Vexual: when ledtailights flicker, you can almost see which way the calbing runs
decimation: but the point is that apparently it sets a 'noise floor' for low lever signals
decimation: yeah, actually I've been told I have a deviated septum
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I've had a few as adult, and I found that I passed if I breathed through my mouth - breathing through my nose was too noisy <<< if breathing through your nose is noisy you should prolly have it fixed
