The McGurk effect is an auditory-visual illusion that occurs when what you see conflicts with what you hear. For example, if you see someone mouth the sound "ga" while hearing the sound "ba", you might perceive the sound "da".
Explanation
The McGurk effect occurs when your brain combines what you see and hear to create a new sound. This can happen when the visual and auditory components of speech don't match.

I just had a realization….there are now 5000 households from Palisades alone that are “homeless” (except those with second houses) and sounds like another 5000 around LA.
It’s a good bet these are mostly the same people who consistently voted against low income housing in LA, definitely NIMBY. They now find themselves competing for the few available rental properties.
In the short term that’s karmic. In the long term, I wonder what it means for their homeless population and wonder if we can expect an exodus since services and opportunities are about to dry up.
Good time to be in demolition/construction in LA.

On a side note, thousands of animals are now homeless, lost, hurt, or in need of supplies in LA. If you can donate directly to a local rescue, do it. Don’t donate to national charities that spend 98% on advertising and administration costs, donate directly to rescue organizations that spend donations on animals.

Why do at least half the “barks” sound like they’re the same recording?

Hunter pardoned!

Awwwww….all that sound and fury for nothing, just exposing the corrupt right willing to suborn any level of perjury and put up any foreign criminal they could find to attack their political rival’s families.

Another abuse thwarted, Hunter is pardoned….just like the next president plans to do for himself and has already done for his own family members and most of his convicted administration officials, donors (anyone willing to pay >$200k for a pardon), his lawyers, campaign officials, and dozens of drug traffickers, and plans for the treasonous anti American cop killing traitors that tried a violent coup and failed.
No whining, babies, this is how you support law and order in your party.

(Worth noting Jared Kushner’s father was under investigation for tax fraud and thought his brother in law was cooperating so hired a prostitute to seduce his brother in law, filmed it secretly, then showed the video to his sister for revenge and intimidation. He was caught, admitted it, was convicted/ pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering, Trump pardoned him, he is now the ambassador to France in the next administration…another sex trafficking tax cheating blackmailer and extortionist that has no limit to his depravity and whose crimes were serious, 100% intentional, and were intended to harm others in a position of power. France should (and may) deny him entry.)

Since HL2 will be/is 20 yrs. old and we're all getting nostalgia! Let's talk about those days!

IIRC during the first week of its release, I bought its retail from a local Best Buy with a $10/10% sale or something back then. According to my detailed https://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I recently upgraded my Windows gaming PC with these parts: "... ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz 512KB Socket 754 single core CPU, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (VIA K8T800 Socket 754 ATX; VIA VT8237 South Bridge; Revision 2; onboard sound disabled; onboard NIC not used/connected (using 3COM NIC for network) and can't be disabled or else Promise Raid won't be activate), a 3 fan HDD Peeze cooler, 1 GB of PC3200 Kingston RAM (CAS 3), and Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS." I think I also got Windows XP OS too.

Anyways, I remember playing this game over my long Thanksgiving weekend. It was amazing! Very smooth, pretty, and fun! I don't remember how long it took me to finish it. It was a great sequel. Of course years later, episodes 1 and 2 (The Orange Box -- will talk about that in three years). I don't have and want a VR to play Alyx.

What about the rest of you? Also, remember PlanetHalfLife.com web site? RIP, & GameSpy's web sites.

Or a nice game of playing chest under the sheets. She sounded sexy.

He knows it’s over.
That’s why he’s refusing to sign off on the peaceful transfer of power, refusing to sign the agreements that allow them to vet their proposed administration officials, they are refusing the over $7 million in government funding to prepare for the transition, and refusing access to free office space.
He’s refusing because his officials would have to sign ethics agreements, and his donors would be limited to $5k donations and would be publicly listed. Watch, he won’t disclose them ever because most of his funding comes from hostile foreign powers that want to harm America, like Russia (Iran’s biggest ally). He doesn’t need it because his team has been put together by the Heritage foundation and project 2025 and they know they won’t pass a vetting…and he doesn’t need it because his chances of winning have evaporated and now it’s pure grift.

😂 He’s rage tantrum tweeting that CBS should lose their license to broadcast because he refused to be interviewed and they reported it. He has now threatened to revoke the license of all 3 major networks and a multitude of smaller ones, and Google, for reporting his words and actions. 😂

Maggots in the hurricane zone are refusing assistance because of the stupidity you have been sold. I hope you are one. Good job. Don’t take a dime of FEMA assistance or they will take your property and give it to Haitians! Don’t even evacuate or they won’t let you go home! I hope that culled a few thousand morons or more. Is this you?

He knows. If he thought he might win, he would never be doing this. It’s going to kill him with non cultists and would make a transition nearly impossible.

PS- turns out Kavenaugh was never investigated by the FBI, (the “supplemental background information” they have provided for Supreme Court nominees since their inception), the felon blocked their investigation and would not let them investigate any of the thousands of tips of sexual assaults reported to them. The report was just released. He’s another rapist that the rapist in chief protected, and has 4500 reports of misconduct to blackmail him with. More sick maga criminal debauchery every single day…real violent criminal sexual abuses not just idiotic baseless accusations like you produce.

Oh no! 300 more pages of evidence against the felon are to be released today/tomorrow, the appendix to the 160 page brief of the evidence released last week. Sounds like he missed another deadline to file what he wants redacted, so it may go out in edited! He really doesn’t want this evidence public, especially now that voting has started! Oof!

Those sounds bring back some great memories

"What is the sound of no hands slow-clapping?"

Funny how that break-away bottle sounded super fake.

They should have edited the audio to make it sound like actual glass breaking or something.

Totally distracted me.

Haha the engine adds it's own "girl screaming" sound!

This is not a skilled tactic. This is an interviewer being an asshole. Given my own experience and the people I work with, it is very probable that the person being interviewed is on the autistic spectrum and the 'tactic' will cause any trust that existed beforehand to evaporate.

Before anyone rushes to the interviewer's defence and profusely declares how much of a liar this guy is, stop and think for a moment. Would someone who is of sound mind and judgement say anything to compare themselves to Stewie Griffin? That is your first clue towards getting an appropriate interviewer in there.

I hope the assholes promoting this technique are eliminated from their jobs. They have a cruel streak if they truly believe this is a legitimate tactic.
