  • To expand a little bit - the ridges of your outer ear will attenuate certain frequencies of sound more than others depending on the height of the source relative to your head. Animals that don’t have these outer ear ridges can still find the source of a sound laterally since they have two ears, and tilting their head tilts the plane of their ears letting them get some vertical sound perception.

    In the smarter every day vid on this topic, they had a blindfolded person point to the source of a sound (succeeded no problem), and then packed clay into the outer ear ridges to mess with that sound attenuation. The person was able to keep their lateral sound perception but the vertical was all over the place.






  • It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.

    As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)





  • I feel where you’re coming from, and on the other side of that I think labels can do a lot of good. There’s a lot of relief and comfort that comes when someone who might otherwise have thought themself broken discovering that there are more out there like them. Finding a label that resonates can get them there. I’m speaking from firsthand experience.
