  • If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I'll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to "reset" to where it clicks again.

    Humans are weird.

    Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by "Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes" which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

  • I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it "ear clicking" since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

    I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

  • Nuclear works well with renewables. It provides reliable base load while the renewables and batteries can be used on top of that. Plus the fuel can be sourced from friendly nations like Canada.

    Also worth noting that 15 years is a long time. SMRs are starting to be built and France is planning to build a bunch of nuclear capacity in the near future which might mean the possiblity to import cheap energy or leverage the human resources from those builds.

  • To be fair to target most business is just talk when it comes to these types of things.

    Consumers need to understand that corporate support for any particular initiative begins and ends with how it affects the bottom line.

    Disney, Google, even Costco cannot actually care about any of these things. The corporate incentives do not allow for it.

  • I'm honestly surprised anyone does them anymore. No one who is happy will show up to those things just to lob soft ball questions so you're guaranteed to get a bunch of negative soundbites.

    I would argue it is part of their job to do this but the incentives don't align at all.
