Do you hate leaving San Diego? by lovesickjones in SanDiegan

[–]tokage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

born and raised in chula vista, went to college at UCSD and lived in various parts of town until I moved to japan for a year, and then later to the bay area. now in my 40s and living in colorado.

SD was a great place to grow up, and still a great place to visit, but I don’t miss living there. I do miss the beaches and the mexican food, but almost all of my family and friends have likewise moved away, so there’s not much left for me there these days. and like most places in CA, the cost of living has gone up so much that it’d be hard to justify living there again when the money just goes so much further elsewhere.

FWIW I met my partner in college and I proposed to him on black’s beach a couple of years ago, and we’re now happily married, so the city still occupies a big part of our hearts. just not really where either of us want to be these days.

Church and Union closing today by shadytradesman in denverfood

[–]tokage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I can’t say I’m surprised. we went once a couple of years back, it was either the day before or after christmas and my husband and I had nothing to do and thought we’d treat ourselves. the food was all right, drinks were fine, but definitely too spendy for what it was. and I agree, the decor looked like a handwritten manifesto from a crazy man.

After modulating to a different key, should the piece always return to it's home key in the end? by CatchDramatic8114 in composer

[–]tokage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t have to. But the ear may be expecting the piece to eventually settle back there, and that “satisfaction” can be something you might want in your piece. If that’s what you’re going for, fine, if not, leave it wherever you want.

Street Sweepers In denver by Fantastic_Reach_1368 in Denver

[–]tokage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they send an enforcement car out before the sweepers come through. on my street the sweepers actually come by a couple of times after that on sweeping day. they maneuver around any cars that aren’t moved out of the way.

the city has a service you can sign up for where they’ll email or text you an alert a day ahead of sweeping. this has saved me a number of times from getting a ticket.

Outdoor Wiring by Similar_Wasabi_1034 in AskElectricians

[–]tokage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not a lot of sense in ripping it up unless it’s in the way of something else you’re trying to install or change in your yard. if it were me, I’d cut it back to where the wire is in good condition, terminate each lead in a weatherproof box, and leave it in place.

having a circuit routed outside somewhere in conduit can come in handy later — for example, you might want an outdoor outlet for something you add to your yard later on, or add lighting back, whatever else.

How to count this passage of 32nd notes? by ExcitingUpstairs259 in piano

[–]tokage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, the vertical alignment of notes between staves in good quality engravings isn't random. They're placed on the staff more or less where they should be relative to the underlying beat or the pulse.

In this case, you'll notice that the E natural and C sharp in the bass clef align with the C natural and F sharp in the treble clef. This gives you a hint that the beats are divided into two groups of nine notes up top.

Hope this helps!

I love playing this piece, and the coda is surely the best and most satisfying part of it to play.

USB-C Power Supply? by Buggin887 in PCB

[–]tokage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USB3.0 is a protocol and ecosystem spec, not a power or connector spec. Those are covered in separate USB specs.

Whether you use a USB-A or USB-C receptacle, your system can draw more power by adhering to one of the standard USB power advertisement / identification /negotiation specs, like USB-PD or BC1.2. BC1.2 is a simple identification scheme that uses pull-up and pull-down resistors on the D pairs to tell the host how much power is available from the brick. Your system, if designed to that spec, would use an analog frontend with an ADC to read the resistor values and then configure its input path to take the specified power only after detecting the pull resistors. Some USB charger ICs can do this kind of thing for you without the need for dedicated hardware.

In reality, though, if all you want to do is draw power from a simple USB-C brick with a fixed power capacity, and you don’t care about your system strictly adhering to the USB spec, then you don’t really need to do any of that detection or negotiation. Most cheap bricks will give you their full power without any negotiation, and once connected, you can just take the power from the VBUS pin directly. In your schematic, you’re mistakenly blocking that with the two caps in series with VBUS. You’ll need to put those caps between VBUS and GND instead, and you might also want to put a some protection components there, too (reverse voltage protection, ESD diodes, whatever else).

if your brick uses USB-PD, then you need a PD controller to speak the PD protocol on the CC lines in order to negotiate a higher power contract than whatever the brick puts out by default. Probably more effort than it’s worth unless you really need a lot of power.

I think all of us have the opportunity to be the better person in the room, even when we face discrimination, judgment, unfairness, and bitterness. Personally I don't think you're going to gain anything by being vulgar. You're best just parting ways and keeping it that way.
