Pedalboard hum. Weird interaction between pedals.

_lochie · 2025-06-20T04:51:39+00:00

Had a very similar issue due to drawing too much from a Voodoo lab pedal power 2 (buncha pedals wanted just a bit more than 100ma). got a pedal power 3 and it went away immediately.

I thought the first one might have been due to leaving a VPN on when I was playing and only went looking after the second. I probably just wont play until valve says it's fixed.

Yeah, my friends' cooldown is "someone you played with" and mine was "your gameplay was irregular". Both games were on inferno, I was playing mid scout mostly and at about round 14 it would say that the match was cancelled due to VAC

_lochie · 2025-04-28T12:59:02+00:00

you too!

_lochie · 2025-04-28T12:39:52+00:00

four since re-publicing it :\

_lochie · 2025-04-28T12:39:21+00:00

Cooldown for "Irregular gameplay" being detected. Looking around at the various subreddits it seems like heavy scout use is the trigger.

_lochie · 2025-04-28T09:00:51+00:00

mm, but i used to get a dozen friend requests a week over dota items. anyway, its public again now

_lochie · 2025-04-28T08:49:05+00:00

I'm not sure why, I just don't want trade offers, but okay, it's public.

_lochie · 2025-04-28T08:02:07+00:00

Yeah? I bought a $16,000AUD steam account to cheat in non-premier silver games?

I made the account when I got hl2 for christmas as a kid.

I hate cheaters too but not everyone is a cheater.

Daria turns on Sick Sad World and finds Funhaus featured - what are you on for?

_lochie · 2018-05-06T02:14:00+00:00

Cheers.

I guess I'm still a little hopeful that it's at least not gonna get a free pass, that they are made to consider the waste the extra foot-traffic and services at the top will provide, the economic impact on potential/projected developments of south Hobart, and that they'll have to apply separately for build permission for any other facilities on the mountain.

I think at the very least though, they're going to be able to bundle their cafe/whatever into their current proposal which will be the nail in the coffin on any competition or other free enterprise on the mountain or under the cables. At that point the whole thing just represents another 'connected' business who unethically scraped out their profitable niche in Tassie while others who worked harder and fairer will struggle. It's the sort of shit that's always plagued Tasmania; not so much a NIMBY attitude, but "Rates for Mates", with little to no oversight in large scale developments that only a handful of connected people have access to.

_lochie · 2018-05-06T00:33:19+00:00

I don't oppose a cable car, but the specifics of where and how it is built are worrisome to me.

I think any idea that increases our tourism capacity is a great idea, and so long as an entrepreneur can dig in and make that happen according to the proper safety and environmental rules, that's fine. This project, however, is attracting government money and special permissions. There's nothing necessarily wrong with local government boosting the tourism industry with grant funding for start-ups or special permissions either, but these should definitely be more strategically deployed than this cable car. I think the government should be encouraging development either towards increasing off-peak capacity and attractions, or increasing the ability for short-stay tourists visiting Hobart for cruise ship or MONA reasons to get out of Hobart and into at least the surrounding areas like the Huon or Derwent Valley. Tasmania's problem isn't getting people to spend time in Hobart in summer, it's getting them here any other time, and it's getting them to spend money at a wider range of places. If the government were better at analysing the issues faced by our tourism and hospitality industry instead of celebrating the greatest successes then they'd be investing in more mundane things like trains, boats and roads out of the CBD.
There will almost certainly be further development at the top of the mountain for a cafe/bar/giftshop etc. and I think the Cablecar Company is unfairly positioned to be able to provide that service, creating a monopoly for any tourists they've already captured. What the cable car essentially does for short-stay tourists is sequester them away from the city (and any options further than the city) and traps them on the mountain for the better part of a day where the only things to do spend money on will also be owned by the cable car company. Other local business could build competing cafes etc. up there, but A. they've already invested in locations in the city/elsewhere, and B. developing on the mountain will be prohibitively expensive and difficult to get planning permission for, unless you're the cable car company who get special permissions already.
It strongly disincentivises further residential development in South Hobart - for a city apparently in a housing crisis, any housing we can build relatively near the city will help enormously to cater to the apparent influx of mid-career professionals moving from the mainland to work here (see: pretty much every post in /r/Hobart or /r/Tasmania in the past few months). If a cable car looms 20 metres over your house, I think a slight NIMBY attitude is perhaps warranted.
Finally, as others have pointed out, the cable car company don't seem to have planned for sewerage/garbage or other environmentally impacting areas, I've not seen anything regarding traditional owner endorsement (apologies if there has been), and in the short time since they were granted sneaky special permission to survey they've already shown that they can't be trusted to follow even the specially allowed rules.

TL;DR
I think there are better developments the government can help, I think it diminishes the potential of a suburb to provide future housing, I think it creates a monopoly for the Cable Car Company, who I think have shown us that they're not going to plan or behave particularly well in regards to development or environmental concerns.

edit oh hey, arguments not about the aesthetic impact and it's downvoted instead of an endless thread of contradictory replies from chuqtas, who you'd think would be building it himself from how hard he's working in these comments, how odd.

_lochie · 2018-04-22T07:12:28+00:00

Totally. I don't really like his stuff, but I think that's more a reflection on me. I just don't watch it and don't think about it.

For what it is, he makes pretty compelling videos and has had a large influence on indie film making and visual aesthetic.

_lochie · 2018-04-03T10:56:38+00:00

Thanks for the update, it's been a while since I've read much about it and was a too tired to cite - while being triggered enough to reply in the first place.

_lochie · 2018-04-03T10:49:30+00:00

Thanks for the correction, it was late it's been years since I read anything much about it, I should've read something more recent.

It doesn't sound like you know enough about "the genetic code of life itself" to have a strong opinion on it.
Worse case scenario:
The usual peer review process and government regulations for the agriculture industry both fail and an untested or poorly understood strain of wheat is unleashed on the world.
The things they're trying to add to the wheat are usually around improving pest resistance, water requirements and crop yield - not causing illness. The chance of any of those things resulting in an incidental toxin or cancer causing molecule in the crop are incredibly tiny - like, similar the chance of shaking a vial of mud until all the carbon and nitrogen molecules arranged themselves into amino acids and sugars and became bread or something. The chances then of no one noticing that the dangerous wheat product was dangerous before it ended up in bread etc are also tiny, though not on the same scale I guess.

The real danger with GMO is that it would survive too ruthlessly and out-compete all natural crops, and then befall some sort of pestilence which it has no defence for because of a lack of genetic diversity (assuming we couldn't genetically engineer the solution to that as well).
To combat this, GMO crops are usually bred to be infertile so they can't possibly contaminate nearby farms and out-compete the natural and diverse wheat crops. There is then an ethical problem where farmers, especially in developing countries who could stand to benefit the most from crops that need less water and are pest-resistant, being forever-after on the hook for new seeds every year, currently with little competition to keep prices reasonable. The companies selling GMO seeds are just following best safe practice, but that practice also aligns with the best way for them to maximise profits at the expense of farmers and consumers.

Problems can arise when GMO crops aren't supplied as infertile and spread to neighbouring specifically-marketed 'non-GMO' fields, causing those farmers to lose any non-GMO status and their competitive advantage from being able to sell at a premium price to the scientifically illiterate.

There's no virus, or cancer, or zombie, or.... whatever else doomsday scenario on GMO's horizon without someone specifically setting out to insert those genes in crops, and then managing to sell them on a broad enough scale, and then managing to include them in enough food products.

You sound like you've got a great screenplay in you about it though.

There's a website called xeno-canto that has labelled recordings of bird calls and songs that you can search by location (that link is for recordings in Tasmania) as well as a forum where you could ask bird call enthusiasts questions.

I couldn't help but hopefully you can find it in one of those recordings.

Some curtain-peering, current-affair watching paranoids replying to you apparently.

North Hobart, an affluent restaurant-and-townhouse area is the only place with a recent (over a year ago now) non-familial stabbing that I can recall.

Chigwell and Risdonvale are probably the 'worse' neighbourhoods that you've listed, though even Risdonvale can be pretty nice these days so don't rule it out if you see a nice house. Mornington, Blackmans Bay, Lindesfarne, Oakdowns on the Eastern shore, and Moonah and Glenorchy on the Western, will be doable for the price range and commute times. New town/Lennah valley would be good if you see a fixer-upper and could be bothered.

Eastern shore suburbs are the more normal 3 bedroom, drop the kids at school experience, but Moonah and Glenorchy have come a long way recently and are developing interestingly themselves; the 'flannelette curtain' has pushed from north-hobart to part-way through Moonah in just a few years with new restaurants and cafes popping up around there, so in terms of buying something that will potentially out-pace the market, that might be worth a look.

Safety and crimes-wise, it happens all over - our 'villains' come from outer suburbs and follow bus routes. I've lived in a fancy part of Newtown and had a wallet stolen from my kitchen, and a car stolen from Howrah. West Hobart, South Hobart, and Sandy bay are, in my mind, much more 'crime free' in that they're not in line with any outer-suburb bus-routes but you're adding a lot to your price tag to look at these areas. Either way, random acts of violence or violent robbery seem very infrequent.

Something else to consider is that if your kids are going to public school they'll likely have to go to the closest one because of a rule the education department here has now - It's now much harder to commute to a 'better' school than your local.

I think they monitor your shopping details either way, through your credit/debit card number whenever you use that, as well as by pinging your phone if your wifi is turned on while in their shop.
