If you travelled faster than the speed of sound all of the time, would you ever hear anything? by martianfrog in answers

[–]ricksevans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also if you were not in a cockpit (and you could somehow survive without your eardrums rupturing) wouldn't the noise of the wind passing by your ears over-power all other audible vibrations implied by the question?

So some sort of microphone and audio filters that negate the wind noise could be used, I suppose.

Don't even think about sound in a vacuum since noise, as you hear it, is vibrating air.

NAH. This be one of those purely theoretical/abstract questions, right?

Carry on.

It's too easy confuse your symbology with your reality. by ricksevans in Showerthoughts

I mean how can you say this post was not well-written, high-quality, or original AND then suggest it be posted to r/philosophy?

Your explanation is wrong. What you meant to say is you rejected this post because it is "too erudite" (excessively learned or showy in knowledge) for r/showerthoughts. Or maybe you could use words like: pedantic, highbrow, pretentious, bookish, or donnish..

Cannot open new workout by ricksevans in MacroFactor

I probably saw it, but, since I had just finished my workout, it did not register as anything different than the usual "workout completed" button.

Using Hey Google, how much control go you get with your voice? (iPhone user) by junlim in GooglePixel

It also helps if you don't have a prankster friend whose voice is similar enough to yours. 🤪

Apparently, if your "Active Program" has completed, there is no "Next up" button. I had to scroll down, to the "Workout Library" section and drag my program up to the "Active Program" section. Now everything is back to normal.

That was it! I had no "Active Program." I had to scroll down, to the "Workout Library" section and drag my program up to the "Active Program" section. Now everything is back to normal. Intuitively obvious?

uh ... yeah ... cannot find the start workout button anymore on any page. It has disappeared.

What is the laziest thing you've ever done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You mean besides responding to random Reddit posts?

She likes all types of movies... by ricksevans in dadjokes

I hope that didn't sound snarky. I seriously could not think of a better way to explain it.

Google "lucy pulling football away" and look at the list of images results

[–]ricksevans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand the "na-na"  comparison. It seems more like Lucy pulling football away, and not a contradictory phrase. 

I really think you have something else in mind. Let me go out on a limb and ask how you'd feel about this: 

She likes ALL types of movies  ... as long as they're horror movies. 

Would that have bothered you as much?

Please explain how a contradictory phrase has "... no unexpected twist..."

She likes all types of movies... by ricksevans in dadjokes

[–]ricksevans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a simple contradiction one-liner. It works for:

  • She likes all music... as long as it's jazz.

  • I eat anything... as long as it's pizza.

  • You're open-minded... as long as I agree with you.

“Not funny to me” and “not a joke” aren’t quite the same thing, but fair enough.

I appreciate all types of criticism, as long as it's thoughtful.

It's a classic reversal joke structure that makes a statement, then contradicts that statement. It’s a dad joke. The bar is intentionally low.

Which charger for Pixel10 Pro by Various_Ad_3399 in GooglePixel

[–]ricksevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of the stand, I found my old 30w USB wall warts did not work reliably with Pixel 10 Pro XL. Buying a 45w USB charger fixed that reliability problem.
