Of course, it’s not the sound that blocks the wheel but the electromagnetic parasites that are produced by the coil in any speaker

What the fuck am I reading?

I'm reading a lot of "this can't be true because I feel that it isn't" in this reply. But I can't go individually track down all the sources at the moment so I'll give the benefit of the doubt for now.

I mean in the 60s we all thought we'd be destroyed by atomic bombs

Which wasn't something that was guaranteed to happen. You had a reasonable hope that political interaction would make that unnecessary, which is what ended up happening.

We are 100% guaranteed to face climate catastrophe and can no longer prevent it, only attempt to handle and contain it when it inevitably crosses the line of survivability, and even that is looking unlikely these days. These things are not the same.

The top two results you've posted here aren't even SEO blogs, they're official sources. Recipe sites have been bullshit since long, long, long before the past year and the current trend of SEO enshittification. This argument doesn't hold water.

Would you rather trust information from Forbes, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, MassMutual Financial Group, or the Consumer Electronics Association?

Good, because that's where nearly all their sources are from. Click the links. Leads right to the primary source.

At least read the article before dismissing it out of hand.

I was in middle school in 2005 and had basically no friends largely because I had no phone to text with.

Especially because it seems like the overwhelming majority of adults have forgotten how much it sucks to be a kid. A kid or teen's world is much smaller. Sure, their biggest problems might be next week's science fair and what that one girl from math class thinks about them, but those are huge insurmountable problems to someone who has never had to worry about being unable to feed their family. The problems are comparatively smaller but that doesn't mean they're any less emotionally devastating. I remember being a teen. I remember the emotional and spiritual pain I went through trying to talk about the things I care about, or were worried about, only to be told that my problems weren't problems and weren't a big enough deal to matter. In the Grand Scheme? Sure, maybe they weren't such a big deal. But at the time they mattered to me a lot.

Most adults have forgotten what it was like to be a teenager and they dismiss them out of hand.

Yeah but I'm not out here paying $50 to put some pixels on someone else's post. Cry more

This particular dev didn't. But the Starfield team at large has been blowing up the internet recently telling people that don't like the game that their opinions are wrong.

Your fellow Americans haven't decided shit. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of Ukraine. A handful of Republicans have decided that their bit of kompromat and pocket change is more important than the trajectory of world politics. You want to be mad at someone, be mad at them, and let's make sure their history and policy choices are reflected when they're up for reelection.

Insult, no elaboration. Classic. Nah I think he's pretty spot on. If you're going to say something about it then back up your argument.

Being generous, I'd say I could run maybe a half mile at full tilt before I collapse completely. +400% stamina would put me at two miles, and the shoes last "while stamina lasts." Pretty strong, but not Flash OP.
