Honestly, it doesn’t even need to be outside the range of human hearing.

A quick search for “audio steganography” should answer your question (and be a fun rabbit hole if you find that sort of topic interesting)

It’s the conversational equivalent of “Let me google that for you”.

I have a couple boogie boards, and they're very handy for making notes or single-session scribbles, but their major drawback is the "all or nothing" reset.

I don't think I realized how often I need to erase or update a small section of a list or diagram without erasing the entire thing until using these.

They don’t normally get fired at random on a whim either. Nothing about this is normal.

Speaking as someone with familial hyperlipidemia / hypercholesterolemia and based on many years of conversations with multiple lipidologists…

Heterozygous FH will typically put someone at a total cholesterol roughly around 500mg/dl, and homozygous will get them closer to the 1000mg/dl mark. Dietary factors for most people will affect their lipids up to +/- 40mg/dl, and medication is generally required for anything beyond that.

For the gentleman with cholesterol nodules, that’s a not-unheard of symptom of homozygous FH and the associated cholesterol levels. I’m sure his diet is exacerbating it, however I would be genuinely surprised if that were the primary cause of his count being > 1000mg/dl. (With homo-FH and an extremely restricted diet, he’d still be unlikely to get below 900mg/dl)

...and many of us would simply rather not use Google products if that's the deal they're offering. Hence, the original article link.

There are smaller ISPs around the US that may or may not be more consumer-friendly, but they tend to be very limited in terms of their regions and availability. Even in urban areas, the choice tends to be between the standard duopoly of either DSL or cable, and the dominant providers tend to aggressively undercut on price or lobby & litigate until the competitors go out of business.

There's an element of control when you're in a personal vehicle that's lacking when you're on transit with the general public, and fatalities aren't necessarily the only risk factor to be considered.

e.g. I'm less likely to be mugged or assaulted in a personal vehicle compared to public transit but I'm also more likely to have my vehicle broken into or stolen. Public transit is also _very_ different during typical commute times, compared to off hours.

This method also seems like it may fall victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect; team members who should be "asking", or at least "showing" their work, but default to "ship it" under the impression they know what they're doing and just want to get it done and move on.

I like the concept in theory, but it relies almost entirely on the personal opinion of the submitter, and I'm not sure the submitter is always the best judge of what level of review their own work requires.

> The response told me that I must delete all of the posts and comments beforehand.

Reddit appears to also be making this as difficult as possible. According to both my user profile and the scripts being used to delete my account history, I've successfully deleted all my posts and comments...

A quick Google search of my username however, turns up hundreds of posts & comments still on Reddit going back several years, but which don't appear anywhere in my user profile.

I'm not sure if this is simply poor design on their part, or if this is a deliberate attempt to frustrate deletion attempts... but I'm not currently inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt given recent statements and actions.

After reading far too many similar stories to this one, I've always made a fresh backup and completely wiped my phone before walking into the store. Any testing they need to do can be done on a factory default installation, and restoring from backup is relatively painless these days.
