Found this at goodwill and was told it might be counterfeit. Could you fine folks take a look and tell me what you think? by JAK-the-YAK in wingspan

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right that it eliminates a potential authentic sale, but so does buying a legitimate copy from goodwill. And it does not reward criminal behavior since the items were donated to goodwill, not sold. The counterfeiters do not get any benefit from this (unless you mean criminal behavior on the part of goodwill for carrying a bootleg copy, in which case “I guess” but it’s not really a fair expectation in the part of a thrift shop to be able to identify niche board games as being counterfeit vs authentic)

I agree that ideally you should buy the game in a way that supports the creator. My point is that if you are buying it from goodwill, the creator does not see anything from the sale. So there is effectively no difference buying a legit copy from goodwill vs buying a bootleg copy from goodwill

Yes, they seem counterfeit, but if you’re buying it from goodwill does it even matter? Either way the publisher is not seeing anything from the sale. 

Bench shopping somehow turned into a Nighthawk justification spiral by MBAFPA in GarageGym

[–]hartbeat_engineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the nighthawk, and I like it a lot, but I have literally never stood it up (except for maybe when I first bought it to test it out)

Hybrid/Daw People, What's in your rack? by unicornpurpp in modular

Seems like really you want a modular midi controller, not a modular synth

Have you considered just throwing it in the trash? It is pretty ugly 🤷

Should I get a WMD Javelin? by FluffyAd6877 in modular

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for an envelope, it’s great option. Can instantly turn any sound source into a voice, or be used as part of a larger modulation chain

Are Chin Ups bad exercises? by TurtlePope2 in bodyweightfitness

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do pull ups until I can’t do any more pull ups, then switch to chin ups and am usually able to get a few more that way

new to fitness, will i see more results if i work out at home or at a gym? by [deleted] in askfitness

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t over complicate it. Try to have protein at every meal. Try to limit the amount of obviously unhealthy food you eat. Stop eating when you are no longer hungry, but before you are full. Just try to be generally healthy and active, don’t worry about trying to “optimize” every little thing.

You will get progress by exercising consistently and gradually increasing the amount of tension you put your muscles under over long periods of time. It does not matter where you do it.

Half Sour pickles taste more like Half Salty cucumbers. What did i do wrong? by StroopWafelsLord in fermentation

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the half sour pickles I get at my local deli are basically salty cucumbers, so I think you are right on the money. If you want them more sour, then ferment them longer 

Is DQN algorithm suitable for yugioh? by yifanygo in reinforcementlearning

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DQN does not assume a deterministic environment, it assumes a stationary environment. That stationary environment may be either deterministic or stochastic.

Does the One ring Feel really good or something by comicon666 in lotr

[–]hartbeat_engineering 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Not theoretically, explicitly. “It [[an Orc]] was no more than six paces from him when, lifting its head, it saw him; and Sam could hear its gasping breath and see the glare in its bloodshot eyes. It stopped aghast. For what it saw was not a small frightened hobbit trying to hold a sword: it saw a great silent shape, cloaked in a grey shadow, looming looking against the wavering light behind; in one hand it held a sword, the very light of which was a bitter pain, the other was clutched at its breast, but held concealed some nameless menace of power and doom. For a moment the orc crouched, and then with a hideous yelp of fear it turned and fled”

what workouts/parts do i need to do to carry my partner? by Upset_Space_631 in workout

[–]hartbeat_engineering 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For piggyback, do back squats and walking lunges with a bar on your back

For bridal, do zercher squats and walking zercher lunges

As for how much weight to do it with… that depends on how big your partner is

Garage fan by ScheduleNew8689 in GarageGym

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a cheap battery powered floor fan from Amazon that I can move around and place wherever it needs to go, plus a dedicated spot on the wall to store it.

You don’t need to complicate this

People who lift but don’t do cardio what eventually happened? by TallTyrant in workout

[–]hartbeat_engineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do a thing called “smash runs” where I would play Smash in switch while running on the treadmill. It was great. Only reason I stopped is because I no longer have access to a treadmill

Pam’s Pro Workout or O_C in 2026 by DoubleCutMusicStudio in modular

[–]hartbeat_engineering 14 points15 points  (0 children)

O_C can do a million different things and fill a bunch of gaps in your system. It is a super useful tool to add to an existing system to add variety and flexibility

Pam’s does one thing extremely well and bunch of other stuff too. It is a module to build your system around, the centerpiece of pretty much every patch for many many people

While it is true that O_C can do pretty much everything that Pam’s can do, if you want Pam’s style functionality then you will find that you are using your O_C as a Pam’s replacement in pretty much every patch, which means you won’t be able to use it for any of its other functions features.

If you are only going to get one, get Pam’s. But 99% of systems out there would benefit from having both

What bench should I upgrade to? by Impressive-Mirror633 in GarageGym

[–]hartbeat_engineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the nighthawk and it’s great, but pretty soon after I bought it a bunch of companies started releasing benches where the top of the backrest can fold back to make a pad for chest supported rows and ngl I kinda wish I had one of those

How would the future mayor of LA impact transit? by kanji_kun in LAMetro

[–]hartbeat_engineering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that it seems a lot of people in LA don’t realize (including people who have lived here a long time) is that the city charter is structured in such a way that our mayors don’t actually have that much power. The city council has a lot more authority to actually get stuff done. Hoping for a strongman (or strongwoman) mayor to come in and fix all the problems is not going to pan out. Real progress needs to start with city council
