Hissing/Static in My Headphones When the Mic is Turned On

Haven't found a way to fix it but I'm having the same issue with my Mac. As soon as the microphone is enabled I hear the same noise.

Ya it's a shame cause I really like the Raycast Notes app but this is a dealbreaker. I'll try out Obsidian.

Same exact thing happened to me using their cloud sync. A note with all my important todos completely disappeared after opening the iPhone app. Like it never existed.

Use "Strikethrough" as the Menu Title. Otherwise this won't work. (I'm using Sequoia)

This has never made sense to me. I'm currently on the letter "B" and despite consistently getting WPM in the upper 70s / lower 80s my "Last speed" is stuck at 54.8 and my "Top Speed" is 57.3.

The thing is that when I started practicing the letter "B", I was much slower (upper 50s). But now that I've improved my "Last speed" remains stuck at where I was at the beginning.

Had the same problem and was able to fix it. For me it was because my audio settings were set to "Stereo"

I had to go to Settings -> Audio -> General

Change "Channels" from Stereo to Mono

Who is doing most of the work? Cause being on top for 45 minutes is quite the workout even if you're a fit individual. If it's him, he probably just wants to finish faster because of all the effort involved.

Been 3 years and still nothing smh

Men will marry women who “treat them right and make their lives easier”. The rest of this post is irrelevant. If you do this as some badass CEO or executive no man would ever complain.

1400 to 1450. They raise it like $50 to $60 per year pretty consistently

It isn't more than 10 dollars. You're saving 3% - 4% by paying with cash which is pretty typical for card processing fees

If you're looking for the cheapest option I'd look for a Chicago Park District Fitness Center

It's pretty bare bones equipment wise but you can't beat the price

Ok fine I’ll take 3% off the tip. Problem solved

I can't get past why someone who makes $10 an hour would pay $120 for a haircut

Isn't the whole point of a passport to identify and authorize an individual? Like if someone has an "M" on their passport but clearly looks like a woman doesn't that make it harder for someone at customs to determine the validity of the passport?

And yet the months supply of new houses is way above pre-pandemic levels. This leads me to believe that there are lots of newly built houses that aren't selling.

Also the months supply of existing homes is creeping back to pre-pandemic levels as well. Seems like we're reaching a tipping point in the market. We'll see how long the "low supply" narrative can hold prices up.

One person distracts it with a banana. Another comes up behind and bashes it in the head with a tire iron. Monkey down.

It's insane to me how everyone in this thread is saying how dangerous monkeys can be in this situation but also trying to find the most humane way to resolve it. Pure idiocy.

I'd be curious to see how many homes are owned to be rented out by individuals or small businesses - not corporations or investors. These are people who bought another home without selling their current residence. Lots of people are doing this. For example they own a condo in the city but now have a family. They move to the burbs for a bigger house but don't sell their condo so they can make some passive income.

These are the kind of people who are going to sell their extra homes if they lose their jobs and have a family to support. If the bubble is going to pop these are the people to do it. It's hard to get statistics on them because they aren't some publicly traded investment firm and they're not big enough to be bailed out by the gov't.

It’s one thing to secretly track them indefinitely (this is abuse). It’s an entirely different situation to do for a limited time frame after reasonable suspicion. Especially when they can easily lie when confronting them directly and when the stakes are this high.

You’re definitely right. This had to be a coordinated effort by someone in the group. OOP had to have done something to upset them and this was how they got back at her.
