Sounds about right. I'm barely awake right now, and I seriously think that 32 kbps Opus is "transparent" right now (the generally-accepted range is 96 - 128 kbps). Maybe as background music over a PA system, but sure as hell not for general listening! I need more sleep.

I'm a heathen. I'm vaguely sure 96 kbps Opus might be just on the edge of noticeable for me under non-sleepy conditions, but I'll need to conduct the appropriate ABX testing to test that out. I can't tell the difference between 128 kbps Opus and FLAC (protip: go to Bandcamp and find a free album if you're as broke as I am, they have FLACs), so this should be interesting.

Is a flashlight just a handheld photon cannon?

[Rolan7]

Yes.  Pew pew!
... Which leads one to wonder what photon torpedoes are.

What happened to Naturegirl? I clicked on the newest post thing, and I was presented with a discussion from 2020 on the same topic. I got curious, and though it seems she came back for a considerable amount of time in early 2021, her posts abruptly cut off in February. She's probably fine, but then some people said the same about Mastahcheese*, and he's probably gone for good now, though to my knowledge unlike him Naturegirl never mentioned a cause behind her absence. I dunno, the place just feels different without her.

*If my memory is terrible and no-one said that about Mastahcheese I apologise.

Last time I think she said she was just busy with things. No real way to know thoough.

[Enemy post]

She said she’s busy with college, IIRC.

[hector13]

She’s just being nice.

She really just hates everyone here and wants nothing to do with you ever again.

I just heard someone mention Gen Alpha.  Is that the term for this next generation?  I dig it.

Gen Alpha is killing the alphabet industry

It being a fantasy universe and all--- take with enough salt to preserve at least a dozen egyptian kings---


The photon torpedoes are essentially antimatter charges. When matter and antimatter react, it produces a huge amount of high energy gamma rays, which are essentially high energy photons.

This is why they are called photon torpedoes.

After Gen Z comes Gen Æ, followed by Gens Ø and Å. Everyone knows this.

After we run out of actual letters from alphabets in about a few hundred thousand years' time (and this is after we've run out of CJK characters, among other scripts), are we going to resort to random symbols that Unicode has, like "⌱", "⩐", and "⍲"?
