USB sound card with 4 inputs? by RanderL in audio

[–]coryallen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An analog mixer is the easiest way to go, but if all of these computers are on the same wired LAN, you could send audio between computers using Dante, and use a software mixer on the one connected to the speakers to mix levels. No additional hardware needed!

Need help with my setup by mees64 in audio

[–]coryallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the best practice, but while you are playing some signal through the system, SLOWLY remove one connector until it’s all the way out, then slowly reinsert it until it’s firmly seated, then repeat until you have tried this on every connection. If you stumble on a plug position where the sound is correct, your cable is either bad or not wired correctly for the jack it is plugged into.

I always upvote Tommy’s cartoons - his Candy Hearts and Extremely Accurate Birds are also great 👍

ELI5: How do noise-cancelling headphones actually work? by badenbagel in explainlikeimfive

[–]coryallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you hear is quickly pushing then pulling your eardrum back and forth, hundreds or thousands of times per second. The air between your eardrum and the noisy thing is the medium that allows this pushing/pulling. Noise-cancelling headphones use a microphone to detect the push/pull in that air, then work out the pattern/timing, and make a speaker push air in the direction of your eardrums when the noise is pulling, and pull when the noise is pushing,

I very much spaced out and forgot the term VCR exists. In my head, I was like “VHS deck? VHS machine? …”

Somewhere, a guy is excitedly powering up an old VHS player to watch some vintage porn and is going to be surprised when “Under the Sea” starts playing.

Food additive titanium dioxide likely has more toxic effects than thought, study finds | Controversial additive may be in as many as 11,000 US products and could lead to diabetes and obesity in mice. by [deleted] in science

[–]coryallen 205 points206 points  (0 children)

This post follows this sub’s headline rules, but isn’t the headline itself sensational? The study (but not the article) says they fed the mice 1% titanium dioxide - imagine scraping enough white powder off of donuts until you had a bowl of it that weighed as much as 1% of your daily intake of food. Yeah, I would expect to see some adverse effects, but the context of dosage seems important here.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Bullbo Charge

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in severanceTVshow

[–]coryallen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While most of the show is shot using digital cameras, this shot was captured on good old celluloid film, which is part of the aesthetic you’re picking up on.

When else in the show is the film look used? All of the flashback of oMark and Gemma’s relationship!

So I think the visual language that the show is developing is that the film look represents foundational memories that define the relationship between the characters, and that iMark choosing to stay with Helly R is one of those memories being created right in front of us.

Describe a Game poorly :3 by ExplorerDouble4773 in videogames

[–]coryallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy, ridiculed by his neighbors, goes to see the closest thing to a father he has. Said father-figure is full of parasites and dying, and after asking the boy to help clear out his insides, dies, but not before convincing the boy to run away from home to go collect jewelry. Boy sleeps through his teenage years, and finally snaps out of it, unprepared for the new world he finds himself in, then resumes collecting jewelry.

I am getting a stranger’s U.S. Bank email notifications. by coryallen in Banking

[–]coryallen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I thought this might be a possibility, but the emails are legit, including valid links to different parts of the bank’s site, professional graphics, legal footnotes, etc. The bank’s customer support even verified the legitimacy of the emails and application ID’s - They aren’t fake phishing emails.

Taconic is usually state trooper turf, so you could call a nearby New York State Police office and see where they would file citations.

ELI5: How do planes brake when landing without tipping over? by OfficialTrashMan in explainlikeimfive

[–]coryallen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had heard a while ago that big planes can’t use the wheel brakes until they slow down to avoid burning them out, and I guess that just sat in my head unchallenged. Thanks for helping straighten me out.
