Also interesting that if I actually attempt to focus on the word itself, I perceive laurel very readily. If not paying attention, yanny comes through sharply.
My roommate tried showing this to me, and given the context, my brain went into hyper-analytical mode. On the first listen, it sounded very much like both of the words played in different tonalities and relatively coherent modulation (as though they were rendered with some sort of speech synth), though Laurel was more understated on the speakers in use (internal TV speakers). If I had not been tainted by assumptions of what to expect, I'd most likely have heard Yanny or Ronny or similar. Psychoacoustics is fun:3, and I'm curious to how they produced the sound byte (may already be known, but I haven't had a chance to follow up on it)
On the convex mirror, the label usually reads something like "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Not sure they do this in other places, but I'm with you on the excess of writing. Sadly, folks around here don't seem to pay attention to even the most basic of symbology, e.g. red octagons (usually emblazoned with STOP) and the inverted red-bordered triangle (usually emblazoned with YIELD). I feel that a lot of it exists to provide authorities with excuses to get at people, but more importantly to me, they do provide you with some level of legal protection when somebody causes trouble by ignoring them (note that this must be combined with a dashcam, as this is the land of the free... wait, i mean pro bono personal injury attorney, and an honest witness's word is worth about the air that was set into motion by in saying it.
Regarding the kids, not being of legal voting age is actually a pretty decent reason not to vote. Regarding the 20-somethings, I'd love to hear their excuses. Actually I wouldn't. I didn't vote in the presidential election, though I live in a red state in which a few hundred thousand votes wouldn't have made a lick of difference. I suspect their logic will be equally flawed. I fucked up, and so did anyone else who thought the same thing; you can bet your ass I won't not vote again, especially in the primaries (which are apparently OPEN in Texas, which came as something of a surprise to me).
I hereby declare you to be wrong, good sir, and will stubbornly refuse to provide any additional details which might aid others in understanding precisely why that is.
Not saying you're wrong, but it's best to give a little bit more qualification than just slapping ex-pres names onto a concept. Unless your point is to not be taken seriously. IIRC his original suggestion was that there should simply be no blocking/throttling/"fast lanes", and a requirement for much greater transparency on the part of involved parties. I'm open to debate about whether or not Title II was a misstep, as I can see some merit for making some adjustments to that definition as an alternative to the others.
Take a chill pill and have a laugh, buddy. https://www.tedcruzforhumanpre... As a Texan who straddles many political fences, it's debatable whether or not I'd vote for him, or at all; but, unlike so many I encounter that seem to put forth a sentiment similar to your own, I will need to do significantly more research on the matter before polluting the system with my vote. It is, however, okay to disagree with folks, and actually a very good thing when civil discourse can arise from said disagreements; sadly, I don't see this as a likely prospect for this AC.
Unless you're some unlucky soul working a computer with a typing stick or pneumatic input device, I don't see the issue, provided the settings are easy to undo/reconfigure, have sane defaults, the ability to set said defaults if desired, and an option to just put it back on automagic.
Oh, wait wait wait a minute. It's actually pretty obvious. They simply want exclusive control over the whitelist/blacklist. Why couldn't I see that before?
I'm assuming they're afraid someone is going to hurt themselves with this, or they'd just provide a fucking option. Making this a choice for the user would likely have avoided the issue altogether. Having trouble trying to determine if they're practicing for future nanny-states in which anything sharper than a bowling ball will need to be made out of special foam, and heavily regulated, or if they're just trying to stay ahead of Firefox in the most important browser performance metric, the version number. Anyhow, I've had enough of the horseshit from both Mozilla and Google, so don't expect to hear much more out of me, regarding browsers, their plugins and API,etc., as I've thoroughly spoken my piece. Yes, I am aware that nobody actually cares; these are opinions, after all. Just a note to Google and Mozilla, it's been years since I was a hard-line advocate for either of your softwares.
I use this [mozilla.org] to allow Thunderbird to interoperate,
Not to be too much of a pest, but I really wonder what they're going to do when Thunderbird dumps its existing plugin APIs in favor of WebExtensions...
Thunderbird's on its way out, at least for me, on account of their wanting to dump XUL and such in favor of becoming WebExtensions crippleware. Good luck writing an alternative service provider in WebExtensions.
Every domain I enter on their thing gives a useless error message "please enter a valid blah blah". Anyhow, only domain I would've been interested in registering would have been cr.app, which was registered on 2018-05-08, so I suspect they're going to squat their own ultra-short names, and possibly everything potentially profitable that gets entered in that search box (if so, then it's a tr.app!). If someone can get it to work, crr.app seems to be available (per whois), so get it while it's hot!
Confirmed. I tried again last night, and came back to consciousness today singing a song in a tongue I did not know, but understanding that it was in his praise.
I, personally, thought to the joke was funny enough, albeit off-color. Black humor is still humor, and I personally recommend its persistence if only as a defense against the professionally offended. That being said, I can sympathize a bit with folks who are legitimately offended by something like this (primarily because death as a whole is a subject that requires concern/consideration when talking about it in certain contexts), in contrast to those who are essentially allowing themselves to be offended on behalf of some other entity/group. As a final note, if someone has read this comment, and assumed that they are a target of my labeling as a professional offense taker, some soul-searching is recommended, as that was basically my intention.
Only tangetially relevant to parent, but a note of caution to those who deride millenials for being millenials... might want to look up the varying definitions of the term, as it can easily include folks up into their mid 30s. Kind of funny when you turn out to be the very thing you're making fun of, or worse yet, a post-millenial... let me tell you about those post-millenials...
Also has the probable benefit (in beef, at least) of pre-treating the meat so it stays red and looks "fresh" longer. Re: exsanguination, the kosher/halal way of slaughter might have some merits to them, especially over CO2 suffocation. They both appear to prescribe quickly severing the airway and major blood vessels.

And if you mean something obfuscated and unnecessarily complicated, newer versions of Windows might be in the running. /snark

After looking into it, it seems my assumptions were completely ill-founded, and it was produced from a recording of the word laurel. Neat stuff.

I've seen them on signs in public car parks in Texas. Don't eat the pavement, I guess.

Should also note that that was checked via WHOIS, as their site did not work for me.
I actually noted below that it seems to have been pre-registered (2018-05-08). crr.app seems to be available still.

That's part of the problem, they don't just want to be in the middle.
Better still, some (*cough* MS patches going to Win7 and 2K8) introduced additional flaws...
