The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.
It's produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.
Long story short the MRI showed no impinging of the cord so we were told to just monitor it. It's slowly fading.
The long story is that the next day the GP repeated 111's advice so we bundled up pillows and painkillers and, still very upset, we went back. After an hour the triage nurse told us that all the GP needed to do was a referral by email and we would have been admitted straight to the spinal unit.
She then rang the GP and actually tore them a new one. It was highly satisfying.
We spent the rest of the day in spinal, her on a bed, and got seen by excellent staff who did more explaining about the injury and what to expect than anyone else had done to that point. We were in limbo about the whole thing till then.
My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She'd new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.
We get there and are advised it's a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.
My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can't happen.
So we leave. What else can we do.
The situation was fucking awful, but I don't blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.
I've had a BBE for almost 4 years, I use it daily. I can create nicer tasting espresso based drinks than Starbucks and Costa and basically any other local coffee shop.
The only people I've found locally that can do a better job are the ones who roast the beans I use - and I'd be surprised if they couldn't.
ActivityPub implementations generally don't allow this.
This comment will, when I click 'Reply', be sent to your instance (dormi.zone), that instance should then run it's filter/block checks on it and if it's happy it will forward it onto the lemmy.ml instance for further disemination amongst the subscribers of the group.
If you were to have blocked me then my reply will appear on my instance only (which is admitedly tiny - at 1 user) and go no further. This kind of falls apart if I were to be on a bigger instance as more people would see the reply.
That said, Lemmy may not be doing that quite right as the whole Groups/Communities thing is sort of an extension of the main protocol. I hope it's doing it the right way.
"...prohibits repair stores from repairing components on the mainboard. Instead, the entire component must be replaced..."
A flagrant disregard for the costs of e-waste on the environment. What a surprise.
