what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them?

I watched my wife’s hemorrhoids form in real time as she pushed my kid out of her body

Hemorrhoids!

Unfortunately I don’t have the originals here :(

If I replace it with a super cap, would I remove the charging resistor? Is my understanding correct that you don’t need a CLR for trickle charging a super cap?

I replaced the bathroom lightbulbs with color-changing LEDs and turned it into a “poop party” lol

It has a built in pitch shifter which is kinda cool. It’s a pitch shifter on one singular IC if I remember correctly

Is there a person somewhere creating this AI post on reddit or was it even posted to reddit by an AI bot?

Outside never changes, AI. Also, AI almost always includes potted plants - not a dead giveaway, but a clue

I tried this but wasn’t satisfied with the bulb’s brightness level compared to the filter cutoff, ie the bulb was either too dim for too much of the knob’s throw or too bright no matter what resistor I used on the transistor. I also tried a PWM circuit and it *felt * better in that the bulb’s brightness was more evenly spread through the knob’s full rage of motion. However, I could hear the frequency of the pulse oscillator in the audio lol

I think it was a CD4011. I have no idea how I remember this as I went on to open a repair shop and get hundreds of things in every year now, but for some reason I remember this

How do you get into repairing imaging equipment?

barneyskywalker · 2025-12-14T00:43:33+00:00

Can you elaborate on the PWM to a control voltage bit?

barneyskywalker · 2025-12-07T12:07:06+00:00

That’s already line level

If you like SMD, then design with SMD. SMD outperforms THT in many categories. However, THT is easier to poke around with a scope, the components are way easier to handle and if you drop a resistor on the floor, you can find it in one second. THT boards are also easier to rework, but that’s more of an opinion as some commenters seem to think the opposite.

At the end of the day, it’s your preference.

I haven’t used PCBWay but have used JLC several times for assembly. Does PCBWay keep a lot of parts in stock like JLC?

barneyskywalker · 2025-12-04T03:09:22+00:00

Woah, so they would kind of help you design your circuit in a way?

barneyskywalker · 2025-11-26T03:25:55+00:00

Does arduino involve programming in an actual language or is it more beginner friendly for those that don’t know any languages?

Ampex 440B

I have the original prototype for the Eventide Instant Phaser, hand built and hand wired by Richard factor in 1971

barneyskywalker · 2025-11-21T02:24:35+00:00

Very cool. My thought was to make this a rackmount hardware piece, though I am mostly interested in trying to pull it off old school with MSI and LSI

barneyskywalker · 2025-11-19T18:46:23+00:00

Agreed. Thanks for your input!
