Math problem :
Knowing that Kuwait building fire kills 49 Indian workers, how many Kuwaiti workers would be killed in an Indian building fire ?
(it really sucks to be from a poor country)

But why … yes !

i’m very happy to have asked, that was very nice and refreshing … with many more nice photographs in your article, thanks!

Nice ! Who is this ?

… or just do different haircuts ? also taking the fingerprint on one of their fingers (keep it private or notice one difference and remember it) they are different even for identical twins.

Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes ! 😋

(( “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” mentions a trilogy of books written by Oolon Colluphid. One of these books is titled “Where God Went Wrong,” followed by “Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes” and “Who is this God Person Anyway?” ))

… or a web link to the digital image … but, a link is a pipe, so … Ceci est une pipe !

We agree that the -12dB is what’s important for human hearing … Now, you may agree that the 94% reduction is what counts regarding engineering // fabrication // design.

Well, 93.7% to be more exact. Did you recalculate it yourself the same i did ?

no.
see my comment above.

what they did :

“Our product takes in a full blow of air and separates it,” said team member Leen Alfaoury. “Some of that air comes out as it is, and part of it comes out shifted. The combination of these two sections of the air makes the blower less noisy.”

… “It ultimately dampens the sound as it leaves, but it keeps all that force, which is the beauty of it.”

Their design cuts the most shrill and annoying frequencies by about 12 decibels, which all but removes them, making them 94% quieter.

No, not the same … in your paragraph you describe an increase of the frequency at a level human hearing do not perceive while the other made cancellation of a given frequency using phase shifting and recombination.

in this situation the search engine DuckDuckGo is better than Google because it has an opt-in for a.i.

Thanks, I put a strike through over the offending part.

Short for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, UEFI is the low-level and complex chain of firmware responsible for booting up virtually every modern computer.
The flaws reside in functions related to IPv6, the successor to the IPv4 Internet Protocol network address system. They can be exploited in what’s known as the PXE, or Preboot Execution Environment, when it’s configured to use IPv6.

and : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI

… UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) replaces the BIOS (Basic Input Output Software) which was present in the boot ROM (Read Only Memory) of all personal computers …
