AlainGr Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I read too fast... I selected my range of age, but forgot to mention my gender Does this mean something (about my uncertainty for my gender) ? Should I do a sighted or a DBT test ? Alain Link to comment

Should I do a sighted or a DBT test ? Bruce Jenner or whatever his name is now, might be able to help ya. He's supposed to be an expert. I think his DBT for the last 65 years was a little off.

elcorso Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm 62 and I just don't care about some freq above 12khz. There are many other important things to worry about besides some freq I can't hear anyway. Don't worry be happy! I just got a WhatsApp from a close friend in the heaven : "Frequencies beyond 12kHz are banned here, if you like it please go to hell where they use it to torture, WiFi included ..."

Ms Jenner's situation is not one which should be used for scoring points in humour or otherwise! Sorry Eloise, I sure was not hoping that this would be taken as the expression of my intolerance towards someone's desire to be accepted for what he believes in. Sometimes I forget that I am not talking to a friend that knows my way of thinking. A forum is not the right place to be understood, since we only show fragments of who we are (or who we think we are). If there is something I believe in, it's "Live and let live"... Thanks for the reminding and sorry for the confusion... Alain Link to comment

If I actually knew who the Kardashians were (I though they were the antagonists in later Star Trek TNG and then DS9) then I might agree with that. But yes live and let live (as AlainGr commented) is a good philosophy. Personally I like Thumper's father's advice... Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience...

Kal Rubinson Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm very surprised by the results of this thread! If it had been a straight audiophile pole, (not geared towards people who are computer savvy), then I would have expected to see the ages weighted towards us older folks. But because the emphasis here is on computer-based audio, I thought the members would have been younger. I didn't even touch my first computer until I was about 30. Some of us old farts have been into computers almost as long as we have been into music and its technology. I got my first computers (DEC PDP-11 and PDT-11) back in the early 70s.

esldude Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 There has so got to be a Photoshopped "Kim Cardassian" Photo That Broke The Internet around somewhere! Loved DS9, BTW. Nah, probably afraid the Roddenberry estate would sue over it. At the very least he might turn over in his grave. Or maybe not: http://brandtk.deviantart.com/art/Kim-Cardassian-179965207 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

cadela Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Maybe there should be a 3rd question... Are you an ADD? I only voted my age but didn't see the 'male' or 'female' poll. (not that it is important, but I really didn't want to miss answering the easiest question in this forum, darn it. I missed the question.!) So, my answer is::::: Female.... Female... and Female... If I've given 3 more chances to answer it! Yes, I am a big ADD as well, I always miss the most important questions right in front of my eyes. Cadela swims/moves/hears like an Olive Ridley turtle.
