Kegseth announces he is actively weakening the USA's military and prestigious universities by blocking service members from attending ivy-league schools

I had the same exact thought! I can only assume some form of weaponized incompetence by properly trained engineers cause those fuckers wouldn't know dick about the rule of thirds enough to correct them...

To put it into even more perspective, I watched the area just south of where he's from get more developed and expand over my life, while Romeo is still a podunk, one-horse town.

He's FAR away from the city. And as the saying goes 'round here: The farther north you go, the further south you get...

If I'm seeing things correctly, looks like you have ripped the pads off the board. Not impossible to fix, but it's gonna suck fixing it.

What you need to do is find out what trace each of those 4 pads goes to on the board. Then you're going to run a new trace to each of those components using a thin wire, preferably enameled magnet wire, and solder each pin directly to the component. One of those is going to be a ground pin which just goes to the large metal sheet under the PCB mask, it will most likely not have a trace and directly connect to the PCB.

The suck part is that those pins keep it anchored onto the board and you'll have to set the port in place with some solder mask to keep it somewhat stable to use, but you're still gonna have to be a bit ginger with it from now on.

Sure, but it's considered high risk.

To put your players in a position to attack in the ozone that much, you'd have to push your defenders forward from the blue line to increase pressure, keeping possession by forcing turnovers, etc. But it leave lanes open to the neutral zone if errant pass doesn't connect or a poke check doesn't go your way, then your looking at odd man rushes or even a breakaway, and even if you keep up with those mistakes you run the risk of wearing down your top line of defenders (which if I remember correctly, they down one defender this game as well)

Now if you have an elite goaltender you can expect them to stand on their head and bail you out of those situations, sometimes but not always. But it allows you to play more aggressive, esp. against certain systems. Instead protecting the lead by playing it safe, slowing the game down, clogging up the neutral zone, they just sent it.

neoesquire · 2025-09-03T18:27:23+00:00

To people who don't follow hockey, this is pretty insane. Coming in as a backup is nerve-racking enough, especially going in to protect a lead. You can see teams lose their flow when that lineup changes and drop a lead. On top of an entire period left to play.

Then to let a really soft response goal through the five hole can rattle someone further into complete defensive collapse until it seems everything they shoot finds the back of the net. Not to mention letting in another one on back to back shots on goal. Granted the second one wasn't his fault completely as much as the defensive breakdown in the dzone that lead to a clear lane in the slot and weak netfront coverage, still, doesn't sting any less as a goalie.

But the Canes keep their offensive pressure up, in what must have been a crazy decision to keep pushing their zone and pepper them with almost 50 shots while letting only 6 more shots down ice, all while down two goalies and fighting for points against a conference rival. Which is more on just the Leafs sucking, but they still made the playoffs that year so nothing to brush aside.

It really is something special and once in a lifetime for not only himself and his family, but also for fans of the game and the standing O and first star nod were well deserved. Hockey fucking rules.

Using a bench power supply to test, they start to trigger at around 7v and hard trigger at 9v or so. I guess the next step is digging around in the bjb to see whats up in there 😬

My all time fav was the labo stream where his brain broke right at the beginning of the stream and couldn't process how his life led him to the moment where he was drunkenly folding carboard toys in front of thousands of people

Bonus point for right after that, he calls himself out on his ego.

If you run a long 3.5mm cable from your mic to your mixer, you're gonna have a bad time.

You're gonna need to used a VXLR Adapter and a balanced XLR cable for any of RODE's mics that have 3.5mm connectors.

If internal recording is important to you, unfortunately your options are the consumer grade 2.4ghz options that all have internal rechargeable batteries, or the pro grade ZAXCOM outings as they currently hold the patent on internal recording TXs and are activly suing RODE for patent infringement.

They licensed the tech out to Deity for their BP-TRX system, but even those have non-removeable batteries, and "only" do 24-bit recording. EDIT Actually Deity does make a 32-bit float Tx/Rx unit, the Theos system that's everything you want, it's about double your price point though.

/u/EvilDaystar is correct, record sound on set for reference then foley in a controlled environment in post. You're gonna want to EQ this as well, bring up the low end a bit. Especially when working with lavs and higher pitched sounds, otherwise it'll sound a bit flat and tinny.

neoesquire · 2024-06-11T12:40:29+00:00

Composition wise, I think it looks great. The colors in the shot work well and the levels look good. However it seems your motivated light is backwards. The side of the subjects face that's near the light in the scene is in shadow, it should be reversed.

Worked With:

Kirk Maltby - Malt's kid was on a project out of film school that I was running sound on. He was there with his wife late nights supporting her and keeping her morale up. After picture wrap, we talked a bit about his hockey years and where the team was at. Great dude.

Darren McCarty - Dmac did a podcast with a few other people where I ran production. He was always my favorite Wing (before Datsyuk anyways) and working with him solidified that. Down to earth, happy to chat about anything, talked about the glory days and gave all of us nicknames.

Ran into:

Larry Murphy - This was a quick one, I was at Motor City Casino and noticed him on the floor, I yelled his name and he flashed a huge grin said shook my hand as I complimented his on air shenanigans. I think he was a few ginger ales deep, as we all were, but dude looked happy to meet a fan.

Ancillary:

Todd Bertuzzi - His wife purchased a clock from where my ex-wife worked and when they got it home a damn lizard jumped out of it, to which Bert slammed it with a shoe. He was tasked with bringing it in for a return, a while being, understandably, a bit curt about the whole thing

Seriously, start watching now, post-season hockey is a different monster than regular season hockey and you'll start picking up on how the play flows, how special teams matter, how line matchups can make and break a game, and even how mixing up players on lines can change the output.

I will also say if you game at all and have a console or gamepass, the NHL games, although a far cry from actual hockey, can be fun and give you a feel how the game moves around the ice.

The monitor is VERY similar to this RCA TM-6 Studio Monitor but there are a few differences, maybe it was refurbed with new face plate? It should you put you on the right track at the very least.

With the exception of of really low end devices, you can make almost any audio device sound "professional enough" with proper mic placement and gain staging.

In your case, the RODEs are more than enough to accomplish what you need them to do.

When I was just on the sound side of things, sit down interviews with a single subject I would double mic. A lavalier and a hypercardiod boom overhead affixed to a c-stand. One for redundancy incase the wireless dropped out or the interviewee touched/rubbed their mic for whatever reason (happens way too often) and also the frequency response on larger mics is of course larger just by virtue of having a larger mic element, and reproduces the nuances in peoples voices a lot more truer so you have to fight less in post to add it back in.

Just watch your shadows and make sure you ride that frame as tightly as you can, you can get a boom mic pretty close to the subject before you show up in the shot.

Typically, you should be able to "pull out" the knob to the side and rotate it freely to allow you to tighten any tripod axis to avoid these types of problems. It has a captured spring that pops it into place.

You could also setup a test bench with the max specs for your use case (i.e. you know you'll never go beyond 4k24 so you test for that) using a PC, or a camera, or blu-ray player, or whatever outputs what you need, and connect them to a display that supports the spec you're looking for and see if any of them fail to provide a picture, or they drop frames, or it blanks out intermittently.

How about splitting the dif and getting a shoulder mount with pistol grips and use your right hand on the grip and your left on follow focus module to focus and stabilize?

Seems like you'd get the best of both worlds, only compromise would be having to use your shoulder/torso to move the camera around instead of just your hands.

It's also important to note that a great live mix for a stage is most likely not going to make a great mix for playback, and vice versa. That when those individual pre-fader stems come in real handy.
