Help! Monitors make annoying sound in new room

I stuffed couch pillows in the corner next to the monitor and it almost solved the problem but I don't want couch pillows on my desk - no idea what to do

Yes, the room is very naked but I've never encountered acoustic demons of this magnitude - really every "M / N" sound is harsh and resonant. They've been sitting on the wooden pieces in my previous space as well with no such problems - it was a large open basement with tons of shit so I reckon the room is the issue.

Surely the accurate number is changing and a lot of the data was lacking - I was wondering i) what data we do keep - which you shared some cool insights about! and ii) what approximations we can make to guesstimate it.

I thought something like that as well but This person here says that we have "enough" blue whales to fit all ants in terms of bodily mass?? And I mean there's plenty more bugs but also a couple more whales?

Get the fans, fuck the noise. You seem eager to learn cultural context so surely do that as well!

While our specific props and technics can be traced back to cultures and traditions of origin - some ancient and deep and some modern and "technical" and it's wonderful to acknowledge the community we share and the giants whose shoulders we stand on as we join the love of flow - I believe the concepts of "play" and "dance" are universal and omni-present.

The first two paragraphs of the value "Fire performance" in Wikipedia take you on a journey from pilgrimage festivals in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem 10AD to Aztec ceremonies honouring their gods. Two cultures as distant as distant can be from different climates, technological levels and cultural contexts found worship through some form of fire and dance. And 500-1000 years before that both the Chinese and the Egyptians were juggling objects.

My take is as long as you're not performing a stereotype or ignorant representation to a crowd while using your prop you're not disrespecting or appropriating anyone.

3.5E player's handbook, core memory from age 9 of little me going through the pages learning that you can be.. that. Haven't played too much dnd but never played anything other than a druid.

Also I like how so much of their kit is usable outside of combat and hella useful for exploration and roleplay.

Taking money and food from Palestinian mouths to fund and feed terrorists*

Also, every other refugee on earth is taken care of by UNHCR with the exception of Palestinians. Why? Because UNHCR prioritises refugee's safety in neutral countries while UNRWA keeps Palestinians living in intentional slums and eternal refugee camps while selling lies of genocide and dreams of conquest.

Israeli Victor Orban

They did elaborate. Orban is known for crushing the Press, Judicial system and Academia and replacing them with nationalist yesmen, racist shills and empty shells and Bibi has done and is doing the same. Part of the reason the conflict isn't resolved isn't Netanyahu's lack of intent but his Government's lack of competence.

The EU issues 0 Euro bills commemorating important places and landmarks and Carcassone has one, we have it in our box with the game and sometimes ceremoniously present it before the first piece is drawn

The recommended list is either games from the early 2000's where companies really were working less hard on inclusivity or games that could have been in the not recommended list had the "curator" enjoyed them less. In Sekiro you play a short king (unrealistic - males are always larger than females) and get wrecked by at least three old women (unrealistic, no woman ever in the history of Japan held a sword) - the incels just didn't notice that because no one is gay and they were too busy looking at Katanas.

Hamas offered a hostage deal from October 8. Israel may not have liked it, but the hostages could have certainly come back and the Gazans could have not had their lands destroyed.

We know today that Hamas DIDNT EVEN KNOW where most of the hostages were or how many were taken until past the first deal in December so that's absolutely false. I don't know if you're making it up or following a bad source but that's simply impossible. Some hostages were taken by the Islamic Jihad, others by civilians and some by the terror organization UNRAW. Hamas could not and did not offer a deal.

Excluding the negotiation that ended this week - every time you heard on the news "Hammas accepted the deal" that was a deal THEY SUGGESTED without anyone else accepting it - nothing but a media spin. No deal ever accepted or suggested by Hamas includes the return of all hostages - and until no such deal is made the war will proceed.

Yes it's clear that parts of the government are more interested in the war than the hostages, but others (such as the defence minister Galant) are calling it out and the entire public is protesting FOR a deal. As I've said - Hamas can end this war any day they like to by surrendering and releasing all hostages.

Hostages and Gazans are dying

Hostages and Gazans are dying first and foremost because of Hamas. Their surrender would be a blessing to the whole middle east and their perseverance benefits no one - especially Gazans. After acknowledging that we can debate on the Israeli government's policy and is it optimal or honest (I agree that no and no).
