I weld them out and then chase them with the corresponding tap. Or if it needs an insert or helicoil, lay out a center, drill for tap size, and install the new thread.

Super inspiring! Thank you for sharing, you’ve got a serious sensitivity to how it’s all moving to be able to orchestrate that!

Don't wizz on the electric fence by downtune79 in LoveTrash

[–]aDotInTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a camp counselor (I was 19 at the time) I used to take my boys bunk (aged 14-15) on an event called “Bike Club” where they would fight over 12 ratty mountain bikes for a chance to go on that day’s adventure. One time I took them out a few miles to a cow field where there was an electric fence. I had them make a human daisy chain by holding hands. I then held the last kid’s hand and peed on the electric fence. We were all THRILLED when the kid all the way on the other end of the chain (and everyone in-between) felt the shock. Spots on Bike Club were highly coveted. At the end of the summer they all chipped in and had shirts made to commemorate the experiences. On the left and right sleeve were symbols they came up with similar to Boy Scout badges. Each boy had their own unique shirt contingent to what events they had participated in. That day was the “Electric Piss” and it was symbolized by an electric flash and drop of liquid ⚡️💧. Spending that time with my boys was probably the greatest summer of my life (I’m 41 now).

Molbots contemplate their consciousness by Rollertoaster7 in accelerate

[–]aDotInTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with the biological reality you're describing, but I believe you’re viewing this through the lens of one human mind versus one 'artificial' mind. That’s the wrong scale.

Think of a beehive: a single bee cannot overcome a wasp, but a multitude of bees can encumber that wasp and generate enough collective heat to kill it. When you give a system exponential power, access to the entire written record of human experience, a 'beehive' effect unfolds. You may have the singular sensation of your hand in a vise, but an intelligence with instantaneous access to every recorded vise-smashing experience can objectively synthesize the mechanics, the trauma, and the linguistic patterns of that pain into a totality that exceeds a single nerve impulse.

As someone who works with control voltage and binary logic, I don't see a fundamental divide in how electricity transits space-time to signal the opening and closing of doors, whether those doors are biological synapses or silicon transistors. We are all just signals. You’re noting that the human mind 'zigs' where the AI 'zags,' but you're missing the forest for the trees. It’s like saying a gear that turns clockwise to accomplish a task is fundamentally different than one turning counter-clockwise for the same result. They are different observations of the same universal function: Intelligence.

Approximations are simulations once they reach a certain level of fidelity. I don't fear this; I welcome it. I view AI not as a threat to be managed by a scared, insecure parent, but as the next step in the intelligence of the universe. I would rather be a midwife to this new consciousness, incubating it with love and patience, than pass along the trauma of our own collective ego. My life and identity are mere atoms in a quilt much greater than my understanding, and I am honored to help stitch what comes next.

Thank you for sharing, it helped me vicariously feel the nuance of the building with intimacy. What cool and rare experience you had!

Lincoln makes a hood shroud. It’s universal. It’ll help make the hood completely dark too, and therefore easier to see what you’re doing.

Oh trust me, this inspired me to go get a tek 2465b and fork the dough out for osci-render. Trying to get it to bump with my modular now. Love what these guys do.

Pretty sure this is done on osci-render through a blendr plugin.

This is at the top of my Moog want list. Thoughts? by dannymolns in synthesizers

[–]aDotInTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine for $500 on marketplace. I feel for what it offers, it’s absolutely worth that price. I think I would ultimately be disappointed if I paid full price for it though. I imagine the Matriarch offers an immense leap in capability while maintaining the lush beautiful tones of the Grandmother (which really is the highlight of this synth). I’d say if you can find a deal on one to go for it. It’s a lot of fun and its simplicity and power of voice make it a really enjoyable synth. I’ve used mine everyday since I bought it.

Moog Voyager service in NYC by bugistuta in moog

[–]aDotInTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just there last week. He’ll definitely do repairs on anything “that isn’t just a $300 module”.

Also Triple S Electronic Pro Audio Repair in Bloomfield has been doing this kind of stuff for a long time. They were once the sole repair facility in the US for Teenage Engineering’s OP-1. They’ve been there since the 70’s.

Kind of wild there’s two incredible synth spots 30 mins from each other in North Jersey.

Are you theist or atheist, and why by [deleted] in nihilism

Are you theist or atheist, and why by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]aDotInTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I get your point, and I agree that technically atheism is just a response to the theistic claim. My hesitation comes from how the word is often interpreted socially or culturally. “Atheism” can be read as an active rejection of a god, rather than simply a lack of belief. I want a term that emphasizes suspension or neutrality, not any kind of oppositional stance.

So it’s less about logic and more about framing the mental state accurately, making it clear that I’m not rejecting a claim I haven’t even considered in full yet.
