Mad Cat:
More delightful Hanner-expressions! Panels 3 and 4.
Of course, since Marten's been petting Mieville, Hanners' suit now prolly has cat hair all over it. She should prolly have that looked to.

TV's, definitely, but only CRT ones (and CRT monitors). It's those 435 scanned lines 30 times a second that does it - the little magnets controlling the electron beam switching on and off make a hella whine.
But if my math's correct, it's only about 13 kHz. And assoon as the sounds on, it drowns the whine out.
LCD panels don't work the same way, but I can definitely sense something when they're turned on. Probably just the ridiculously strong EM field they generate...
Don't sit too close, kids!
laizeohbeets:
I think it's just the speakers on this computer. I can hear up to 17 on my laptop, but can only hear up to 14 on this computer. I try very, very hard to block out noises, but I'm not very good at it.
Also: I think Hannelore as an employee is a very, very bad idea. I have confidence she can do things correctly. I just feel like she and Dora will have some spats about very stupid things.
IanClark:
Does it make me twisted that my first thought after reading today's newspost was "Damn, now I really want Taco Bell"? I guess it's the closest thing you can get to Mexican food for a buck in Canadialand.
Dliessmgg:
You'll probably get closer if you search recipes on the internet and do it yourself.
