Seems more like the current state of US/US relations to me?

“Russian puppet state pushing Russian agenda. Others not. Tune in at 6 for three hours of detailed analysis.”

Yeah kinda silly, I mean the post title even is about “interesting data” - true or false, the data is interesting. What is the point of downvoting something literally just showing published data?! If you think the data is false/misleading/etc./etc./etc., that doesn’t take away from it being “interesting”, if anything it makes it more “interesting”, so how about stopping in and talking about it instead of just drive-by downvoting??

Typically volume of a track is chosen by the producer/person mixing. You could theoretically get an average volume and scale the tracks gain. This could have the effect of compressing or chopping parts of the song that are purposefully loud while the rest of the song is purposefully quiet.

This is exactly it. Well, this and I’d say the fact that modern digital volume controls evolved from previous analog volume controls where you were literally just adjusting how much the input signal was amplified.

But, back to the “this” - they have similar automatic compression options built in to a lot of AVRs too, often called something to the effect of ‘night mode’ or ‘midnight mode’, but they completely destroy the directors intention … take for example, a ‘scary’ movie with jump scares - the people are supposed to be whispering and somewhat hard to hear, making you strain to hear them, to increase the impact of the loud jump scare - if you compressed that enough (extreme example), you could probably take all the ‘scare’ right out of it. Varying volume within a single track/album/movie/show/etc., is intentional, and more often that not you would not want to compress that.

Track to track and source to source variations are I suppose largely because of a lack of any standards.

Ahahahahaha, so it’s going to be a self-hating Meta AI bot?

That’s not what she said :'(

Oh it was 100% posted for laughing! Total joke! I just ignore products on the high shelves or use a stick to knock them down so as to not embarrass myself ;-)

Every time I reach for something in the supermarket, and my shirt lifts up, and my belly hangs out - I get looks from ALL the ladies.

TWENTY YEARS TOO LATE!

Edit: lol @ downvotes - I was fighting with Firefox memory usage on Linux when most of you were fresh out of diapers. Blind and senseless dedication to a thing without scrutiny and a realistic perspective on the faults of thing is what make “fanbois” a derogatory term.

I think I’ve done the opposite of most. After using keepassx for the last 4 or 5 years I switched to ProtonPass.

Me three.

Not initial replier, but I too immediately assumed you were an American who didn’t vote for him.

Likely because of all the, people, we had running around Canada for five or so years saying “Trudeau isn’t my Prime Minister!”, amongst other more colourful anti-Trudeau slogans.

LOL!!

The original station was called “City TV”, they had a news program called “City Pulse”. In the late 90s/early 00s they launched a 24h news channel and called it “Cable Pulse 24”. At some point along the journey they shortened to that unfortunate name that I will now not ever be able to see and not laugh!!

Yes.

English.

Nice try Facebook.

Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.

It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

Trying to park at a mall, in Toronto, in early December one year (so Christmas shopping ramping up) … amusingly for an appointment with a psychologist.

She had to come out at park the car for me.

Drivers in this city… so, so toxic.
