It probably also helps that the dense clouds appear black, and dense clouds mean a more severe storm. I wonder if the ink contrast is more of a perk than the primary reason, compared to darkness being a convenient power metaphor for storms.
Buy, buy, buy — may not always play, but definitely buy. We know this habit is a bit odd.
不太奇怪，西方人也这样。谢谢你的故事。很有意思啊！我希望你以后会多分享一些。
Fair. In my case I wish someone had not overlooked the systemic inflammation (from a different condition that has been recently correlated with OA, somewhat unexpectedly) and the malmechanics I was experiencing, so that I might have avoided some of the further issues, but, so it goes.
I manage to shift some of the chronic pain, but sadly society really likes to build worlds that have only one blessed way of doing certain things, which makes it impossible to shift more consistently. So I will have to mostly content myself with smugly sore.
Given you appear to be a doctor though, I do have one favor to ask. If you ever get a flexible kid with crepitus come through your doors, maybe add a CRP test to their blood work, just on the off-chance and even if only for the chain of evidence.
So when people told me as a kid not to worry about my crepitus, they were in fact completely wrong? If so, I’m feeling vindicated but also sore, but that’s better than only sore.
He actually said the phrase “ensure a fair deal for working people”. Who thought it was a good idea to put that in the speech knowing he was going to be fully dressed in the spoils of exploitation? You’d think they’d at least temper it with the comparative term “fairer” if the more sensitive wardrobe option was truly off the table.
Or if you didn’t file 5 years of tax returns - even if you’ve never lived or earned income in the US.
This caught an acquaintances of mine who was accidentally born in the US when their mother went into early labor. They found out about both the rule of the land and the exit tax when they were an adult when their application for citizenship in a different country was rejected for already being a dual citizen of the US.
Peter dinklage doesn’t have a Twitter account. This is someone who just wants to keep using people with dwarfism as the butt of their jokes.
I’m not sure I understand. Peripheral hallucinations are a recognized type of hallucination, and hallucinations can involve anything from shadows or flashes of light through to full vivid imagery. It only requires perceiving anything that isn’t really there and but it feels real. The patterns or colors you see when you close your eyes are considered hallucinations too.
We had slightly different readings.
As he was writing he became aware that he was being watched, and a figure slowly emerged to his left. It was indistinct and on the periphery of his vision but it moved as V.T. would expect a person to. The apparition was grey and made no sound… V.T. was unable to see any detail and finally built up the courage to turn and face the thing. As he turned the apparition faded and disappeared.
He experienced a visual disturbance in his periphery manifesting as the false perception of a person. Even without it being interpreted as a person, that’s a textbook mild hallucination.
Once V.T. knew this he calculated the frequency of the standing sound wave … 18.97Hz … plus or minus 10%
Table IV on page 212 of this book shows frequencies causing disturbance to the eyes and vision to be within the band 12 to 27 Hz.
Most interestingly, a NASA technical report mentions a resonant frequency for the eye as 18 Hz (NASA Technical Report 19770013810).
He cited two sources inline with ranges narrower than 8-40Hz which indicate that vision can be affected at the same frequencies he measured in the lab. He even noted that everyone would have slightly different resonant frequencies.
No, it’s not a full research paper, but it is the citation you requested.
I believe the poster is referring to The Ghost in the Machine, Published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol.62, No 851 April 1998 (pdf)
Wrong end of the spectrum, unfortunately. You’ll have better luck with your local ham radio club.
If you know you’re alone at home and then hear voices, that might be one way. There are ways to distinguish the presence of people beyond sight.
Blindness is much more than total blindness, which only describes a minority of blind people. There are different definitions, but the World Health Organization puts the definition as less than 3/60 or a visual field of less than 10 degrees in the better-seeing eye. That basically means that if you need to be more than 20 times closer to an object to be able to see the same level of detail, or you have almost no peripheral vision, you qualify.
Anyone want to trade 20 routers for shortwave radios? I hope nobody was planning on tuning in to Voice of America tonight.
“While cavitation occurs at low frequencies and destroys both viruses and tissues through the collapse of gas bubbles, acoustic resonance operates at high frequencies of 3–20 MHz,”
Brb, making a blanket out of 802.11ah routers.
If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called “No-QAnon”. The list itself might not be smuggled, but it’s not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.
Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click “remove” over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.
Yeah, even there. A page loading is one thing, but browser features are somewhat independent of the content. There’s also a good chance this is being used as a hook for other Google products like Drive or Docs (which are basically websites under the hood) to allow offline file management, creation, etc.
It’s a bad choice, but it wouldn’t be the first bad choice Google has made.
Trauma responses are hard. I think it’s great you’re actively working on it and are conscious of your own biases, that’s huge. Good luck!
They need their features to work offline too probably.
This list is weird, aside from the length. They must be using a very greedy regexp for this many instances to have their names partially censored.
The text “buds” has been censored, all the instances using the TLD “university” have had “univer” removed, and the word “hangout” is also gone. “Shitpisscum” made it through, so it can’t just be about slightly naughty words. Also annihilation.social is listed 3 times for some reason.
Are these slurs in a culture I’m not familiar with? Does piefed do this everywhere?
Strong disagree. Prevalent literary tropes are always worth dissecting, because they reveal a lot about the cultures that construct them, and provide us with insights into how to be better people.
In this case, the quantity of black lightning heroes may indicate that non-white skin color is / was perceived as such a defining feature of the character, beyond any potential personality facets, that any other power simply wasn’t considered.
If nearly every white comic hero were The Hulk, it would also be shit, and worth raising questions about.
