I hate the fact that they made 'The Descent 2'. Totally (and unnecessarily) killed the ambiguous ending of the original.

I seriously doubt that it would count as 'shitty', but it wasn't very well received and is not widely known either, for me rather a kind of comfort movie I'll defend till the edges of the earth: the Cohen brothers' 'A Serious Man'

Can you explain why you find the suggestion so outrageous ? I'm not advocating a 35 year old woman dating a 15 year old boy. I'm only saying that biology matters.

You can argue all you want about TPM and its 'security'. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an 'operating system'.

This is a very good, comprehensive and comprehensible answer. Thank you!

Amusing.

a) I don't use shitGPT and never will, so I wouldn't know how to phrase questions for it;

b) You are aware that this is 'no stupid questions', right ? People here expect to be asked stuff - or to learn from others' answers for that matter, which I'm pretty sure is the case here;

c) Cold? Maybe that's because this is a science question? I'm not asking a lady out;

d) Disrespectful? It takes a particular brand of pessimism to be offended in the least by a question that's not even directed at you...

So if I understand you correctly, in the real world, they do add up?

 

The prequel to the 'A Quiet Place' saga got me thinking.

spoiler alert!

There is a scene in which many humans march towards a safety point. Each individual human would have been relatively quiet, but because there are a lot of them (potentially hundreds), they end up being, as a whole, loud enough to alert the monsters so they get all killed.

This would suggest that many sources of noise which are near to each other and generate more or less the same amount of noise end up adding up so that the end result in dB is more or less the sum of the individual dB levels.

But then again, it's fiction.

Back to reality, I work in a room full of different servers which have also very different levels of noise. I have noticed that from my standpoint, the noise of the quietest server seems to disappear whenever the loudest is running, so it kind of does blow my mind how our perception of noise works...
