Last one was that in China people who have lots of babies throw all into one room with only one feeding bottle. The one who survives will be the only child of that family, the others are buried. They don't even check if they are all dead, just burry them still alive.
Sure China has billions of people because Chinese women have 6 babies at the same time when they are pregnant.
The other one is that Taiwan is the only big city with technology. The rest of China is pure rice fields and poor people.
We don't know about all this because the Government doesn't want us to know.

Comment on Musi’s free music streaming app is a hit with thrifty teens. The app claims to tap content on YouTube, but some in the music industry question the legitimacy of that model. in ~music
crdpa Link ParentOne day YT will cease to exist and the world will keep spinning. If it goes away, something will replace it.I think YouTube is a valuable if flawed resource, and I'd hate to see it go away because I know it cannot exist under our current economic model any other way

Comment on Confused about headphone impedance in ~tech
crdpa Link ParentThanks! That cleared things up. The 8:1 is more of a safe number to go by. The output is 47 in my case, so I think a headphone with 250 or more should be fine.Thanks! That cleared things up. The 8:1 is more of a safe number to go by.

Comment on Confused about headphone impedance in ~tech
crdpa Link ParentAccording to those links, the headphone being 8~10 higher shouldn't be the ideal? So for the 47 headphone output of my multifx I would need at least a 400 ohms headphone? This seems a lot. Is...The source (amp output) impedance should ideally be lower than the headphone impedance (the rule of thumb I see thrown around is generally a 1:8 or 1:10 ratio). If they are too close or the headphone is higher than the amp, it can lead to some coloration of the sound.

So for the 47 headphone output of my multifx I would need at least a 400 ohms headphone? This seems a lot. Is there any budget options for this?

Comment on Confused about headphone impedance in ~tech
crdpa Link ParentGotcha. But does this happen with headphone outputs? Are there headphone outputs with this much power? Anyway, the AKG K240 should be a safe choice in my case? According to that link it can go...However - there is an exception. Sort of. If equipment is impedance matched but power-mismatched (ie, headphones can accept 5w but output from an amp is 200w), all that 200w is going to flow to headphones only able to handle 5w and blow them up.
Gotcha. But does this happen with headphone outputs? Are there headphone outputs with this much power?
Anyway, the AKG K240 should be a safe choice in my case? According to that link it can go from 55 to 200 and the average is 87.

Confused about headphone impedance
I have a guitar multi effects that has a headphone out with 47Ω I want a budget somewhat neutral headphone to use with it and I am getting confused with the answers I found so far. The AKG K240...
I have a guitar multi effects that has a headphone out with 47Ω
I want a budget somewhat neutral headphone to use with it and I am getting confused with the answers I found so far.
The AKG K240 mk2 (55Ω) seems to be a popular choice with people who own another multi effects (HX Stomp) with a different impedance (I think it's 12Ω).
This headphone is within my budget, but it seems too close to the 47 output of my multifx.
Will I have a problem with this?
I read somewhere that the headphone impedance should be much bigger than the output impedance, but another text I read somewhere explained that they should match closely.
I'm really confused about this.

I am a communist and I buy communist material from Amazon lol
The only way to lower Bezos influence is to expropriate everything from him. And the only way to save the planet is to stop living for profit.
And we can only do that if we overcome capitalism, because as soon as Bezos is gone, there will be another one the next day.
Here in Brazil Amazon is strong, but still mostly books and some other things. For almost everything, MercadoLivre is stronger. In some places they can deliver in the same day.
Shein is for clothes, specially for women.
I prefer shopping online instead of going to a store simply because I don't want salesperson chasing me pushing products and there are much more options online anyway.

I want to avoid if possible because I heard it can affect sperm count and I want a child in the near future, but going from 370 to 250 in a year doing everything "right" I don't think diet and exercises (my numbers are going up on a weekly basis) are really the problem, but it is worth a try messing with ratios.
I plan to investigate all I can before jumping on HRT.
For me, helix and kakoune are better than vim.
It is worth if you use the terminal and edit text files a lot. If not, then don't.
