    04:50 for those who don't know, decibel is an exponential metric. As in it doubles the energy-load within the measured metric by every 3 decibel. So it's like going from 2, to 4, to 8, to 16 etc. only it's the force of the sound-wave, so removing 9 decibel is basically shrinking the sound by 92%+.

    • @randensim3295
      @randensim3295 Před rokem +14

      it physically doubles every 3 Db, as in there’s twice as much energy. However we only perceive the sound to be twice as loud every 10 Db, so a decrease of 9 Db means it’s about half as noisy.

    It keeps jumping out to me in these sorts of videos that some of these traditional crafts, the Persian rugs in particular, always seem to be on the out, and every time they say it's because young people don't want to do them anymore. Young people would love to do them if it could pay them well, it always comes down to the producers not getting the bulk of profit for these crafts, passion can only take you so far.

Cheap printers are often sold at next to no profit or sometimes even at a loss, with the sale of ink providing the main source of revenue. It lowers the financial barrier to entry, widening their market segment, and instead of the company earning a lot of money a single time on selling an expensive printer, they earn a bit of money multiple times whenever the ink is replaced, generally providing a more predictable stream of revenue and increasing job security at the company.

If you are curious how to get your life on track, from my experience, the best thing that has tripled my net worth trading index funds in 1 year was my Fiduciary Financial advisor Lorna Rose Sabbia. You can use something else. It just takes a clear vision and discipline. Avoid debt. Cut costs to be Time Rich! Maybe one day, I will own that business I have always dreamed of and enjoy my family life even more

    I always thought it was an Urban Myth, when I was told the following story.....
    A Rolls Royce owner was travelling through Switzerland and on leaving their hotel they found that the car would not start. The owner contacted Rolls Royce. They advised him to book back into the hotel for two nights at their expense. The following day a low loader arrived with what looked like a car covered with a tarpaulin. The driver removed the tarp to reveal a second Rolls Royce. He removed the new car from the low loader and gave the owner the keys. He then manoeuvred the broken down one onto the low loader and completely covered it with the tarp.
    When he asked what was going on, the owner was told 1. He had free use of the second car for as long as his holiday lasted. 2. His own car would be returned to the factory and any repairs required would be completed with no charge. 3. On his return his own car would be brought to his home (again under wraps) and the loaner car would be taken away (under wraps).
    The owner, while deeply impressed by this service asked why? The driver replied:
    "It is quite simple, Sir... Rolls Royce cars NEVER BREAK DOWN. We will NEVER let anybody see that there may be a problem".
    Like I said - I assumed this to be an Urban Myth. However having seen this I suspect it may be closer to the truth than I ever believed!!

      He isn't the only one world wide that can paint lines on vehicles etc by hand. He is just the one they use as an excuse to charge a premium for. All American made cars that had striping or pin-stripes used to be painted by hand. There is probably a few thousand people in the USA alive now that can do it better bet. Why better? because they did it on hundreds of cars a day non stop.
