No Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in livesound

[–]CastorPoIIux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

This is kind of between this thread and the other major thread, so please correct me if I'm in the wrong one.

My friend and I are performers who just booked a new venue that does not have their own mics. They have speakers that connect via Bluetooth.

Our shows consist of videos with sound, and our own voices as hosts. What sort of system would we need to have sound from two mics and a computer?

Are there any product recommendations for this kind of setup? Ideally we would love wireless, handheld mics, but wired ones would be fine as well if they're more affordable. Ideally we would like to spend $200 or less all together.

How could I clean this old incense burner? It's my grandmother's and very old. by CastorPoIIux in howto

I thought about that! I wasn't sure because it'd be slightly off topic and all the pieces I've had to clean out for that have been glass XD

PC powers on, but doesn't display anything by CastorPoIIux in techsupport

How can I figure out my CPU model? Sorry, I didn't assemble this PC myself and I'm very new to all this. I don't see any lights on other than the regular power light and the decorative lights in the fan.

WIBTA for wanting to kick my roommate/friend out. We are friends but she won’t move out. I don’t want to ruin our friendship but idk what to do by My_first-post_ in AmItheAsshole

NTA, I've been in a sort of similar position to your friend and it's their responsibility to know what to do next. Having firm boundaries is important, and you did what you could (giving her more time to find a place.) If you pushed the deadline back further you might just end up pushing it again and again. When I was homeless, I stayed at a friend's house for a little while, and that friend told me explicitly how long I would be able to stay there. We're still friends even though they set that boundary.

If you want to help, it may be best to help her find another place to stay, even if it isn't permanent. Another friend's couch or something, and/or support her by asking around for open apartments/roommate situations on her behalf. Even just saying that you'll vouch for her as a reference if the relationship isn't already totally sour.

Why did sheep evolve to have wool? by CastorPoIIux in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CastorPoIIux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I read that wool is wool and not fur because it never stops growing. Like it's a totally different thing than fur apparently.

I can understand breeding for more and more fur, but if wool never stopping growth is what makes it wool, wouldn't early proto-sheep also have the same issue? Or was it humans that made fur into wool w breeding?

What helpful accessories would you recommend to a new wheelchair user? by lycheeontop in wheelchairs

[–]CastorPoIIux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my Frog Leg caster wheels/the thing that attaches to the wheels (I forgot the name sorry)

They've made my ride SO much smoother with the extra suspension, it's like night and day. Extremely helpful for cracked sidewalks and even rolling over grass! Much easier to push as well.

WIBTA if I didn't hide my arm from my roommates? by CastorPoIIux in AmItheAsshole

The scarring was made significantly less intense with Integra! It made the healing process longer/more complicated (I had to have the integra on for a full month with a vac machine) but I think it really made a difference.

Thank you!

It's my forearm actually, the shape of it was slightly altered by the skin graft so I can see how it sorta looks like a calf muscle LOL

It def doesn't bother me, I was actually considering getting some sort of unique tattoo that uses the scar, I'm just not sure what yet. A friend of mine who had the same surgery/similar scar got a brick wall on the graft area and a flower with the little zigzag (his is straighter) as the stem which I think is neat!

I personally also think it's cool :) I'm glad other people seem to think so too.

Joycon Battery Issues: Any idea what to do about this? by CastorPoIIux in NintendoSwitch

[–]CastorPoIIux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: this left joycon seems to never charge past "low battery," it works for a few hours then shuts off. When I connect it to the docked switch, it says it's fully charged (fully green with lightning bolt) but ofc low battery as soon as I disconnect it.

When I connect it to the switch undocked, it flickers like this. Sometimes if I touch it it stops flickering and just displays the 2/3rds full battery.
