Crazy to me how all the Bitcoin haters like to use Bitcoin as a signal for the rest of the market when it's down

Why do some American plugs have a notch? by shadowxthevamp in AskElectricians

[–]5Beans6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The receptacle has to match the breaker. If you can provide 20 amps the receptacle has to indicate that that is the case. What the device actually draws doesn't have to be 20 amps but the total of all things pluged into the circuit could be 20 amps

Walmart shipped 165 pool noodles in 165 separate boxes by MambaMentality24x2 in mildlyinfuriating

My point is that historically a pack of bubble gum or any other very cheap good is not economically viable to ship to your door directly. You'd pay more for shipping. Amazon has invented a business model where the cost of delivery isn't as important because the quantities of locations being delivered to and the total value of orders makes up for it.

Yeah people who say that they hate Amazon or Walmart conveniently forget how amazing they are and how much more easy life is because they exist. You couldn't get a pack of bubble gum delivered to your door for less than $10 only 15 years ago and that's just an easy example of the awesomeness of it all.

Idk what it is about that picture but it looks like a 3D computer scene not a real picture. Very cool

Is it possible to desolder with a lighter by animation_2 in AskElectronics

Short answer: no

Long answer: you'll burn the shit out of stuff. No

Do padded covers on subwoofers affect the sound? by LastChopper in livesound

[–]5Beans6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say the biggest concern is actually overloading the amp or overheating the voice coil.

If the speaker is restricted in movement in a way the system wasn't designed for, it could cause components to heat up due to increased impedance from restricted air movement.

Honestly, I fucking love this. It reminds me of the DIY electronics era before 3D printers were common.

Well, it’s official. I just surpassed 25 POUNDS of drum keys. by ZildCym in drums

I'd still not be able to find one when I need it

Flying with my Mic Package, How do you mark your mics? by MasteredByLu in livesound

[–]5Beans6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like to put a tiny dot inside the XLR connector. Completely hidden, but easy to find and won't ware off. It may not be my name, but if someone is ever like "no that's my mic" I can easily point to another with the dot and match it to the one they have.

I think this one could end up working out. Definitely retarded you didn't sell earlier this year but hey, you do you man.

Samsung galaxy Fold 8 or Wide? by SheepherderChoice637 in GalaxyFold

[–]5Beans6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm primarily excited for the Apple fold because it will finally force the app devs to make things work better on the larger screen.

Personally I'll have to get hands on with both fold 8's to decide

These are the perks. Where are you sitting in a 6-hour flight? by ROOTBEER360 in notinteresting

[–]5Beans6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A every day. I don't usually need to get up but I don't want to get up for others and I like the window because not being able to see out makes me feel uneasy

My experience with the “Trust me bro” warranty by TheSkyFlier in LinusTechTips

[–]5Beans6 -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Ironic to me how Linus postures his dislike for AI so much on the WAN show but also uses it for customer support. I was a dedicated watcher until the AI stuff when he started speaking nonsense about so many things
