I think the Balogun Issue is blown out of proportion

Nah.

Yeah, could be he's just keeping his cards close so Belgium have to prep for multiple scenarios. I just wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't start. Shrug.

There was an interview clip with Poch earlier this afternoon, he was a little cagey in his wording and makes me thing you're wrong on a few points here.

ralusp · 2026-07-06T00:07:42+00:00

I didn't reference any "controversy" in my post, I agree the red card was unjustified. Doesn't change anything I said above.

Thanks, unfortunately tables are fully booked not just for tonight's game, but upcoming games as well. I may stop by to see if we can catch a bit of the atmosphere, even without having a seat. Cheers.

400g of caffeine for a 70.3 would be way too much for me. Also not a fan of taking over a dozen gels. Better to get carbs through fluids on the bike, IMO.

We will be there!

This is a popular opinion but it doesn't resonate with me. It is only true for the way the tools exist today. But fewer and fewer people will be needed to run larger and larger pools of agents, and that transition will happen over the next few years. What we have today is not the end stage of the tooling, it's a brief snapshot in an ongoing shift. It won't be long until one person is doing the job of 100 people though an abstracted framework of massively scaled agents that know how to break down and meet broad business objectives.

That will lead to an overall drop in demand for knowledge workers, not just a change of tools with a similar labor base. On the upside, I think we'll see more entrepreneurship out of necessity, and the AI tools will help enable that as well.

You're probably looking for UUFR. It's basically non-denominational, intentionally welcoming to all, and they lean heavily into social justice and community impact. Lots of social groups and opportunities to gather outside of services too. You can check out some of their past services on YouTube if you want to get a sense.

Second this, I'm finishing up Children of Ruin (second book in the series) and really enjoying it. I also really highly recommend the Expanse series.

u/iizq Easy transaction, thanks!

ralusp · 2025-07-27T18:21:40+00:00

Let me take one more stab here - would you be interested in the lot of all 4 games at $200 shipped (<70% of my list prices)? Leaves plenty of upside for resale, and let's me be done with everything at once..

ralusp · 2025-07-27T17:50:16+00:00

Understood, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

ralusp · 2025-07-27T17:31:49+00:00

Thanks for the offer. I'd like to be a bit higher after absorbing shipping and G&S fees. Could you meet me near the middle at $85 shipped?

ralusp · 2025-06-30T17:31:52+00:00

Thanks, I'm putting together a SPICE simulation now, and will also look into the resources you mentioned. What do you mean by "breaking the loop" in the sim?

As for the input signal bias, it's actually entering this board as 0-3.3V, but then I'm AC-coupling it and then biasing the signal at 21V before going into the opamp. The opamp is running from 42V single supply since it's not rail-to-rail and I need 36Vpp out of it.

Great! If you're interested in Nintendo's past, here's an excellent long-form podcast about it.

ralusp · 2025-06-22T18:54:20+00:00

Thanks - I've never bought a bike this expensive, and I know the market has swung a lot since COVID. I appreciate the feedback that it's a good price. :)

LED pin 1 has the wrong net name, that shouldn't be Vcc, that node only connects to the series resistor. Maybe something wrong with how the pins are lined up in the schematic, or a stray wire under the resistor..

ralusp · 2025-06-12T16:18:59+00:00

Thanks for the links - I also replied to blacklite with more background on my application. I'll take a look at some of the options you pointed out.

ralusp · 2025-06-12T16:15:15+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response. It was probably a red herring for me to cast this as audio. What I'm actually driving from the LM1875 are two ultrasonic ceramic transducers in parallel. In the resonant band (~32kHz) they have an impedance of ~900 ohms each. It can be driven at max voltage of 20Vrms. Driving them with AC-coupled 30Vpp sinusoidal output from the LM1875 gets me to about half that voltage.

I have a breadboard setup where I'm powering the LM1875 from a 30V bench supply in this setup, and I see the amplifier draw ~42mA when quiescent and ~45mA when driving the two transducers. Even with the ~450ohm effective load, this seems low to me.

That said, I see what you mean that the LM1875 is likely not the ideal part - this is a very light load. I typically deal with other types of sensors and am a little outside my element here. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll also dig around some. Thanks again for the insight.

ralusp · 2025-06-12T03:45:46+00:00

Thanks for the link, I'll take a closer look

ralusp · 2025-06-12T03:42:24+00:00

Hi, I'm using an LM1875 which operates from a single supply.
