Calling anyone with ears, England or Wales. There's a clinical trial of assistive technology, EarSwitch, that's running out of time to recruit enough volunteers.
(An ad was running today in my local surgery.)
You've got voluntary control of your ear muscles? Maybe take a look at helping out.
[EDIT they're looking for people with motor-neurological disability. H/t @kestral ]

Heard a loud rumble from an unknown aircraft

On Tuesday, 16 April 2024 at about 20:12 PDT I heard an unusually loud rumble from outside my home. I rushed to the backyard, wanting to see if I could spot the aircraft, but to no avail. It was a prolonged loud rumble with a low pitch and deep bass. It wasn't loud enough to shake anything but it was one of the loudest rumbles I'd ever heard. It grew fainter before stabilizing at a low volume with no change in pitch. It then gradually faded away. It was very difficult to determine which direction it was coming from but my hunch was to the north, across the Sierra Pelona.

I honestly couldn't tell which direction the plane was coming from. I looked up Flightradar24 within minutes to see if any aircraft even vaguely near me fit the bill, but none seemed to match up. Either the planes were far too small or were familiar enough to me so as to rule them out. No large aircraft were anywhere near me, regardless of altitude. The only aircraft of significant size anywhere near me was a Southwest Boeing 737 flying from Burbank up north a long distance off. If it was that I'd never heard a 737 that loud before.

If the conditions are right you might hear the faintest rumble of a launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base that hits with a significant delay after seeing it streak up into the heavens, but no launches occurred that day. It was far too loud to be a launch anyway.

My only conclusion is that it was the USAF testing aircraft in the Antelope Valley. What that aircraft was I can't say, as I checked FlightAware24 and came up empty handed. This isn't the first time I've heard a rumble like this, though it's a very rare occurrence.

Lightning in storm clouds 🌩

Lightning contributes to nitrogen deposition in the soil, acting as a natural fertilizer.

Nitrogen is an essential element for life, forming a crucial component of amino acids, proteins, and DNA. It is a fundamental building block that supports the growth and function of living organisms.

This process influences plant growth and ecosystem dynamics in regions prone to frequent lightning strikes.

My Thoughts

I did not like or feel that this song fit the show.

The first several times that I heard this song during the opening credits for Attack On Titan (Season 4 Part 2).

But things changed as the season progressed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtjQVqXUPHo

At the season and mood changed, I started to realize that this song had actually foreshadowed things to come.

Then it started to make more sense, and fit.

At this point, I actually started to like it a little.

The heavy metal parts are still a little rough to me as someone who is not a fan of that style of music usually.

But those parts not bother me as much now, and I am adding it to my music collection for when I exercise.

The end,
