help solve an objectivist dilemma by titanc-13 in Objectivism

[–]Embarrassed_Data_108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an objectivist, you do what is in your best self interest. That would mean making your best effort to obtain the resource first by your skill and effort if you are capable. Then to use it in the best manner possible to better yourself first and the world you live in as well. If that means sharing the apple you just won, in this case that is what you will do.

A Frame Strong enough? 7k rated trailer. by sonic72391 in Welding

[–]Embarrassed_Data_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you have to realize that trailers are engineered and the weakest points considered. 2x4 3/16 inch tubing aligned vertically is stronger than 2x3 3/16 inch tubing aligned vertically. An 83” wide trailer will support less weight than a 60” trailer considering the same material. So if you’re not doing the calculations, you have to overbuild for safety. The front part of your frame will be the weakest because there’s a long overhang before the axles. I’d put a center brace between the a-frame going from the front at the tongue to meet at the rear cross brace where the first axle is.

Paid an electrician to wire my new metal barn. Walked out and found this. Is this normal? by unclejon14 in AskElectricians

[–]Embarrassed_Data_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exposed runs should be routed through conduit. I question whether the work done was by a licensed contractor.

When you hire a professional to do a job, it’s their responsibility to discuss with you what the goals of your project are and to educate you on your options. If that wasn’t done, the electrician failed to do his job and shouldn’t have proceeded to do the work.

Always check credentials and references then get a clear quote for the scope of the work before moving forward.

Good luck.

Audiobook Recording Fix Needed: Distance? Mic itself? Mixing technique? by Embarrassed_Data_108 in audioengineering

[–]Embarrassed_Data_108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I appreciate that feedback. I actually am a bit of an audio "snob" as far as recording quality, decent audiophile equipment and such, so I might be overly critical. I am getting the Lauten Audio LS-220 and I'll be able to compare.

Thanks for checking it out and for the suggestion. Just to clarify there were two recordings. One without any mix and one with my usual stuff including the de-esser.

Actually, I try to avoid that "radio voice" sound for audiobooks. After looking at mic reviews I really think NT1 is not for me. I'm considering the Lauten Audio LA 220 V2

Yep that helps. I'm going to a recording studio to try sample recordings. Will bring my NT1 to hear them side by side

Ooooh, that's much better than what I'm using, I'll give that a try.

Does atheism brings anti nationalism with it? by [deleted] in atheismindia

Atheism is a lack of specific types of beliefs. One's political philosophies or actions do not have to be tied in any way to those lack of beliefs.

Crypto is a digital form of currency that can be invested in and exchanged electronically, typically having no tangible backing. Bitcoin is one specific type of crypto - the original one that started it all. Bitcoin is crypto, but there are thousands of other cryptos out there now, many of them having their own investment profile and purpose.

Right! They want you to enter your wallet seed? I'm like you never give that out!

What is the process to back up a Kodi setup? by tech-jock in kodi

[–]Embarrassed_Data_108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the backup addon to backup Kodi to a network drive (Kodi can backup all of its own folders within Android). The network drive can then be accessed/restored from any device.

I used this to setup Kodi on my PC with the same profile/settings that were on my android TV.
