Wish I could, but I have six dogs and a woman to feed ...
A long and boring story in there somewhere, but I'm sort of tied to the house in jollyville right now.

Freeps can be standing in a crowd, hear a loud bang, and not only can he tell you the caliber and make of the bullet, he can hear the serial number of the weapon that fired it. Some people are just that good.

Cellphones made since the '00s have 3-5 microphones in them, sampling at rates well beyond the limits of human hearing. But as forensic evidence, any recorded phone sound is of low value. Because the raw data from those mics goes through some complicated processing -- for example, you can make a phone call from a noisy nightclub, and the other party only hears your voice.

Noises are removed and speech is encoded, and what's sent over the air is just the encoded phonemes. The receiving party might not even hear a gunshot unless it was very close to the phone. Interestingly, the codecs of the '00s did a poor job with the Chinese language, as it did not sound like 'speech' to the codec chip.

Processing removes background noises, echoes, and etc. If you're making a little video with the phone it uses a different set of codecs, but it still reduces the mic data to a nice recording. Loud noises and 60Hz buzz/hum are suppressed to very low levels.

Hopefully any expert testifying in Tyler's case will be aware of these limitations...

The waveform you posted looks more like a whomp..whomp-whomp-whomp, not a gun. But it's hard to tell when it's been through a PA system with its noise and feedback cancellation, and bounced off a crowd and a bunch of buildings. The audio recordings from the Butler PA Trump rally all looked different, depending on the location of the recording device. Some were sharp cracks, some had the added 'zing' of a corrugated metal building reflection, and others were smeared by the sound system.

Anyhoo, I think CK was shot from up close, with a low velocity bullet, and that sound is whatever was broadcast by the PA system.

Partisan Night Slut :pns:

Hmm, we'll have to go there next time we are in Dallas.

She was probably looking for a Waffle House, and couldn't find one in Addison.

HMPV -- Humpleupavirus.

had to look it up on wikipedia. all i learned is that it's a -RNA virus, and causes respiratory infections.

it sounds like the infection wasn't much fun, but what was the name of that virus again?

viruses are bastards. they'll do anything to pull off another couple rounds of replication, which frequently involves damage to your immune system.
-- and some of the damage persists after the virus is gone. blood cells and skin cells and etc. go through a life cycle and get replaced, but some other cells are very slow to be replaced. nerve cells live for as long as you do. and so do immune memory cells.

Pacman, manpac, whatever manjaro calls it. Frickin pileocrap.
Probably because they don't have dependencies properly mapped.
I tried 'manjaro-chroot -a' and got an error message. Nothing is there.

So the install that crashed was on btrfs. I still think intead of attempting repair i will reinstall on ext4. Because when i look at the old partition it just has a bunch of directories srarting with @. And when i try to drill down,there isn't any data in them. Or just some random bits and pieces. It's btrfcked.

On the bright side, ddg ai (chatgpt mini) was able to answer my search for how to mount the defunct system. The old search just gave long manpages, voluminous 'theory of btrfs' docs, reams of advertising, and almost nothing useful... the ai was able to distill it into CLI commands in 2 seconds. They worked.

I'm posting this on my phone and will be away from fedi for a couple days. Life calls! Not just the computer, I'll have that back running. Bills to pay, etc
