Could sort of be described that way. But they basically just shape the sound in a way that your ear hears it with the specific acoustic distortion that normally cues your brain that the sound came from behind you. Or wherever.

So in the sense that a hologram is using different properties of shaping light to trick your eyes that something looks different than it really does, then yeah, audio hologram sort of fits. And similarly, it only works if your ears are exactly where they expect them to be, just like a hologram with your eyes.

While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it’s pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.

Specifically what it’s doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn’t get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won’t get the effect. And actually it’ll just sound weird to them.

Well, with it being a “relatively” healthy alternative to excessively refined sugar based chocolates, stressing that it is better to eat than American chocolate is pretty important. The idea is to sell it to the populace effectively enough that the reduction in medical spending outweighs or strongly supplements the manufacturing cost.

So it is also kind of an ad in that sense. Just not written for eyes outside of Mexico.

Because we are used to anytime someone mentions a product name, they were paid to do so.

But this is just an interesting and useful government intervention to correct a capitalism-derived problem.

Try chocolate that wasn’t made in America… Then imagine living a country with some of the best ingredients for chocolate making, and only seeing American chocolate on your store shelves… If capitalism is breaking stuff, the government is pretty much the only ones that can fix it. Though when the government is the thing that capitalism is breaking, I can see why you might not want them to do more than they currently do.

Government is supposed to be about pooling money so it can be more efficiently and effectively spent. Economies of scale. Even if the government only half does what you want and half does stuff you don’t care about, you are still getting better bang for your buck than if you tried to use your own tiny amounts of money to buy the half you do want.

Wait… I see these all the time… is it maybe just a Canada thing?

I would say, instead of trying to 100% switch over, instead dip a toe in. Dual boot, or run a seperate system as linux first. Slowly grow into it, and then if in a few years, it feels feasible, put it on as your main and have your windows system as the back up. Then maybe eventually you won’t need/want a back up at some point.

Hehe, fair.

That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it’s 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.

But, what I’m curious about… how is this a “shoes on” occasion?

If you do come across something you really want to try on github, and it doesn’t have a pre-compiled version. It’s actually not that scary to compile it yourself. If they don’t give any instructions for compiling it, that generally means you can leave everything as default on the compiler. You can change any optional settings to tailor it to your use case. Generally just looking at the options and reading the helpful hints, it all ends up being pretty self-explanatory. But of course, if anything gives you trouble, there are plenty of places to get help too.

I wouldn’t want to anthropomorphise the actual process of creating nut-based milks. It would be a little too soylent.

The reason “dad” doesn’t want a pet is never because he won’t like the pet…

You won’t find them in real life, they hide from that.

Actually, I know a few people that would be like this without the influences our local autism society social group has on them. Being brilliant in some areas and not as much in others can really twist a brain up depending on which areas. I got lucky with my strengths and challenges, I’m said to have infinite patience(not really the case, but relatively, close enough), and the ability to understand and relate to both Neurodiverse and Neurotypical individuals well. So I volunteer as a go-between, essentially an interpreter/mentor. I help the parents and kids get along, even if the “kids” are older than me. I also still live with my parents at 40, as despite some of my strengths being useful, I haven’t found anyone willing to pay for them. So I just try to help people with my time, either in real life or online.

Well, essentially, it’s that the coriolis effect, while a real thing, is much weaker than most other factors in play. If everything else is neutralised or near to it, the coriolis would indeed be the remaining decider, but that’s very unlikely in practice.

Anyone I know that had success with apps, it was eHarmony. Mostly because it costs money and takes work to make a profile, already filtering out so much just from those two steps alone. But the work that it takes to make a profile also helps to actually find who you want to find, and for them to find you.

You have to actually know what you are looking for though, and ideally why.

I haven’t been to a chipotle, but it sounds from reading here that it offers the same thing Subway and Harveys do. No presumptions, no need to ask them to remove anything. You ask for exactly what you want, and as a bonus, you even get to watch it being made. For people that have allergies, sensitivities, and many of the various food related neurodivergencies, like super taster, hypersensory, ARFID… basically anything that makes you feel like a jerk ordering from other places, it’s refreshing that our order is easier rather than harder. Feel like less of a burden.

Sort of, but skinny when older still makes it easier to be happy. I am only 41 so far, but in hanging out with people older than me, it still held pretty consistent for them.

The main problem, of course, is that losing weight (or not putting it on in the first place) is not straightforward. So many people will tell you to “just simply…” not how it works. It’s complex as hell and varies a surprising amount from person to person. You could go to multiple experts for help before finding a solution for everything that was in your way specifically. But everyone acts like it should just be a simple thing “you just aren’t balancing your input and output”, or whatever their one simple trick is.

There could be any of hundreds of things in the way.

As someone who has been both, happy is easier when skinny than it is when fat. There is that popular mantra “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.

That’s the “obvious plant” logo. A search of “obvious plant dylan” comes up with many much higher quality sources. Without needing to know how to reverse image search. “Dylan meme” also finds versions of it without needing to recognise the logo.

I know it’s a joke, but that thing is just a thin fiberglass shell. It’ll make very little difference in a collision.
