rclkrtrzckron We Induced Smells With Ultrasound

Same here, and it's still there. I can't smell or taste a random set of stuff, like cinnamon, poop/farts. What annoys me most is that female genitalia just taste like nothing, literally...

In addition to this, I sometimes smell scents that do not exist.

Kicks all these fart apps to a new dimension

rclkrtrzckron Tinnitus Neuromodulator

I had mine measured a few years ago. I had given some headphones in a quiet room, with a low frequency sinus wave on it. Whenever I said I could hear the tone clearly, they increased the frequency. At one point, the tone blends with my tinnitus tone, that's the whole magic. They then measure the current volume in dB, just by increasing/decreasing the tone's volume.

I'm on 12kHz, vacuum cleaner level.

rclkrtrzckron You know more Finnish than you think

Hey neighbour!

Growing up bi-(or even multi)-lingual is always a good opportunity when it comes to speaking, especially here in Switzerland.

rclkrtrzckron Ukrainian hackers destroyed the IT infrastructure of Russian drone manufacturer

I am working for a medium sized Swiss company. We're coding our own ERP, based on a nightmare of a stack. We call it "security by confusion". An attacker would maybe find its way in, but he'll never find the way out. If he destroys 90% of our code, we'll still be up and running, because 95% of the codebase is obsolete.

Isn't ".pl" actually used for perl?

Well, there might be a Prolog interpreter written in (a) perl (regex) ...
