Is the image for this just a man’s torso with his hand over his stomach like he’s going to have a baby or is it just me. I thought this was going to be very different at first

It's weird that they would build such a big annoying target in a country with so many rifles
And also in a country with such a huge diabetes from sugar problem. That was a joke - fun fact sugar ruins concrete mix
Rifles are noisy. Trebuchets are not. What's the range of the average consumer trebuchet?
You can fling 100kg 300 m.
You ever hear about the people that shot up a power station? They never figured out who did it.
I went to go get a link, and turns out it happened again a few years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Metcalf_sniper_attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_County_substation_attack
You're a real piece of shit if you shoot up a power substation/relay...
Oh it didn't happen just once or twice. It sort of dominated the news for a month two years ago I think. Multiple states
and they build it in GOP controlled districts too. republicans, by in large do not actually protest in anyway for change.
(by and large)
The don't tread on me crowd are the biggest pussies in the world.
The only time they stood up and protested was against nurses as doctors trying to save lives....
Meanwhile corporations dry fucking them in the ass... they bend over and cry "Can I have some more daddy??"
There was also the Jan 6th riot.
Not a protest, but yeah
Well that was pointless.
Was there supposed to be something on the "sound readings" meter? Can I see it?
No.
Did you not hear the noise with your own two ears? Are you that fucking deaf and willfully ignorant that you you need to see a number and can’t, without it, hear exactly what he’s talking about?
“It’s a conversation that never stops, is in your bedroom, and you can’t turn off, ever. It’s not loud but it never stops.” should be more than enough to make the point abundantly clear especially when you can fucking hear the sound in the video.
For what its worth, despite missing the punchline of the actual measurement, the guy knows what he is talking about. Taking a dB measurement in C weighting over some integration period is how to do it for this scenario. I doubt his meter is calibrated but its doing a good job.
I hear it perfectly. It is a sort of background hum.
Not really data though. It could be anything.
It's more about what the guy is saying.
While standing next to his sound strength measuring setup no less...
Lots of people say lots of things. I was interested in the data. Particularly since he said he was collecting it!
Mr Ben Jordan has a very good video about this. Collects a lot of data
He should have showed more.
Made without AI will be the next organic non-gmo revolution, even though the latter was mostly a fad.

Oh man, I hate data centers more every day. They're burning energy and causing disturbances in order to support fucking what? What the fuck are we getting in return?
What the fuck are we getting in return?
A third yacht for a billionaire
Storing data on us and replacing human jobs with AI. No matter how many jobs your local leaders have been told data centers will create, they are intended to replace many more.
AI propaganda, AI surveillance.
Slightly more convenient search engines. At least according to most of my IT-illiterate peers. "Just ask ChatGPT" - "Fuck, I can already do that with any other search engine, for 1/10th of the energy".
People never see the cost if they don't pay it.
Shrimp Jesus memes and scams able to dupe even more old people
More surveillance.
Not all data centers are for AI. Practically anything you do on the internet lives or transits through a data center. A very serious answer to your question is simply "the internet". AI data centers are just bigger and more dense than the ones that have been around for a long time.
Yes, but until AI, there weren't nearly as many data centers and they were much smaller. Now massive data centers are going up all over the country, and no, hosting the internet is not their primary purpose
But the reason most new datacenters are build is AI. AI is the cause that the number of datacenters are spiking, not any other poor excuse.
We should seriously consider a right to destroy noise making crap in general. Currently listening to a 110Db mower, I should be allowed to go out and stomp it, except, maybe, on Sunday afternoons.
I used to live a few miles from I5 and that was loud and constant, but was a pretty soft kinda rushing sound not really that different from hearing the wind rustling trees; the sound going on in this video sounds like an idling diesel truck parked across the street.
I live close to a highway and it's just white noise. I can tune it out outside and inside you can't hear anything. Except for the motorbikes with custom exhausts. You can hear those assholes even inside. And it's not because of the highway, you can hear the motorbikes all on adjacent streets as well. It's really crazy to me that some idiots are allowed to add huge amounts of noise to our environment just for fun. Fuck bikers.
It really does sounds like a large idling diesel truck.
I live 1.5km away from a busy intl airport and there are jets all day idling their engines, it's not loud, but it is quite constant. Now, I chose to live near the airport because it's a great location and very convenient, but I do smell burning rubber whenever the wind is blowing my way and a plane lands. But at least the flights quiet down to a trickle at night time. Data enters never quiet down. I'd rather an airport 1.5km from me than a data centre. At least the airport benefits me in some way.
