I had bad lungs from birth, I never even considered smoking. Just being around somebody that smokes makes me ill. That and the fact there are so many better things to spend money on.
Is a long string of the same numbers, Quads is when the last four numbers of a post are the same. It doesn't really mean anything, is just the post ID. Some sites let you see them and the users give posts with them more weight and value. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/get for even more context.
No, I just found the name funny. I don't travel much abroad beyond visiting family, but if I find myself in Ireland I will for damn sure give this place a visit.
If anyone is curious what the story behind this is. There is a now defunct company called QSound Labs that were pioneers in the 3d audio space back in the 90s. They made both hardware and software integrations of their tech which found it's way into arcade games and movies (Capcom was a customer of theirs).
They made this particular audio clip in 1996 for one of their customers, Starkey Labs. Starkey was using an implementation of the 3d tech to produce hearing aids that would allow the wearer to tell what direction sound was coming from. Previous hearing aids had one mic and one speaker per hearing aid, meaning that they just amplified whatever sound was coming in. You'd be able to tell left from right as the volume would be different in each ear, but you couldn't tell if a sound was coming from behind or in front of you. In human hearing we are able to tell front from back due to the shape of our ears. The cartilage that makes up the external part of your ear is obviously more prominent on the back side of your ear, this causes a muffling of sounds from behind that has a specific frequency signature, our brain interprets this as things behind us.
This recording was created as an ad of sorts for Starkey's new Cetera hearing aids that featured an algorithmic system that would add these frequency changes to allow the wearer to better pick up direction of the sounds they were haring.
New Sweden was the name of the colony in the Delaware river established back in 1638, it got incorporated into New Amsterdam after the Dutch seized control during the second northern war (which was the same war that ended the Swedish Empire). I choose the name New New Sweden as a joke about this, and since people did call areas controlled by a certain ethnic group colonies on most r/place clone sites. I'm Swedish if you haven't put two and two together and just wanted a area to build Swedish stuff.
I was just about to tell you to pay attention to local elections till I read this. Is good to see some Americans give a damn about how their country is run beyond the Presidential election.
It reminds me of Pooh's Adventures and Mashup Guy Galaxy. People who grew up with media that never left their mind. I assume they are all autistic and never gew out of the media they used to enjoy. So they creat these convoluted world for their favorite obsession.
Big suprise.
Link to the article in the description of the video, is worth reading:

They have this recording and more on their site https://www.qsound.com/demos/binaural-audio.htm
Cool story behind the creation of this audio.
Black spy is loyal and dependable.
Awesome quads! Yeah that and the eyes glowing in the dark can freak you the fuck ou.
Didn't know it had a ps2 game. I only knew of the good music from the Game Boy game.
