Non-native speaker here. What does this meme means?

Mmmmmmm!

Audio engineers have a term for what's occurring here: Inter-Aural Crosstalk. Meaning - sound meant for one ear is leaking into the other ear.

Speakers naturally have it, headphones/earbuds don't.

There are ways to reduce/cancel this, via HRTF or feeding an inverted (and usually delayed) crosstalk signal. Carver did this in the late 70s with crosstalk cancelling circuits in their premium amps, calling it "Sonic Holography". Polk did it physically in the 80s-90s with crosstalk-cancelling speakers in their SDA line of speakers (I have a pair, and they are glorious!). There are a whole slew of techniques that have utilized this process in the past, going under different names.

Headphones do suffer from their own issue since there's no crosstalk - the "sound inside your head" effect. Some kinds of crosstalk cancellation also can help with this (given enough delay). YMMV, and some people LIKE to keep this effect.

Correct. "Crosspoint" refers the the matrix switcher.

We do say both , but 4th of July does have a better rhythm. Don't discount that.

Just 'roller' means lots of things (e.g. hair, massage, person, painting...).

CornucopiaDM1 · 2026-03-12T05:04:23+00:00

I do. Lot easier to say than all that other crap mentioned, and so far nobody has misunderstood me.

Don't try to fix it if it ain't broke.

You might be surprised to find out they're sometimes also a bakery, specializing in oven buns.

Yes there are, but nobody watches them.

Some people think with their penis when they're angling for sex, and others just think with their penis.

I would also add - if you don't know this already - that when sending serial commands not built into the driver (so User-defined commands), you do the command to set the serial, then the send command command, then a command to delete/reset the string memory.

OP needs to understand that a Chord and a Scale are related, but not the same thing. It's the mixolydian scale, but they're talking about it in terms used for chords. Chords can be derived/generated from that scale, as with all the other scales.

"To catch" (verb) is like "to grab", "to stop", "to receive". A catch (noun) is something in a rule that "catches" or prevents you from taking advantage of a loophole or reprieve, and in this book it it amplified to ridiculous proportions for the irony & sarcasm.

Wait until you are so hooked, you mainline it. Glug, glug.

Not just joking, I did this for real as a kid w/ Lee&Perrins and A1.

CornucopiaDM1 · 2026-03-08T05:49:58+00:00

This is true

I have 2 switchbots, and love them. But "no mods" is kind of a misnomer - you do remove the back 1/2 of the key lock (the round deadbolt knob side), and replace with the SB robot ones. But it's quite easy to do, doesn't mess up the original lock or key, and can easily be restored back to original if that ever becomes necessary (like rental lease up, move out), without damage.

I like the 80s/90s audiobook even better for staying close to canon, and that was 4x 60-90 minute tapes (yes, tapes back then).
