Yeah, they shit all over the place, J-walk super slowly with all of their baby geese, and will hiss at you and bite you. *quality

Going from 16 bits, to 24 bits will lower the noise floor which, if you have the audio turned up enough, you can hear it ever so slightly. It's not a huge difference and you're not going to hear it in a typical song. It's definitely there, but it's already insanely quiet at 16 bits. An "Audiophile" on pristine gear may notice the slight change in hiss in a moment of silence, with the speakers cranked up - but that's about it.

As for pushing up the sampling rate, when you get beyond 44.1kHz, you're not really dealing with anything musical anymore. All you're hearing, if you're hearing it at all, is "shimmer". or "air". It sounds "different" and you might be able to tell which is which, but it's one of those differences that doesn't really matter in effect. A 44.1khz track can still make ear-piercingly high frequencies - the added headroom just makes it glisten in a really inconsequential way.

This is coming from 17 years of music production. I've gone through all of this, over and over again, testing myself, trying to figure out what is and isn't important.

At the end of it all, I work on everything in 16bit 48kHz - I record audio files in 24 bit 48 kHz - then export as 16 bit 44.1kHz. I don't enable dither anymore. I don't buy pro-audio sound cards anymore. I don't use "studio monitors" anymore. I just take good care of my ears and make music now.

So? Yea I have spikes coming out of my dick. What about it? I was born this way damnit! *Hisses and jumps out window*

I knew all that hissing and clawing was unnecessary. This cat knows how to show what it (doesn't) want without harming the owner.

We've done this trick in our back yard in Winnipeg when it gets cold enough to try it.

Since we live in a bungalow, we have to toss the water up into the air rather than pouring it off a balcony, but it makes the same curious hissing sound as you can hear in this video starting at about the 29 second mark.

Is that just the sound that water makes when it crystallises very quickly, or is there some other physics at play?

Fair enough, but how do you feel about that staple of the modern Sifting experience...
...cat videos?

kill 'em all.


*hiss*

My dog corners a local cat occasionally - he stands and barks at it, while it hisses at him. The cat is big, but he's an English Springer Spaniel, about 5 times the weight of even a big domestic cat, yet he won't go within paw-swipe range unless his pack is right by him. I guess this dog wanted to play, and the cat knew it, otherwise they'd both be a lot more agitated and the child would be in danger.

Giving birth the hissing cockroach way:
...because if you're going to be split open by a writhing mass of dozens of new lives, it's better to be upside-down.

Why would a creeper say "What the Fuck!" before exploding...I thought they hissed!

I once had a cat that ruled our neighborhood. I strongly remember one late night, when I was hanging out with a friend and my cat got into a fight under the house. But it wasn't a little cat brawl.. you can hear the two cats banging against the pipes under the house, growls and hissing. It was a real knock down drag out fight, some other cat must have tried to take over his favorite spot. Was one hell of a brawl.

Later he came inside, not a scratch on him. I felt bad for that other cat.

Boo hiss. This is a great movie. *promote
