Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

No, they carefully place the offerings along side the trail. I once entertained the fantasy that they would pick the bag up when they came back down the trail but I don't think that ever happens.

Don't even suggest that.

Not convinced that that is even possible.

Actually it can there too.

As someone pointed out, silence isn't a very high data rate. Audio does not fully populate the entire spectrum, energy wise. Ther is room to squish.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.

FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non-proprietary, is unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations.

Who else is going to listen it, other than humans?

I needn't convince you.

Why would people hang bags of s*it on tree branches? Decoration?

Often they drop (or hang) the bag with the intention to pick them up on the way back while hiking, rather than carry them the entire hike. Quite often, they forget on the way back.

While they did that with the kids, they never did that with any of the dogs except those used for fox hunting.

Even the now dead queen had lots of corgis running around the house and used to take them with her when she changed houses seasonally.

I quoted FLAC, 100% no loss of quality compressed audio. The issue that the only audio that CANNOT be compressed is full volume white noise, but unless you are a fan of Stockhausen that ain't music.

Lossless compression looks for periods of low information rate and packs them in shorter times spans, so that only e,g, the cymbal clash or audience applauses is left uncompressed. Periods of silence with just audience breathing and the odd cough can be sent in way fewer data packets.

No, they are surburbanites and townies and they carry bags and scoops for their doggies poo. Because in towns and parks there are little bins to put it on. In the country there are not and they get fed up with carrying it so they hang it on branches as a protest against Socialism making them collect it in the first place and then not providing a bin for it.

Do you not open your eyes when walking?

Which you just disable. A clip from a scrapyard to put in where your belt goes fools the stupid system.

Technology has advanced in the last 50 years.

But actual reliability has not improved at all, partly because it's all software these days, but also because most cars are sold a bit too soon in their development process, letting customer do the early field testing.

My car (2018 Honda CR-V) is the poster child. It's always throwing random contradictory codes and demanding to be towed in when driving at highway speed in heavy rain. I've learned to ignore the dire warnings and keep on driving, and let the car dry out.

My wife has had similar problems with her car (2016 Audi Q3), starting right after delivery, when on Thanksgiving Day it claimed to be dangerously low on brake fluid. Well, brake fluid can be inspected - the level was normal. So, sensor is confused. She did not understand how the computer could be wrong, and we used my car instead. But later drove her car to the dealer. There were later episodes where we did need to have her car towed, but the effects and warnings made no sense at all.

I do laugh at you silly yanks. Two lots of 120V in series, WTF are you doing man? In the UK, lose the neutral and you get zero. In the UK, we have less connections. You can't mix up which live is which. You don't have to find the right socket for the appliance, everything is 13A 240V 3.2kW. We can also use thinner wires. What are your vacuum cleaner flexes like?
