If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I'll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to "reset" to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by "Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes" which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I listen to the daily and even now they still use euphemisms for Trump's lies instead of calling them lies. I understand it's because you can't know intent but it's still annoying.

It is a lot harder to get and maintain charity status IIRC

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it "ear clicking" since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

I don't want to block it. I want to see the list of things worth 300 percent or whatever.

I mean do they care a bit. If it doesn't sell at auction or goes for basically nothing they could lose whatever value they gave to you for trade in.

Could be, though most of the "owners" are from Asian countries

It's less likely that than they don't want to pay the HDMI license fee.

The liberals are not left wing by most measures. They are probably best described as slightly right. You get the usual Neo liberal economics but you don't get the regressive social issues.

That's what most people think when they buy big book cases. Little do they know those things are dust/junk magnets. No matter what you do little knick knacks and other random crap always find their way into them.

I used to do that.

Now I use a box cutter and cut out any bar codes or serial numbers off most of the boxes and put them in the motherboard box with the rest of manuals and accessories. It was hard at first but it's been good.
