On NPR, story about pigeons & sounds.
Claim made that pigeons can hear 12 octaves below middle C.
That's once every 16 seconds???
C = 256 hz
2^12 = 4096
So what if a 16 year old tried to adopt a baby? She can't, she's not mature or financially stable enough to adopt a baby. But if she's pregnant, she has to raise that baby. Tell me how this makes sense.

@AudioBruce "The general listener" doesn't measure magnetic fields.
A few of us have been around an MRI machine with 5, 7, or 12 T field magnets, & a few of us remember physics class, but we are about the only ones who can understand. Tell us real numbers pls.
@AudioBruce
Please use standard units when reporting.
If you want to add homely analogies to try to clarify, add, but don't replace.
Eg. Many of us understand temperature in Kelvins, and many more can convert from Celcius or Fahrenheit. Pick any of those scales

Consider: "A74... exactly a week ago."
Hard to read: must first note the dateline on the article, subtract 7, note that this is not a leap year, and eventually get to February 26.
Just SAY Feb 26 and save a lot of trouble.
Poetic license revoked!
"47% of the students admitted because of their SAT scores 'were low-income or first generation students.' These students would not have been guaranteed admission on the basis of their grades alone. Why on earth would you surrender that tool?"
Wokeness.

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.
"Gifted children have always been in our schools—and they always shall be. Denying them educational equity while offering it to every other child with a learning difference is the ultimate example of misplaced bias." https://t.co/4iKePSzCcT
