I fear my audience may not be in the demographic that gets the joke

.@uwcse researchers have created a headphone that allows listeners to hear people speaking within a bubble with a programmable radius of 3-6 ft. Voices and sounds outside the bubble are quieted, even if they’re louder than those in the bubble.

Breaking news!

For the first time in 469 days, yesterday's global sea surface temperature was *not* a new record for the day, with this year's global SST for June 26th of 20.89°C equaling last year's record for the same day.

This graph is a testament to how absurdly warm global sea surface temperatures have been over the last 12 months. Out of all the data visualizations I have posted on here so far, this might genuinely be the most alarming one.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

And again, just to see how truly mind-blowingly gobsmackingly bananas current global sea surface temperatures are, here is the graph of global sea surface temperatures with the year 2023 omitted.

@SoundguardUK Tripod on a car roof is a new one for me. I wonder if you could clamp a monopod to your roof rails - might be more sturdy?

@stuffmadehere You could make an unmissable fruit ninja machine that tracks your sword, and fires the fruit at it, slicing it in half regardless of where and how fast you swing.

If your BS 4142 Residual from surrogate monitoring is *louder* than your Ambient, then you have chosen a bad surrogate monitoring location.
