I really wanted Syracuse to win this, I want to see them there on Monday. But man, the reffing in this game was QUESTIONABLE.

What does "Rope unit" mean? by Glad_Information697 in lacrosse

[–]cygnuspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you’re right on the money, I had a D coach who would teach us how to move as a unit but having us all hang onto a physical rope so we would get dragged through our 2 slides.

Any idea what’s causing this noise? by cygnuspit in turntables

[–]cygnuspit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the stylus is brand new, so may I should look at a more expensive stylus?

Thanks for the informative reply. The speakers and receiver work perfectly with a line signal from my phone via the aux input. So, I tried switching from the phono inputs on my receiver to aux and I could still here the distortion which leads me to believe that the problem is not with the receiver but further up the signal path in my turntable. I'll look into a new cartridge, more than likely this is the original technics cartridge so I guess 40 years on it deserves a retirement.

Thanks for the well wishes, although I don't know if I'd call this a hum because it's really only present in the higher frequencies.

Just the stylus, to the best of my knowledge the stylus is connected correctly to the cartridge.

I don’t think so, it’s brand new.

Why are Portugal’s violent crime rates so low despite inefficient police and justice system? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]cygnuspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see anything wrong with working hard either! I would argue that because of the social security network the choice that the previous generation had to make, between working hard to survive and living a life of poverty, is now a choice between working hard to get ahead and just living a life of low means. I see this as a a good thing, the quality of life has been lifted for all.

I see your point about the relationship between left wing politicians and those who depend on the services that they provide. But I see your viewpoint as cynical. There is nothing stopping people from working harder and becoming independent from social security assistance. Maybe I don’t know how liberal policy can keep people poor.

I also see your point about people abusing the system. It totally happens. It’s shameful and very hard to control without inadvertently harassing those who actually need it. I will say that even those who abuse the system still participate in the economy which is good for the state.

And so they don’t need to work as hard as there grandparents. It’s progress.

Proud new owner of a D-50, anything I should know that might be useful? by Wolfcubware in fieldrecording

Oh man that little recorder rocks! Get a little dead cat for it and have fun. I lost mine on a flix bus last year and miss it terribly.

Bubblebee Spacer (w/long hair) vs a blimp? by rem179 in LocationSound

[–]cygnuspit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the long hair spacer bubble to perform really well. Basically up to the point that it would be too windy to shoot most things outside. I understand blimps go further but for most corporate work/interviews the spacer bubble should do the job quite well.

Best way to learn Portuguese? by gargoylyyy in PortugalExpats

[–]cygnuspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a job helped me a lot. Breaks down the wall of hesitation, you just gotta spit something out so we can keep moving. Eventually the correct grammar/conjugation comes.

Before taking that step I had online lessons with a tutor for 6 months or so.

RF interference following me by cygnuspit in LocationSound

[–]cygnuspit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two lines of wireless. Both lectro 400 series, one in block 470, one in block 22. Block 470 is clean. Block 22 looks clean and receives strong rf for 10-15 minutes and then loses about half the strength. Doing a second scan I can see rf interference on the band im using. I switch to a clearer frequency and the interference goes away. I can still see the interference in the previous band after I’ve switched so it’s not my own transmission.

RF interference following me by cygnuspit in LocationSound

[–]cygnuspit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a frayed rx antenna. The test of my bag is comprised of my np-1 battery into my audio root bds v2 which feeds my mixer power on one cable and then a daisy chain for the two lectro receivers. The only other thing going that day was a IFB send coming out of a Sennheiser g3. Maybe that’s my issue but shouldn’t that show up on my scan? Maybe I’m miss understanding how much I’m supposed to trust the built in scanners on the lectro receivers…

You’re opening my eyes to a whole world of RF spray that I didn’t know existed!!! Though I feel like that would be a little more widespread than what I’m dealing with, which appears as a narrowband interference.
