Surprising to hear that such a large airline wouldn't have power outlets in 2023 but perhaps it makes sense, because Southwest doesn't really do "long flights". Good info for fliers to be aware of. For Southwest and shor

Did you know that airplanes have power outlets at foot level, sometimes USB ports higher up? You could simply bring your phone charger with you on the plane..

It's not that easy to pick up every speech utterance in a wide range and separate it by speaker. The further away the sound is, the less intelligible it is. An artificial non-directional microphone is unlikely to pick up with the same

I've been using the same system for decades. Is there a way I can measure how well it does at sound quality other than the "listen to it and see if it seems ok" method? Because as with glasses, you get used to a prescription

My opinion, what's the return on joining yet another social media network so you can receive ads and see messages from bots screaming about mRNA vaccines and Hunter Biden's laptop? That's one extreme. The other is highly cont

Some toxicity is created by the moderators themselves. When they're too aggressive with the banning of people whose opinion they don't agree with, instead of dialoguing, it's a perma-ban immediately. All this does is help cry

Context matters here I think. Historically "the deaf community" was used to refer to people who used sign language to communicate and did not include people who didn't. It is possible to be deaf, and not part of the deaf comm

In my life, I have been deaf, hearing impaired, hard of hearing, hearing challenged. I suppose at some point I will be acoustically disadvantaged. You know what? At the end of the day, I'm still deaf. It's true. I have limitations

I wondered if they had permission from the author's estate to make changes to the work and publish it as a new work or if the publisher somehow went rogue and did it on their own. I looked it into it, and it appears as if the Dahl righ
