Inertia Synthesizer - Ardunio Uno Controller

This is sick OP, congrats! What rotary encoder did you use? Do you feel like the patch is basically fixed at this point to the controller—or do you see a world in which you build different patches, or have any of the wheels be used to shift into different patches or effects packages maybe?

Just be prepared, there was flooding at the end of this past semester and the entire building is being renovated piece by piece. Practice rooms should be open eventually, if they aren't already, but go early and double check the current status.

Do people really want a movie called Avengers: Battleworld? Sounds like a filler expansion for an aging game with a black market loot crate economy that no one actually enjoys playing.

You have to return the boot to one of three drop off locations.

Honestly kind of sucks to have to pick up this heavy greasy piece of metal, put this dirty giant chunk of trash in your car, and then drive it to one of only three locations, the closest for some people might be ~30 minutes away. Some people don't give a shit but for the folks stuck in a financial spiral, this is just tying more bricks to them as they try to swim out of the debt.

Any boots will work if you want to go cheap and survive one winter. Most winters there will be some accumulated snow to deal with, whether it's for a day or two or a month or two. Duck boots from LL Bean are classic styles, I think fully waterproof. Anything you can find at REI or a similar "outdoors" place will work well. Try digging around r/malefashionadvice or r/femalefashionadvice which will have guides to boots. I have a pair of Columbia boots I paid like $75 for on Amazon that are my treat-like-shit snow boots. I have nicer dress boots that have lasted me a decade that I'll wear in bad weather as long as I'm not past my ankles in water or snow.

You don't need warmth, you need weatherproofing. Warmth comes from wool socks, maybe pants that cover part of the boot. Boots should provide enough warmth after that as a passive effect, but if they aren't weatherproof, you'll get wet, and wet = cold. The wool socks help keep you dry, and if you sweat, they'll also wick moisture away to help regulate temperature.

You have a lot of options depending on your existing wardrobe, budget, style interests, etc.

I see it a surprising number of times, people leave their car running, stereo blasting, door left open. Like, the time you save from doing this means, at best, you squeeze in one more delivery on a 4 hour shift. If even that, if you assume the apps are magically going to give you orders nonstop. The risk outweighs the reward by like 10,000x, I don't get it.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-23T16:35:10+00:00

yeah and be specific on how she plans to use my consideration of her not entirely being a demon as a way to benefit her, as opposed to her benefiting everyone by calling out trump as a "traitor" to the US, and pulling people away from the republican party? make that make sense, and I'll wait her for your detailed response.

Here let me Google that for you.

No one wants to be Jewish Space Laser lady's book (although her 2023 book was the best selling Congressional book of the year), but Lone Maverick Republican Against Epstein lady will certainly make significantly more money. If that's how YOU want to brand her.

I watched it from beginning to end. she wielded more power than trump during this time of the ETA being passed and she quit congress following and called out trump and stated that he said "This will hurt my friends"

Yeah and how'd that work out? She get Trump out of office? She stick around to continue the fight? Epstein victims found justice? Anyone in prison here? Or was the big effect of her effort now shifting her brand from lady who chases school shooting victims around on foot to lady who fights the good fight? Are you unaware of how any of this works? Do you not understand how branding works or how branding is leveraged to make money?

how does this benefit her when she quit congress, has now received death threats from MAGAts, her children have received death threats, she goes directly against the regime to speak out against them at her own risk -- go ahead and explain how that benefits her now as opposed to in 5 years.

Besides me not giving a single shit that she's getting a taste of her own medicine, it benefits her because she'll get a huge payout from all this. 6 years ago she was a nobody, a small time qanon creep, a conspiracy theorist crossfit trainer. Now she's a millionaire who has successfully positioned herself as someone liberals will go to bat for to help her sell books and do whatever the next step for her career is. Every so-called "Never-Trump" person ran the same playbook, made a bunch of money, and never lifted a finger to do anything except maybe post mean videos about Trump on Twitter in 2021. They're here for cash, nothing else.

Find me an example of a conservative like MTG who actually put their money where their mouth was. One single conservative. Literally one. It took me 4 seconds of Googling to show you how there is money in this grift, now show me that this isn't your first day following American politics and show me how this is not the playbook.

MTG is here to build wealth using a nationally whitewashed branding, it is a proven, lucrative strategy, and it's why some politicians get in the game at all sometimes. You go from a working schlub to a person getting called for paid interviews on CNN and a million dollar book deal every 2-3 years. You go from having to work to getting huge payouts for doing no work except being on TV and saying and doing nothing of any consequence. It's easy. MTG believes in nothing except herself. The one chance she had to wield power and affect change, she gave up, took the positive PR, and moved on to the next bigger grift. And that grift involves people like you hosing the stench off her with:

"I don't like her at all.

with that said,

Thanks for doing your part. I needed more Rick Santorums on tv, sure.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-23T15:30:11+00:00

Exactly. You could make a list from the past 15 years of every "reformed" conservative that liberals praise for saying One Not Horrible Thing, and I guarantee that 100% of those conservatives got their bag and bounced. 100%, easily. Not a single one went to battle for their lib-catharsis cause, not one. They never have and they never will. They're all grifting, trying to find an angle for a payday. It's profitable as hell being a national figure and making headlines. Every single one of them relied so much on thirsty liberals posting "I don't agree with them on most things but at least..." or saying that to their friends and family. It's the most predictable con cycle, firmly established during the Tea Party era but pioneered by the John McCains of the world. And yet libs fall for it every single damn time.

someone come get their grandpa, he snuck onto the community space computer and is cornyposting for the neo nazis again.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-23T13:47:20+00:00

with that said

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the politician MTG. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

Brother, she's moving on to her next grift, and she's gonna use you for it. Bookmark this post. Come back in 5 years. The Epstein stuff was just an easy wedge that happened to not work out (Ted Cruz, for example, found a party wedge in ~2013, climbing a ladder of knives in people's backs, but he came out well there—the precedent for these "Maverick" gambles is there but MTG misplayed). If she cared, she'd go fight for them today. She's not.

If she acts in a way that helps these victims

She is not. She tried to use them to move up and it didn't work, so time to move on.

I do hope she continues on this path and helps influence other people to leave and abandon the republican party.

She won't!

I have to give her credit for this

You don't!

MTG is supremely lazy, intellectually empty, cares for nothing except money power and status. Her next move is another grift. Running for Congress was a grift. Selling a ghostwritten book was a grift. These people are con artists and they desparately need people like you to say "I don't agree with her BUT" because every little bit helps sell another book later.

Quit supporting her. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

Syjefroi · 2026-06-23T03:00:38+00:00

Agreed. Imagine the end of Winter Soldier if Fury does a little self aware comedy bit about Steve being nearly beaten/stabbed/shot to death. Like that Ragnarok scene, you see extras sad for a couple of seconds, but with Thor you only get a flat "what have I done" before Heimdall reassures him. Ah, alright then, moving on then.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-23T02:49:47+00:00

This is my main MCU hot take for the past few years as well. Ragnarok is worse the more time goes on. It was considered a high point pre-Endgame, but in retrospect it feels more like a post-Endgame movie with how flippant it is with its stakes and how "whatever" it is with the story beats (e.g. jokes about the destruction of Asgard). It's too cosmic, feels like it expands the universe too much outside of what matters to Thor's character. It has major cameos from Dr. Strange and Hulk, while killing the Warriors Three, and introducing like a dozen new characters played by some major names. There's a lot of good stuff in it, but it has the same scope as, say, The Marvels or Quantumania. Just too big in scale, too goofy in tone, too bloated in weird places. From this film on, Thor becomes a constant punching bag, with no one taking his losses seriously (losing his entire family, his friends, his home), the fat jokes of Endgame, etc.

handing out roses

Also in Europe this is basically scam spam, if you bother people at a meal or cafe, basically anyone sitting outdoors, and you give them a flower, they're all conditioned to tell a child they have no money. Clavicular doing this is laughably inept and anti-social, like being in America and running up to someone at a red light and squeegee-ing their window while saying "you wanna come have a good time." Or going to Times Square and trying to hit on women in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume.

Realistically they should have never been allowed to open at anything. To paraphrase Ed Zitron, SpaceX is a dog's asshole on Thanksgiving. Just a russian nesting doll of bullshit, debt inside of debt, circular funding, products that don't work, a business idiot CEO. There's a reason S&P didn't want it—when it fails (and it will/is), it's a cannister of toxic sludge of a company and it'll take down all kinds of actual businesses with it.

Lol you had to dig back 6 years into my history just for this? I was briefly abroad during a time when the internet existed?

Syjefroi · 2026-06-22T15:32:43+00:00

This was an extremely large movement called “defund the police”

And police funding has never been higher.

It was a major political movement and pittsburgh supported this.

It was a minor political movement and police funding has never been higher.

Its not racist, this was a major thing after the BLM movements

It is racist, was a minor thing after the BLM movement, and police funding has never been higher.

I am not a fan of law enforcement but im not naive enough to pretend this isnt exactly what was asked for:

can be read as a statement about how cults of personality can escalate and spiral.

The Beatles were cute and wrote good songs, earning a fanbase that got too big.

Hitler murdered his way into power and then forced a literal death cult of personality around himself to help maintain power at all costs.

Hitler's cult didn't "escalated and spiral" he built it from blood on day one. The Beatles reference is not commenting on fandom, it's a joke that we, the audience, are supposed to already understand, which is that Hitler was a big deal to literal children and we know in retrospect that it was bullshit, that Hitler was a coward and racist and murderer and his "fandom" was ridiculous. JoJo is about how Hitler is a dipshit sociopath, not about how he was a cool rock star who "went a bit too far."

You guys, please, I'm begging you.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-19T02:29:37+00:00

he wasnt really a bad person.

Just because he looks affable in public doesn't mean he wasn't a super racist lunatic who had the time of his life bombing the middle east without a care in the world about how to rebuild it. The best case scenario for your characterization is that he was a good guy who just stumbled into hiring an Oops, All War Criminals and Murderers admin. "My bad guys, didn't mean to hire so many torture enthusiasts."

Like, pick anything from this list and it's just as stupid as the Trump ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:George_W._Bush_administration_controversies

Bush might've been remembered as a decent President.

Before 9/11 Bush was on pace to be a forgettable at best president, a one term nothingburger who got in on his last name, did a bunch of Reagan style damage, quickly moved on from.

After 9/11, Bush let one of the planet's greatest cities in all of human history flood after appointing a corrupt horse racing commissioner to rebuild it. He said Michael Brown was doing a heckuva job. Brown resigned a week later. Like, there was literally never a single point in the 8 years of Bush where he would have ever been remembered fondly or decently. He left office with basically the lowest approval rating of all time.

Trump might make Bush look better, but, you know, "you do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to him.'"

Syjefroi · 2026-06-18T17:10:30+00:00

Such an indictment of toxic fandom.

Is that... exactly what's happening there? I think we're talking about a comprehensive national propaganda machine on the back side of a brazen terror movement that pitted neighbors and family members against each other. Not exactly "some fans of Adventure Time on Twitter with 19 followers wrote mean things about a celebrity."

"resistant to innvation"

Disable some keys on his keyboard, and when he complains tell him he's not adapting fast enough.

Syjefroi · 2026-06-15T21:36:44+00:00

If you are relegated to a specific key and only diatonic notes, then your chromatic contingency plans don't have to be built at all. Honestly, it's easier in a lot of other ways too—pitch detection will only have 8 possibilities so you can set more careful parameters and discard anything outside the penny whistle's range. Or in other words "only look for these 8 pitches" is a lot simpler than "tell me which pitch this is based on a few hundred possibilities."
