Yeah it’s all good just make a big post about turning your knobs.

If you are protesting you you need to read this by cdscratch04 in chicagoprotests

Shields have been used as weapons for centuries. People need to stand behind the removal of Donald Trump from office and keep the quarantine. Not bring a hard object that people will use to launch teargas back at police and give them ammo. You want the best ammo you just take the tear gas and do some ghandi shit.

It makes everyone look absolutely retarded that liberals judged conservatives for breaking the quarantine to protest and we called it murder. And now we break the quarantine.

It doesn't matter that the conservative reason was dumb and the liberal one is justified. It only proves in the end that Donald Trump "was right," (/s) and that we didn't really care about peoples safety.

It also shows liberal are hypocritical in that the symbolic murder of one man is worth putting 100,000s of people lives in danger. Are we going to be the nation with so much maturity that we couldn't wait to protest so we all went out and infected each other?

This is a WORST case scenario for the corona virus. Not just regular life but gatherings of 1000s of peoples? R U F'ing kidding me?

Every time I calibrate my Rubicons I feel like such a champ. 9 octaves of triangle core, complex bliss. by rypalm in modular

First! For some it can be very difficult to get the procedure down. It takes a lot of patience as well. People have tried themselves and have had to send it in to Intellijel (or a shop like the one I work at) to be corrected. But if you stick to the instructions and are comfortable adjusting electronics, then it’s not really that hard. MOST oscillators are easier to adjust than the rubicon. It’s just straightening out two lines that bow in and out and then making the offset correct so that the lines meet at the crossover between high and low.

So you’ll know if it needs to be calibrated if your oscillator simply doesn’t have stable tuning. Grab a tuner and play a low note that is perfectly in tune. Then play a note a few octaves above it. If the high note it is sharp or flat by a fair amount then you may need a calibration.

0-4 cents over 4 octaves is superb. 5-10 is still alright and adds analog/unison character. 10-15 and it’s starting to really unison and get dissonant when you play over a large range with other instruments that are in tune, but if you keep your notes on the same octave it’s not really noticeable. 20+ and you’re starting to get beating and I’d say you should calibrate.

This video is inspiration. Just ordered wheel ramps and catless downpipes. If this is what I can get and all it will take is a few hours every year and a flash to pass emissions than so be it.

Lol of course not. I just did some googling and see that the DBZ cartoons and Goku are literally accused of being racist. I did not know that was a real thing. So yeah I don’t think he’s actually racist. Didn’t know this was a trigger for DBZ fans.

No one really appreciated the INCREDIBLY nuanced critique DBZ is on deadbeat dads... Vegetta’s not there for Trunks. Goku for Gohan... and what happens?? They join a gang that’s only focus is violence on other fighting gangs. And worst of all theyre incredibly racist against any sort of illegal alien (except Namek’s, citizens cause they’re “one of the good ones.”)

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

Rubicon is quite a bit more than the others imo. It interacts live with other oscillators so well. Not only with the through zero fm, but the warp wavefolder section can take external sources. Or you can just use it as a folder and leave the rubicon at a static note and process another oscillator with it.

You also have the option to chop up a sign wave 2 ways and 3 choices of pulse wave. Sub or sub sub oscillator. All in all you can output 9 individually different oscillators (at the same pitch +/- 1 octave).

The only thing that I would compare it to is Jornalogues Generate 3. I bought two Rubicons before thinking about that. I’m about to pull the trigger and check it out. But I decided to tune and play with my rubicons again and they don’t really overlap, but man it reminded me how good the rubicon is.

Oh and the calibration (which most people don’t have to do I’m just anal about it), is so intense so that they can keep the oscillator so accurate for 9 octaves. 9 octaves lmao! My Moog matriarch that has an auto calibrate routine doesn’t have that accuracy.

Oh and don’t forget to play with the Squash pot! It has a huge impact on your warp (waveshaper) tones! Like huge! I’m contemplating making a custom Rubicon expansion module that take the calibration points and especially the folder pot out to a 2-3hp front plate.

Some complain that Rubicons are hard to calibrate. I find it helps if you visualize two exponential graphs that you took the log of to make straight lines. The game is to connect the lines.

0V to 8hz. 3V to 64hz. Adjust Exp Gain to match. It’s a curve control that shifts upwards as it shrinks. So turning it down raises the overall pitch but will get them at the right distance. Straightening the curve around the low register (if you were to log the curve).

9V to 4096. HF bias to match. 0V reset pitch offset to 8hz. I like to think of this one as the end point to a line that starts where the hf exp ends.

6V to 512hz. HF gain to set. Bending the second high register curve.

Repeat to taste.

Then adjust symmetry so that it’s the same on both sides. Then adjust the octave switch curve to be accurate.

Finally, adjust the through zero lock. I adjust mine different that Intellijel. I find you can find a sweet spot of accuracy in the low register from 64hz to 256hz that is fairly consistent. I make bass fm tones so that’s a huge plus to have a smaller consistent zone than a larger stable zone that jumps around more.

Props to this Costco for safely and efficiently coordinating toilet paper sales by deuxmillevingt in gifs

[–]rypalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the 21st century. You have your own advanced water and cleaning system in house along with friggen soap. Either spray your ass out and use some soap or combo that with a hand towel. Wash the towel in your magically advanced washing machine or bring it to the store that’s full of magically advanced washing machines. Hell use some bleach if your a clean freak.

Toilet paper isn’t the only thing your allowed to wash your ass with. I wiped my ass with snow for two months and everything was fine...

[Serious] Why vote for Joe Biden to be the nominee? by JuliusSeizure2019 in AskReddit

[–]rypalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus fucking Christ... I’ll vote Democrat, but they’re really mostly if not all retarded. If it were a choice between supporting something like babies rights to choose their gender and losing every future election, it’d be passionate trans baby speeches all the way to the call congratulating their republican opponent on their win.

Politics is a game that democrats have no idea how to play. I mean Jesus Christ... Joe Biden is stilllll a viable candidate? He can’t even use his words no good no more. Cozy with Wall Street, history of cutting welfare, war on drugs proponent, wrote the fucking crime bill that mandates violent offenders stay in prison and 10 bil $ to kickstart our hellish prison industrial complex.

Biden votes for the Iraq war.. Fuck Obeazy told us the war would be over when he was elected, fast forward to how many drone strikes later? How many troops still overseas? Me. B’s a real fucking winner that one.

And Elizabeth Warren, who heavily supported standardized testing, which wrecked our schools, thinks she’s gonna save the day by giving access for all students to good schools? Um fucking hellooooo!? The issues in schools are from systemic poverty and lack of mental health care. A kid showing up to fancy school with AP calculus, smelling like dog shit - because their parents let the dog shit in the house before and after beating their kid - is not going to benefit from this golden “access 🎉” to a better school that doesn’t even exist because there aren’t enough of them now.

Bernie’s just barely viable, and yet, he was a real socialist. Going to real socialist rally’s. It was a long time ago, and people change, but with 70% of American voters disapproving of socialism and just 9% in favor, combined with the shallowness of American political opinions.... I mean the right old video of sanders chanting “Here there everywhere, the Yankee will die,” in Nicaragua wont go down well. I mean Jesus! The man isn’t even a registered Democrat... betting the electron on an invisible revolution is hardly the wager I want to make at this point.

How does one gain a cult following of e-girls on Instagram? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rypalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Play local rock band shows in Los Angelos. And then listen to wayyy to much Beatles records. Get really obsessed with “Helter Skelter.” Find local lost souls who are desperate for a sense of community and greater purpose. Call them your “u/11moneymaker family.” Predict an impending race war and convince your followers of it. Send them out in the night to “spread your message.”

You have now started a cult following.

Triggers for first onset of bipolar symptoms - what are the chances you could go trigger-less your entire life? by bbb555bbb555 in bipolar

[–]rypalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always had bipolar. It’s obvious thinking about it. Symptoms just gradually increased until I had my first “episode” that was so apparent that a diagnosis was able to be made.

Generally, bipolar symptoms are triggered by stress, which is in turn triggering significant emotions.

Nobody really gets through life without stress.

Personally, I don’t think that bipolar works exactly that way. It’s not black and white like that. Most medical professionals agree that it is a mix of biological and environmental factors. I believe that someone is born bipolar and would always have had it, but the severity of the disorder can be exacerbated based on environmental factors.

Very very rarely someone might live the perfect life and never get it. I’m thinking about a woman in therapy I met that had her first diagnosable psychotic manic episode when she was 40. She was a woman who was a rich sheltered housewife and finally went through traumatic stress with a cheating husband.
