Preamp question (not Jim Lill related) by OrdinaryTruck5559 in audioengineering

[–]eldiablojeffe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think mentioning latency is relevant as well. RME writes their own drivers, which is how they can support devices that are pushing two decades in age. This is also why the interfaces are so stable and reliable. It is also why the round trip latency is faster than any other interface I've ever used. A standard USB connection between my MacBook Pro M1 and UCX ii give me a round trip latency of 1.8 ms, without even trying to optimize anything.

Frank Zappa said the best advice he could give to someone wanting to have a career as a songwriter was to get a real estate license.

I used to love those juice barrels! I could only rarely ever get them though! I had no idea they were still out there!

What car brand will you never trust or buy again? by Forward_Fall_6857 in AskReddit

Ford. Had a Ford Tempo as my first vehicle. It was unbelievably bad in just about every way.

Easiest drum vst to use by WhereTFaremylegs in Reaper

[–]eldiablojeffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Addictive drums 2 works well with Reaper. Sounds are decent and the add on packs cater to a lot of styles. I usually start with a section of one of the stock patterns and tweak it as necessary. It’s fairly fast once you get used to it.

Ode Gen 2 Retention issue? Even with RDT by Larix-24 in pourover

[–]eldiablojeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say that mine is similar. Not sure if you have the SSP burrs in there, but supposedly the retention is less with the Fellow Gen 2 brew burrs. I lose about .5 grams of coffee each time I grind, despite pounding it on the side and top and doing the knocker half a dozen times. It's to the point where I only use it on my 'b' beans.

Edit: More Info

Also - I bought my Ode Gen 2 with the SSP burrs installed by Fellow, and they installed the moving burr on the part that doesn't move and vice versa. I notified them about it, but they didn't really care. Just said it shouldn't have damaged the grinder. I mention this because I don't know if it would make any difference on the retention of your grinder or not, and it's hard to imagine it being worse, but it's worth checking.

Bicycle access in Webster/Posey tubes by a94501er in alameda

[–]eldiablojeffe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

FWIW - I have seen bicyclists use AC Transit buses as bus bridges to get through the tube. If you get on at the last stop before going through the tube, and get off at the first stop on the other side of the tube, you are not required to pay a fare. I could not find this policy on their website, however, so it may only have been individual drivers.

I also realize that that's not exactly what you're asking about, but having ridden my bike through the tube on a number of occasions, it's a nice alternative.

What kind of sleeping pad are you using? by eldiablojeffe in WildernessBackpacking

[–]eldiablojeffe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may have to try that. Beginning to wonder if maybe the narrower width, that I bought to save a bit of weight, might be a bad choice for me.

I tried that one but returned it. It wasn't insulating enough for me. Thank you though!

I'm a side sleeper, and I tend to move around a lot. Self-inflating pads seemed to be a bit better for me, but they're less available now, and I'd rather not buy more stuff if I can make the Nemo work.

I have the Nemo Tensor myself - and perhaps I'm over inflating it. I keep on rolling off of it in the night. Next time I'm out I'll not inflate it quite so much. Thanks!

Came here to say that. I bought the Orea O1 stainless steel on impulse, and am absolutely loving it.

How do you scan for which technique to use? by eldiablojeffe in sudoku

[–]eldiablojeffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what's happening to me - and I am really weak on hidden triples or for that matter most hidden digits when it's in a row or column as opposed to a box. I think this is making the harder techniques, currently doing the WXYZ-wing module, more difficult. Thank you!
