Reply to comment by not_falling_down in LPT: Trouble sleeping because of loud neighbors or street noises? Buy a white/brown noise machine! by [deleted]
Yeah those noises basically are like TV static. Some people find them soothing, some irritating. You can also have auditory illusion while listening to those because your brain is trying to find patterns in the sound, never happened to me though.
But if those sounds don’t disturb you they are a great way to drown out outside noises.

There is a TV ad for an app called Calm (ad features a short segment of "brown noise."
I find the brown noise to be intensely irritating; it sounds like loud static.

Reply to LPT: If someone is talking loudly over speakerphone in public and you want them to shut up, join in on their conversation. by ConnieKai
The last time someone was talking on speaker by me, my SO and I were having a meal at a quiet restaurant. I put my music on some heavy metal and cranked up the speaker after about 10 min, then said to the guy “It’s really hard to carry on a normal conversation with such a loud distraction right next to you, isn’t it?”

This kind of passive-aggressive shit will get you murdered in your sleep.

Insurance companies have decent remote work, but brokerage is about trucking freight. Putting drivers with shippers basically.

Some of the hardest tests I’ve ever taken were open book.

It’s not. It’s the logistics of trucking industry. Putting loads with drivers and paying them less than the shipper is for delivery, essentially.

You, by the sounds of your critical thinking.
Closed book tests are a test of memory, while open book tests can actually test the understanding of a subject by having all the basic information available and then requires the use of finding and correctly utilising that information to get the desired answer.

A bar of antibacterial soap in the shower helps. Always wash the sensitive areas with it including your pits, behind the ears, and your feet and between the toes. Makes a world of a difference.

I'm not talking about grades here. I never studied biology after school, but still from this class I remember the most (a lot most) material

Boy you got a lot out of your education. It's open book, who could fail?

There’s also browser plugins that do it for you.
