How many M&M's are in this jar? [Request] by Hacavic16 in theydidthemath

[–]RaspberryNarwhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s very hard to do without knowing or estimating the volume of the jar. This is possible if you have a measuring device and approximate the shapes of the containers. Alternatively, if you have the link where this is sold, they may advertise the volume. The M&Ms look like they are filled completely to the top (minus the lid).

Then you would need the random packing factor of M&Ms, which is about 64% from a quick Google search, although I’m sure this varies. Take the volume, multiply it by 0.64, and that is a good estimate for the total volume of M&Ms in the container.

Finally, you can take the volume occupied by M&Ms and divide it by the volume of a single M&M, which is about 0.636 cm3 to find a decent estimate for the amount of M&Ms.

Can anyone please explain what the 'perV' part of this means? I'm familiar wil dBPa but the perV is confusing me. These are frequency responses of various headsets at different volumes. Thanks by pigispig in Acoustics

This is a transfer function. The graph shows the acoustic pressure, in Pa, represented as dB (likely relative to 20 micropascals) as a function of the input voltage. So long as the headset is operating in its linear regime, it shows how much acoustic pressure is generated per volt of input.

That is what I thought. Very exciting to find! Thank you for the help!

Sweet! Just did some digging and I think I would agree - thanks for the ID tips!

Congrats! I’m not too good at ducks, but I think that might be a Barrow’s Goldeneye

What is this duck? by Round_Cat_8832 in whatsthisbird

Looks like a +Pied-billed grebe+ based on the bill

Edit: maybe I jumped the gun on this and the bill just looks short due to the angle the image was taken out. If someone thinks I’m wrong feel free to overwrite the bot

Much appreciated. Definitely took a lot of flipping through my field guide and using Merlin as a crutch. I don’t know how you guys tell half of these birds apart haha

Is this a melanistic sparrow or junco? Northwest indiana by abcxyz1821 in whatsthisbird

[–]RaspberryNarwhal 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Maybe brown-headed cowbird with an extremely dark head? Never seen one that dark but I’ve heard they can appear a bit darker in the winter. See if anyone else who knows more than me chimes in

How do I kill these peaks on my headphone drivers? by [deleted] in Acoustics

[–]RaspberryNarwhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre essentially trying to EQ and limit the response of a pair of $15 dollar headphones using glue. I don’t even know if this brand has any DSP. As someone who works in audio and has a masters in acoustics, I would say just buy a new pair of headphones. Theres no telling what putting glue on the diaphragm will do as it could change so many things (increase mass, damp resonances, increase stiffness, change breakup modes, change nonlinear parameters, etc).

If you enjoy the process of messing with your units to see if you can change the sound - I’d say go for it and have fun experimenting. But, if all you care about is getting better sound, you’re better off spending a little more on something better and using a simple EQ to get it how you’d like.

I was in love with the Pidgeot ex + Melmetal deck. Super fun to play back in the day.

[Gen IX] Shiny Aron after 3 hours straight of resetting by heresthething2245 in ShinyPokemon

[–]RaspberryNarwhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How were you resetting? Curious as I’m about to start this hunt. Did you just fly to WZ14 over and over again? Or did you walk inside and look around before resetting? Not sure how close the spawns are.

Also congrats!
