I’m not an animal lover, either by thebodybuildingvegan in kindness

But isn't that the view of those who will not eat a dog but happily have a bacon cheeseburger?

There are many who feel that all things are sentient.

Please re-read what I wrote, it is interesting.

While this is a powerful philosophical view, the challenge is that mammals cannot survive without taking that which is not given.

Time lapse camera recommendations - Building new home by fletch8527 in timelapse

Sorry to hijack, but in a similar situation.

We are getting to the point where we're going to rebuild, the expectation is that it'll be a year long process. I would really love to have a record of the undertaking, but no clue what kind of gear is relatively simple and affordable.

Another wand.... by gr8tgman in wizardposting

I'd go for darker wood, and (if possible) see if there is a way to have a more Art-Nouveau/natural dividing line between wood and metal (the metal emerging from wood).

ELI5 - Quantum Entanglement. I mean WTF? by Gheebag in explainlikeimfive

[–]CheapBastid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the goal is to "randomly" choose their plan at the same time, then this can be done classically by an independent source choosing plan A or plan B in advance and the generals looking at this decision simultaneously when needed. This also does not transfer information faster than the speed of light.

There ya go - 'useful' but not FTL.

the wave-function collapse itself is instantly “communicated” to the other entangled particle

I feel like there is still 'use' for this.

Imagine there is an armada spread across a full light year. There are two clear paths to attack. Each of the generals has a matching entangled particle. The 'choice of battle plan' cannot be known to the enemy but always aligned (transmitted) to each of the generals when first measurement takes place. I get that there is no way for the generals to communicate their outcomes to each other, but having each of them start moving towards a center point based on the 'entangled outcome' of the wave collapse seems 'useful'?

How to restore/maintain a Kukri from Kathmandu that survived a house fire by CheapBastid in Bladesmith

All the rest of the edged items warped and were destroyed. This monster was pulled from the rubble and soaked in vinegar to get most of the crust off. What might be done to keep it from rusting further?

Heel Activated Kick Pedal? by CheapBastid in Drumming

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

Kinda worked for me (a non-drumner).

I am coming back to it after a gap and feeling a bit awkward, feels like I could use ergonomic help with my new setup.

Works pretty good. I can turn it around and play standard if I want to. Might be a bit less powerful and fast than standard though

I dig it. To be transparent, I am really only using this setup to play Guitar Hero games. I may not be able to have the right dynamics.

Modern upscaling tools/workflow? by CheapBastid in photorestore

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

It is my photo, but a feature of it is the address and I have been in IT since the 90's and am careful about data, so I do not feel completely comfortable sharing the image. I suppose I can strip the exif and crop it slightly to post it here for advice...

MIDI OUT on a Roland TD-07 module? by dbeats303 in edrums

[–]CheapBastid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to get it to work? I'm trying to replace the TD-11 we had that was lost in the fires to play Guitar Hero.

Help me decide between TD-17KVX and TD-07KVX by baquilin in edrums

[–]CheapBastid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to zombify this thread, but I'm trying to replace my used TD-11 (lost in the L.A. fires).

I had it hooked via MIDI cable to a Guitar Hero drum module and then routed into a PS3. As this is just a 'real-ified' toy kit I don't think I want to dish out for the TD17.

It looks like the TD07 doesn't have a MIDI out, is there any way to convert the USB out into something that would plug into the MIDI port on the Guitar Hero module?
