases. Most larger-wheel option packages don't increase the size of the unit, so they mean the tire is thinner. This is actually WORSE on bad roads.
Jason Fenske (YouTube channel "Engineering Explained") learned this the hard way when he hit a pothole on a highway with his Tesla on a road trip. It destroyed both tires AND wheels on one side of the car, and required a tow. He posted a video about the experience.
Not everyone is convinced that these objects are being piloted by grey aliens
No, the vast majority of people, and the scientific consensus, and Occam's razor, all say that they are not being piloted by grey aliens. They are being piloted by blue aliens.
Oh, sure; Blame it on the Democrats.
Trump never does anything unless there is something in it for himself.
"Xfinity" is nothing but a brand name used by Comcast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The problem with the MCAS system was that when the the Angle of Attack sensor (note singular) went wonky, it would keep pitching the aircraft, eventually forcing it into a stall, thus making the aircraft unstable.
No, you have it reversed. MCAS kept pushing the nose down, forcing the a/c into a dive, (just the opposite of a stall). That was what happened in both crashes.
It is all to funnel tax dollars to a couple of Trump's mega-donors:
If you have been using Chrome, then an easy option is to switch to Brave.
It is also based on Chromium, so it is very familiar to Chrome users.
Two advantages: Built-in adblocking, built-in ability to open a private window using Tor.
Sun also had something similar in the late 1990s with their SunRay terminals. You kept a smart card on you and any terminal you logged into would load your desktop and profile. They worked pretty well. It's funny when people "discover" old ideas. Hey how about we have one big server and then cheap clients with limited processing power? Brilliant! No one has ever thought of that before!
Not quite the same thing. The Sunray smart card had only your login information. Your home directory was on a server somewhere in a server room. So the user could move from one terminal to another, but their home directory never moved.
(I worked at Sun for 10 years before ORCL took over.)
Five tigers and three lions in the Bronx Zoo have tested positive.
If humans got coronavirus by eating bats, how exactly did lions and tigers get it?
By eating humans.
Uh, oh! Has anyone seen Carole Baskin's current husband recently?
Touchscreens in vehicles were a really, really bad idea. Just because we have the technology to do something doesn't mean we have to do it.
Or in the words of Jeff Goldblum: "Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
"All in all, it's clever research, but your cable modem will most likely get hacked because you forgot to change its default password or is vulnerable to other security flaws that are directly exploitable from the internet because you forgot to update its firmware."
Say what???
DOCSIS was specifically designed to *prevent* the user from being able to change things like firmware or configuration.
I give this article an "F".

An article about this from last year: https://www.caranddriver.com/n...
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
