Seriously you read about people who die young, and people always pretend to care after they are already dead like "omg, this is so sad, they could've acomplished so much, he had a bright future ahead of him! wHaT a tRaGeDy, iF oNlY wE cOuLd'vE FoRSeEn tHiS"...

why didn't y'all do anything while they were still alive? hypocrites...

Prices have inflated so much over the past 10 years that a $20 bill buys as much as $5 did back then.

You would think someone would have thought to encase two shells in like a cage in headphones so you can listen to the ocean while you sleep. It's like a sound machine, but no battery required.

I could probably eat better...

Edit: I do appreciate all the dietary advice.

Renewable energy technologies (and solar especially) are about as important as oil was in the 20th century. America literally went to war multiple times internationally to get access to that sweet juice. It makes absolutely no sense that America would not want to have access to excessive amounts of cheap energy today, and that's why it is straightforward that America will do a 180° turn-around and start calling the Chinese their "best friend" for providing them with ample amounts of solar energy panels.

The social environments most people call "echo chambers" map entirely incorrectly to the metaphor of acoustic physics, whereas true "echo chambers" have the structure of something like a large cathedral...

...true sound absorption/anti-echo materials in contrast by definition include highly manifold structures with many internal divisions.

How does acoustic foam work? All we have to do to understand how does acoustic foam works is to look at the individual cell structure of the foam. You can see that the cell structure is open or porous in nature. This cell structure type allows for air to flow into the foam and enter the individual cells. Once it is in the cells, it moves around and this movement creates friction. We all know that friction can produce heat. If you have ever rubbed sticks together when camping to create a fire, you realize how friction works. Once the friction starts to produce heat, an energy transformation occurs. We do not lose energy, we change its form to heat.

It is well known that the acoustic absorption capacity depends on the acoustic porosity content (open porosity). Indeed, scientists have focused on materials with interconnected porosity, especially foams made from polyurethane [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. It is essential to determine parameters such as the airflow resistivity, tortuosity and acoustic porosity to understand acoustic phenomena.

this is a structure that deadens echos

Except for your mom doing the laundry, maybe.

Twintails are the wintails.

Hear me out:

The only, absolutely only reason why people don't generally marry on the first date is to figure out whether they DON'T fit together.

So if you manage to figure out that the relationship is not going to work out before you get into real commitments (kids, mortgage, ...) you successfully avoided trouble.

I see it so often that people think that dating is already a strong commitment and that ending a dead-end relationship is a failure.

There is no shame in realizing the relationship is going nowhere and ending it.
