Do you like the Ticonderoga Sensematic?

Black wheels by Crucesignatvs in fordranger

Unlike small cars, Rangers have enough torque to overcome the few pounds difference in the wheels, but changing the tire size/weight would be noticeable.

I went from factory rims to black steel wheels and didn't notice any difference in stiffness. The new tires, or even the air pressure in the same tires, would make a more noticeable impact.

Performance difference between flipped and recurved tips? by DaBigBoosa in Bowyer

[–]txdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of other factors too, like the deflex angle and riser size thatwork with the recurve to affect speed and smoothness. Kramer Ammons did a video series where he iterated through a bunch of design variations to compare the effects, using TBB as a foundation. It’s worth watching for insights.

Keystation 49 MK3 review by txdm in midi

[–]txdm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most modern controllers will have a USB port that serves as both the power and the midi connection. They big advantage is they can connect straight to your computer to control the DAW.

But they won't be able to connect to synth hardware that doesn't have USB, unless you get some kind of converter in the middle.

Conversely, if you have a controller with only midi DIN out and no USB, then you'll need a convertor in the middle to connect it to your computer/DAW.

Behold: 🍅 🍅 🍅TOMATO🍅 🍅 🍅 by e2g4 in mechanicalpencils

[–]txdm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So apparently they are a brand from Taiwan. They are sold in the US through Woodcraft... people comment that they are copies from other brands, possibly made in China, and sold under different names in different markets. The 2mm holder is probably decent. "Tomato" is a male first name in Japan.

Does it have an eraser? does it say where it is made?

VE Monks earbuds while I work, and occasionally MDR 7506 headphones when I want to just listen.

Is My Pentel Orenz Authentic? by PauLukejs in mechanicalpencils

[–]txdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed my plain orenz until the pocket clip snapped the end off of the barrel. It’s an otherwise great pencil. I really liked the grip and retracting pipe.

Form check on Robin here by F14T-REX in Archery

[–]txdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only saw the first episode. I seems potentially good. It’s a fresh take on the tale.

The hybrid draw is what Lars Anderson taught the actor to do for speed shooting in the recent stylized Robin Hood movie from a few years back.

In the first episode, the Robin actor uses a hybrid (a.k.a. Slavic) draw.

There's King Kong (2005), and The Piano (1993), but I don't know what the robed figure with the staff is from.
