Watch the eyes to see if they are reading lips.

Dad passed on in 2003. Too late for that analysis.

I'm not quite that old yet, but I'm that deaf.

And besides, taking apart log files and/or memories will let you know.

Think of the eyes.

You ignited a 'book idea'. You lost your father in 2003. I lost my father in 2004......

When does the last human die? Even if we miss the Singularity, it's going to happen. Who is it? What's the story?

Thanks. I'll dedicate some white space to you on a fronticepiece.

I wish you success in your writing. The Earth is so large that the last living human will be unaware of that unique fact. If that person sought to record the experience, who would ever read it in the future?

Great, there goes the pic! Does anyone have ideas on where to cross-post info on HR 1604 so that more inclined WA folks can become aware and write their reps?

Bear in mind that most calibers/loading won't be "movie quiet" in a handgun, though since .45 is already subsonic it'll be pretty quiet. On a rifle, with a really big suppressor, you can get 100% ear-safe though. I've seen some .44 Mag rifles with huge fat cans (imagine three cola cans stacked together) that were quieter than clapping:

Roger on the no movie-quiet. TV and movies create absurd expectations in so very many ways. Interesting thought on the .44 rifle; one of my favorite guns is my lever Ruger .44. Fantastic little rifle.

Thanks!
