The quick question thread

[GrandeGuy]

Does anyone know what ATT stands for, and its function on my pioneer headunit? Seems to half mute sound when hit, but seems a bit pointless imo, not sure if this is its truefunction or not?

Abbreviation of attenuate which means to become weaker.
It was used to connect to car phone, so that when the phone went a signal is sent down to quieten the radio.

my old ham radio had a front end attenuator that made incoming radio signals weaker, in case there was some one very local to you transmitting.

its cool, but at 12 volts it looks like something designed to pop fuses/melt wiring with the amount of amps it needs.

Found this quiet funny

Cat righting reflex

In reality, cats do possess the ability to turn themselves right side up in mid-air if they should fall upside-down, known as the cat righting reflex, which enables them to land on their feet if dropped from sufficient height (about 30cm). A similar ability has not been reported for buttered toast.

I can't claim the credit for this one -- it comes from today's Guardian:

When do we start to become old? Moreover, when do we cease to be young? Are they the same thing?​

A friend has a Nissan Micra. Yes I know... :yuck:

When she turns her headlights on the light on the dash doesn't light up, but the dash as a whole does light up.

Will it pass an MOT? Thanks.
