I practice safe handling with the handheld barcode scanners at the hardware store checkout.
Do not point the scanner at anything you do not intend to scan.
Keep your finger away from the trigger until you’re ready to scan.
Be aware of your surroundings including what is behind your target.
I would extend it to any gunlike, or vaguely gun shaped object, even those that cannot cause harm. Don’t become complacent with safety practices even when it doesn’t matter.
Its important to follow evidence based medicine rather than eminence based medicine. Respected organizations get it wrong sometimes, in fact being wrong is an important part of the research process.
Cutting edge research is research into areas that are not well studied. Future studies will the confirm or refute those findings. It’s only when enough research has been done, and the field is no longer cutting edge, that we can really be certain of the results.
The gold standard for evidence are meta analyses which look at the totality of research on the topic. They will look at every study and trial done and draw conclusions on that basis. If one of those says something, its probably true and you should trust it.
I should remind you that the paper that started the modern anti-vaccine movement was published in The Lancet, one of the most respected British medical journals. A fraudstser, con artist, and then licenced doctor tried to cash in on the reputation of his employer and status. The result is the persistent lie that vaccines cause autism that we are still dealing with today over 25 years later.
You have to learn levels of evidence and analyse information on a case by case basis. Eminence counts for little. There are no shortcuts.
You can only feel what it feels like to be you, and since you’ve only ever been yourself you have no point of comparison.
I don’t think gender feels like anything. I am trans, I have been both a man and a woman and in my experience they don’t feel different. In this moment I feel like myself, just as I did a decade ago.
The things that have changed is that I no longer suffer from a crippling depression with an unclear cause. I have a range of emotions, and can feel emotions correctly. I consider my body to be part of myself.
All the above are now clearly signs of gender dysphoria, but at the time were hard to identify. The depression always has a more plausible explanation. The other two, I barely noticed I had because I experienced that my entire life.
It took me a very long time to discover that I am trans. It took a lot of self reflection to figure it out. Feelings were useless. I did think I would be happier as a woman, but that always seemed more of a logical deduction than a feeling.
You are underestimating the rockship’s capabilities.
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.
:3 sameee
TRT = Testosterone Replacement Therapy. It’s HRT for cis men.
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.
The sun is white, but the atmosphere reflects and scatters blue, allowing red and yellow to pass through. You see this effect in mornings and evenings when the sun’s light passes a much further distance in the atmosphere due to its low inclination. Your logic is sound, the clouds do appear orange at that time.
The only time you can safely look at the sun enough to determine its color normally is a sunset when it is tinted orange. I can see how he might have come to this conclusion but… wow…
