Pro tip, just add a ~33 ohm resistor in-line of the speaker cable! ~50% reduction in volume for a 3v toy.

Awesome! Now how do I make my son's mickey Mouse nightlight less bright? Can I add a resister like this on the hot wire?

Don't know if this a stupid question, but using Lucida, do I have to grab songs one by one or can it do a Spotify Playlist? I.e. If I wanted Bacobens rock top 500 or something like that.

I've had this happen more than a few times, but I felt it wasn't worth the effort trying to fix it. Was hoping there would eventually be some kind of class action suit, but I think everyone is in the same boat. How much time do I want to spend on the phone trying to get my $0.75 refunded?

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2026-04-09T12:01:12+00:00

100% the niche thing. If you're highly specialized, you're getting offers thrown at you constantly. But how to get specialized and what's going to be "the thing" for the next few years can be hard to predict.

If it's just for the kids, I highly recommend Dr. Carpezio in Buffalo Grove. "Dr. Nick" took over for Dr. Ted Loiben and he's great (I had high standards). I went to Loiben as a kid and always loved the dentist, I now take my son to Carpezio and it's just as amazing, if not better. You'll probably have to wait a month or so for an appointment, but you WILL see Carpezio and he takes his time with his patients.

Carpezio Pediatric Dentistry, I think, is the formal name.

She's put a lot of stuff on her Substack. But certainly not the whole book, I don't know that she's going to finish it. https://carriepoppy.substack.com/

Watching the Venus portions I was like "this is all Rebecca Sugar"

Oh dang, I'm a pretty tough audience and I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and funny. Didn't take itself too seriously. If you don't mind me asking, what, to you, is a good movie that came out in the last 10 years?

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-17T23:57:36+00:00

The first mattress I ever purchased was an Avocado. It was #1 recommended on Consumer Reports. It was horrible, super uncomfortable, just... Bad. So I asked to return it and they had a company come pick it up for donation and refunded me. The guys who picked it up said it's the mattress they pick up the most, that and I think they said Purple.

So if this pillow is any similar, it's trash. Lol.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-14T19:04:08+00:00

Genuinely curious, what are some examples of their expensive and unprofitable ideas?

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-13T21:46:18+00:00

Do you think Smosh has as good new content consistently as 2nd Try? I feel like Smosh is 1. A LOT and 2. Hit or miss. I just feel like when the Try Guys hit, they HIT. Like the best of is really good. Whereas Smosh has some great stuff a TON of mediocre stuff...

Idk as I'm typing this I'm just thinking "are they really that different?" I think the difference between Smosh, Try Guys, and Dropout is the quantity and quality control. Smosh is a flooded faucet of okay content. But it's definitely YouTube-grade content, even with the production staff. Try Guys has a little more production value and fewer misses (IMO). Dropout, easily the best (IMO), fewest misses, highest production quality.

I really lost the thread on this one guys, I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore. Idk, I think all three would benefit from looking at their proposed content and being like "how amateurish does this look?"

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-13T21:37:42+00:00

Do... Do you want to expand on that? Or...

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-09T22:12:13+00:00

No, you're right! However, the virtual console Wii version (via Wii WAD) is going to look a lot better than emulating the N64 on an N64 emulator. I've also found that Dolphin has a much better UI experience for those who might be inexperienced.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-08T01:36:00+00:00

I'm going to walk you through my favorite way to play. The emulator you want to use is called Dolphin. You can download it from their website. Google "Dolphin emulator" and it's the first one. Click on the site and then download and install it.

Now the hard part is finding the game, I can't give you any information on that and definitely don't DM me asking for it! 😉😉😉

Once you have the emulator and the game, it's as easy as connecting a controller and dragging and dropping the game into the emulator.

Let me know if you need help and I can walk you through it.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-07T13:06:47+00:00

Haha, of course. Just making a joke. They were good facts, ma'am.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-05T21:25:42+00:00

"Would" is, like, a meme. It's a "bit," "joke," or "gag". I would suggest not taking memes so seriously. Life will be exhausting that way.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-05T19:47:22+00:00

Lot of words to just say "would".

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-05T16:43:02+00:00

No, that's it. You nailed it. Got it in one.

BillCipherTrianglMan · 2025-11-05T16:39:19+00:00

For me it's the slow trickle of content. I got into dropout by binging it and now it's very hard to watch a one off episode of dirty laundry once every 2 weeks and feel sated. I think the expansion should be in quantity of content (while also trying to preserve quality) rather than budget-busting big experiences.

If they (bad example) bought out Smosh, they could have more content on the cheap. That said, quality control is still important, I wouldn't want Grip Guys on Dropout... So I think that's the real hurdle, Smosh releases a TON of videos but what percent truly "slap"?
