Copyrights don’t last perpetually, and the bible is old enough to be public domain. Newer translations and editions can be under copyright but the underlying work is public domain.

Copyright purportedly exists to promote the sciences and useful arts. Historical scholarship, and the research into old manuscripts in making a new edition of any old work does have value, and does entitle you to a copyright. However, scholarly editions generally have a shorter term than original works.

The bible is public domain, but there are copyrighted editions. The same can be said for most historical works of note. There are copyrighted editions of Beethoven’s symphonies, Shakespeare’s plays, and Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, despite the original works being public domain.

I don’t think copyrights are evidence for or against the existence of any god, or the validity of any religion. The fact that there are copyrighted editions means there is interest in studying the texts, which is true for every extant religion.

Because the purpose of a CEO is wealth transfer. Controlling the company is purely incidental.

Your voice sounds great! The pitch, resonance, and inflection all seem pretty much perfect. There is a certain tambre that trained voices tend to have, its there but its really subtle, and I think I can only pick up on it because I’m working on voice training. You sound young, probably 20s or 30s and convincingly a woman.

I don’t think anyone can accurately assess their own voice. Despite the work I’ve done myself I still hear a man in recordings, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why. I should reach out for help, but I’m not ready yet.

I’d rather cut off my balls. With anesthetic but I not picky.

Its the passport that also works for domestic air travel now that they banned drivers’ licenses.

It does not have your address on it, so its a safer document to use to prove your age.

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.

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.

Its a truck built for the same apocolypse that crypto will save you from, where despite the apocalypse you still have working electricity and an internet connection.

On the bright side, that saying is not a reflection of reality. A real frog will jump out of the pot.

computers use additive color, pigments use subtractive color.

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.
