  • Its quite odd that Ukranians were being handled differently in the first place.
    Its as if they were deemed to have more value than those pesky normal refugees.

    Here in Germany during the “refugee crisis” 2015 I noticed a heavy uptick in ticket controls in the public transport, while as with Ukrainians during 20222 the public transports advertised on billboards that Ukrainian refugees can drive for free. Biggest difference between the two groups? The skin color…

    I know it is only anecdotal but to me it was noticeable.




  • My grandfather died in the 80s, 20 years later my grandma got a boyfriend, a widower similar to her age, so both in their mid 70s. She once said that she thought she would be alone for the rest of her life and never thought she would be so in love again.

    They never married but had 15 beautiful years with each other. What I’m saying is that it’s never too late to find happiness, no matter what that might entail.





  • Under “Goals” on the Wikipedia page.

    Its goal is to allow consumers to compare the overall nutritional value of food products from the same group (category), including food products from different manufacturers.

    But, I agree that it’s confusing. The fact that you could miss the point of them even after skimming the Wikipedia shows how flawed their design is by not explaining it in simple terms on the label. And the Wikipedia page is also bad, why is it not mentioned in the first sentence in the introduction part?




  • …that’s not how those work.

    If a frozen pizza gets a B that means compared to OTHER frozen pizzas it has a higher nutritional value.

    It compares similar products for nutritional value, not the overall “healthiness” of all products compared with each other.

    So you can compare a salami pizza with a veggie pizza or a cereal bar with cereals, but not a strawberry yogurt with a chocolate bar, because those are not within the same product group.






  • That’s not entirely true, cancelling sound waves can also be done on a large scale. I’ve seen it on festivals or other open air venues, where they stack two rows of subwoofers behind each other in a precisely calculated distance to cancel out the bass notes towards the back of the stage, meaning walking in front of the subs you could hear it normally, walking behind them and the bass notes where very faint and clearly coming as a bounce back from walls or the like. So they effectively cancelled out the frequencies towards the back.

    But that doesn’t help OP since that works way better on lower frequencies, with higher notes you’ll need the precise localization you’re talking about. So the high pitched noises from a hard drive probably won’t work.
