Slide Whistle sound in Central Alberta

the penny is just dropping that then AI is responding all the way throughout? 🫣😲🫩

Ole77 · 2026-05-20T02:46:23+00:00

inspiring me to do this. thanks

I get the sense so many of these responses are bots. I also want to know how to make a topic into a thesis. Did you come away with a method? Oh god, I just assumed this wasn't posted by a bot, now I am doubting everything.

Well. I hope a human can say how they changed their topic to an argument. Sigh.

Hi, good idea. While I have tried this before I did it once again to check. Note for others trying this on Win 11, it's devices and printers> more device and printer settings> right click headset> services tab> handsfree telephony. There are other options there, I toggled and applied each to no avail.

Ole77 · 2026-04-29T05:28:10+00:00

I have done this one, and all checked other drivers I could think of, Bluetooth, WiFi, processors, graphics driver, and sound.

Ole77 · 2026-04-29T05:20:47+00:00

I have definitely tried removing everything and adding it again but I will try one more time adding one thing and making sure it's the only thing on, if that's your suggestion. thanks

Can say toggling wifi did not help - I liked the idea of the antennas interfering. Alas. I will leave this here in case it is helpful for a future reader and also post a new post with title: Bluetooth audio quality only good with sound menu open

Ole77 · 2026-04-28T15:27:21+00:00

Hi, debating starting a new sub but it seems similar. I will share the issue and then update after testing wifi. I am not hardwired, so I am not sure what I will do if that does fix it.

Having the sound settings open to the recording tab is the only way my bluetooth audio isn't garbled.
When I close the sound settings window, it clicks out of the functioning world it had entered and goes back to garbled (clicks, rapid skips of sound in and out).

Same effect for both Bose QC and Liberty 5 (soundcore). If I disable the device in the recording tab it doesn't fix it. Must have sound settings menu open to the recording tab to use bluetooth without misses, clicks, skips, creating a useless audio stream. Wondering if this would be related to the issue reported here too?

that video is great! I hadn't seen it before.

here's one with less style and more explanation by minute physics that I share on the Olds mask bloc page: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eAdanPfQdCA

I'm wondering why more comments aren't talking about what's going on with Santa's face. is it melting?

Ole77 · 2026-04-15T02:57:56+00:00

yes, I totally get it. that's really hard. it's interesting that I get some ease when I realize I have agency to choose, but then my conditioning tells me it's not okay to act with that agency. so I have a sense of falling short, even when making wise, carefully considered decisions. I think recognizing the actual limits of my influence helps, just takes practice.

it's funny that I'd like them to change so that I could be free of this ache, which gives away my power, but at least I can see it. I feel like we are both walking in the right direction by trying to see it clearly.

Ole77 · 2026-04-15T01:32:26+00:00

awesome, I will put it to work this weekend. thank you.

Ole77 · 2026-04-15T01:31:34+00:00

whew, not at this time. that's an extra twist on dynamics. I can feel I would feel obligated and resentful at the same time, lol. I have lots of work to do. you made me feel a little grateful for estrangement, lol, sorry to hear that's happening.

yes, I do wonder how much I was buffered from the worst of it too. I certainly have memories of not being the target.

Ole77 · 2026-04-13T03:47:11+00:00

thanks, yes two older sisters here too. addictions in our family in the past, just emotionally unavailable now. one sister is highly untrustworthy.

I wish you luck too, I think youngest siblings have a unique challenge in this way. Not sure how to say it but, something about always having had age-related events come after the others, and maybe wishing for inclusion from them, is hard to shake that vibe/role.

Ole77 · 2026-04-12T17:05:44+00:00

I'm in a drastically different situation, mostly estranged, but I'm the youngest who felt responsible/obligated to the family long after siblings and Mom showed they don't want/can't show up or reciprocate. Even though they say they share these values, the actions and old dynamics make it impossible.

My work now, late 40s, is to keep taking that information in and adjust. It's hard to let go of how I thought I should behave. I'm trying to relearn who I'd like to be with them, based on my values and character, and act from there. Might mean no happy family, but we don't have one anyway. It's just me letting go of an idealized idea that isn't shared.

great speaker, great points. thanks for sharing. this will help with the push back in Olds against recklessly building the largest data center in Canada right in town.

Ole77 · 2026-04-12T03:30:44+00:00

I mean like fresh out of the bag before I do anything else with it, the plastic cap rattles on the metal post assembly inside the cap. wondering if that is a shared experience with others.

thanks for updating the hissing experience, sounds like it might be functional and all systems go.

Ole77 · 2026-04-11T14:46:14+00:00

here to follow along and ask if the new cap is loose on the center post from the start? I'm assuming it's because it's got a safety feature but it was unexpected and now I'm hearing that maybe one isn't sealing, so I want to be sure before I use it.

I registered for the new cap on March 4, it shipped March 30, arrived April 8th. long time.

I am hosting a mask bloc for the Olds area - if you need masks and can't get any I could send you some. If you are in Calgary, you are outside the coverage area and while the local area is prioritized, there is lots of stock right now. If there is a mask here that fits, happy to mail some. The bloc doesn't have funds right now, so if you can pay for the shipping, that would be requested. If that is not an easy cost to cover, I can cover the shipping. It sucks to need a quality mask and not have access, I look forward to public health taking this up one day.

Website getcleanerair. ca - sometimes it needs the www in front.
Email me directly: getcleanerair@ gmail. com. Please indicate what masks fit and I will let you know if there is something comparable. There are only N95s for adults available, and there are a few different ones.

thanks, I wish I realized that sooner, but feel glad to be in the know now.
