If the article I read is accurate they've had 4 cases confirmed. Apparently brought in by a Frenchman and they are treating him. Retroactive testing shows people possibly exposed are negative.
Trump call COVID-19 "genius" and "brilliant" in his press conference today. I think he meant "resilient" or "adapted".
I have to admit; I totally get why Trump supporters like him. He's about as articulate as the average redneck. Seems like "tough" or "defensive" would be more accurate and still fit in the vernacular.
"Look folks, it surprised us, okay. SARS came thru a few years ago and was like, "See you can't cause a true pandemic." and COVID-19 was like, "Hold my beer."... You just can't predict what happens next, guys."
Anyway, I'm aware that many times I just translate Portuguese to English words without caring if the result is the correct way of speaking in English or not.
Per your usual one might assume the proper translation (minus the extra "*") is: "I want to fuck the program". Now I think you meant; "I want the program to fuck off". And I can agree, you did fine without it.
Proper edicate depends on the hat, I suppose. Like situations not all are so formal.
Take your hat off at the dinner table. And when you ask a lady to dance. Those seem universal. Wearing one indoors isn't taboo with friends/family. But, it'll set you apart as someone with sense when you're a guest to less familiar folks. If they're wearing hats, though, you don't wanna linger on the point.
I guess that depends on grooming habits and where you... I mean hats! I like to wear all kinds of hats. Not often talked about, I like tipping my hats and other hat gesturing. Why settle for just class when you can have style too.
lol. I did get the numbers wrong. Really makes you think I know what I'm talking about, huh?
Some of my experiences are fringe. That was a stove I looked at for an old lady. Thing was ancient. Before my time anyway. Wasn't working... So check the plug, right? Pulled it out and bend down to unplug it just as the end connected to the stove came loose? Exploded? Ignited.
Other one, a guy cut a live 240... (does explain why my tester says 122.ish usually) ...with a blade for cutting metal. Blew a good piece out of it. Fun stuff.
From what I've heard 110 V DC is actually more dangerous because it's attractive while AC has a higher chance of escape,
We do use AC. I've never seen a DC system over like 24ish volts.
Yea, y'all were talking about risk of touching the pins. I lost sight of that. I can remember a scare or two but for the most part keeping such risk out of reach was easy enough. I tend to think active parenting is better but risk reduction has it's points... So long as it doesn't lead to lax parenting.
I can see an advantage to 220v don't get me wrong. It's just mostly unnecessary. most things you plug in just convert it to 12v or 24v DC anyway. Only using a fraction of the available current. With 220v (that is an avg. actual volts vary) you can have more items in tandem on the same line from the box. We separate several 110v lines throughout the house and most 220v run on their own circuit. (Only one appliance on the circuit). Most 110v lines nowadays also have redundant breakers (GFI plugs). If you did touch the leads, and actually got full current, you'd likely pop a breaker instantly. The box (main electrical box) has 1500 volts AC to it. Separating the lines keeps degradation excessive amps when having too many things plugged in to one circuit from being an issue (the line gets hot. Breakers are in amps but I wanna keep this simple. Basically the box can give more amps than the line can handle, at any voltage.). With 220v you could have more things in tandem without a worry (more amps). A spark at 110v scares you. At 220v? I've seen a fireball out of one. I've seen it take a chunk out of a hardened steel tool too.
At the end of the day I'm not arguing one is better. More curious why 110v AC American style electrical is always scoffed at by Europeans when I don't really see where it matters and even seems to have advantages. Prolly need to pick a European electrician's brain for that tho. I've had that luxury with American electricians.
I do see what you mean with the plugs you linked. I guess it's just in all my years I've never accidentally touched the leads. Plenty of slop jobs/reach behind and get it with the tip of my fingers included. Even so it does make sense to have a little plastic there on the ends.
The plot thickens. I've never heard of the humidity being a factor. I mean unless it's an outdoor plug. 25cm (Approx 10in) is about standard for here. A little high. I've got a few higher, that's not in a bathroom or kitchen, but I picked my plug locations as per need in some places and not looks.
The 70's and 80's produced some interesting wiring habits for sure. I've received mild shocks from outlets that old. Improper grounding and questionable placement was common. Plug styles have changed a bit too. My uncle has an outlet on his porch that he loves to get someone to plug in some string lights he has around the porch so they get a mild shock. You have to stand up on a step and reach making you want to place your other hand on his metal storm door. If you do you'll get about 20 volts. Enough to cause a yelp, lol.
With a properly grounded plug you actually have to stick something metal (conductive) in both sides to complete the circuit. That's not that easy. But I'm all for people thinking their kid sticking some plastic toy or paper in there will hurt them. Teaches the concept of danger. I've always been curious why Europeans use 220v to every outlet. It stands to reason you'd need a more secure plug. We only use 220v for appliances. And there's no way a child will ever get to one of those.
Well, I guess it's no worse than a European outlet from before my birth or a present-day American one. Do they also put them on the floor so as to more easily electrocute infants?
Forgive my ignorance, but where should plugs go? Most of the time they are presumed to be behind furniture. There are safety inserts for toddlers and I can't recall ever being shocked where the end or socket wasn't clearly an issue. Where it makes sense plugs are higher on the wall. 110v is enough to make you take a step back, feels a bit like getting shoved hard, but won't actually hurt you. More so a kid, sure, but haven't heard of it really being an issue since the 80's. I've encountered cattle fences that have more punch than a standard outlet.
Going on a podcast I listen to and some half read follow up I did...
Online audio sources compress the audio (seemingly most do). To achieve higher sampling rates (quality) in less space by digitally approximating the sound (or somesuch ). Apparently some information can get lost and the ranges can be tampered with in the process. It seems complicated. ( Audio Fundamentals, Compression Techniques & Standards )
For my part, a CD just sounds better. And I don't see any real quality difference between digital audio and other formats. Vinyl Has its own distortions and downloaded music is just lacking something in the ranges (or overcompensating). Having the ranges peek differently for different speaker setups, e.g. portable speakers or headphones, makes sense, but there's often distortions I have to tweak out with the equalizer for my setup. Same song from a CD requires less manipulation on my part. Feels to me like the edge of the ranges lose something too. Songs I've ripped from CD stay at way more balanced and consistent levels. Without tweaking low & mid ranges. But then what sounds right to me and someone else can vary. The psycoacustical part of it explains 'the loundness war'. Louder is better to a point. And sometimes I might push up the middle switches on the equalizer where you'd of left them alone. So you probably are right in that it doesn't much matter. Hi-res is just a throwaway term for a different sample rate and less or no compression. At any rate the loss isn't critical to enjoying some music.
I wish Youtube would standardize loudness for all its content. At least under 80dB @ half volume. You'll barely be able to hear one thing, then the next vid in que is like
but I'd definitely like to have one that could play my 78 rpm records.
Idk if I've ever gave real attention to the difference between 78s and like LPs. I assume higher sample rates with less on the disc? Prolly not much difference swapping digital glitches for mechanical noise.
Anyway, they are fine animals, very American style.
Thank you. Although if memory serves they're a Scottish breed.
They are glorified pets. I started with three, a male and two females. It's gotten out of hand in the last decade or so. Up to 14 at last count.
What to do with them has always been the question. Suggestions are things like: teach them to pull a cart, do pony rides, teach them special tricks and/or sell them. We taught one to bow for an apple and you have no idea how many times people have asked if I rent them for rides at parties. I'm not quite redneck enough to own a cart and tack for it - but that is one of the more adorable options. They all get lead broke; learn to follow on a lead and stand where you tie them for brushing/trimming hair and hooves . I don't actively try to saddle break them but some have picked it up better than others. Learning can be rough, they don't want to cooperate and learn stuff but they have to. So at times I have to wear them down a bit so they don't just fight me and thus figure out that what I need from them ain't so bad. The fastest way to get to them tired is a mock rodeo. Let them haul me up and down the corral rodeo-style a few times and suddenly listening to me isn't the worst thing. Chauncey is the only one so far to hack my method. As soon as I put a halter on him, he ragdolls. Not even gracefully - just suddenly he pretends he has no bones, lol. Equal measures cute and aggravating.
So basically - I have no idea what I'm doing with them. Sustainability is eventually going to be a problem. The field can only support so many, but that number is still pretty far off.
I've had plenty of other saddle and quarter horses over the years. None of which have been a problem for me to sell. Something about raising them from a baby makes it hard to let go.
I believe that just means it is CD quality. Cloud services like to cut some range to save space. Arguably out of earbuds or some headphones you wouldn't need it anyway.
Old songs a 'friend' scalped off YouTube have never sounded right.
