Oddbean new post about login | logout A big downside of overloaded ears being jammed into full-on ramscoop mode is that I can hear the dog barking outside, through the wall, beneath the audio file I'm trying to use to cover up the noise. At one point back in the day I could hear a toilet running in another room under three fans set on maximum speed and VLC set loud enough to hear over the fans. It might be time for earplugs.
