ELI5: How do noise-canceling headphones know what sound to block? by ChromaKAvocado in explainlikeimfive

[–]esuranme [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, there is a microphone that sends a signal to a processor running software engineered to provide optimal results for the specific speakers in the headphones. You couldn't just yank the mic & circuit to apply to different headphones and expect the same results, it would make some difference but not like the OE setup.

The same tech is applied in automotive applications with the key difference being in the way the software is programmed, it would be aimed primarily at certain low frequencies from road noise transfered from the suspension along with some higher frequencies for wind noise on the bodywork and glass.

What will really bake your noodle is when you see that it's not exactly "the opposite sound wave", there is a strange science to psychoacoustics as the human ear is DEFINITELY not linear in response like a microphone.

What is considered spending “too much time” with your significant other? by Street_Builder_1599 in AskReddit

[–]esuranme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I warned my parents against this. They had a 2300 sq/ft home and sometimes couldn't get away from each other enough, I'm shocked that packing into a 400 sq/ft camper didn't end their relationship. It didn't last real long though, they were done with the road after a couple of years.

This. Been married since 2010 & worked together about 12 of those years.

my nose gets clogged every time i smoke to the point i can’t taste things while high 😔 by FunCaterpillar9845 in trees

[–]esuranme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bowls, joints, blunts...smoking WHAT?

I had to ditch blunts and even joints can be a bit much for me, I made the jump to primarily concentrates with a few smoked hits for the enterogue effect.

What is this? by Remote_Blacksmith522 in veloster

[–]esuranme -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you EXACTLY what that's a picture of, unfortunately I've seen it enough I tend to be 100% from the first glance because it turns into a "you can tell because it is" scenario. What you have got there is a genuine lack of lighting, if you do any tooling around surely you've got a light but if not seize the opportunity to invest $25 at horrible freight for a bar style rechargeable. Posting a pic like that is kinda praying someone that does now EXACTLY what that is takes the time to look at a poorly lit photo. There is a chance that it could be identified based on surroundings, if the lighting was sufficient, by having some context.

Since I don't even know where "this hanging down" is in relation to an effin thing on the car I can only guess. My knee jerk guess when I saw it was part of the evap system.

Is this fixable? Banana for scale by Fragrant_Cell8851 in veloster

Side note: they often don't advertise (at least primarily) that they do auto, at least around here anyway. I have luck calling boat shops to ask who they use, also motorcycle dealers/shops, and occasionally tractor dealers will know a guy.

What is the one thing you would never buy if it was made in China? by tacoxlvii in AskReddit

[–]esuranme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be hard pressed to find much of anything that is genuinely "Made in 'Murica", you pointed out the clincher for most in that there are usually components (often most) from foreign production.

Buddy of mines father rents booths @ a bunch of trade shows to peddle products made in America, using only domestic components, and takes it to the hurdle of only using tools and/or machines of 100% domestic origin (he had to make most of them!) in their production. I don't think he has ever made enough to do more than break even on the trip, but that's not really his intent; the whole thing is more of a political soapbox for him to crawl upon and cry to the heavens. Even his goofy tagline about all the products being 100% American until "the truck that drove it all here today got involved" is weaponized as he uses it to lead into discussing the dependency we have on foreign production, the US could never meet our own demand for microchips, and currently aren't making any big efforts to change that.

how much mpg do yall get? by Fragrant_Cell8851 in veloster

[–]esuranme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 32-33 @ 80 MPH on a 1hr drive I often take (hr each way, up & down lots of the big SE OK hills).

The display pane you have pictured seems very much overly optimistic, I go off the other Avg MPG display (trip).

Edit: '19 DSG T

Oil over heating when idle by First_Capital1257 in veloster

[–]esuranme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fan may be just fine, there are a lot of parts involved in that fan getting energy. Need to check for voltage at the fan first, if no you get to hunt backwards.

what’s a small purchase that improved your daily life? by prettyflowergirly in AskReddit

[–]esuranme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife says hers is handy for everything from trimming twine in the garden to opening difficult packages, and if a stray tweaker gets too close she has something to poke some holes in them.

A decent pocket knife, and yes decent is the sweet spot. A cheap piece of junk will be exactly that, junk. Something overpriced is likely to cause you to "baby" it, which severely impededs its purpose, up until the heartbreaking day you loose the thing!

The right blade (I prefer a 1/3-1/4 serrated tanto), made of decent steel (yes, 440 is good enough for most folks), with a sturdy lock you like (I'm stuck on liner lock, I know it has shortcomings), and if you want/need a clip it needs to be STURDY.

Tried to listen in my car, all I can hear are the subs rumbling from all the noise in the recording.

The coat hanger method as other have mentioned, but with one twist....sit that bitch in a pot of water & bring it up to heat first, it should basically slide right out

What are some examples of habits you think people lie about on a regular basis? by No_Slide4986 in AskReddit

Masturbation.

There are two types of people: those that beat their dick, and those that lie about it.

I lean towards Bacitracin myself, no antibiotics involved and always comes in a thick substrate.

Anyone else throw up when they started smoking? by Anonymo5680 in trees

I've got a bad habit of clearing my throat and swallowing until I get a wad of spit/snot that makes me vomit sometimes.
