  • There have been a lot of ANC responses focusing on the A (active) part. There are two parts to nose cancellation: active and passive. I agree ANC are sweet and all... The other comments have that covered.

    If you're interested in exploring a potentially low cost alternative to expensive ANR headphones or earbuds... Know that there are two parts to noise cancelling: active and passive. Passive nose cancelling is how much the headphones or earbuds reduce the outside noise before the active part needs to step in.

    SO, an option I haven't seen discussed yet would be to get some standard low cost earbuds and get some over-ear ear muffs to put around them.

    Edit: literacy is for everyone... I didn't see the bit about using this for sleep. Over ear muffs plus earbuds wouldn't be very comfortable. Another option might be just finding some noise sounds you prefer over the nose you like. There are different standard noises... White noise, pink noise, brown noise... These might help make the frequency of unwanted sound your looking to block. This is a link related to noise colors after a quick search: https://www.hatch.co/blog/exploring-color-noises-for-better-sleep-with-hatch

  • Give Me Experiences, Not Obligations
  • This seems like a good place to collect some notable F2P alternatives. I've struggled to find good mobile content... help me out! What are some good paid games or rare F2P gems you would recommend?

  • Ford, Honda, and BMW create a new vehicle-to-grid company to help EV owners save money
  • Along these lines, I'm a fan of the idea that electric school buses could be essentially massive mobile energy storage systems that occasionally transport people around. Disaster in the area? Stresses power grid in the neighboring town? Drive over and plug in on demand!

  • Warning: Hot take: the longer I’m a parent, the more I feel that we shouldn’t be able to have children
  • Hey, I stumbled across this post while surfing All. I don't have much experience with Autism but I am a parent. One of the coolest things about being a parent is that it is a lifelong journey of growth and development.

    As you watch your child grow and learn, you are also growing and learning as a parent. You are constantly learning new things about yourself, your child, and the world. You are also making mistakes and learning from them. This process of growth and development is never-ending, and it is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a parent.

    It is also important to remember that just because you are an adult does not mean that you are done with your life journey. You are still learning and growing, and your child is watching you do it. They are learning from your mistakes and your successes. They are also learning about the importance of lifelong learning and personal growth.

    You're not alone. Every parent goes through tough times. My kids have more friends than I do... but I got to all their activities, play times, and events to support them. It's okay to make mistakes! Looking down the road to school, working with your son to find resources to help with those tough math problems means you'll be teaching him how to better seek help for himself in the future - this is an incredibly valuable skill that's easy to overlook in normal work. Being open and honest about the struggles you face and the ways you look for help (as you've done here) are powerful lessons for a growing child.

    Very few people a really ready to become parents. You're figuring this out along the way just like everyone else. Grant yourself some grace, remember the wonderful things about your son, take care of yourself, and believe in yourself. You are strong and capable.

  • Smoke Detector False Alarms?
  • When was the last time you changed the batteries? I've had this and swapping in new batteries was the fix. I tested the old batteries on a cheap-o tester and they all read as good when I took them out... But sure enough, new batteries was the fix for me.
