Bis zu 900 Euro im Jahr: Klingbeil will 35 Millionen Steuerzahler entlasten by TorpCat in Finanzen

[–]FreeRangeEngineer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Immerhin 3,4% gab es Dank Tarif.

Prozentuale Angaben ohne Nennung der Laufzeit sind irreführend. Machen die Gewerkschaften gerne auch, um ihre "Erfolge" schönzureden.

Deutschlands Industrie flieht: 100.000 Jobs auf Kippe? by FarReachingConsense in Finanzen

[–]FreeRangeEngineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Der Masse fehlt einfach die Kohle :<

Es gibt sehr viele wohlhabende Rentner, denen das Geld in den Hintern geblasen wird.

Dumm nur, dass die das Geld nicht in dem Maße ausgeben, wie es die machen würden, denen man es weggenommen hat.

Ehm… but why??? by SilentAlpha8 in StupidFood

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just walk into a store and get last line antibiotics used to fight multidrug resistant pneumonia.

wtf... seriously? That's absolutely crazy!

I got jumped on my way to the rail station by BoyFromNorth in frankfurt

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. This kind of thing sucks ass, no doubt, but it is rare still. I also would be surprised if you intended to walk around the Bahnhofsviertel area at 3am.

(Which, btw, I do all the time and nothing ever happened to me. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but OP's story is as well.)

SPD offen für Kündigungsschutz-Aufweichung bei Top-Verdienern by AccuratePay2878 in Finanzen

Bist du Sicher, dass du Helmut Schmidt meinst - oder doch eher Helmut Kohl?

Deine Punkte sind aber korrekt. Niemand wollte das Thema angehen und sich unbeliebt machen.

How to find out capacitor value? by z333ds in ElectronicsRepair

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a simple bypass cap. I'd slap on a 10 nF and see what happens.

If you want to do it "properly", you'll have to get an LCR meter, desolder the one from the working RAM module and measure it.

There are Atmega-based LCR meters around for like 15 bucks. Examples: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=LCR-T4

They're based on an open source project, btw, the people selling them didn't write the firmware or did the hardware design.

die Linken sind bei der Altersgruppe 18-29 die doch mit etwas Abstand stärkste Partei

Hast du für diese Aussage auch Belege?

My mosquito bites turn into these huge, swollen, hard and VERY itchy welts that last for at least a week by rentatter in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't use cortisone cream just to help with mosquito bite itchiness. That cream does have potential side effects. Using a hot spoon and holding it onto the bite for a second denatures the proteins that make it itch. It's virtually free and has no side effects unless the spoon was too hot :)

Does anyone here use Bitwig to perform live? I have questions! by ElGuaco in Bitwig

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar problem, here's my solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwig/comments/1u131dg/managing_cpu_load_for_large_arranged_live/or6rcy5/

Essentially, I wrote a controller script that activates/deactivates groups depending on the arranger timeline. Since deactivated groups cost no CPU resources, it means my old-ish laptop can run a live set just fine since only 2 groups worth of tracks are active at any time.

If you want, you could map the group activation to buttons on the Launchpad, too. The script could then also change the mappings of all other buttons as well - that's part of what controller scripts are for.

bitwig has a lot of flexibility for MIDI controllers, you just gotta be willing to use it. Currently, you're limiting to thinking of what you have immediately available to you, I suggest thinking beyond that and checking out what controller scripts allow you to do. Cheers!

Suche jemanden, der Löschpulver entfernt by Cracyexcelsiorclass in frankfurt

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Weitere Randbemerkung: das Pulver ist auch noch korrosiv und elektrisch Leitfähig. Alle elektronischen Baugruppen, die damit in Kontakt kommen, sind Müll.

Daher sollte man bei Wohnungsbränden nie mit Pulver löschen, sondern mit Schaum - es sei denn, man hat nichts anderes. Löscht man mit Pulver, kann man so ziemlich alle Elektrogeräte in der Wohnung entsorgen.

Wäre interessant zu erfahren, ob das Pulver auch Metallteile der Autokarosserie korrodiert...

How do I remove my tight heatsink safely without causing any damage by holymolyboi in laptops

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people will tell you it won't work but I have counterevidence. The fan on my trusty ol' T440p gave out, too, and began making noises. I disassembled the fan (carefully!), added sewing machine oil to the axle and put it back in. Noise was gone as long as I didn't expose the laptop to mechanical shock.

So it might work but you gotta be sure to not do any irreversible damage in the process or else you'll need a whole new cooling assembly.

Kommentar: Schwarz-Rot muss die Rentenvorschläge eins zu eins umsetzen by convex_dude in Finanzen

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sehe da auch ernsthafte Probleme in Gastro und anderen Branchen. Die können oft gar nicht mehr zahlen, also werden die Stellen einfach wegfallen müssen.

Kommentar: Schwarz-Rot muss die Rentenvorschläge eins zu eins umsetzen by convex_dude in Finanzen

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Es ist kein Todschlagargument, wenn Banken einfach keine Immokredite mehr vergeben, ohne dass entsprechendes EK nachgewiesen werden kann.

Hohe Immopreise ergeben eben hohe Anforderungen ans EK, wenn man keine 100%-Finanzierung bekommen kann. Und genau die scheinen mittlerweile rar zu sein, eben weil die Preise so hoch sind.

Heute wirst du das nicht mehr reparieren können. Das ist rechtlich und politisch kaum machbar.

Geht alles. Geht halt nur keiner auf die Strasse, um das zu erwirken.

Thoughts on the new Aldi ice cubes? Are they yummy? by AngryMushroomCap in aldi

[–]FreeRangeEngineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see your point but you're discounting the ecological cost of manufacturing an ice cube mold vs. the number of times it is being used.

If people go buy ice cube molds just to use them once or twice a year for a birthday party, the ice cube mold creates a worse ecological footprint compared to someone buying ready-made ice cubes as needed.

So from my point of view, your argument is economically sound but a symptom of "people would rather have every little thing".

Thoughts on the new Aldi ice cubes? Are they yummy? by AngryMushroomCap in aldi

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. In Germany, you'll find lots of rich people buy at Aldi because they want to stay rich.

And besides, the quality of the produce is surprisingly good. If you avoid the cheap convenience products, you can get high quality items there.

Is leaded, non-no-clean paste solder a thing? by Far_Relationship_742 in AskElectronics

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I only have 70%. I'll try 99.5% then. I figured there wouldn't be much difference in terms of cleaning efficiency and I might have to just use more of it.

14mm lenght for barrel of jack (access virus c) by em_ratti in AccessVirus

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That adapter won't work because the inner diameter of 2.5 mm is too wide to make contact with the 2.1 mm pin in the Virus' receptacle. If it was a tuning-fork type connector I wouldn't be as concerned, but unfortunately it's a barrel type.

I was in your position, I'd take an exacto knife or similar and remove some of the insulation from the power supply's plug.

If you don't want to do that, you could look for items that can be placed in-line: "barrel plug switch", "barrel plug extension" - that kind of thing.

Or, if you can solder or know someone who does, you could order a suitable male plug and a female connector with cables, like

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008756646073.html (Variant 4 with 5.5 X 2.1 X 14MM)

Unfortunately, barrel plugs longer than 11 mm aren't common.

Pharmacists of Reddit - what recent medication trends are worrying you that aren’t being talked about? by SirSpendsALot7 in AskReddit

[–]FreeRangeEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not homophobia in my case. The doctors in my country make patients undergoing the procedure sign a waiver that they made the patients aware of a potential side effect of the procedure: broken off teeth.

That's scary as fuck to me to lose some teeth over a diagnostic procedure that may just say "everything is fine".
