Not OP, but I also suffer from hearing loss and wear hearing aids. Hearing loss in most people is not linear and certain frequencies are more compromised than others. This shows up as dips in an audiogram report. For me, I can hear low frequencies just fine. In fact, I can make out most words spoken by my male coworkers even without my hearing aids, due to their speech falling below the range of my hearing loss. I have a much harder time hearing females because their vocal range is higher in frequency so it comes through as very muddy. My hearing aids have open domes that pass sound, so they don’t act like earplugs for the frequencies they’re not amplifying.

My hearing aids also have the ability to pair with my phone and play music, but I never use it because they sound godawful because the drivers are miniscule. Fine for reproducing the mid and high frequencies required to boost audio in my hearing loss, but physically incapable of producing anything below probably 2-300 hz.

Everyone is obviously different, so not saying OP has the same situation as me, but based on their description of the problem and discounting the hearing aids as part of the solution, we’re probably fairly similar.

Sure, no shade on rural living for those who need the space. I’m more opposed the the forced ruralization of suburbia. This video popped up in my feed and shows how much better medium-density suburban living could be in many places.

This is me but with anti-car urbanism. Ever since I discovered Not Just Bikes, my feed has more and more videos showing how much better life can be if we shut off car brain and build for medium density with mixed use zoning and multi-mode infrastructure.

That’s because it’s been debunked and what you’re sharing is misinformation.

Modern M50 has masks happily seal on a 1/4 inch beard. Additionally, if the intentions of this policy were protective rather than racist, why would they apply all the time? Making soldiers shave in garrison to be ready for a gas attack is stupid. They only issue masks when deploying, because nobody is about to gas Fort Hood.

Mormons and Amway. Name a more iconic duo.

Nah, they’re just (rightly) pointing out that it’s barbaric while continuing to think mutilating boys is just fine.

She writes that many Democratic voters are “demoralized” about the Supreme Court and blame President Joe Biden for the abortion decision since it happened on his watch.

What kind of moron thinks the sitting President has any say in how the supreme court decides? I mean maybe a bit if that President has appointed a new Justice, but even then, not really.

I clicked to these comments to see if this was some kind of satire. Sadly, it’s not.

You’re correct. I typed Y by mistake and have edited my post. Chao was driving an X when the incident occurred.

“After a Friday evening celebrating Lunar New Year with close friends, Chao decided to drive back to the main house on the ranch around 11:30 p.m., the Journal reported.”

I wonder if she had been drinking.

“According to the Journal’s account, Chao told her friend that she had put her car in reverse instead of drive — a mistake she had made before — leading her to back over an embankment and into the pond.”

Tesla removed the shift stalks from X and *S models in 2021 in favor of the car guessing which direction you want to go, with the option to override on the touchscreen.

Edit: Originally stated Y by mistake. Chao was driving an X when the incident occurred.

It’s a very likely cause. OP should get their iron checked.

Listen, if you believe that, then you also know that you just have to tell your local representative of Jesus that you did a bad and are really sorry and you’re back in the heaven club.

Or, you realize that the whole concept is nonsense and there is no heaven and no hell.

Either way, fucking is great and you should do it premaritally to the max extent. Just remember to use protection, kids!

Remember, folks, if you, ever come across a bomb, mine, or anything else that looks a little bit like it might explode, get away, don’t try to handle it, and call the authorities. Even “practice bombs” like this one can be extremely dangerous, sometimes even moreso with age.

A sabot solves a lot of the problems you list. It fills the barrel and imparts spin from the rifling. I also doubt the range claims, though.

The ring came off my pudding can!

That stat came from an article that made the rounds a few weeks ago that cited a phone survey of 1000 or so kids in one small part of the US. Small, poorly controlled sample size, so bad data.

Talk to your landlord about adding the infrastructure. It’s trivial for them to add 50 AMP rv-style outlets to one side of the lot, and you can then plug in your own mobile charger.

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn’t figure out how to pin down a specific species.

Low back pain eliminated in all humans.
