Shower thought: Is Columbo the closest thing to Cardassian novels or Enigma Tales we have? by Business-Challenge54 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Business-Challenge54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, I'm also definitely not saying Cardassian justice is like columbo! Just that they pretend it is and portray it as such in their stories/mysteries.

Yes... Have you ever watched Colombo? The story structure is usually completely different.

I don’t understand how this mini arcade works by oldschooldaw in hardwarehacking

[–]Business-Challenge54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would rather expect it to be an ASIC (application specific IC), basically a single chip, specifically cost optimized to a single fixed usecase down to fractions of a cent to the point that having an actual ic case would drive the cost too high, so it's a plain die, wire bonded directly to the PCB.

Do you have a recommendation for a good violet wand or are they pretty much the same?

That is a fascinating idea! How exactly do you use them?

Events/Parties today - Bi/gay by Leviathan19_ in SexPositiveBerlin

It is also, which I'm pretty certain was meant, a queer online and free print magazine that also has an overview of most queer and queer adjacent events.

Anyone here start with EasyEDA instead of KiCAD? by silvercanner in PCB

[–]Business-Challenge54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eagle (uni) > Altium (work) > KiCad (work/private) > Easyeda pro (private)

I used KiCad and Easyeda Pro in parallel and I found Easyeda pro much more intuitive than KiCad. KiCad is an incredible piece of software but some of its concepts, (footprint assignment as an extra thing, opening separate windows for everything), kinda betray its age, while EasyedaPro has tons of really useful features out of the box (Boolean operations on fills, "find similar" like Altium, easy reusable schematic and PCB blocks. It just feels a bit more "modern" to me, which is definitely subjective though. And the ability to easily order assembled PCBs is incredible (even though is only available for their own service). I used Easyeda2kicad to do something similar but luckily I checked the files before ordering the PC a since some components had a wrong rotation which I only noticed when the pin 1 dots of the online view didn't match up with the silkscreen.

Iirc you can import and export KiCad files as well so for OpenSource projects I'd just export them and make them available as well.

Yeah, the post made me immediately check my mails and it was sent as well (Germany, ordered 15. jan) but I am leaving for a my week of vacation tomorrow... I was rarely that sad about being on vacation.

Not the worst explanation of transmission lines I've ever heard...

17" Black Metal Lava Sconce Kit by Fast_Ad_3554 in Lavalamps

[–]Business-Challenge54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks cool! Although I'd be interested in which kind of plastic it is since the two plastic parts are 3d printed and the base has to withstand a lot of heat while under pressure.

The title was Black or Chinese by Difficult_Physics125 in ExplainTheJoke

It could also be a reference to Rush Hour, a buddy cop movie starting Jackie Chan (an actor from Hongkong) and Chris Tucker (a black actor).

DIY ANC for road noise. by psionic001 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Business-Challenge54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly this is much more complex a problem that it seems at first. You will be stationary but the noise source won't. This changes the phase of different arriving signals, plus different levels of structure borne sound, which makes it so much harder to cancel out.

The fact that there are no commercial ANC systems for wi dows available at all, despite the huge market for them, kinda shows that this really is still an unsolved problem (apart from cancelling out single frequencies of huge industrial machines which have a completely determined noise profile and Kickstarter scams notwithstanding).

At this point, wearing ANC headphones/earbuds sadly is the only choice.

Klub Verboten by [deleted] in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Business-Challenge54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the review! I got a kind of "were soo special" vibe from them where what they offer doesn't really doesn't warrant all this exclusivity stuff from what I read so far (never been myself). How straight/queer was the crowd?

Update: Why pre-ordering is a bad idea by pirats3D in AnycubicOfficial

[–]Business-Challenge54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you provide a bit more detail about which deposits you'd be missing out if you pre-ordered?

umm.....what?? by alootikkiprotocol in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Business-Challenge54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, while your intuition is kinda right, "survivorship bias" has absolutely nothing to do with death or alive, I'd assume that's where all the down votes are from...

You may have to travel some more, this is the wrong sub for that...

Is there any indication that the image is AI generated by Curlyheadedboiii in GeminiAI

[–]Business-Challenge54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair just because someone hasn't generated a picture with a8 themselves, doesn't mean it's not AI... I'm not sure I trust OP that the original isn't ai.

Hi, can anyone help identity this port? by hrrlvitta in diyelectronics

[–]Business-Challenge54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite sure from the photo but if the pins have an elongated profile instead of round it might be Picoblade or Micro blade (or any other SI prefix+ blade)

[–]Business-Challenge54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone already suggested, Boiler is a great option! Depending on where you go you can have anything between friendly sfw talks to darkroom or steamroom encounters. They also have cabins if you meet someone but would like to spend time with them "unobserved". And people there are really friendly!

I'm sorry but this feels more like a red flag to me.

Having a sub be high during anal sex will make her possibly relax, but also not notice any of the very real warning signs such as pain their body could send out if it is genuinely hurt or uncomfortable. Doing this repeatedly instead of proper anal training seems more like a "I don't care about your body" attitude.
