Before there were good ways to record and play back bass sounds, did anybody bother to train their voice to sing low bass? I imagine the uses for the skill would be rather limited before good microphones, recording equipment and widely available hi-fi stereos to play back bass sounds.

Has it become part of your daily routine? Is it useful for one season out of the year?

First off, I have no interest in being a mathematician. Math was always and continues to be quite difficult for me.

So, as an outsider to advanced math, it blows my mind that there are people who's entire job title is mathematician. How does that work? What does a mathematician do?

Which way would you spell it, and why?

They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Edit, it's the underwear that is white in this question.

First of all, I wonder if this even happens. Have you ever personally witnessed the moment when a car that has only ever idled from show booth to trailer finally got unleashed and driven in earnest? Does it lead to immediate disaster? Is it a glorious symphony of roaring engine and melting tires?

Rerunning an idea, I'm curious how image generators have improved/changed.

Feel free to break up the words in your username, and let us know if you added anything like "a logo for..." Or "an avatar for..."

Let's run it through as many different generators as you have access to, and see what happens. You might just find your new avatar picture!

If this has been done before, I'd love to see video of a race.

I imagine miniature hay bales, stacked tires, and tiny traffic cones to mark the route, and POV drivers and real crowds watching the action all over the golf course.

What was that one time when a song came on at exactly the right moment to match what was happening around you or to you just then?

Sleeping in a car that you own.

I think there should be restrictions on where to park for this, but in general people found sleeping in cars should be protected by the law against theft and harassment.

From the way this post is written, I think you don't realize how vague your communication style is. Too many possible interpretations of what you said makes it hard to even follow the story you laid out.

Who emailed who about what?

How did someone resend an email that someone else sent?

Re-sending would mean the same coworker sent the email twice.

On rereading, I think you meant that one coworker sent an email to the client, then another coworker that you are having trouble with also sent the same email to the same client.

So, to answer your question, I think they arrive at a different conclusion because they see things differently. Anything that can be interpreted differently will be interpreted differently. The other co workers think they're giving this person set values when in fact they're handing them a set of variables and expecting only one result.

Lower power density, higher cycle life, safer. Sounds good for stationary power storage.

Fears? I'm excited that these jobs where people are treated like machines until they quit for sanity's sake are getting automated.

"We only use ten percent of our brains."

People genuinely believe this and never learned where it came from.

If we're patient, we can see it play out a dozen times in YouTube videos without giving Reddit any traffic.

Edit: I am not patient.
