1. Loud refrigerators / appliances / computer fans
2. ICE engines with mechanical problems / modified exhaust
3. Smoke alarm replace-battery beeping
4. Noisy airflow (bad air gaps / glass insulation) in vehicles and rooms
5. Bad electric noise (bad AC/DC converters)
6. Emergency vehicle sirens that are too loud (I think this is a US phenomenon)
7. Television commercials that increase in volume over ordinary programming
I'm sure there are many more out there
Is there an explain plan sanitizer that is helpful for this situation?
On any HN corporate layoff post, we should expect some volume of named company FTEs or impacted folks commenting. There seems to be a pattern here that has been ebbing and flowing over the last few years.
Should this be a titled phenomenon/effect? I see at least 3 options here:
1) Named company employees do not read/post on HN (if true, is this HN content? divergent topic...)
2) Named company employees are coerced or otherwise compensated to not comment on these matters, even if they do not directly impact them
3) Named company employees do not care about this n% layoff and are withholding comment

Taking a peek at the source, it's so interesting to see the a piece of history. For example, this was released in Japan in 2000, then internationally months later. As I recall, there was awareness building around the idea that vibrating controllers (here, the N64 Rumble Pak accessory) cause RSI or carpal tunnel. Since the developers shortened the rumble length outside of Japan, it looks like they were aware as well: https://github.com/nanaian/papermario-dx/blob/main/src/rumbl...
I wonder what led to this decision being made at the exclusion of the JP release.

Starting to look like it might be the other way around...
If you have ever taken a commercial flight, you have seen it: the individual that needs two people to team up (or one highly capable one) and lift up or down their 40-50 lbs (~20 kg) roller from the overhead. Half the time, their help is in their party, but it slows things down.
I would estimate that this happens at least once every 4 rows on a fully occupied 6 seat wide aircraft.
Given this, forbidding passengers to bring carry ons aboard that they can't overhead lift themselves would be the only way to speed things up regardless of boarding/deboarding strategy.
Is that practical? Probably not.
Here's a paper from last year: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9321237/
Yes, it's Omicron, but 32.4% asymptomatic infection is not very rare.
Asymptomatic carriers are 75% as infectious as symptomatic individuals: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...
