Seems like AI wrote this. And did a good job!

It actually really simple. High-pitch, high intensity (around 150 Db) sound projected directly towards your ears causes pain to your ears. If you’re close enough then it can permanently damage your hearing. It can also blow out some microphones so many recordings of this from a victim’s perspective don’t actually contain audio of the actual deterrent sound.

This depends on a lot of factors like distance, direction, and original intensity. But it can be painful or worse, cause permanent hearing loss.

All good info. A bit outside of this post context but helpful nonetheless.

Good advice but the respirator doesn’t wrap around the ears so in the context of acoustic protection/reflection it doesn’t seem effective. I agree that a shield is conspicuous… I’m just spitballing about total effectiveness in theory. I like the end of the video shared above where the concave parabolic shape of the shield (when reversed) was used to redirect the LRAD sound at the operator. Pretty cool seeing a vulnerability in a system exploited in that way.

Thanks for sharing this video! It’s a great resource. $5 shop headphones and a polycarbonate shield you can make for under $100 beats a $20,000-$100,000 LRAD. I wonder if ear plugs, shop headphones, and a shield would be any more effective.

This is in Turkey, not the US. Also not TikTok employees but Telus Digital employees. Shit headline.

Light olive oil on the crust before topping with sauce. Corn meal or corn meal/salt mixture under the crust to help absorb moisture trapped underneath. Perforated pans also help. I also cook at a higher temperature. 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to preheat. A brick oven or pizza stone will help with consistent heating.

Predicting Trump and co are going to start saying Wall Street went woke and corporate boards are being paid for their opposition by China and George Soros. All the greatest hits.

I literally just deleted one of these texts before reading this post. Started seeing a lot more of these after creating a LinkedIn account… hmmm.

An alternative to MusicBrainz Picard is Lidarr. No sonic analysis but it can organize and rename your library among other things.

Picard is the better option for music organization though.

I found an informative post about a related issue that might be of some use to you. Sounds like DHCP or Network Manager may be rewriting your systems-resolved.conf.
