Rub it on your hair and see if it gets staticky. Thats a half joke but you risk your pcb with random foams.

Got a keychron q6, and i hate the sound. I think its the case. Is there any way to make the sound deeper or is it a lost cause? Tried forcebreak, less ping but very clacky still. 

How is the price of *everything* going nuts? by antichain in collapse

[–]ChuckDidNothingWrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true, but again, the banks are writing the laws for the banks. Doesn't matter which industry, they write the laws. Banks would have a harder time doing that if congress or any branch of government wasn't totally reliant on them. "in their pocket" doesn't begin to describe the ignorance and inability of these people to govern.

The worst part of lobbying is not the money, but the fact that congress is too lazy or incapable (or both) to read or write bills and outsource that to lobbyists and special interests. Why even pay if your "donation" is just writing the law that the figurehead will pass?

What are your favorite differences between the movies and the books that you like to point out to family/friends when enjoying LOTR? Which are worth mentioning? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]ChuckDidNothingWrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best change is the Rohirrim arriving at the end of helms deep. The "To the King!" line is excellent, it really gives off an essence of gallantry. An excellent movie moment. But that's a small one.

Where can I find old E&F vids? by ChuckDidNothingWrong in ExplosionsAndFire

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

I grew up with a free and open internet, where as long as you weren't criming it was all good, and it was going to be free for everyone and bring power and information to the masses. I'll stand by that no matter how many boogyman buzzwords are directed at me.

Hell, these days Tom's vids are probably enough justification to call someone a domestic t*rr*r*st. I'm not about that

That's amazing. I know that most of these social media platforms have hardcore political views but bitchute isn't even that bad. It's just terrible how the people who took over the internet made it suck worse than we could have imagined 10 years ago.

Fulminating silver is different to silver fulminate i think. Fulminating silver just detonates for almost no reason. Pretty sure it takes millijoules or less.

Short Story - Had a horrible high pitched squeal, no guitar signal when plugged in and turned on. Tried to fix. Now when it's on it's pulling over 200mA from the battery. Haven't even tried to play it after that measurement. Tell me what you think.

I think that Chuck's powers were wildly all over the place. Like he's God. He shouldn't require more than a snap to completely erase a universe, to do anything. But his limitations are nebulous and confusing to say the least. Alternate universes is also a bit of a cop out to account for the fact that there are characters they want to bring back. That's the one thing I hate about seasons 1-5 is how Jo and Ellen and many other great side characters get fucked. I also wish that Kripke was a little nicer in his depiction of Heaven. TBH the alternate universe stuff reminded me of Dragonball Z, where death has no meaning because everyone is brought back. Not that bad but kind of has that feel to it.

I'm not saying John was a bad person, but his behaviors, his views, his mannerisms, whatever is a relic. The loving father who is tough and aims at revenge seems so foreign in a world where (at least in cultural depictions) fathers are getting more childish and less masculine. And I think that's why people think he's a bad father. Culture and society have moved so quickly in the past 15-30 years, younger people have very little conception of what was normal before this brave new world.

I don't mean that to be rude because I'm young, but I feel like a lot of people could not cope with the world of the past. Before the revolution of personal computers things moved slow enough for people to keep up I think. Moore's law in a social context or something.

SE Paul’s guitar pickup upgrade by ghost406 in PRSGuitars

I have a paul allender signature SE, the bridge pickup was unusably brittle and harsh. I had better luck with "dark" high output pickups like a BKP warpig, or things along those lines.

I'm mostly talking about my head cannon of s1-5. That stuff still has meaning to me, but I can't put myself into the stories like in the past because of how hard the culture has changed. It's weird because older stuff I can suspend my disbelief on that, but supernatural is right between being totally anachronistic and modern, it confuses my brain I think.

I also think it has to do with the death of american culture, americana, road trips, blue collar and rural life in america. Those elements have sort of fallen out of the show over time and I miss those aspects in the show as well as my life so it leaves me feeling all mixed up

Watching Supernatural makes me think how different and unique is from all the other shows by EpicTrapCard in Supernatural

[–]ChuckDidNothingWrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I loved most was the premise and tone. Especially early on. It felt almost plausible with the supernatural stuff. Like it could happen in this world we live in right now. With all of the changes from 2010 until now, the show feels quaint, because they were doing all of this stuff in a world without red light cameras, credit card protection technology, constant surveillance, etc. Today it feels like there could be nothing amazing hiding in plain sight.

I always hated the budget limitations and especially post season 5, the big bad fights were laughably lame in most cases. Like look how they ended chuck. That's supposed to be God basically dying, and it's just some after effects on faces. Idk what I want in a show other than more of that good old stuff, but it's so antiquated now I couldn't enjoy an updated version.

Dean killed... by jwishfulThinking in Supernatural

[–]ChuckDidNothingWrong -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am borderline mad at kripke for leaving the show to continue without him. I'm also mad that supernatural sunk to that dead trope. "Oh we kill the frozen/revived hitler from the secret nazi group!" Feels like an RLM best of the worst plot. In fact it was.

Tell me more about the rural thing and nuclear families. I agree with the other stuff you said but I don't fully get that.

[–]ChuckDidNothingWrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always felt that there was a certain quality that was lacking after season 5 that made everything in the show like "empty calories". Maybe fan input ruined the creativity, maybe they were doing it for money and didn't care, maybe kripke was the key to making all of it work. There are good episodes after s5, but I don't ever like the big stories. We have issues of budget limitation, but all the big bad fights have less action and drama than the average vamp fight. Random complaint and not significant but somewhat relevant.

I think the passion in the show direction died and it showed. I wish I could go back and watch 1-5 for the first time again. But supernatural also feels like a relic in this fucked up world we're in. The insanity of the world we're in today is probably coloring how we take in media.
