Reply to comment by Adavis72 in ‘We found the Artemis-I noise level at 5 km had a crackling quality about 40 million times greater than a bowl of Rice Krispies.’ — Maximum noise measured during Artemis-I launch on 16 Nov. 2022 was higher than predicted by marketrent
There's a simple formula for that. All weird units but it works out.
C=(3E/L)^O/D
C=Number of bowls
E=Height of the Empire State Building in smoots.
L=Information content of the Library of Congress in HD floppy discs
O=Orbital radius of Luna in yards
D=Distance to cereal in attoparsecs

As being a person who is suffering from multiple sclerosis I'd love to have this device on my weak leg.

This sounds familiar, I wonder if it's a more official study published in Nature.
I heard about this on NPR a year or so ago about something similar in a guy in Boston, and they used some great metaphors to help us understand. Link to article similar to what I heard: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/02/05/964447070/where-did-the-coronavirus-variants-come-from
Basically, since the body couldn't fight off the coronavirus, it was allowed to multiply completely freely in this person's body. Then at a certain point, due to being in a kind of "survival of the fittest situation", it was began an evolutionary arms race with itself. Different strains would battle each other for supremacy, and over months the dominant version of the coronavirus would change. Since they were taking blood samples regularly, scientists were able to track this battle as it played out in real time.
One interesting thing that happened is that they could use the rapid evolution in this one guy to partially predict where evolution might take place with the circulating variants.

I feel like this has been failry obvious for a long time? Obviously cognitive impaired people are going to have a harder time taking care of themselves. Am I wrong or am I missing something

With the launch hitting 129 dB, that would put the Rice Krispie bowl at 54 dB.

I know most of those words.

And my partner, he’s been nearly bed bound since a series of strokes and has dysarthria (swallowing/speech issues caused by muscle weakness)
