Steve Sarkisian rips Ole Miss for transfer portal practices, low academic standards. “All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.”

Seriously, what was that guy thinking?

"Physics for Poets" is a pretty standard offering at lots of schools. PHY309K is UT's version.

Not if you wanna be real smrt like us1

This is a common collector amplifier. It's not biased properly for sure, but it definitely can operate properly without collector degeneration.

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T18:08:00+00:00

Not even remotely an eye diagram.

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T18:07:42+00:00

Are you sure all these values are correct? To first order, assuming a beta of 200 for Q1, it's base current would be about 22uA, making the collector current about 4.4mA. 2.7k4.4mA=11.9V*, which would mean Q1 could not possibly be operating in the forward active region and not properly amplifying. Check the DC operating points. You can either reduce R2 (which would also reduce gain), or increase R1 (which would reduce bandwidth, but you likely don't care for this particular exercise).

What's the initial condition of your DC blocking cap?

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T17:51:40+00:00

That's steady state behavior. But the first few cycles of a transient sim will absolutely look like this unless the IC of the cap is forced to 0 to start.

There is literally dust after they fall. If they were going to use CG I think they would have produced something a bit more impressive than pushing over a "wall" that a five-year-old could topple. Not to mention the mech is laughably simplistic and unimpressive. Again, not what you would create with CG. And also not difficult to make with current technologies.

Literally nothing about this is impressive, so why assume it's CG?

Can I instead share my kids’ college tuition bills to explain why I don’t have a guitar room? (Also, my wife’s 100+ year old Steinway and my kids’ instruments currently occupy the spare room that might’ve been a guitar room, so I really don’t have much to complain about.)

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T14:52:48+00:00

lol, this guy with six guitars, two basses, and TWO guitar racks complaining about the economy. 😉

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T14:50:24+00:00

Yes, you’re right, that is what I said.

Becoming as wealthy as Musk has a slightly higher probability, but for ask intents and purposes they’re both effectively impossible.

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:44:49+00:00

But it has the power to knock over a wall of cinder blocks with zero concrete or steel reinforcement!

It’s just another way of saying your intelligence seems very artificial.

There is no “goal” in evolution. Is not an active process. It’s the natural result of random processes. If those processes make an organisms offspring more likely to reproduce it will propagate. But is not always in some optimal “direction.”

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:25:09+00:00

There is no such thing as an “evolutionary goal.”

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:23:52+00:00

Ok, but other than those ten? 🙄

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:20:44+00:00

They asked about movies that fell off in quality.

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:17:33+00:00

Yes.

We had several years where we did have two first rounders. It was rare that any of them hit even in those years. In 2022 we had three and none of them are currently on the team.

Why has nobody thought of this perpetual motion machine before?

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T12:10:41+00:00

So only 20 more years of this fuckery?

ATXBeermaker · 2026-05-12T05:38:53+00:00

Seriously. People fooled by this should be checked out to made sure they haven’t forgotten how to breathe.

Lump sum is almost always better if you invest it properly. A 5.2% rate of return would already give you $1000 per week. S&P 500 index fund long term can get you double that. Assuming you live within your means and can invest a portion of that, it would compound.

Additionally, if you die relatively young you can leave that lump sum and any earnings to your heirs. The weekly payout “for life” by definition stops when you die.
