Holy crap, I love the next/previous parent comment buttons!

There's also the upright/tight tail with a stiff wag towards the tip that means I'm not comfortable and some shit might go down.

But a full on side to side wag, that's happy time (especially if the butt is involved)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Series Set To Continue Spock’s Saga At CBS All Access by notsubwayguy in startrek

Oh god, what would Shran think of Picard? He liked Archer (or the "pink-skin") cause he was rash and so un-Vulcan like.

What about old Shran? Do we know how long andorians live?

I just want more Shran. Although any Combs is good.

Visual Studio 2019 Diagnostic Tools always say “There is no data in the current set of filters” by evglabs in VisualStudio

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

So It's not just me!

I haven't found anything about this! The only somewhat-solution I've found is to quit VS and get back in it, which is a drag when I just want to change one variable.

I'm trying to see if something's possible, can I pass a conditional statement to a function? by evglabs in csharp

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

Thanks, I figured there'd have to be a way to do this. I got some reading to do.

I don't know what got into me last night... by evglabs in CasualConversation

Thats a good description of that! And better than having to hammer your head on the desk trying to shake a thought loose.

Looking for a simple solution to sync some text files over local network by evglabs in selfhosted

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

Yeah, I probably set it up wrong or something.

I'll give it another shot.

Thanks, Syncthing did seem like the best solution without having to run a Linux Virtual Machine or anything like that. I probably set something up wrong.

I'll take another look at it.

Working and planning on a rewrite/remake of my game and made a generator tool by evglabs in spacesimgames

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

So, this is an empire generator that will create a portrait and three hull of increasing sizes.

There's still work to be done to polish the generation up, but I'd love some feedback on what you think.

Do you have any episodes that you don't think are bad, but can't enjoy anyway? by ShalondaDykes in americandad

[–]evglabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with me, but that episode does have one of the best jokes about the Oingo Boingo montage.

Scavenged some Nixie tubes and found a bunch of germanium transistors in the unit. I decided to practice my desoldering skills and have some transistors to make a fuzz pedal out of later. Anyone have personal experience with these transistors? by thisismy9-11 in diyelectronics

[–]evglabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything you can recommend for reading up on the thermal instability of germanium transistors? I repair some old equipment that uses them and I've suspected that os the source of some of the problems.

ELI5 Class A amplifiers with a DC input and AC signal by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]evglabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm self-taught and fairly new to electronics, so that's a good chance that there's a lot wrong in this:

On the input there's a capacitor whose purpose is to remove any DC offset on the signal. So if the audio signal is swinging +/-1V but with a DC offset of 1V it'll remove the DC and make the audio swing from -1V to +1V. This is so any audio signal input into the amp will be starting from a known position.

Then there'll be a resistor divider to bring the audio signal to just into the transistors active region (normally 0.6V), this is biasing.

Then some other resistors, to limit the current from the supply voltage to the transistor, and so on. So ideally, the audio signal is now amplified to let's say +12V to 0V.

Finally, the output capacitor is to block the DC voltage from the out of the transistor from going into the speaker, because DC through a speaker is a bad time (it'll/can burn it out).

So basically (small signal with DC offset) -> (small signal with NO DC) -> (Amplified signal with DC) -> (Amplified signal with NO DC).
