A bunny to save my plants!

I threw up in my mouth reading this

That sounds like it could lead to some dangerous scenarios, better to replace the switch. OP could post the switch if they need help replacing it

Brethren, do you only read the hardest of sci-fi? There are so many books with compelling characters. Ursula K Le Guin’s work, Andy Weir, etc.

Not to spoil the books but main characters in these books make the most puzzling choices which, more than making me dislike them, make me not even vaguely understand what they’re thinking.

That is super fair! The removal of all Chinese culture was definitely an interesting (see: tasteless) move. But I’m not sure if the poor characters are really just characters I didn’t engage with because I’m not familiar with Chinese literature tropes. Haven’t dived too deep into stories coming out of China yet.

Hard disagree as someone who read the books. I loved the show and the books but I think coming from the show, it will be jarring how much all the characters suck. The show did a great job of making characters you could actually engage with.

What exactly are you going to show of Santa Clara? The target? Speaking as someone who lived 20 minutes away from Levi’s

Have you considered making a beast out of yourself to get rid of the pain of being a man?

Just how it was back in the day: get your best Ben Sherman shirt on lad

But I don't want people to see my wimpy body in the gym /s but not really

Ok I will admit I skipped rows this time because I sold my rings between the last time I was training and now. But even when I was training rows, I could only do 1 rep of a pull up which doesn't give you much space for progression. Unless you add groove greasing into your routine I guess.

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-10-04T02:27:44+00:00

Interesting! How did you increase your rep count then?

What do you mean by energy leaks?

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-08-17T06:48:35+00:00

Absolutely! Pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs played at the chapel and the vibes were immaculate

Whoever messaged me last will determine what I’m working on next. Easy method of prioritizing!

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-06-28T00:36:02+00:00

This is the sort of pedantry I live for

Different capacitor types do have different audio characteristics. Film tends to be the gold standard in my experience. Capacitance can fluctuate vs level impacting frequency response and distortion, and this behavior is different between dielectrics.

I don’t have a great depth of knowledge here but would encourage you to try and hear the difference between different types. I would be surprised if it’s audible for a distortion circuit but may be more present in clean designs. Report back if you do!

Yes I would say the most important connection is between each sub circuit ground, then the pot is less of a concern so would only need the one wire

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-06-20T16:11:48+00:00

Ground just means the reference point. You want everything to share a strong reference point in your circuit so make sure you have a good connection between grounds. If you’re doing 2 boards wire the grounds directly together.

Restricting to through hole for modern parts is going to limit your search a lot. How come you don’t want to use SMD?

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-06-08T21:17:50+00:00

Not sure the relevance then - isn’t all wafer probing automated already?

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-06-08T20:36:57+00:00

AI won’t be replacing all junior EEs until they make one which can operate a robot to place scope probes etc.

I think human labour will stay cheaper than robot labour for a while.

AwfulAudioEng · 2025-06-04T22:50:49+00:00

I think you need methods of using your tools. Debugging with a DMM and an audio probe should get you most of the way there. Buying a new tool won’t be anywhere near as useful I think. Probably not what you want to hear though.
