    The axis going up is amplitude, the one going right and down is time, and the new axis rightward and upward (left to right on the right-hand chart) is frequency.

    The left chart doesn’t show the frequency axis. The right one doesn’t show time.

    The wave shown on the left in the dark cyan color is (shown to be) composed of two different waves of two frequencies shown on the left in gray and in the space between charts as dark cyan. The higher frequency one is lower amplitude.




  • There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. ‘Unsweetened and carbonated’ is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.

    Of course different strokes for different folks, I don’t think people who like it should stop, I just don’t get why they do.

    For the lazy:

    “A source of confusion is that ‘citron’ in French and English are false friends, as the French word ‘citron’ refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is ‘cédrat’.

    Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]”







  • Just in case…

    When they said “7 ounces / just under a cup.” that’s not a particular physical cup. A “cup” is an exact measure in the US, it’s 8 fluid ounces, which is 236.5882365 milliliters precisely.

    Even if the US does go metric, it will take a lot longer than 50 years for people to not know how big a cup is, all measuring tools in every kitchen are marked for them and the other common units like tablespoons and teaspoons*, and virtually every recipe uses them.

    *I wish I was joking.
