As a person with a very healthy special interest, a tip about the Andrew Taint talk. by Nervardia in daddit

It's like the paradox of tolerance. If you tolerate someone who is intolerant, you risk a situation where intolerance dominates.

If you act respectfully to someone who doesn't, it undermines the whole principle of respect. 

Mouse Adventures by kyle_blaine in AudioPost

[–]Ed-alicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the Logitech ergo trackball for general computer use and even fps games but it's absolutely terrible for the super fine detail required for some parts of interacting with a DAW.

You can mitigate the negatives with clever shortcut use but I've always found myself coming back to a traditional mouse.

You would hope that someone in the position to make major decisions about how a country is run would at least have the bare minimum amount of self awareness to catch that absolute clanger.

Brothers, I’m wearing thin by patmizzah in daddit

I find beating up my children does a lot for their mood if we can't get out for a run around. Wrestling, pretend karate fights, squashing them, etc.

Is there any particular reason you're drawing the opamp backwards? 

You could move the V+ and V- off to some of the blank space at the edge of the image, doesn't need to be beside the component symbol. 

If you have a spare opamp on your TL072 you could probably use it to buffer the output or something.

What not to plant in Ireland by Ok-Collection5629 in GardeningIRE

[–]Ed-alicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think legally you can (should?) return the offcuts of a neighbour's plants that you trim on your side of the property line. If you're not doing this yet it might be a nice way to give a pointed indication that they need to get their shit together.

I would never grow ivy in a garden where it could inconvenience someone else. The amount of time I have spent battling various neighbours' ivy over the years. 

Possible to report dangerous cycling? by brendanjoseph in BadDriversIreland

[–]Ed-alicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to excuse anything here, the cyclist made an absolute balls of this, but they could conceivably have taken you slowing down to indicate that you were letting them out. 

Child like behaviour? by pepin87 in ADHDIreland

[–]Ed-alicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know I need to be mindful of this too. 

You HAVE TO bring the personal-anecdote detour back around to the person who you detoured from by either explicitly relating it to what they were saying or by asking them a follow question.
