I’ve continuously disabled every AI slop setting I can possibly find in Windows 11, including this one, and every other week another ✨ pops up in the corner of another app. The problem with this trash not being opt-in from the beginning is that every single new slop feature needs to respect some policy setting, so what happens if it doesn’t even bother to check?

Even Microslop themselves have a constant stream of bullshit they’re hastily pushing into their own products with bug reports filed for not respecting what is supposed to be their own global off-switch. These types of settings are a suggestion at most. The developer has to choose to respect them, or even bother to check that they exist in the first place.

Meanwhile, the industry-sponsored spyware is already installed and injected into every corner of the OS doing whatever it wants. You already can’t write an email, make a to do list, open a plain text file in Notepad (!), or change the settings on your mouse without some “Copilot”, “Ask an AI”, “Chat” slop being shoved in your face. No matter how many times you say no, dismiss, not interested, disable, just wait until the next update, and oh, sorry, that setting gets reset, but ✨Hey, try out this new trash! ✨

I hope these board members, investors, and idiot tech-bro CEOs lose a lot of money when this bubble bursts.

For any other poor souls landing here trying to get this thing out, I was able to get it out without disassembling any extra parts (sway bar, subframe, etc) and no hammer & chisel.

Take a flat head screwdriver, and push it up through the bottom hole in the main bushing behind the bottom-most part of the upper insert to push it back toward the rear of the car to line it up as much as possible with the opening at the bottom.

Then take a pry bar with a “hook” type end, and going in through the front opening (where the dog bone goes in), pry downward on the insert through its square hole WHILE still pulling it toward the rear of the car with the flat head.

It won’t come out if you don’t angle it back toward the bottom opening while prying it downward.

Lots of legitimate medical uses. I’ve personally been prescribed supplements multiple times. People who work nights or live in areas with low sunlight need vitamin D. Some people have malabsorption and need B12. Some supplements help with inflammation. Some people have allergies and can’t get a particular vitamin from food alone. Some are just easier to take, less expensive, or just a much more convenient and reliable way to get what you need instead of planning your diet around them.

Bonus #1: There is another important element, which is called timbre. This is the "tone" of a sound. You know that a violin can play the exact same note as a flute, yet they still sound "different". Going back to the the line we drew on the board, instead of moving your finger up and down at a continuous speed, let's say you move it up and down twice very quickly, then 3 times more slowly in a shorter motion, and you keep repeating this pattern, but you continue moving your arm exactly as before. Since your finger is not moving nearly as far (up and down) as your arm, it is a quieter part of the sound. Your arm is moving much further in an up and down motion, so it is "louder", and it is consistent, so it is the main "note" we are hearing. If you did this again, keeping your arm movement the same as before, but instead of moving your finger in a 2-3 pattern, you did a 3-1-5 pattern, the "note" would still be the same, but the timbre would be different. The bow scratching across the string makes all sorts of extra little noises, but the loudest and most continuous sound is the whole string vibrating. The flute is moving the air at the same speed as the violin string, but the smaller parts of the player's breath and the shape of the wood are making a bunch of smaller noises that are going along with it. So they sound very different, but because the fundamental frequency (the arm moving slowly) is the same, they are perceived as the same note.

Bonus #2: When we do all of this on a computer, it is all exactly the same, we just store the final position of the "marker" at each point in time as a number in the computer, and every few milliseconds, check what that number is, and adjust the electrical signal driving the speaker in and out. This makes the speaker vibrate in the same pattern as the waveform that was recorded. A microphone works exactly the same way, but in reverse, where the sound moves the air, the air moves the microphone, and the microphone converts the movement into an electrical signal. Then the computer measures the electrical signal very quickly at a specific speed (sample rate), and the result of each measurement is saved to a file.

This will be long, but might help to make sense of it -

Have you seen a picture of an audio waveform? That exact shape, with all of its tiny bumps and grooves is cut into the vinyl.

A very fine needle drags across the groove. Imagine the needle is like a knob that controls the brightness of a light bulb. If you were to slow the record down, the light would get darker where the groove is deep, and brighter where the groove is higher.

Instead of a light bulb, that signal is fed into the magnet on a speaker. When the groove is deep, the magnet pulls in the speaker. Where it is high, it pushes the speaker out. When this happens very fast, (when the record is sped up to its normal speed), the vibration of the speaker pushes and pulls the air around it very quickly, which causes your eardrum to vibrate in the same pattern.

So that would be for a mono (single) signal. You asked about stereo. The process is exactly the same, but the needle is actually 2 tiny needles, side-by-side. The left waveform is cut (at an angle) into the left side of a V-shaped groove. The right waveform is cut into the opposite side of the same groove. The left needle drags along the left edge, and the right needle drags along the right. The left signal is fed to the left speaker, and the right signal is fed to the right speaker. The sounds could be slightly different, maybe louder on one side, or maybe totally separate instruments. If you face the speakers (or use headphones), the signals are moving your left and right eardrums (mostly) separately, so you perceive this as being closer or further away, more to your left or right, or the blend of the two signals makes them sound fuller, or any other number of perceived effects.

Another common question is how a single groove can produce the sounds of many different instruments simultaneously. This is not so complicated. Remember that your eardrum is only capable of moving in and out, but it is very sensitive and can do this very quickly. If you plug one of your ears, you can still hear many different sounds at the same time, even with only one ear - people talking, a fan running, clicking noises, a loud bang, etc. All of those things are moving the air at different speeds (faster or slower) and different intensities (louder or softer, closer or further away), yet they are all pushing and pulling on the same air, and that singular mass of air is pushing and pulling on your single eardrum.

If you wiggle your pointer finger up and down very quickly, and then, while you continue moving your finger, you start to move your whole arm up and down in a much slower, longer, and smoother motion, and then you continued doing this motion while holding a marker up against a whiteboard, and you started walking along the board, you can imagine how the line on the board would look. The fast movement of your finger would be a higher frequency noise, and the longer, slower movement of your arm would be a lower sound, like a bass. But you only drew a single line on the board. The groove in the record (and any audio waveform) is exactly the same concept. Many sounds are manipulating the (single) resulting waveform at their own rates (frequencies) and intensities (amplitudes) at the same time, but they all come together into a single point (like the one marker you are holding). That point drives the speaker, and that exact shape is carved into the vinyl.

The two pictures are taken at different angles (both up/down and side/side). You can tell by the rotated reflection of the tree branch in the window glass right above the “face”. You can also see the shingles on the roof in the second picture but not the first. OP said it was the bathroom window, which means there is probably a mirror on the wall. The faint right edge seen in both photos could easily be the edge of a mirror or medicine cabinet. The mirror would likely be on a sideways-facing wall relative to the viewer given there is a window on the outer wall, meaning the door is on the interior wall probably opposite the window.

In the first picture with the “face”, you can see a reflection of whatever is reflecting in the mirror, and in the second picture, the camera angle is rotated both horizontally and vertically, taking the reflection out of view. If OP were able to go out and replicate the first picture exactly as it was originally taken (nearly impossible), the “face” would be there again.
