This is the correct answer. Alone is not really a how to live in the woods show, it's a managed starvation show. The contestants are limited to about a 1 sq mile area which may or may not have a good source of clay. They purposely set them out just a few weeks before winter so they do not have a long time to prep. Conserving and replenishing calories is the name of the game.
Humanity didn’t really take off until we figured out how to make use of inedible calories though. Making lots of tea and thin soups in the winter should have been a target for many of them.
One person did quite well finding wild onions but as I recall got some stomach distress from them. Raw onion doesn’t agree with people when you aren’t eating much else. But those greens would have made soup for days.
A big thing that enabled that was having a community.
It's really hard to make a pot if you are trading making that pot with finding food for the day.
That's why when they did the season with couples, they were able to get a lot more done simply because 1 person could spend the day building a shelter while the other person foraged.
The moose guy that won did so because he had a huge calorie surplus from killing the moose. That freed him up to spend pretty much all his time foraging for plants or building shelter.
> Making lots of tea and thin soups in the winter should have been a target for many of them.
Most plants have almost no calories. Soups are useful as a preservation technique but only work if you are constantly adding fairly calorie dense items (like meat) into the mix. If you haven't sourced beans, potatoes, or rice plants then a soup won't really do much to improve your survival.
The benefit of tea or soup is you are boiling the water which prevents a good number of diseases.
I mean the court is ordering them to retain user conversations at least until resolution of the court case (in case there is copyrighted responses being generated?).
>however, it does provide a strong baseline for a platform that is essentially guaranteed to be in compliance with the federal government, as it was built by the government itself.
What a wonderfully weird store. If I ever need to buy an under powered can opener,some screen protectors for my palm pilot and I life size terracotta warrior for $1200 without going to multiple places I know now where to go.
Is there any evidence that anc headphones are bad for your ears? I also feel odd presure in my ears when using them. I know they are supposed to cancel out the wave form but I was curious if latency,timing etc could lead to high frequency and in audible
but still damaging presure on ear drum? I have no evidence for this other then discomfort using anc and suffering from tinnitus after using anc
Sennheiser has a bit less pressure than the other brands like Bose, but of course it does still has some.
When listening to music, I keep the volume as low as feasible, and I disable ANC. When listening to podcasts, I enable ANC.
In general, in music apps, the volume is already too boosted, and so even the minimum volume is too high and damaging. This is not an issue in podcast apps like AntennaPod.
There actually is evidence that ANC music makes it hard for people to understand what others are saying in the real world. If this effect starts to happen, reverse course immediately before it becomes permanent.
I really dislike using ANC because of that feeling of pressure on my ears, and the increased battery usage. Annoyingly, my main headphones (Bose QC 35 II) default to it being on at power-on, and the app doesn't let you turn that off, only reassign the action button to toggle between high, low and off, so every time I turn them on I have to click it twice
As I (not a doctor) understand it, the lack of low frequency noise, which the ANC headphones cut out, tricks your ear into thinking that it’s blocked and the pressure is wrong. There is no actual pressure issue, but that signal gets sent to the brain because of the sudden lack of low frequency noise.
